Cosi Cucina is the well known West Des Moines Restaurant with an innovative Italian cuisine featuring homemade dishes and daily specials prepared with only the finest ingredients and served in a casual atmosphere.
A local favorite, voted best Des Moines Italian restaurant and most romantic. Cosi Cucina features an extensive wine list, with over 36 wines available by the glass. Conveniently located just minutes from most area hotels.
"Cosi Cucina is usually a solid place to get a good meal. The server we were placed with did not provide good service. He was there physically but mentally checked out. 3 out of 4 of our dishes were good. One of my dining companions got a dish they had before it wasn't as good. Overall good meal, bad server."

"Our party of 6 was seated immediately by friendly staff. The menu selection is broad (basics like pizza all the way up to truly unique signature meals). The waiter (Skip, if I recall correctly) was friendly, had a great sense of humor, and knew the menu inside and out. Our food arrived promptly, and each dish was delicious. Portions are generous, which is a shame because it is hard to save room for dessert. Don't miss desserts, though. The cheesecake is outstanding, as is the brownie. The restaurant offers vegetarian and gluten-free options. (Sadly, all of the desserts contain eggs, so vegans may have to skip this course.) Prices are very reasonable. Highly recommended."

"I've been to Cosi before and the food has been wonderful. On this trip, the fish I ordered (Grouper) was too salty for me to eat and the risotto that was with the dish had too much cream in it and I couldn't eat it. My husband ordered the pork marsala but they were out of pork so then he ordered the filet Medium Rare and it came out Rare. All in, just not a good experience"

"Our wait staff was excellent, martinit cocktails done as requested, and pasta dishes fantastic. We hadn't been there for several years and it was a treat to return."
