Cotogna deserves whatever accolades it has gotten! I actually don't know why I haven't been here even though I've passed by this restaurant, which is just a 10 minute walk from my place, a million times. I blame it on reservation challenges during peak dining hours.

A few weeks ago, I finally reserved a spot during lunch hour. To my surprise, the bill came out more than I thought ($70+ for 2, including beverages), but the all the food was well worth it.

Overall, good service and ambiance, unique Italian rustic food, and very accommodating to an active kiddo. A must for every foodie.

I also want to thank the host for giving me a well lit seat by the window. All photos below are unedited. 

Tip: In order to save on some dough, convert your credit card points to a Cotogna gift certificate.  

Spinach sfogato- I liked this the most!
