Cumpa' Cosimo

Cumpa' Cosimo Review

Lustier-looking than most Ravello spots, Cumpa' Cosimo is run devotedly by Netta Bottone, who tours the tables to ensure her clients are content. Her family has owned this cantina for 75 of its 300-plus years, and she has been cooking under the arched ceiling for around 60 of them. You can't miss here with any of the dishes featuring classic Ravellian cuisine. A favorite (share it—it's huge) is a misto of fettuccine, fusilli, tortellini, and whatever other homemade pasta inspires her, served with a fresh, fragrant pesto. Meats are generally excellent—after all, they are supplied by the butcher shop next door, also run by Netta. The funghi porcini mushroom starter and the house cheesecake are so delicious you'll drop your fork. Local wines ease it all down gently, and homemade gelato is a luscious ending.

    My husband and I visited this restaurant in early August. It just so happened that our taxi driver we hired for the day was going to take us here anyway, but we beat him to it! He made us a reservation a couple of hours before we got there (no problems). I took the advice of Fodor's and ordered the pasta house special, which is a plate with a little bit of all of their signature dishes. It was the perfect amount of each and i got to try all of them. Delicious!! We started with the tomatoes and mozzarella which was also delicious. The owner really does walk around and mingle with all the guests. She brought us the lemon sorbet on the house for dessert. It was amazing...the perfect consistency and flavor all stuffed into a frozen lemon rind. Such a wonderful restaurant that I highly recommend!
