La Cosa Nostra

Outstanding food, our server Yemi was spot on with recommendations and service was impeccable. Was in town working for a few days and will be back.

First and foremost, this isn't my first time here. The first time, one year ago- GREAT. They offered a variety of things like balsamic pearls, caprese salad and cacio de Pepe, that were PHENOMENAL.(they were still pretty new at this point.)Second time- October 2024. The garlic bread was great, my lasagna was great. They didn't have tomatoes to make the ONLY thing my husband wanted, caprese salad. My husband's chicken parm was sub-par at best. The chicken was slimy and the marinara had no herbs in it. Very bland.Which brings me to tonight- our family birthday dinner. Our waitress, Dakota, was very sweet. This is NOT a reflection of her. We ordered our super expensive skirt steak with chimichurri, "mashed" potatoes and asparagus. My husband and I got the same thing this time. The steak was more like gelatinous goop, the chimi was basil pesto tasting and the potatoes were cold and had HUGE lumps. Not small little ones, like half a potato. It was not great. When we got our checks, all three tickets had a "cake cutting fee" on them. I asked to speak to our waitress, she wasn't around... so the hostess got Ellie. I very nicely asked what that fee was for..($25) she RUDELY informed me that if a patron brings in a dessert, you get charged that fee. She got super defensive and said," it's posted on our website, the menu and the door." Well Ellie- hate to say it, it's in NONE of those locations. I didn't appreciate being quietly yelled at or your attitude, after having a terrible dinner. Thanks but no thanks.This will be the last time we ever eat here.Also- fix your menu online to match what you actually have. No one likes a surprise. Lastly- if under new management, like I've read, learn from the previous owners. The coaching could help. Food: 1/5 | Service: 3/5 | Atmosphere: 4/5

Email sent to [email protected] (taken from La Cosa Nostra's Facebook page) last night with no response (yet); will update review if a response is received:"I really don't know where to begin, I'm so taken aback. You're a restaurant in the business of hospitality, right? Perhaps share that with your employee named Ellie, who took it upon herself to nastily and aggressively berate my sister this evening. Let me paint a picture for you.Our party dined with you in observance of three family birthdays (my sister's being one of them) and brought a homemade cake to enjoy, just as we did last year when we reserved the vault room. Imagine our surprise when, upon receiving the checks, we were charged a $25 "cake cutting fee." I realize that's just semantics, like a "corkage fee," but maybe call it something else when the servers do no such thing. I digress. When questioned by my sister about the charge, Ellie told her in no uncertain terms that the cake cutting fee was clearly posted "on the door, the menu, and the website." Multiple members of our party thoroughly checked all three places and found it stated NOWHERE. The audacity! How rude and misinformed can one person be? Needless to say, an otherwise pleasant experience was instantly and wholly ruined by one person's lack of professionalism and tact. I've never had a bad experience at Copper & Oak, so I'm not sure what's gone wrong at La Cosa Nostra, but none of my meals there have come close by comparison. And you can be assured I'll never spend my hard earned money there again; in fact, I'll be hesitant to support Copper & Oak by mere association. And I'll be quick to caution others regarding both establishments.I'll be curious to see if this email is ignored (my prediction) or handled in a timely, professional manner. And even more curious to see - if acknowledged - how you intend to remedy the situation.Oh, and you might consider updating the website, as you highlight both spaghetti and meatballs and saltimbocca, but serve neither."

Tender and flavorful. The appetizer featured is Scallops alla Veneziana. Perfect for this sunny day. If you wish to have exceptional service with great food - Go Here and ask for Samantha. Her attention to detail and the entire team's phenomenal customer service make you feel like you have always been a part of this special place. The food is exquisite- fresh, rich, and unforgettable. The atmosphere is inviting, warm, and comfortable.

This place never disappoints and tonight's NYE Dinner was excellent.Along with the typical great service and atmosphere, they offered a variety of five-course options tonight!We chose Caesar salads (always our favorite, seared scallops, salmon, cream cheese, onion and red onion crostini, two perfectly cooked 14oz. prime rib entrees with garlic mashed and broccolini! Desserts were tiramisu and chocolate layer -- all tied together with a nice glass of champagne!With all of that, we were home by 8:30 as the place began to fill up.FANTASTIC AS AKWAYS!!!

First of all, if you don't know, Danville has a fabulous food scene!Wow, we loved La Cosa Nostra. The drinks were fun & delish. Love the atmosphere. Our appetizers of calamari & mussels were sooo good. But the pasta y'all, a must try... they make it fresh in-house and it was amazing!This is the perfect spot for date night, family gathering or time with friends.

This place was definitely worth the drive. Service was impeccable, the food was amazing and the cocktails were perfection! They were serving a special sangria made with blueberry wine that was so delicious and refreshing! I ordered Tuscan salmon and added scallops and the dish was exactly what I hoped for! Each item was cooked perfectly with just the right balance of seasoning. The salmon and scallops were both fantastic! We loved it all so much we bought the kitchen staff 2 rounds! This place deserves another visit soon!

They were open for Mother's Day and it was a beautiful sunny day, so we are outside. The service was decent since it was so busy-the wait staff was very friendly! The food was very good. This is just a nice place to go and you always feel like you are in another city. It's nice to have upscale dining in a small town.

Food was ok but I'm Italian from NY and thought it was not so.Expensive and bla and not worth the money

Let's just say, I love a restaurant for the food, but we rave about the service here. I've managed restaurants, served/bartended for 10+ years and have always held my service standards high, working from restaurants in Bar Harbor Maine, to Atlanta, GA. Our server Grayson was attentive, kind, honest and informative. He was a one of a kind server, and every restaurant needs a Grayson. The atmosphere was beautiful, gorgeous bar area and I felt like I was in a scene from an Italian restaurant. Food was wonderful, bread was perfection, soft/moist, salads were fresh and Caesar dressing was creamy. I had the fettuccini with chicken, and let me say it was the best Alfredo I've had in a restaurant in many years. Fettuccini was cooked Al dente, and the sauce coated very well. Did I mention it was loaded with chicken? Also, get the lemon cake! We can't wait to go back'
