"First founded in 1911 by Michael Cossetta — an immigrant from Calabria, Italy who put down roots in St. Paul’s Upper Levee, the one-time heart of the city’s Italian community — Cossetta has grown into a multi-story pizzeria, pasticceria, restaurant, and tavern. Grab a slice of fresh, trattoria-style pizza, a densely layered lasagna al forno, or an order of arancini at the cafe; the pasticceria, modeled with Old World Italian flair, doles out tiramisu, chocolate-dipped cannoli, and scratch-made gelato from long glass pastry cases." - Eater Staff
