"Cotra took over the old Monte’s space, a neighborhood Italian institution. But before you wax poetic about all the red wine you drank there, you should know this—the Japanese izakaya has kept the pizza oven, because the sushi chef experiments with Japanese-style pizza. Not much has changed, except now you can eat mochiko chicken and something called addictive cabbage here, which tastes like a salt-and-vinegar chip but in cabbage form. Start your meal there, and then move on to larger plates, like tonkatsu, and a mazesoba with saucy ground pork and a soft boiled egg. Come here for a casual date night, and drink a carafe of sake by candlelight. " - bryan kim, carina finn koeppicus, willa moore
