Ordered the $12 meal box and was pleasantly surprised. The portions of each item were great. I asked for a vegetarian version of the vodka pasta and it came with roasted peppers and mushrooms coated in decadent sauce. The margarita pizza was fresh but didn't feature tomatoes on top but uses a fresh tomato sauce instead. Everything was delicious and amazing value.

I have never written a review before for any restaurant but I had to for this one. This meal was spectacular! I ordered the $12 meal box Vodka Pasta and subbed the pasta for gnocchi. The sauce was decadent and the pieces of prosciutto in the sauce were a lovely surprise. 10/10 recommend this spot.

I had ordered this sandwich in the restaurant a few weeks back and had been craving it. It came packaged well, did not get soggy and was just as delicious as i remembered at the restaurant! Only thing I was missing was my aperol spritz! lol
Size wise, it is comparable to a footlong Sub and I would definitely be ordering again!

I was not a fan of this Vodka Pasta. The sauce was too thick, and it was too tomato tasting. There was also an abundance of sauce compared to noodles. I would not order again.

I’m a regular here and love the dishes at Coto e Crudo. The vodka pasta is one of my favorites
My only note: the heirloom tomato, buffalo mozzarella, and pesto sandwich had a basil flavor so strong and penetrating that it overpowered the fresh mozzarella and heirloom tomatoes. I’m not sure if it’s from the type of basil leaves on the sandwich or a particularly strong variety of basil in the pesto, but a milder one would make it much better. Everything else is great — I’ll keep coming back!
