I go quite a bit and I always have a good meal and they are very friendly. All of the pasta dishes are good. If they have a polenta special, get it. That could be their signature dish.

Agreed. They have had a new pasta special lately which is very good...I don't know the name, but it's fusilli pasta in fra diavlo sauce with some other stuff like arugula sauteed in there. I think it's my new fave...we just ordered it as takeout from there.

You are complete douche for allowing yourself to be intimidated by someones screen name. That is really pathetic.

You are complete douche for judging someone on their screen name without asking what it meant.

You are a complete douche for passing judgement on someone without ever meeting them much like you probably do when meeting a minority. This is especially funny because your probably have an Obama sticker on your Subaru.

You are a complete douche for accusing me of using steroids and "picking" on criminals.

You are a complete douche for defending these same criminals.

So, for the record I think you are complete douche.

Thanks,

Whoa. How did I miss this? This is a monument to idiocy.

And if you don't realize that your screen name has a fairly unsublte double entendre, then you are even dumber than your posts.

I guess I have to repeat myself because you are more than a little bit slow.

I wasn't defending criminals; I was defending the characters in our neighborhood who subsist on odd jobs like street sweeping.

By the way, the food at Costeria is underwhelming. There are far better choices for Italian food in Philadelphia, and several in the immediate neighborhood.

I was thinking of going to Costeria tonight and wanted to get some opinions when I found this thread.

The bolded two sentences above are the funniest thing I've read all week.

So did you actually go? We were at La Costiera tonight and it was great food. The salmon with crab meat is awesome. I usually don't like salmon much but he does an outstanding job.

Nahh, this thread turned me off to the idea of going there. Went to the Abbaye instead with some friends. Salmon with crab sounds good, maybe I'll give it a try after all. I am a big fan of limoncello, so that's a reason to try it also.

I have to admit I wasn't that impressed with the food either, so I'll agree that there are probably better Italian food choices in the immediate vicinity. Cochon across the street is nice, though.
