At
first glance quite modern, spacious and pleasant. The menu was
nothing out of the ordinary and a couple of us had antipasti –
mixed meats, olives with Balsamic and olive oil followed by main
courses of fillet steak, lamb and pizza.
We
weren't over impressed by the “on the job training” of waiting
staff. Not a great first impression.
In
fairness there seems to be mixed reviews from one extreme to the
other. It wasn't the worst meal ever but it certainly wasn't the
best.
It's
a great shame. As we know Whitby is famous for its fish and chips
but holidaymakers can only take so many portions and need a change of
cuisine – a little care and attention to the detail and, more to
the point, the food at Cosa Nostra, would make for a lot of
happy customers and a successful, profitable restaurant. Definitely
a missed and potentially lucrative opportunity.
P.s.
I can never finish a whole pizza – a small tip – take it home –
roll each triangle from the widest edge, finishing at the point so it
looks croissant ish and wrap tightly in foil. Part of lunch next day
warmed in a hot oven for a few minutes!
Pps.
The forecast looks even worse tomorrow – batten down the hatches!
