Cosa Nostra the best restaurant is the name under which the trio of siblings, Shereen, Shan, and Yasmeen created a place for people to sample some of their exclusive Italian food. This restaurant surely is, unlike any other place in Lahore. Cosa Nostra in Italian means ‘our thing’ and is slang for the Italian mafia. Either way, the name fits in place that is known for doing its own thing that is different than the rest. The siblings inherited a taste for fine Italian food from their Italian mother, Paola Cardone, and very successfully managed to gel their Italian recipes to the local taste of Lahore.

The moment you step into Cosa Nostra’s Pizzeria, the ambiance makes you feel as if you are in some part of Rome. With old wine bottles jammed in the wall, fine crystal chandeliers and smell of fresh pizzas and baked cheese, the feel of the place gives a dream-like experience of a restaurant in the suburbs of Rome.

Owned by a half Italian family, the place offers true Italian thin-crust pizzas. Not just known for its exclusivity but also for its unique style of cuisine, their recipes are from all parts of Italy adapted to match local tastes. However, one thing to note here is that although variations are made in recipes to an extent that they do not lose the exotic Italian essence.

The menu has a wide variety of soups cooked with exotic Italian herbs. Cream of chicken was the best amongst the soups on the menu. Light and creamy served with crispy croutons, it was simply delightful to the palate. Pizzas make a major part of the menu with thin-crust pizzas and toppings ranging from chicken, shrimps, and meats of all sorts. Most scrumptious and appealing out of the menu is Marinara Pizza, with a topping of tail prawns and squid. Adding on, an assorted variety the kinds of pasta are also there on the menu. Pomodoro Basilico, spaghetti pasta with a steamy red sauce, cheese and chicken is certainly a treat for all the pasta lovers out there. The meal is not complete without their special Italian drinks like Seasonal Granita with rich milk and coffee and Gingerrita that has strong ginger and lemon taste to it.

No meal is complete without a dessert, especially at Cosa Nostra. The desserts are as Italian as the rest of the menu. The best was the Diable Chocolate. It is a hot Italian dessert with chocolate brownie dipped in hot milk pudding. The pudding is as good as the brownie itself, rich in chocolate with a slight vanilla flavor to it.

Costa Nostra is indeed a symbol of what you would never think of finding in this city, but which exists. It’s like a fairytale told by the creative artwork on the walls and the heavenly delicious food.

A meal at Cosa Nostra the best restaurant takes you away from a usual dining experience that we get elsewhere and will enhance your taste buds for sure.
