I lunched at Cosmo’s Bistro and Delicatessen in Port Orchard this past Saturday with a group of friends.
The main parking lot is in the back of the restaurant, so if you are unfamiliar with Cosmo’s as I was one takes the first entrance they see which takes them through the deli or store. The deli resembles a small Italian deli but with the added delight of hard ice cream by the scoop. Directional signs take you further ahead into the restaurant portion of Cosmo’s.
Cosmo’s is just as described in the title – an Italian Bistro. Esconced in brick and quite intimate no matter where you dine, you get the feel that you are in an Italian eatery from the moment you step through the deli.
The menu is entirely Italian food items as well with an extensive wine list. I was with a group of 8 and we all dined on Panini sandwiches with the exception of one who had a pasta dish. The menu does boast of some nice salads as well rounding out a very excellent lunch spot.
I tried the Sweet and smoky Black Forest ham and mildly sharp Gruyère cheese with an olive tapenade spread. I was not sure how the tapenade would be for me as I am not an olive fan but I have to say that it was probably my favorite part of the sandwich. The sandwiches come with a choice of veggies or chips. I opted for the chips but my lunch companions who chose veggies seemed to enjoy their veggies. All of us enjoyed our lunch very much.
As this was a Saturday and there were quite a few patrons in the restaurant and we were a table of 8, the service was excellent. Kudos to our server!
This is a lunch spot I would definitely return to and quite possibly for dinner as well. The intimacy is excellent for a date night as each table seems to give the privacy dining parties look for when dining and quite often smaller restaurants (i.e. bistros) do not offer this luxury.
The prices are moderate for the quality of the food and the service provided.
