I had a wonderful experience here in the terminal C area while on a two hour layover. The salmon was superb and the staff, so friendly and professional. I recommend any salad based on how excellent my salad with salmon tasted. It is clear that as a new restaurant following renovation of the C terminal, the staff really care about the customer experience. I definitely recommend this restaurant during your pass through La guardia airport in nYc. I had a wonderful dining experience at Cotto today.
Highly recommended. We ordered the avocado toast and khachapuri. Both were freshly made, beautifully presented and very tasty. The ordering system via QR code was efficient and easy to navigate. Food is brought to your table. Vanessa took good care of us! She was friendly, attentive and even packed some coffee to go at the end of the meal. For an airport restaurant, this one really delivers! They have a well-stocked bar that looks great, though we didn't indulge. The manager, Marlene, was also so helpful and engaging to speak with. *****
Abhay was a great server. The steak sandwich was dry and over cooked. Expensive for a not so great sandwich. They need to ask how you want it cooked. No one I know likes well done.
Very impressive for airport food. As a frequent traveler, this did not feel like airport food. Prices are similar to any airport, and after leaving NYC, are similar to restaurants we visited on this trip. I hope more airports will begin to achieve this level of food and service.
Very accommodating. Got here early before my flight for a drink. It ended up getting delayed and so I had more time to try the food as well. The menu has a large variety of food, drink and also has dessert options. The bar also has charging ports. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The chocolate molten lava cake was really good!
It’s such a pleasant surprise to find a restaurant like this at the airport. Since there’s only one staff member, you might need to look for them for a bit, but they’re very patient and attentive. We ordered a pizza that wasn’t on the menu, but after some discussion, the chef kindly made it for us—much appreciated! Oh, and their fries are fresh and delicious too.
The best omelettes (Parisian and Build-Your Own) I've ever had- came for both my incoming and outgoing connections. Very friendly staff, clean and welcoming space, and have outlets at the bar! Only downside is it is a little pricey.
The food and service is amazing! Perfect place to relax, eat, drink before your flight. Thurman made great recommendations and was awesome
