"If the last “team bonding” exercise ended with tears in a cursed escape room, gently suggest Cotogna as the next outing. The Italian restaurant in Jackson Square serves phenomenal pastas and pizzas, both in their brick-filled dining room and outside on an Architectural Digest-worthy parklet complete with olive trees, ornamental dried veggies, and blankets. And since this is likely an expensed meal, get everyone their own $32 raviolo to avoid any more crying: the pasta pocket is filled with ricotta and a gooey egg yolk the color of poppies, all soaking in a brown butter sauce you’ll want to drizzle on everything." - ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1, patrick wong
