Cossetta's is the megamall of fast, but delicious, Italian food. When you enter there is a small but comprehensive market off to your right where you can stock up on imported meats, cheeses and specialty foods in case you want to do it yourself, but why bother? Take a left instead and stand in the caféteria-style line, listen to the mellow strains of Frank Sinatra and ponder over your order. We gravitate toward the hot Italian beef, a roast beef sandwich served on a hard Italian roll, dipped in au jus and topped with giardinara, a hot, vinegary mixture of peppers and vegetables. If you can stand to pass over hot entrées such as the chicken cacciatore and veal Parmigiano, you are instantly rewarded with racks of steaming New York-style pizza. There is nothing special about the toppings (Chèvre is not spoken here) but single, mammoth slice of cheese is enough for most appetites.
