Cozze is our Italian mussel plate, and it is one of the most satisfying ways to start a meal at our Sherwood Park bistro. Fresh mussels are steamed in an aromatic broth built on garlic, white wine and tomato until they open, then brought to the table with bread so nothing goes to waste. It is coastal Italian cooking, unfussy and full of flavour.
Mussels reward simplicity. We steam them quickly so they stay plump, and the broth does the heavy lifting: garlic softened in olive oil, white wine reduced just enough, and tomato for body and colour. Everything happens in one pan, which is why the sauce tastes of the mussels themselves rather than of a separate recipe.
Order it as a shared starter before pasta or a main, or make it a light meal with a salad and a glass of white. It is a favourite among guests who come to our Baseline Road dining room looking for Italian seafood without a heavy or overworked plate, and it is one of the dishes that keeps our regulars ordering across the whole menu.

"Hidden gem in Sherwood Park. Cozy room, great Italian comfort food, and consistently good service. We especially enjoy the salads and seafood dishes, and have ordered takeout several times with the same quality."
