Great food with great prices. They are offering several delicious meals for lunch for $6.95. Me and my family eat there often and we never have any complaints. I would recommend to Costa's to anyone who loved Italian and Greek food. Blair

The food is very greasy, If you get it to go you better put a towel in your car to catch all the grease. I've dine-in once and the inside needs to be up dated and cleaned, it was nasty.

The Med cafe was a new one for me. I tried some foods I had never tasted b4. It was a wonderful time for me and my wife. The food had flavors that i had never had and i loved it.

I feel qualified to disagree with the poor rating given by one reviewer who seemed to mostly have a problem with the fact that smokers are allowed in the restaurant. I attended a dinner party where the food was catered by Costas and, had the reviewer bothered to stay to taste the food, they would have enjoyed a wonderful and authentic meal. Being an Italian from the Northeast where great Italian restaurants are a dime a dozen, but not so prevalent in Alabama, I was delighted to discover Costa's. Might I suggest to the reviewer that they give it another try....maybe take-out, where you can enjoy the scrumptious meal in your smoke-free home.

The carry out is great when you are trying to feed 3 growing boys. We love the bread and blue cheese.

My family loves Costa's. It's casual enough to bring the whole family, yet nice enough to take a client or date. The menu has something for everyone. And if you like Greek appetizers you definitely need to try the spanikopita.

A friend introduced me to this place and I loved it. I am glad I took her up on her offer to eat at this place. It was wonderful and now I am inviting you to try it I know you would love it as much as I do.

Great Mediteranina food, great service, great atmosphere, easy access, free parking, and reasonable prices. Costa's has it all, and is definitely one of Birmingham's best restaurants.

This is one of our favorite places to eat. Costas has great food large protions and I have never had a complaint except we have to wait almost everytime we go. The portions are huge and if you can eat the whole meal you have accomplished soemthing. They have backed spaghetti and you must try this dish. The salads are wonderfull and come with the meal. This is a must try restraunt for the Italian food lover.

I had a horrible time at this restaurant. Working in the restaurant industry, I know what service is and how customers should be treated. One night, while having dinner with my mother and her friends here, I ordered the manicotti. How can you mess up manicotti?? I recieved the dish, and it was no good. It was entirely too greasy, the shells were overcooked, and tastes very bland. I asked our bumbling, dopey server if I could simply order something else in its place, so he said he would talk to the manager. On coming back to the table, he informed me that it would be impossible as their "food is not bad." But he would be happy to send her over. I was astonished and simply said forget it and walked out. Crappy servers, service, food, and management.

The restaurant is consistant in food quality, service, and atmosphere. The staff is friendly always and familiar. The owner is dedicated to her art, and knows her customer. Food is always hot and fresh , and my family is never disappointed. This is our favorite choice to bring new friends and family on special occasions. My favorite is the moussaka, and lasagna. Salad choice is the greek with house dressing and feta. My husband loves the salmon salad with any dressing. The dressings are homemade and the sauces are homemade. I asked at Christmas to buy the house dressing and one waitress made me my own batch for home! I highly recommend this restaurant anytime, lunch too!!

Not being an Alabama native I am not familiar with certain family names or places, but let me tell you I do know good food when I eat it. My family loves this place. Collectively we have tried everything on the menu. Their food is hot and delicious.Their homemade salad dressings are wonderful. My teenager(who usually lives on pizza and burgers)inhales the lasagna. This is a wonderful place for your family, a date, or business luncheon.
