MGM SPRINGFIELD TO WELCOME CASUAL ITALIAN RESTAURANT COSTA

MGM Springfield will welcome Costa, a classic Italian restaurant serving housemade charcuterie, pizzas, pastas, salads, desserts and more to the resort’s food and beverage portfolio on Feb. 28. The concept will celebrate the spirit of time-honored craftsmanship and tradition with an epicurean adventure that derives inspiration from the culinary landscape of Italy.

This will be Costa’s third outpost, having debuted as Osteria Costa at The Mirage Las Vegas and MGM National Harbor in 2018. Costa at MGM Springfield will be similar to its sister restaurants with first-class service standards and a relaxed ambiance yet will offer exclusive menu items inspired by the tastes and fare of the region. Costa will be located in the Cal Mare space, which will close Feb. 24.

Highlights of Costa’s menu include:

SAVOR

An Italian paradise awaits with a diverse selection of antipasti, handcrafted pastas, Neapolitan pizzas, hearty entrees, grilled seafood and more. Adding to the authentic Italian dining experience, fresh mozzarella will be created from scratch daily with seasonal accompaniments such as marinated peppers, eggplant caponata and basil pesto.

Expertly prepared in the restaurant’s hearth oven, the Neapolitan style pizza will be baked with a variety of toppings including flavorful meats and seafood. Chicken Parmigiana – a chicken parm lover’s dream – is made with free-range organic chicken and topped with pomodoro, mozzarella and basil. A seaside favorite and signature restaurant dish, the Linguine & Clams is made with garlic, chiles and lemon.
