June 19, 2019

Cosi Inc. has expanded its presence in The Constitution State. In addition to having locations in West Harford, Stamford and Avon, Cosi is now open in Hartford. 

"We are very excited to bring Cosi back to downtown Hartford," Vinnie DiNatale, director of marketing, said in the release. "There are a lot of Cosi fans in the area, including many close by who visit our West Hartford restaurant and have asked us to open a second location. City Place was the perfect opportunity."

The 3,700-square-foot location,185 Asylum St., Ste. 102, features a glass window wall surrounding the dining area. Inside are grey walls with dark marble along the kitchen, grey tile floors, and red and black accents throughout. With track and recessed lighting, the space also features tan wooden chairs with seating for 44. Wall art depicts Cosi’s original Paris locale, which opened in 1989, according to the release.

The Hartford opening coincides with the launch of Cosi’s summer menu featuring the Chicken Bruschetta Sandwich, Summer Spinach Salad, Honolulu Bowl and Blueberry Smash. 

Based on the original Cosi restaurant still operating in Paris. Cosi has 49 company-owned and 17 franchise restaurants, operating in 11 states, the District of Columbia and Costa Rica.
