Ce resto sont super cosy.
The subject 'Ce resto' is singular, so the verb must be singular 'est', not plural 'sont'.

Cultural Tip
The word 'resto' is informal and widely used among younger French speakers and on social media. 'Cosy' (or 'cozy' in English) has been adopted into French slang to describe a snug, welcoming setting, especially in cafés, bistros, and boutique restaurants. In more formal contexts you might prefer 'confortable' or 'chaleureux'.
