Difficult to express the quality of food and the warmth of the Cotto 88 family without experiencing it first-hand. If you miss italian food and the culture I totally recommend 5/5 it tastes like home!

Food was fantastic. Service was splendid. The place was popping. No complaints. The two pizzas were a bit late and so they took them off the bill. I'd highly recommend this place.

We love them. Shocking to see their last review as we have been going there since they opened almost 8 years ago. And we go there few times a week!!!! Truly amazing food but what we love the most is that whole family Italian kitchen atmosphere. Antonella is nothing but welcoming and regardless of her personal health struggles you are always greeted with a smile and awesome conversation. You would never know what this remarkable woman has been through. Gino is a super star and so is papa chef !! Truly a family kitchen run by an amazing family. Sad to see how some people will take that the wrong way...not to mentioned food is “always” great. I encourage everyone to try them as their last review is truly uncharacteristic of who are. Hope this one bad review doesn't stop you from trying this lovely family place which are rare to find. BTW for dog owners patio is pet friendly with lots of love.

My wife and I have made Cotto our favourite Italian restaurant. We do not live close but it’s worth the drive. We were there last weekend and for one of the first times we ordered off the menu. Normally there we always order off the special board. We had the meat platter and now can’t wait to try the seafood platter. I would recommend Cotto for any one to try, the owners and staff are all great and atmosphere perfect. Marsh family

10 out of 10! 100% would eat here again! The food was cooked to perfection, the staff were super friendly and the overall atmosphere was cute and cozy. Felt like we were all family here. We had my cousin's 50th birthday party here yesterday and it was fabulous could not have asked for any better!! Thank you so much for making her Day Perfect! The food was fresh, cheese and meat platters were great! Calamari, shrimp, beef, lamb, veggies and pasta etc were delicious we will definitely be returning!! They also had a gentleman sing some great songs Thank you so much for a wonderful evening!!

Decided to go try this place based on a friend's recommendation. I don't like giving reviews when I do takeout but staff was very welcoming. Service was great and the pizza was fantastic. I thought it would be a Wood-Fired oven, but the deck oven produces a good pizza as well worth the try

Had lunch there today and the food was amazing!! Service was also amazing!! Have no clue why some of the idiots posted negative reviews especially around the Lady owner hovering. LIES!!!! ALL LIES!!! She is the one reason (besides the amazing pizza) I would go back there. Never have i felt so welcome. All you haters posting those negative reviews - Get a life !!
