Cotto Belltown

We just stopped in for a quick drink after dinner, so this review is for the drinks only. I have to say, the food does look really great! Our server was super friendly and checked on us often. The service was great.However, two of us ordered a drink that clearly stated that the liquor was Four Roses. We watched the bartender pour a shot of Jim Beam. We decided to wait to see if the drink tasted OK before we said anything. It did taste fine so we didn't say anything at the time. It could have been an honest mistake, but that's really not cool when you are charging $14 a drink.

Such an amazing addition to Belltown :) fits right into the neighborhood foodie scene / family vibes. I always feel such a welcome friendly welcome coming in everyone takes the time to get to know the people who live in the neighborhood: humans AND our fur kids. The food is absolutely outstanding and such a fun treat! The happy hour is one of our favorite past times as a group!! Also love the team loves to try out new dishes too!! Brandon and amber plus team are such a fun group!!!

Stopped in for late night dinner after work with a friend and I was so impressed! The space is gorgeous and the holiday decorations were so pretty but not overdone. Service was perfect, attentive and fast. The number one thing for me was the food. I am honestly normally underwhelmed with Italian food (because I can make better at home) but this was so so incredibly good and made me want to come back and try the entire menu. We got the broccoli, the pappardelle and the bread. Sea Wolf bread is always delicious, the seared broccoli was insanely good & the pappardelle blew us away. Definitely want to try more of the pasta dishes in particular. Drinks were also good! I personally liked the al limone the best. I'll definitely be trying more cocktails and getting into the wine menu in the future. Extremely positive experience after a long day at work, which I also want to note, this spot is great if you work late because it closes at 11. I got off work at 9:30 and was still able to get a delicious dinner & drinks. I will absolutely be back.

SRW limited menu.What great little new Italian restaurant.4 of 5 stars because the starters and desserts were lack luster. But the pastas were delicious!Chop salad was soooo salty, I couldn't eat it but my husband finished it! The meatballs were actually quite tasty and reminded us of grandma's home cooked meatballs. Again, the last pasta was delicious. We all ordered à different kinds pesto , limone so refreshing and the brisket was good too!Dessert was different! We had the EVOO gelato, it was interesting. The chocolate gelato tasted like uncooked brownie mix, eek Our sever was sweet and attentive,Cheers!

A solid pasta place in Belltown. The restaurant is small and intimate and service here is l prompt. The pappardelle had a really satisfying chew and the sauce it came with was lucious and meaty--the only real knock against it was the price ($26). My party was still hungry after the main course so we ended up ordering a pizza; it was delicious and we were lucky it was happy hour prices because the pie was definitely worth it.

We came here in October late one night to drink. The service was terrific. All were treated in such a professional and friendly manner, whether regulars newcomers, like we were from out of town. It's also a really good looking place; the furniture and furnishings make it homey and comfortable as well as fashionable.

My husband and I stopped by on a Saturday night. We did a last minute reservation online and the place was full without any people waiting. The ambiance was cute but the restaurant was a little chilly. We opted for the seared broccoli ($13) appetizer based on recommendations online. The Calabrian chili aioli was delicious but the broccoli itself was inconsistently charred and overly salty. I would skip this the next time. We also had the pappardelle ($26), which was my favorite dish of the night. The ragu was flavorful with soft, braised pork pieces over springy fresh pasta. The portion was on the smaller side and I don't think I would have been full if that was all I ate. We also shared the funghi pizza ($22), which had a significantly larger portion. The mushrooms could have been more flavorful and I wish the pizza overall had something binding it together since the toppings kept slipping off. They're extremely generous with the toppings and I really liked the onions on top! My husband loved the crust, which was fluffy but I wish the crust was thicker. Overall, a really solid Italian restaurant that I would come back for if ever craving pizza and pasta.

Food - the pasta was really amazing. I'd come back for pasta here any time. My partner had the gemelli and I had the mafaldine. The drinks (aperol spritz and twilight in Parma) were good but not too standout for me. We also had the burrata and the focaccia which were good too. We had gelato too - chocolate for him and olive oil fennel pollen for me. Very tasty! Service - very attentive and kind. The (owner?) actually came over and brought me out a whole new pasta on the house because he said my portion was too small. I didn't really realize but I appreciated that very much! Ambiance - very cute and romantic vibes. There are a bunch of candle lit tables and it's got a cozy vibe. Great for date night!

I've been here twice and finally feel like I've got enough to leave a review. Overall, this place is good but not great. Would return again but wouldn't list it as a favorite. Good:-The bruschetta appetizer and tiramusa dessert are both amazing! -Decent wine and drink list. Something for everyone but not so big that it is overwhelming. -Location is right in the heart of Belltown and easy to find. Bad-The pasta was overcooked and I felt the rigatoni with sausage and peppers may be better as a gnocchi?-The place is small and both times I've been sat by a big, loud group. Impossible to avoid in a venue of this size. -Cold air comes rushing in through the front door if you're seated nearby. I feel like a grandma saying that, but it did catch my attention while trying to relax and enjoy a warm meal.

My girlfriend and I had just gotten in to Seattle on a Tuesday night. Many restaurants closed by 8pm but we happened upon this gem here in Yelp. Service was great. Got to meet the owner Brandon and he took time to speak with us and share that this is his second restaurant. It's been open for about 6 months and he wanted our feedback on the food and the restaurant as a whole.We ordered the pappadelle and gemelli. Both dishes were immaculate. The pappadelle were perfect thin ribbons. And the flavor of the brisket in the gemelli was so delicious. Would order both again.Ambiance is trendy and great for a date night. Brandon was gracious enough to serve us some gelato on the house as well. Not something I personally would order but was pleasantly surprised with how delicious it was.Brandon also connected me with his friend at the cocktail bar Canon - who took great care of us. Thank you Brandon! Would come back to this restaurant again next time I'm in Seattle.
