Coco's Italian Market

If you've been to Italy you know what a true small Italian Resturant looks like inside and Coco's is a cute blend of that local Italian feeling. The market is worth a stop all by itself. The desserts looked fabulous. Was able to walk right in for dinner on a Friday night. Appropriately priced. True Italian service down to the server disappearing for a little while but hey we all need a little break in our work day.

That was perfect. I love your food, and I love your service. I love everything what you have. It's perfect for me and it's perfect for everyone. I had the fried cheese squares, and cheese ravioli! Then I had a cannoli and the Oreo cheesecake. I recommend eating at this restaurant.Thank you.

Coco's Italian Market is an authentic place for Italian cuisine in Nashville! The space is inside is part restaurant and part market, which is unconventional, but I liked the layout. The servers were very attentive as well. I ordered the Fettuccine Pollo Pesto and Cannoli. I really liked the creamy pesto sauce, especially with the bread! It was a great combination together. But I think it was a bit too saucy and I would have preferred a bit more pasta to balance everything out. I thought the Cannoli was tasty, albeit a bit smaller than I expected.

Coco's has been around for a long time, a relic of Nashville's yesteryear with its origins dating back to 1964. I admire their family tradition, their ability to import authentic Italian goods, and especially surviving a pandemic. The Italian spirit is alive and well in their deli, their bocce ball court, their Italian soccer jerseys. The Cinelli family is dedicated to celebrating Italian culture in every way.I'll give the market four stars. But this review is more about the restaurant experience. The problem is that the quality clearly evident in the market and deli don't translate to the dishes being served in the spacious dining room. Having eaten a considerable amount of authentic food in Italy, and some exceptional Italian American cuisine in the Northeastern United States, I have pretty high standards, perhaps unfairly so. And while Coco's has faithfully served the Nashville community for decades and I'll continue shopping at their market, the restaurant simply doesn't meet my expectations.The baked ziti tastes like someone bought it at Publix and heated it up in a microwave. The marinara I make at home is far better (and very affordable to make). The ravioli and the pizza have the same lackluster outcome. The contrast between the menu and the deli is quite stark. The service wasn't even good. And every Nashvillian knows that while our city's southern food, donuts, hamburgers, and tacos are legendary, Italian cuisine is a major weakness on our culinary scene. And if Coco's can't pull it off, that's pretty disheartening.

We are Nashville locals & wanted to try out an authentic italian meal but unfortunately we were disappointed with our visits to Coco's. We shared the caesar salad but found it bland with limp lettuce. The cheese raviolis were good for what they were. The pasta dish was heavily sauced with not much flavor. Overall, we were dissatisfied with the food but the restaurant itself has a great shop with fresh produce for charcuterie boards to buy from!

Diner atmosphere with worn menus; service is slow. The food is good, the portions are large, including the Bolognese, try adding shrimp and opting for Bucatini. There is an attached store, the desserts are plentiful, fresh and good. We particularly enjoyed the cannoli. The wine list is short and all from Italy.

Food was amazing, will be back. The feel of the restaurant is exactly what you'd expect. You will probably have leftovers. The meatball sliders were an amazing appetizer

Coco's is the ultimate Italian experience! From the food to the service, to the live accordion player. Everything was perfectly cooked and hot. My only complaint is that we sat at the bar and one of the waiters sloshed wet glass water onto our pizza on multiple occasions. Other than that the experience was memorable for sure. Definitely recommend but be sure to get here early! There is hardly an empty seat in the house.

The Italo-American dishes hit all the marks of comfort food.Everyone is super kind and help you..Eugenio, Italian from Italy greeted us with beautiful "Benvenuti"Ambiance is Italo-American at best in Nashville.

We stopped in to pick up cannolis and as the girl was boxing them up, we saw roaches crawling up the wall right above the food. Many other people also confirmed they saw them when they were there too.
