Cocozza

Best Italian in the city. Really friendly service and food was fantastic. It has a beautiful cozy atmosphere highly recommend.

I want to share my experience from a recent visit to a restaurant. First of all, the atmosphere was great, and our server, Brooke, was friendly and helpful. She recommended some delicious drinks and appetizers, and we really enjoyed the calamari, garlic bread, and the drink "Hugo." The calamari was perfectly cooked with a crispy exterior and a chewy interior, and the garlic bread was warm, cheesy, and full of flavor. The drink "Hugo" was refreshing and well-balanced.However, while my friends enjoyed their meals (spaghetti and meatballs, salmon oreganato, and lasagna), I was disappointed with my choice of chicken piccata. Although the chicken was tender, it lacked seasoning, and the lemon sauce was overpowering. The portion was generous, but the dish lacked flavor overall.Despite this, I would still consider returning to try a different dish, but I would advise skipping the chicken piccata.Lastly, dessert! Lemon cheesecake! Get it!!!!

I had the Salmon and it was fantastic!!! I used to go to the island fav "Pizza & a Movie" that was here previously and even though some people things reminded of the place, it's been totally upgraded with a festive fun vibe. I wish the seating was a little better but I'll look past that as long as the food & service remains great.

Brooke was the epitome of top-notch customer service and care! She was attentive and such a shining point to our evening. The drinks were fantastic and the food was great.

Am I in Italy rn? Sure feels like it! Such a great spot with fresh pasta. Their restaurant is put together so nicely and the food is fantastic. Serving sizes are generous and you'll always leave with leftovers. Great spot for a dinner outside!

I got the chicken parm which was delicious!! The sauce was a little sweet but good! The calamari was chewy and light crispy not a fan but still tasty. The service was good. Bartender was friendly. Not a big space but luckily it was a seat open at the bar.

All I can say is FANTASTIC food and FANTASTIC service. Our server Brooke was the best..pleasant, friendly, extremely helpful, efficient, just THE BEST. We are coming back tomorrow ..all 4 of us in our party felt the same. Ambiance terrific as well.Best antipasto we have ever had (we are all 77 and been to Italy and loads of Italian restaurants. Also the creamiest and best cannelloni we have ever had. Vodka spritzer were unique and delicious. Main dish we had were veal parmessian and chicken picata. Can't say enough good about this restaurant highly recommended by our Air bnb host as well. Oh..almost forgot, the eggplant fries were so crispy and tasty.

We were staying in the neighborhood and decided to finally try some of the local places. I mean who doesn't love a neighborhood pasta restaurant.And the verdict: not too shabby. We had several varieties and they were all at least decent. Also had a couple of cocktails which were, similarly, quite decent.Overall, a very decent, tasty neighborhood spot. If you're in the area, definitely give them a try.

My girlfriends decided to spend our ladies' night at Cocozza for Downtown Dining Week. One friend ordered an antipasto appetizer to get us started and the flavors were very tasty as they ranged from salty to spicy. The appetizer that was part of the prix fixe menu had a nice warm sauce and tangy flavors with an ample amount of mushrooms and sausage. I was impressed by the presentation of the eggplant rollatini and even more so about the texture and filling. The pumpkin cannoli was a great way to tie together the whole meal. The cream filling was just the right balance of sweet to pair with the pastry. Additionally, the lemon spritzer was refreshing and effervescent with the right combination of punch and tang. The service was good and we never had to wait long to have a need met.

Great food, service,& ambience!!The meatballs are wonderful. I can't wait until it warms up- so we can enjoy outside dining.
