• Italian • Waterloo
Booked 14 times today
Since the Romans left, the Italians have been operating a policy of conquering the world's palate, plate by plate, and traditionally-run family restaurants like Cotto are their failsafe. The welcome is unfailingly warm here, the decor is authentic in feel, with murals on the walls, and the pleasures of the table are taken seriously indeed. Cotto is a 5-minute walk from the London Eye and the Aquarium, perfect for before or after family outings and it's also very popular with business customers during the week. There's live music on offer, too. As for the menu, try classic Tricolor salad to start, one of more than a dozen pastas, like Spaghetti carbonara, and a main course of simply and beautifully grilled Sirloin steak. Or just opt for a pizza and be happy!

    We were looking for a nice Italian place for our anniversary, and this was 250ft from our hotel! The food was wonderful, the servings were generous. I had linguine with clams, the lasagne was also great. Prosciutto and melon was a great starter as well as the octopus. There house red wine was delicious. The only concern was that it is a tiny space, and when we first arrived it was very noisy in there. Each party that left seemed to bring the noise level down.

    The food was delicious, as usual, but why do you ask if the booking is for a special occasion? I booked on-line and said the lunch would be a birthday treat, so I was expecting some sort of acknowledgement, but none was forthcoming, so that was a little disappointing!
