Cotto

This place has a very nice ambience and seating outside! The service is super sweet and does everything to make you feel welcome. The place is very aesthetically pleasing too. The food that we ordered was alright and simple, nothing special. The food on the menu sounds very interesting and unique such as the fermented fries, so you expect something interesting to try. Once we got it, it tasted like simple fries. I definitely had better and cheaper italian food. The elderflower spritz was okay but tasted a bit watery, it would’ve been nice to have more flavor to it. Lastly, the bill had expensive drinks that we did not order. But it happens! The service was super kind, nothing to complain about.

Came here with friends for dinner. Ambience was good. The lamb was perfectly cooked and yum! That was the star of the night for sure! The food is kind of overrated in my opinion coz I feel like I have eaten way better Italian food, but nevertheless it was good! We had to share our table with few other people and to my surprise it was quite noisy the day we went. The staff are great, super friendly and very accommodating. We needed wheelchair access and they made sure our need was well taken care of! :

Authentic Italian cuisine with small, shareable plates. Although small in portion, each dish was quite rich in flavour so it didn't take much to fill up. Service was great. The restaurant was a bit too dimly lit so needed some flash cameras out to see what we were eating. The dishes were beautifully plated so a bit brighter lighting would've been ideal.

Very tasty meal thank you - very rich, interesting flavours. Great service - polite and attentive. Nice and warm sitting on the balcony. We left with very happy bellies :

Awesome restaurant, atmosphere and service. This was topped off by brilliant tasting food. Very attentive staff made the experience awesome. You almost forget you on K Road when you're inside. Only negative would be its a little noisy but if you sit outside you can stay away from the noise and social network ladies taking pictures for insta Vegetarian options: Italian food so plenty of veggie options

A little slice of New York-Italian in Auckland. Best Italian food in Auckland I've ever had. Everything tasted delicious, and in a cosy little spot on K Road. Definitely recommend coming here if you are a lover of Italian food! Service is good, and left very satisfied meal wise and overall experience.Food: 5/5

Great food and the service was fast. It is also surprising for how affordable the menu is seeing as how everything tastes so good. Too good to be true! The cauliflower is one of my favourite on the menu, so flavourful!Recommended dishesBurrata Salad, Gnocchi, Panna Cotta, Feta Fries

Great food, soothing ambience. We walked in on a Wednesday night, had tables available. We were seated outside and it was beautiful. Ordered dumplings, which was brilliant along with the pork belly. For mains, we had tortellini, gnocchi, the lamb ragu. The winner being the tortellini and the Lamb shank Raghu. Totally worth it. To top this all off, the service was on point. Thank you!

Delicious pasta and very affordable given the portion. The lamb ragu was absolutely gorgeous. Enjoyed it to the last bite. Good service and nice vibes as well. Perfect spot for an Italian dinner!

We love this place! Sometimes a little tricky to get a table as a couple but well worth the effort. Beautiful food, wonderful service and a great buzzy atmosphere!
