"Not good "

Before to order we've been ensured that the GF was as big as the normal one. We got a small pizza and also, the GF pizza was too crunchy (it seemed an overcooked biscuit more than a pizza). But we also ordered a calzone and was very very good. If you really want to go, DO NOT order GF stuff, you pay more for less.

Classic Italian restaurant with excellent gluten free menu. Not just one or two options but whole range of gf pasta, pizza, risotto, gnocchi etc. A find!

Cotto offers excellent Italian food and had a very wide choice for our celiac daughter. The gluten free menu is absolutely safe (our daughter is very sensitive).

Brilliant gluten free selection. Helpful and friendly staff. We had a large party of 12 and they got the food out efficiently. They were patient and pleasant whilst we waited for a couple of stragglers who were running late. The gluten free bread was lovely and the pizza bases were the best I've had.

Absolutely incredible experience for anyone with celiac or a real allergy to gluten proteins/wheat. Almost the entire extensive menu could be done gluten-free and everything tasted great. The owner has celiac disease and came around to personally speak with everyone ordering from the gluten-free menu. The wait staff was attentive and helpful.

The atmosphere was friendly and had an authentic Italian vibe. The pizza I chose was delicious. My girlfriend went for a gluten-free pizza which was wasn't quite as nice as the base was rather too thick. Overall, though, a very enjoyable place to eat.

Yum Italian food in a family run restaurant. Not always an amazing atmosphere but good food and wine, friendly service and, impressively, 9/10 dishes on the menu are avail gluten free inc the bread, pizza, pasta and tiramisu, at no extra cost!

This system of reservation is nice and simple. I got the restaurant on time and they had a table ready for us. It's really good that it's standardised, I hope more restaurants come to use this.

Dining at Cotto was a great experience when I visited for a date. We ordered a bottle of the house white because we both liked dry wine, but in truth it wasn't as light as I was hoping. The food was fantastic - the avocado, prawn, smoked salmon and salad starter we had was more than enough to share, and our mains were equally tasty. The decor was nice, the service was friendly, prices were very decent and the atmosphere was fine - it actually wasn't as busy as I thought it was going to be for a Friday night. It was really easy to find as well - only a quick walk away from Waterloo station (or a trip on the Bakerloo line if you're feeling lazy!). Overall, I'd definitely recommend this place.

Scary for Celiac's but great for everyone else. We visited this restaurant because of their expansive gluten free menu and the fact that it was our daughter's (who suffers from Celiac) 10th birthday. In reading reviews, I learned of one customer that had requested a gluten free meal and they received a regular meal resulting in sickness. Because of this previous review, we were very careful in ordering but still received a regular meal. We told the waiter two times at the table that we were requesting gluten free for my daughter. He didn't seem to acknowledge us so I went to him at the bar and told him again. He informed me that he had submitted a gluten free order for my daughter. He later delivered a meal with gluten which he didn't seem to have a clue about. He was not apologetic and really didn't seem to care. It may have been a language issue as his English wasn't the best. In any event, we didn't figure out the dish was gluten free until after he delivered it and we gave it a taste test. It was a pretty scary experience for my daughter. Despite all that, we all enjoyed our meals but you must be extremely vigilant if you are going to order gluten at this restaurant. By the way, the management didn't seem to care about the mistake either. I guess the bottom line is that there are so few good gluten free restaurants that we will have to give it a second try.

Gluten free pizza tasted good and liked the various toppings. However, the edge of pizza crust was very tough to chew therefore unedible. Staff standing outside by the restaurant main entrance door to smoke does not look attractive or inviting for others to come inside. Overall, enjoyed the experience but small areas needs improving..

Most of the meals and also the gluten free pizza was very good. I found the potatos and the sicilian cannolo no so fresh. Staff very kindly and atmosphere very familiar. One of the best gluten free restourant I have found.

I'd been to this restaurant before. I have coeliac disease and most of their menu can be made gluten free. The owner is coeliac so understands. We arrived about 10 mins before the evening opening hours but they invited us in and made us very welcome, even although the staff were still eating their meal. Highly recommend.

A fabulous, family-run Italian restaurant with very friendly and welcoming staff. Food is great and particularly so for coeliacs as the restaurant has one kitchen for non gluten-free food and a completely separate kitchen for gluten free food, so no risk of cross contamination. Whether gluten free or not though, this is a genuine Italian restaurant with delicious food.
