Italian Cotto

Was moving my daughter into her new flat up the road and booked Cotto as somewhere convenient with good reviews. When we arrived, the owner and staff could not have been more friendly and we enjoyed a great evening. Starters of octopus and sardines were very good, mains of pizzas also. Went for a bottle of Vermentino at £30 which was perfect. Would gladly pay £10-15 for this at Majestic/wherever, so the mark-up was very reasonable. All in all a great little Italian and next time I'm up in London to see my daughter, we will definitely visit again.

Tutto ok, buon cibo. Locale di tipo familiare. Da tornarci

Owner and staff were amazing! The food was even better! Highly recommend.

The host and the place are adorable, rustic Italian, and the gluten free food amazing.

Visited this restaurant after a colleague recommended it. Was a little disappointed as I thought it would be good italian food but was pretty standard really.

Fantastic ! The owner was really friendly and attentive to our needs (my sister is coeliac ). Thanks so much, will definitely return !

Great friendly and speedy service, amazing food choices for coeliacs, we will definitely be visiting again!

We found a fingernail in our food and the management did not handle the situation well. We will not be going back.

Wonderful! So many gluten free option, the service was outstanding.

Real italian place. Very good food. Service was just ok.

It was great ❤️💖💕💕💖💖💖💖❤️ ❤️ 💕 💕 ❤️ ❤️ 💕

Amazing atmosphere, great service and proper tasty Italian food. Thank you Lino and the staff for helping me having a great time with my colleagues! Lucia

The restaurant is perfect, good food and good price! Thank you

A great family run restaurant. Fantastic food and fantastic service. A good range of home made pasta. A great range of gluten free meals. I will definitely go there again.

small and very busy but really good for coeliacs,most of the menu can be cooked gluten free. restaurant is run by coeliacs so they understand our needs.

Pesto bought in the supermarket for sure. We were seeing all desert which were taking out from the frizer. They only add chocolate or caramel on the top to create a "home made". They are all italians but it is not Italian food at all.

My second visit to this warm friendly unassuming family run establishment. Prompt service, attentive waiting staff and Italian food of the highest standards at realistic prices.

Warm and welcoming atmosphere. Lovely food and very good for people who need to follow a gluten free diet. Can recommend the gluten free lasagna.

Un 10.. porque no hay mas puntuacion..me he quedado con ganas de volver..pena que lo encontramos el ultimo dia..servicio..local y comida excelente..el personal habla español..local familiar..y lo mejor y que nunca he encontrado en ningun otro restaurante..la carta practicamente toda para celiacos..bomba!! 100% segura..el dueño es celiaco hace 30 años..no se puede pedir mas..evidentemente no es barato..pero lo vale..tampoco es nada caro..pues todo es bueno..comida..personal y un local acogedor..en el centro de londres..si vuelvo..repito..mis hijas han flipado..nuncalas vi tan felices de poder comer tanta variedad.

Good food but service from the man at the entrance and two of the waiters was very short and rude, we couldn’t wait to get the bill and leave at the end. Such a shame as it could be so lovely.

The restaurant is located close to our hotel which makes it very convenient. The food was outstanding and the ambiance reminded me if I was in Italy. Looking forward to going back. The father is such a hospitable man! Love his presence.

Cosy traditional restaurant with a larger-than-life proprietor. The food is good, but what makes it exceptional is the huge choice of gluten-free options - almost every thing on the menu has a GF alternative.

Good atmosphere, nice foods. Right in front of the tube station. All foods can be served gluten free if you have an allergy. A bit small but I will visit them again :-)

Cotto - Excellent authentic Italian restaurant located near Lambeth North Station and a short walk from Waterloo Station. Extensive menu and wine list. Good portion sizes and excellent service.

Lovely little restaurant, nice owner, great food and nearly the entire menu can be gluten free! This is definitely the place to go! Outstanding! We will definitely return. Thanks for a lovely meal. Aimee & Sophie

Very warm greeting, excellent service and the food was delicious. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area. Give it a go!

Being coeliac, I am always worried about eating out, but Cotto came highly recommended and it didn’t disappoint. I had the olives to start and they were the nicest olives I have ever had (I’m not usually a fan). I had pizza for my main and it was lovely. Highly recommended by me!

This was a fabulous restaurant - very friendly and delicious food. There are lots of gluten free options which is ideal for any coeliacs. Grazie!

Good honest Italian cuisine! Friendly service, great staff. The owner is around, oversees everything and keep an eye on everything going smoothly. All this for very fair prices.

Dined here last night - Excellent gluten free menu all pastas pizza and sauces were delicious. A very friendly owner and staff made it a lovely experience for our first time in London. We will definitely return!!

Per essere all’estero è un buon ristorante Italiano, il suo proprietario e lo staff molto cordiali e disponibili ... ci torniamo sempre quando siamo a Londra

The bonus for me is feeling I can get a reliable gluten free meal in Coto at Waterloo. While the rest of the family can get none GF if they want.

Great experience for a celiac customer. Owner came to greet us and reassure us about safety of the gluten free menu. Price was good. Thank you!!

Amazing best place ever, Lino is a magician. Gluten free and people with no allergies will be extremely happy. Sauce is just like my moms from Napoli. Everything was great.

Loved this place 5 years ago and love it still today. Can’t wait for my next trip to London for this reason! GF bread and GF homemade pasta. Hard to beat!

Staff were great very clued up of cealiac and being gluten free etc. Small restaurant and busy, our table was by the door which meant lots of people coming and going, when groups of 4 or more came in or went out they were very close to our table/crowding over where we sat which is the only bad thing I have to say...but as restaurant small no real way of getting around that! Food lovely!

The staff were so lovely and accommodating. As someone who suffers from coeliac, the food was great - they even had fresh warm bread I could eat! What a great find.

Our first dinner in London. great experience both as food and as courtesy and availability of staff. Absolutely to try. very careful also to gluten free

Food wasn’t bad. Service was too intense. Felt guilty that I had a food intolerance. Wouldn’t recommend the atmosphere to others unfortunately. Main waiter was issue.

Quantity beets quality . To much oil no italian style Pizza. Friendly owner. X x x x x x x x x x x x x

Excellent gluten-free range. Not bad prices and friendly service... shame about the Tesco tiramisu pudding. Go for the main course and ambience, and you will not be disappointed!

It is a very nice italian restaurant. Everyone is friendly and the food is good. Many gluten free options and vegetarian options are also on the menu.

A beautiful place where the food is fantastic and even gluten free. We would like return on Sunday but it was closed. We will return.

Lovely find. Great food & service. Even better for my friend who is celiac & really enjoyed her gluten-free pizza. First one she’s had in a long time.

Great service and delicious food as always ! Never disappoints :) Love the homely and cosy vibe there and will defo be back again :)

Nice environment, quiet and clean. Amazing selection of italian food including the gluten free option. Staff very pleasant and nice. Will come back for sure! Thanks

Mukava hotelli lähellä metroasemaa ja lyhyen kävelymatkan päässä Novotel hotellista. Ruoka oli ihan ok, tosin annoskoko olisi voinut olla isompikin. Henkilökunta oli erittäin ystävällistä ja ruoka tuli melko mopeasti tilauksesta.

I have been to the restaurant on a number of occasions by myself. The staff are very helpful, the owner always says hello. They also make good recommendations for different things to try

My partner is gluten free and this is by far the best restaurant he has visited. The range was fantastic and the staff were very conscientious in making sure that his needs were met. The staff were all very friendly and the food was very tasty.

Genuinely gutted. Had read about this place and was so excited to be having authentic gluten free Italian. My main course took 50 minutes to arrive, and I had theatre tickets. Meaning I inhaled what I could in less than 4 minutes. I watched the people sat in front of me and behind me get served their meals, finish them and leave. I watched every table in the restaurant other than mine get served their meals. I truly believed I was going to have a great meal, become a regular customer and recommend to my GF friends, but instead I have a bitter taste in my mouth from £35 spent on what should have been a treat to myself (I consider that a lot of money to spend when dining alone)
