Genuinely Italian, run casually & modestly but also skillfully by an Italian gentleman. Only the tomato sauce (perhps industrial) could be better prepared. Must go when you're around & have been fed up with pizzaxxxxss type of fake Italian pizzas&dishes.

Excellent range for gluten intolerance. 'Hidden' Charge for bread and olives but wasn't suprised. Staff really friendly. Food is pleasant enough but would probably only go again if with people with allergies.

Cotta serves homemade and fantastic Italian food and they have a nice and friendly staff. It was a bit noisy, but anyway, a nice experience. We would like to come back.

Da buoni Italiani abbiamo apprezzato molto la cucina nostrana anche a Londra. Nota particolare per i piatti senza glutine, particolarmente apprezzati da Lavinia. Ci ritorneremo per la pizza.Giovanni Roma

Very good service however quality of food didn't meet our expectations. Plastic like polipo affogato in a heated shop bought tomato puree, and a £19 sward fish that lacked flavour. The pizza with homemade sausage was nice, not the best mozzarella but nice spicy and fenneley sausages. Great atmosphere and location.

We went to Cotto on March 11, 2016. We were visiting from the US and hosting English relatives. My son has cealic disease and Cotto handled GF food better than any place I've ever been. My son loved it and it was a highlight of our trip. Food, both gf and non-gf was great and service was fantastic.

It's a nice place, and the staff is very welcoming. Their pizzas are great! The wild mushroom risotto was a bit bland for me though, but it might just be due to my hungarian taste buds. :) )

We were placed in the entrance which was very noisy, we asked to be moved and though the waiter was accomodating, the manager seemed to be annoyed. Apart from this the food was very good and the service okay. I am a celiac, so was pleased to have so many choices. Will go again,

By far the best Italian food in London, true home cooking and to make it even better, most of the menu can be altered to gluten free, accommodating those with Celiac disease or an intolerance. I have been several times now, each occasion with a different friend and they have all enjoyed it just as much as I have. It is so reassuring to have a safe place to eat when going out for dinner with friends and not subject them to a dietary menu that suits me. I will of course be back again soon :)

Cotto is a friendly authentic Italian, very convenient for supper after a performance at the Old Vic. We saw High Society and dined at 6 and the restaurant was already bustling with a very nice atmosphere.

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.

We have been to Cotto several times before and really love the fact that our son, who has coeliac disease, can order anything he likes from the menu safe in the knowledge that it will be completely gluten free. The service is excellent and the food is always delicious. We'll definitely be back.
