    Been eating here for years. Really good food with a large menu that's also not overwhelming. Everything from their sandwiches, pasta, and pizza is fantastic. Highly recommended for a nice meal

    Highly highly recommend! I came here for lunch with a friend and was very happy with my experience. My only regret is that I did not have room for dessert! Lol. I enjoyed the extensive wine menu (there was a sign that said half price bottles on Wednesday FYI!!!). The bruschetta was phenomenal! It’s made with rosemary focaccia and is a masterful blend of flavors! I very much enjoyed the eggplant parmigiana although next time I will ask for blush sauce with my pasta. My friend had the tortellini with blush sauce, and I tried a bite and that sauce was very good! There is a bountiful dried grocery section, along with refrigerated and frozen Coco’s to go! All in all, a very cool place! I highly recommend checking it out

    Don't be fooled by the low-key facade. This place is the most authentic, delicious, down-home Italian food here in Nashville! Don't forget to leave room for the in-house made gelato. You will NOT be disappointed! The owners, Chuck and his Mom, are likely there making sure you have a top-notch evening. Be sure to say hello.

    There was no wait when we went. Waiter was attentive and answered our questions thoroughly. The brushetta was delicious. Everyone also enjoyed their meals. Large portions so we all took some home with us.

    I went for the first time after going to an event at CoCos event center next door. The food is so good! I got the cheese ravioli in marinara sauce. I also got a second basket of rolls. I enjoyed the bread, but some of the others on my party wanted it more crispy. Just something to keep in mind! I ordered a slice of oreo cheesecake to take home and it was delicious! It is a little pricey, but not unreasonable for the quality of food you get. Pretty sure I'm in love with Italy now 😍.

    Everything was amazing. It felt like I was in the Sopranos eating authentic Italian flavors here. Thank you for a great dining experience , will definitely be back.

    So Sis and I did a new thing for brunch today. I've passed @cocositalianmarket for years and heard of their brunch, but never brought myself to stop and try them out. We initially planned to hit up the Waffle House but both of our regular locations were crowded. So I motioned for Sis to "follow me". I was pleasantly surprised at the bill of fare. The customer service was great and the prices were very reasonable for the portion because, as you know, Italian culture eats! We had: Fried cheese w/ marinara Abruzzo which is an egg scramble with Italian sausage, mozarella and fresh spinach w/ rosemary and parmesan potatoes Breakfast Lasagna: Sis chose pancetta as her meat but it's made with a thin homemade pasta, spinach, mozzarella, and topped with provolone Crepes: filled with Nutella and fresh fruit (y'all those grapes were the sweetest I've had in a while 😋😋😋 All in all our experience was memorable and we will definitely return because we enjoyed the aerial tour of Italy while we ate 🇮🇹❤️ They do have vegan options and vegetarian options. And make sure to shop their market for the best in Italian foods, seasonings, desserts and olive oil 👍🏽

    Solid place. Great Italian. Been here forever. Glad it’s back and running full service. I’ve always liked coming here and after the pandemic, I think the food is a touch better. Wasn’t bad before. But man, well worth a stop.

    Celebrated Mother's Day 2023 with my family. Love the Italian vibe and the market. The appetizers were delicious. I had the Lasagna Bolonese. It was really good. I ordered the Affogato for dessert and was highly disappointed, but the cheesecake was fantastic! Overall, it was a good experience.

    Oh wow, you've never had it so good when it comes to real honest to goodness Italian food! Not only is this a restaurant with indoor/outdoor seating tbag serves traditional dishes (and offers travel services to Italy!) but it has a fully stocked Italian market inside chock full of meats, cheeses, and desserts. From imported dried pastas, sauces, to the little tins of sardines and anchovies straight from the coast. Take a seat and you'll be treated to the best pizza, pasta, Arrabbiata, Timpano and an extensive wine list that will complement any dish. Cheesecake, truffles, and gelato will round out the night.

    The food was really good but my grandma who is allergic to dairy asked specifically not to add cheese but when they brought the food back the waiter checked and sure enough there was cheese. The waiter said that he said multiple times not to add cheese. But overall it was very nice for the rest of my family. It was pretty busy at the time so it was a little more slow but was very nice.

    Coco’s is our go-to for Italian food even after moving to Clarksville in 2017. We will drive to Nashville just to eat here every time! They have salads, sandwiches, pasta, pizza…and don’t get me started on the gelato and desserts. You have to keep coming back just to try a new dessert each time. I like to buy gifts for the holidays in their shop too. One of my absolute favorite restaurants in Nashville.

  • 5/5 Amanda A. 1 year ago on Google
    So my husband and I stopped and ate dinner here after a day trip to Nashville. We had a recommendation from a friend for Coco's and I must say we were highly impressed. This small little business not only houses an amazing restaurant but also an Italian market with fresh made items. The food in the restaurant was absolutely delicious. The service was great. Our waiter was awesome and could recommend items off the menu and I must say he was accurate. Take my advice and try it. You will not be disappointed.

    Superb Italian dining. Lots of great dishes to try and plenty of classics! Prices are reasonable enough and the atmosphere is pretty casual, though a little dated. Cocos is one of our must-haves in Nashville when we are in the mood for Italian. Definitely worth trying whether you like old school thin crust pizza or you want a rich Italian entree. This location even has a market with a wide selection of the good stuff. Truffles, cannoli, wine. Just check them out!

    This is our hands-down favorite Italian restaurant in Nashville. The Tortellini Elliston is by far the best dish and the cannolis are impeccable, but you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. There are a few bocce ball lanes outside and an excellent variety of foods in the market/deli inside. There is also a great event space right next door. (We had our wedding rehearsal dinner here in December 2020 and it suited our needs perfectly!) Highly recommend, do yourself a favor and visit!

    My family went to Coco's for brunch and in true form they did not disappoint. Everything was cooked perfectly. I was a little skeptical of the sunny side up eggs on the pizza but it was delicious. Our host/server was polite and personable and made our experience even that much better. Can't wait to go back and try another delicious dish!

    The other 3 people in my party ordered pasta and all seemed pleased. I elected a salad that was rather underwhelming. Unfortunately, however, our waiter made it seem like any request was a major difficulty (such as asking for a cheese plate rather than an antipasto plate), and, while generally efficient, was far from friendly.

    Nordic Tempano…Pizza Capricciosa! Both were wonderfully seasoned and well prepared for great tastes!! Service was good enough, but the food more than made up for it!!

  • 5/5 Leonie D. 5 months ago on Google
    This was our first time visiting Coco's and we were very impressed. The import market has a very large variety of selections with many Italian favorites. The bakery is full of dessert options, including fresh cannolis that were delicious. We also dined in at the restaurant. The waiters were very attentive, friendly, and quick to give us menu suggestions. The food though is where coco's stands out-- the flavors are unmatched! It's like you could taste the family heritage in every bite. I was also impressed at their large selection of vegetarian dishes. We tried the cannolis, fried raviolis, bruschetta, vegetable lasagna, and tortellini elliston. We would happily order these again!

    Tonight was the first time I've eaten here and it was great. The little shop right when you walk in and the smells are amazing. We got sat with a waitress named Meg that legit treated us family. The food,service and atmosphere were all great. I'll definitely be coming back soon.

  • 5/5 Elaine H. 10 months ago on Google
    The food was excellent. Service was a little confusing as we did not receive the Bruchetta before our main course.

  • 4/5 Katerina B. 1 year ago on Google
    First off my waiter was amazing. I wish I got his name. Ill start with environment. Its very loud and crowded. Me and my boyfriend came here to celebrate and it was very hard to hear anything. Constantly had to repeat ourselves. Theres a store in the front that has a lot of delicious handmade stuff. However it is SO expensive. A bag of pasta is over 8 dollars. I get that its made from scratch. But that just isnt enough for me to justify spending that much. We started off eating the Toasted Cheese Ravioli. It was really good but I was surprised by how little came. 5 pieces for me and my boyfriend to share. For 10 dollars I was expecting a few more at least. I got the pesto fettuccine. I have never had pesto and ended up not liking it. I made a comment about it to the waiter not expecting anything but just making friendly conversation and he said hes switch my dish out to something else. Thank you so much to him because I am pregnant and thought I was going to cry from how sad I was over not liking my food. I had decided to get what my boyfriend got, tortellini in a blush sauce. The spinach tortellini was AMAZING the portions of both dishes we got were great compared to the appetizer. Im sure my food was good for anyone who likes pesto, however I was practically drooling over the tortellini. Were planning on coming back just for that and this dish and my amazing waiter are purely what is keeping this at 4 stars.

  • 5/5 Leslie B. 1 year ago on Google
    If I could give this restaurant 10 or more stars I would. You can tell this is authentic Italian food. Tried the fried cheese Ravioli for an appetizer and I got the lasagna and oh my goodness!! Both of them were out of this world good. I can't wait to come here again!! Oh and a must try is the homemade gelato and of course do not forget the cannoli! Not only is this an Italian restaurant it is an Italian market. You can buy cheese, bread, already made dinners, pizza, honey, olive oil, wines, chocolate....etc. The list goes on and on!!

  • 4/5 Trevor M. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the better Italian restaurants in Nashville. Pasta and service are great. Servers are always friendly and accommodating. We always have to stop in the market area to pick up made in house pasta and sauce to take home.

  • 5/5 Annie L. 2 years ago on Google
    I was blown away from the first bite. The Bruschetta was AMAZING. Probably the best I have ever had. I got the Lasagna Bolognese and my husband got tortellini. Both were fantastic. The service was fast and the server was friendly. I highly recommend going here.

    What can I say about coco's that hasn't already been said? This little place is so cute and absolutely delicious! Our server was extremely kind and watching him joke around and take care of a table with two older women was heart warming. He really went above and beyond. Also he had great hair and a really cool style. I wish I caught his name! The food selection was vast and it was so hard to choose because we could tell everything was going to be good. I got cheese manicotti and caprese to start with. We ended with a bunch of cannolis and good god was it amazing. Will definitely be back to shop in the market and for more amazing service!

    What a beautiful slice of Italy we have here in Nashville. The front door has you walk right into an Italian market full of items you, or at least I, cannot find anywhere else (such as Amazon or your local grocery store). Real olive oil, maraschino cherries of all flavors, pasta made with love, and desserts of all kinds. My goodness, I wasn't expecting to buy anything. But I did. Truffles and a slice of blueberry lemon cake. Oh my gosh.. I'm tellin' you. This place has got to be doing Italy proud. The actual restaraunt is to the left after walking in. The room is dim. Lit with flame lights. Giving off an orange hue. There's another room that's inclosed, but outside. Which is where we sat. The room was equipped with heaters and coolers. Colored string lights and a beautiful bar decorate the outdoor area. The food and my cocktail were absolutely delicious. The bread, the dough, and especially the cheese, are on another level. It was extremely satisfying. I mean, the cheese is something you would need to experience on your own. Truly. Truly delicious. Loved it and I would definitely come back. As far as having anything negative to say, there were just a couple of details. And this is not to hinder this place at all. The overall experience was fantastic and the food unmatched. However, parking was a pain. As per Nashville tradition, we parallel parked on the side of the building. Half on pavement and the other half 2 or 3 inches down on gravel. That, and our waiter was sooo slow. Took quite some time to get a drink going (was out of simple syrup on a weekend) and then to take our food order, he just disappeared for quite some time. Enough time to get my usually patient wife thinking about just leaving. That being said, when served and when greeted, all employees were lovely and the experience felt genuine. I will be back. I'm feeling a date night with the wife here. Get us a babysitter. This place deserves a second go. And probably a third.

    Pleasant experience with Bocce outside!! The food is delicious, the staff are very friendly and fast, and it's at a good location!! Go try it, yourself! 💯 You won't be disappointed!!! Phenomenal!!

    Let me tell you about Al... He was an absolute amazing server. He made our evening go as smooth as can be. We had a party of 8 people, he never wrote anything down. Everything came out exactly how we ordered it. We never ran out of drinks or had to move plates to make room for more.. He was on top of it.. If more servers were like him I'd be broke.. he worked and never stopped. And my family noticed as well. Let me say this. Tip your servers!!! Al we love you and will be back next time we are in town to visit. The food was the best Italian food ever! When we needed boxes to go and Al went ahead and put fresh bread a sauces to go in the box to make it easy on us. And don't get me started on the deserts... We might have ordered one of everything. Don't judge. He even got us a baby Canoli for my granddaughter Sophia. Just make a trip, you won't be disappointed.

    I don't know why it has taken me a few years to come back to this gem. Being originally from NY, this is traditional Italian-American food at its finest! You can even purchase packages of genuine Italian bakery butter cookies with rainbow cookies in the shop, along with Jewish bakery staples of babka and rugelach (also spelled rugula).

  • 5/5 Brian G. 2 years ago on Google
    I can't believe how good this place is. It is something that a Foodie would really enjoy. Not to fancy entire but kinda authentic. The food is unbelievably good. A real jerrsy joint. The pizza(pie) is thin and maybe the best I've ever had. The meatballs definitely were the best I've ever ate. AND the desserts were amazing(I don't believe they are made inhouse but very good. I recommend the Lemon cello cake🤦‍♂️) ...

    Very nice Lunch today at Coco’s. My wife had the Manicotti and I ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo. We shared with each other and both dishes were delicious. The Cannelloni for dessert was great as well.

  • 5/5 Edward G. 2 years ago on Google
    Want a home cooked Italian dinner with a local, neighborhood feel? Coco’s is the place for you. Great service and fast! Lively atmosphere with 2 bocce courts out front. Try the homemade pasta special! The antipasto appetizer is large and fresh. Homemade meatballs are delicious in their secret sauce. And the Pizza, well it brings me back to my NYC days.
