A word from Cotto Enoteca Pizzeria
Cotto Enoteca showcases modern Italian cuisine, specializing in authentic VPN certified Neapolitan pizza and comforting house made pastas. The menu is steeped in Italian tradition, though updated with west coast sensibility and is presented in an approachable and informal setting. Chef Alex Tung"s "…simple, yet elegant" cuisine features the natural beauty of local, sustainable and seasonal ingredients in an appropriate and sumptuous manner. Showcasing the best ingredients of British Columbia and the traditional techniques of Italy is the overwhelming inspiration behind Cotto Enoteca. The wine program features a considerable "by the glass" offering including an eclectic list of specialty wines focused solely on BC and Italian wineries. The cocktail list spotlights our interpretations of classic Italian inspired libations, while the beer menu includes a few classic Italian selections along with an exciting and highly specific craft beer offering.

Diner Reviews
  • "The mushroom pizza was great but the risotto was hard and undercooked. The waitress was friendly but didn't quite listen well to our drink orders. She would take the order then would come back because she forgot what my friend ordered. I would go back someday but only for the pizza."

  • "I have been to Cotto a few times and have always been very happy with the food and service. I've tried most of the pizzas, some of the pastas, and I've yet to be disappointed. If they have a daily special, go for it! :)"

  • "Went to cotton for a 9:00 reservation for a bit and some drinks and it did not disappoint. Drinks were great although a tad pricy but the good quickly made up for it. Pizza cooked perfectly and the berry salad was superb. Will happily return"

  • "The pizza we had (Caponata) was disappointing because somewhat tasteless. The gnocchi was pretty good, but not outstanding."
    Dined on 1/24/2014
  • "My husband and I took our guests to Cotto for pizza. We all loved it. We shared 4 pizzas amongst us. Only a few slices remained! Excellent thin crust and the wood fire taste is wonderful. Will definitely bring back guests again! The housemade donuts for dessert were delicious! Great way to top off the meal. All for good value too!"
    Dined on 1/17/2014
  • "Cotto is our new favourite date night spot. The food and atmosphere and spectacular and the staff clearly love being there. I am kind of kicking myself for sharing the info because I kind of want to keep it for myself..."

  • "but our table was close to the door and bar so was pretty cold and noisy. I had to wear a sweater during dinner. The good was good and the presentation was good as well. I would go back but would make sure that our table was not too close too the door."

  • "The food here is consistently good quality and prepared well. The Calimari is exceptional and worth the trip. Probably one of the best anywhere. Pizza's are uniquely equisite. I would prefer the bottom crusts to be less moist but you can't have everything. Our server has been there some time and she masters her station. A good person for this house indeed. Coffee excellent. Wines I find too expensive over all be it they have some interesting finds."

  • "Excellent food, good wine and friendly staff. Love the Caesar Salad."

  • "Got excited when I saw the menu. Napoleon style flatbreads? Awesome! Keep it simple. Got even more excited about the fresh sheet. Service was prompt, friendly and informative. Suggestions for drinks worked out for my friend. Super quiet, but it was a Tuesday. I'll be back with a larger group for sure."

  • "Came here for a family birthday, appetizers (calimari & chef's take on bruschetta) pizza and pastas (tagliatelle fruitti de mer & Papardelle Carbonara) were both excellent. Only minor complaint was that the tagliatelle was not quite as saucy as we'd prefer. Other than that, great experience overall, and in our old neighbourhood to boot!"
    Dined on 10/14/2013
  • "Came on time for a reservation and stood at the door for a few minutes before an apparently off-duty employee hanging around called out to a few people, though no one paid him any more attention than we received. The manager and server seemed to be outside socializing with a group of people. Eventually, when we were seated, the service improved. Ceasar salads were a tad deconstructed, but tasty - would order again. Fried gnocchi lacked salt and pepper, though we thought it would be salty enough had the panchetta been cooked enough to eat. Polpetti were what I expect meatballs to be - but not stellar. We'll try this place again for the pizza and hope the service improves more. More customer focus is needed here. Fairly noisy as well."

  • "Margherita pizza was amazing and seafood pasta was another great dish with perfect flavor in pasta sauce!"

  • "We had a wonderful meal. It was hard to choose but we went with salads and a pasta dish and both were excellent! I can't wait to go there again!"

  • "We ordered Caesar Salad, Margarita Pizza,Linguini with meatballs, Cannelloni and Kids pasta with butter and parmesan cheese. We also enjoyed a half liter of the Itallian Pino Grigio! Everything was delicious! We especially liked the pizza and Caesar salad. All items were great for sharing! The pizza oven in the centre of the restaurant was a great feature to talk about! Two thumbs up!"

  • "Overall thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Waiting staff was no pushy, but at the same time very helpful and knowledgable. Food was superb tasting, especially the desert."

  • "We were visiting in the area. Found this great gem. The seating area is a bit on the smaller side, but has nice outdoor seating area also. But note, if it's cool out, you may get a draft from the patio door. The food here was great. We started with the Affumicato pizza. This was terrific! Crispy flavorful crust, very tasty toppings. Their pizza oven does a great job. We both had pasta courses in the 'small' size. This is really a regular portion for a normal person. If you want extra for take home, get the larger. Both pasta courses were ver tasty, though the pizza still was in our memory. Each had dessert, both were great as well."

  • "It was our first time to this restaurant and we wanted authentic Italian but didn't want to go all the way downtown. We had a great table on the patio, excellent service and exceptional food. Authentic pizzas.....thin crust, no heavy sauce, great flavor. We will definitely go back! They had 25% off bottles of wine on Mondays as luck would have it...perfect! The pastas were large portions...perfect for sharing, which is the Italian way!"

  • "Pizza was pretty good, though there are some better pizzas in Vancouver. Highlights included fantastic service and a delicious caramel pudding dessert. For some reason the wine was very overpriced. Would probably come more often if we lived in the area. Overall it's worth checking out."

  • "Had wanted to try Cotto Enoteca for a while after having driven past a few times. We really enjoyed our dinner, service was excellent and we look forward to trying more menu items next time. The burrata was good, a unique combination of flavors that was really tasty. Seafood tagliatelle was full of fantastic seafood, I had the small version and couldn't finish it, large portions. The only negative was the periodic noise from an obnoxious motorcycle driving past as the patio is very close to the street, unfortunately this is out of the restaurant's control."
    Dined on 6/5/2013
  • "I enjoyed my dining experience at this comfortable restaurant. The tomato sauce is delicious, home made and authentic Italian - so are the meatballs. The pasta is delicious and the pizzas look great . The service is friendly, courteous and attentive. Good recommendations made by the server and when asked, warm delicious bread serves with a home made white bean dip. There is parking which is a bonus. Will definitely recommend to friends and return to this little gem when I have a hankering for yummy Italian food."

  • "We went back to Cotto after visiting the former Anducci's many times over the years and were looking forward to seeing the differences but still hoped the Anducci menu was still the core. Although we were a little disappointed with the menu changes ( loved Anducci's), we tried three of their items and were pleased with the presentation, and the quantity."
    Dined on 5/18/2013
  • "I was very impressed! The Service was prompt and friendly, the Food was very fresh tasting and delicious flavour! The décor was modern and warm and you felt the relaxed atmosphere. I will Definitely return when I get the chance and I strongly recommend you try out this little Gem!"
    Dined on 5/12/2013
  • "Great place for sharing a bunch of yummy dishes! The open kitchen and view of the pizza oven is off to the side of the restaurant, which makes it accessible, but not the main feature. The brick behind the central bar is beautiful and lends an old-world feel to the restaurant's modern decor. Great service and decent portion sizes (especially starter salad and dessert!). A nice place to treat Mom to dinner for a special occasion. Only complaint was the chill coming in from the "heated" patio - could have used a heat lamp inside! Will go back for sure. Also good to note availability of vegetarian options."
    Dined on 5/12/2013
  • "One of our neighbourhood favorites! Cotto's less-travelled Okanagan-focused wine list,many by the glass, is on e of the best around. The new menu items, such as the Ceasar salad, and anitpasto platter, are nice additions. Lacey is a terrific server; friendly, attentive and knowledgable Can hardly wait for the outdoor fireplace!"
