    Food was about average. we went here because pricing g and portions seemed reasonable. And it wasn't a tourist trap.... had a local home made feel.... antipasto was average. calamatta olives, prosciutto, and two types of salami with some pita with balsamic. We were disappointed because we initially ordered bruschetta, but they returned to the table and said they were sold out. We ordered a colognes sauce (pork and beef) with pasta that was aldente. we shared that, and a pizza with arugula, tomato, and prosciutto. The pizza crust was done well, but the pizza had little flavor. We sprinkled red pepper flakes to season it, and it worked well. But the overall texture was dry, and I think a sprinkling of a balsamic glaze on this dish would have been perfect. The desert was pistachio gelato. all I can say is that it was very good. They ship.it in from the New York / New Jersey area. The server's timing was perfect, and the owner came and chatted with us. The decor lacks a bit, except for one amazing neon sign, and be aware that the restaurant s8gn is not seen from the street. It is covered up by a tree. It's hard to see. All.in all, though we enjoyed ourselves, would say this didn't rise to the very good level. It was good. It's worth a visit if you want a more homey and less trendy Italian experience.

    The waiter said the pizza would be 12-inches. It wasn’t. 9 to 10 at most. Ripped-off. The bus boy spilled someone else’s olive oil on our table and we were offered free focaccia bread, but ended up paying $10 for it! Very bad, very sad experience.

    We had a late dinner last night, and enjoyed our food and experience so much! Our waiter Luke was fantastic. He gave a great wine recommendation to go along with the delicious Carbonara. We also had the Margarita pizza, which was fab. The owner Brandon came over after our dinner. Overall the meal and ambiance was great, and we will definitely dine again when we are back in Seattle!

    Last night was our first night in Seattle, and Cotto did NOT disappoint! The owner, Brandon, made us feel welcomed and completely took care of us. Every suggestion he made was delicious from the first to the last bite. The house made pasta is a must! Glad we found this place!
