Cotto

Such a warm, friendly place. Staff are professional and knowledgeable, as well as being really lovely. Clientele reflected this welcoming atmosphere - all ages represented. We were visiting Hereford for 2 nights and ate there both nights following our great experience on the first night. If anything, the food on evening 2 was even better. Beautifully balanced pasta sauces, and arancini which were so much better than any we'd eaten before. Even the pesto was in a class of its own. Great Italian wines and gorgeous cocktails. Would recommend without hesitation.

We booked a table for 3 and was given a nice table with comfy chairs. Enjoyed all the dishes and one cocktail.
As the restaurant was busier, staff were working flat out and the chef kept saying ‘service please’ repeatedly and it’s kind of disturbing. On the other hand we didn’t want to see food getting cold on the counter either. Could there be a better solution when busy?

We had the pleasure of dining at Cotto this Saturday, and I was thoroughly impressed with every aspect of the experience! From the moment we stepped in, the warmth and charm of the decor set a cozy and inviting backdrop for what turned out to be a fantastic meal.

The team deserves a special shout-out. They were not just friendly but genuinely attentive and helpful, making us feel welcomed and valued. They were knowledgeable about the menu and had great recommendations that did not disappoint.

Now, onto the food – it was beyond expectation! Every dish was a delightful surprise, bursting with flavors that spoke of the care and creativity in the kitchen. The ingredients were fresh, and each plate was a beautiful presentation that made the dining experience even more special.

Whether you're a local foodie or a visitor to the city, Cotto is a must-visit. It's not just a meal; it's an experience that you will want to repeat. Hats off to the chef and the entire team! We can't wait to return.

What a gem! Had a fantastic meal in this gorgeous little restaurant. Beautiful interior, fantastic service and food was delicious! Only downside was that they'd run out of Tiramisu!! 😵
Would return in a heart beat!

Fantastic experience and gorgeous food! A little more expensive but you don't mind paying for freshly cooked quality food. Frogs Legs & Gnocchi are amazing! The best Tiramasu dessert ever , accompanied with some outstanding cocktails.Without a doubt the best Italian restaurant in Hereford!!!

Had the absolute pleasure of dining at Cotto, the food is simply stunning and authentic. Staff are absolutely amazing and so helpful, and fun. For me the best place I've eaten in Hereford for a long time.

On a recent family visit to Hereford we spent one evening at Cotto. Our meal was outstanding, especially the lamb dish and the starter of cold meats. The service was very friendly and professional. We'll definitely visit next time we are in Hereford.

Me and my boyfriend were sat at the bar overlooking the kitchen. Super friendly conversation with all the staff, made us feel at home. Food was amazing, so were the cocktails. Will definitely be back.

I'd heard great things about this place so booked for a Saturday lunch. We had the aranchini balls with a salad and was blown away as to how good they were, followed up with polenta cake for me and affogato for the other half. Both were delicious and something new for us to try. I can't recommend the food and service enough from the moment we walked through the door. We will be returning to enjoy more of the menu.

Dined her as part of a corporate meal on a busy weekend evening. I adore Italian food and dined in Italy many of times wishing I lived there. This restaurant was amazing. Authentic Italian cuisine at its best. Shared a mixture of antipasti ans i had the pizza, it was heavenly and so we're the cocktails. It was an extremely busy evening and the ladies looking after us were super friendly and brilliant at their jobs. I would dine her 3 times a day if I could. Thank you for a wonderful evening. Looking forward to coming again

Visited lastnight with my boyfriend for valentines night and must say food was very tasty and well presented altho my boyfriend was disappointed with presentation of his octopus as was not the instagram photo he had seen 🙈 lol but taste was present 🙌 i loved that we were out the back with the burners to keep us warm only thing id say is our legs were freezing lol but overall food atmosphere and top service off all staff members would definately return

Had a really hard time deciding on which dishes to get as so many lovely things to choose from. Was not disappointed on my final selection at all! Lovely prompt service.

Food was good. Service was good. Only downside no real espresso available. Otherwise all very good.

Good excellent, service good, a bit slow initially, atmosphere good, but rather noisy table next to us. My fourth visit to you, I will be back

What an incredible find in downtown Hereford. Wonderful cocktails, great service and excellent Italian inspired food. We went on New Years Eve and it was packed, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Ellie, our server was outstanding. The food, prepared lovingly by Francesco, the chef owner, and his excellent kitchen staff, was simply top notch. My wife and I had a Cornish crab linguine, and my family had various yummy Napoli style pizzas. All were polished off. We shared a couple of fun and tasty deserts, and all the cocktails were outstanding. Thank you and great job all.

Great meal, brilliant service definitely have to go back again. Desert of the hot doughnut with chocolate sauce inside just the perfect end to the meal.

Loved my visit, delicious food and a great overall menu. If I lived locally I'd go again and taste more of the dishes. This is tasty Italian/Napolitan cuisine with few anglifications, so get ready for a great experience.

Cannot recommend Cotto enough!!! We had such a lovely night, the atmosphere is lovely, staff are super friendly (shout out to Charlotte for being fab), little on the pricey side but food was worth it!!!

Such a great find, while staying in Hereford. Authentic Italian/Sicilian dishes, very tasty with a lovely selection of Italian wines, beers, and good tasting cocktails. Impressed with the welcome and service and the relaxed ambiance. Being a 'foodie' reassured by the authenticity of this family owned (by 2 chefs) restaurant that started out cooking at festivals and events. Finishing off with the tiramasu confirmed how good the food is - one of the best restaurant tiramasu's I've tasted for a long time.

Great place. We went for an evening meal on a busy Saturday night. The best seats in the house are the bar seats right next to the kitchen as you get to watch the chefs cook. Food was lovely. Service was slightly slow as they were rushed off their feet but all good and we will be back!
