Cocorico in Barnet

Pizza delivered cold and missing some ingredients, very disappointed

Portions were huge and the food was delicious as always.

Ordered a grilled chicken breast burger - recieved fried breadcrumb thin chicken pieces thrown in a bun. Chips very cold and either fried twice or fried in oil that has been used several times - not edible.

Not great food very dry chicken and average pasta. I wouldn't recommend.

Exceptional Steak and Outstanding Service! I had one of the best steak I’ve ever experienced at Cocorico. The steak was absolutely outstanding, perfectly cooked, juicy, tender, and full of flavour. What made the experience even more memorable was the service. Our waiter Fernando was attentive and friendly. It’s rare to find a restaurant that nails both the food and the service, but this one absolutely did. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to anyone who appreciates a great steak and top-tier hospitality.

Lovely service and atmosphere but superfood salad was highly disappointing.

no salad dressing. coke not cold. pizza not hot.

My experience could have been much better today I ordered take away from the resturant, I did think the food would be amazing when I looked at the menu from the chef. I would probably come to the restaurant instead of using deliveroo next time. My order no. Is 5461. When the food arrives the lobster and mussles were out from the bag.. if they would just use cling film to protect my food or another plastic bag to secure it make tight knots then it would have been great. So Noone can open it before me when you have to pass food to some unknown drivers..I care about my food being safe in that sense. I ordered the half lobster and mussels with cream and saffron, chicken liver cook with sage was a total spot on, it was amazing just how i like it. I just wish I get to eat the lobster and mussels..and also have my food warm.. I called deliveroo and got on their service phone line complained about my food spilling out and arrived open as well as using the live chat to send pictures to proof it but they did not take care of my case ...they abused my money being spent for a purpose. This is pretty unfair to me i have to pay for this and this service from them. So please if u could get a waiter to either pack nicely with an extra cling film and a bag to secure it keep it warmer and safe from drivers. That would have been a fantastic experience with the food your chef pulled up. I told deliveroo to get someone swap a fresh one exchange this what i got with me but they just don't care my food was spilling out...the paper bag was broken and sauces were everywhere... That was a total let down deliveroo treat your customer this way when food was not packed properly as well, a lot of cleaning until I get to try the cold chicken liver. Afterall they did not redeliver and swap with me.. it is unfair. When you pack the heaviest one should have been packed at the bottom. If you get this right I will happily order from your resturant again judging the food is actually wonderful. I actually liked the food a lot. Thank you for reading this, I really hope my next experience can be better. Judging what sort of food u are selling it could be good to use foil as well to keep it warm and keep the food safe please A week after I ordered the food again and chicken liver it was dry like deep fried, seafood cook with cream parsley wine and cream was tastless , pasta and everything was not as good as before... except the apple pie

There are so many restaurants along this stretch of the High Road in Whetstone but this restaurant is a Gem.. We live locally and have been to lots of places to eat around here but Cocorico serves great food at very fair prices. Tonight I ate Sea Bass and my wife had Dover sole. These fish were large and cooked to perfection, served alongside delicious fresh vegetables.. I've paid far more for the same type of meal elsewhere and been disappointed. At Cocorico the service is good, the atmosphere pleasant and the food is really worth coming here for !

Good pizza and great service overall - the carbonara was not up to scratch unfortunately, but other dishes made up for it.

First time here and absolutely loved it. The service was absolutely amazing and everyone was so attentive. Great portion sizes too, and good quality food. We’ll definitely be coming back

Bad impression for a first timer. Have lived in Barnet my whole life and finally decided to give Cocorico a go as I have always heard great things and it has always looked busy. Was greeted, sat down and served quickly which was great for a busy night like tonight. Me and my partner both ordered. I noticed that when it came to me ordering the “Chilli Chicken Le Piccanti” it took a while for this to register with the waiter so I repeated it twice more and left it at that. Starters came out no problem, mains came out as one pizza, which my partner ordered, and one chicken wrap… we said this isn’t what we had ordered, member of staff queried it as if we didn’t know what we had ordered and they went off to make the correct item. Second time lucky right? Wrong! They brought out a pepperoni pizza… Once again the staff queried this, also important to note that out of choice I haven’t ate red meat in over 5 years. We pointed at what we had ordered, staff went off third time lucky. Important to note one member of staff, who I think may have been duty manager, was great and very apologetic which we really appreciated, but he was the only one. After sometime we were ready to go, it had been sometimes since the food had first arrived and at least 10 minutes since my partner finished. We asked for the bill, said we would pay for what we had ate. The staff, who I believe was the duty manager, came over once again. Extremely apologetic and said everything was on the house, cannot thank him enough. The food was great and I’m sure what happened was a one off. The staff are in need of some serious training however.

Delicious food. Very busy on a Saturday night but we managed to get a table as we were prepared to wait 20 mins. Nice atmosphere and staff mostly very lovely Only issue is the waiting area- is the bar which is very busy- but definitely made to feel we were in the way. Bar stools are fixed in front of the service area so had to stand as were not allowed to sit on them!

Amazing evening! Food incredible and service OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! Best Italian ever with a huge choice of food!

Thanks, luke And erin, with the best about the experience the customer service was from the heart and they’re wonderful and if I was the boss, I’d give them a pay rise

Food was okay, the calamari was good, however the chicken burger was slightly overcooked but overall the food was good.

Had a lovely lunch and the service was great. Look forward to coming back - special mention to Birol for looking after us.

Amazing food, great restaurant, would definitely recommend and will be returning

We sat outside and there was nothing special about their atmosthere. We ordered calamari and some bread with butter as a starter. The calamari was undercooked and soggy. There was five pieces of bread and two of them were burned. For main we ordered ceasar salad and creamy chicken. The salad was bland and tasteless even the sauce wasn’t taste like a sauce. The chicken was raw in a watery white sauce. We could’t eat our food. It was a terrible experience, we didn’t complaint about the food to our waiters but we will not go back ever again.

Average tasteless Italian food. Its price reflects the poor quality food. Wont go back .

Birol such a fantastic, Awsome, lovely person and personality. Great chat and gave great suggestions for the food. He was brilliant. However he did support Barcelona even though my Spanish grandma (Real Madrid supporter) was there. Therefore 8.5673/10.

Bad service i had the worst experience there , i find a wire in my pasta and make never to eat pasta in my life !!

Big promise but delivery a little didsapointing. Calmari arrived age was effectively courgette (out of season) and a few pièces of calamari. Pasta way over cooked and sauce pedestrian. Veal obviously frozen. Staff attentive and jolly. Wine choice good. Lively ambiance which is why my kids choses it. There are better italien restaurants nearby.

We had the olives, spaghetti alla vongole and cannelloni, which were all delicious. The tiramisu was good but I've had better. The pecorino was decent but a very generous portion for the value. The service was ok and needs to be organised better. The venue is nice but very loud.

I have been always hearing very nice feedbacks about this restaurant from the local people. We wanted to give it a a try with my family. They were right.Restaurant it is very well established.Lay out is fantastic.You feel the Italian vibe as soon as entry with warm welcoming and smiles. It is obvious that They know what they are doing from owner to staffs.Service is excellent.Food is just fantastic.It takes you all the way to Italy.I washed my mouth with perfect espresso along with their special dessert which you can not find such one anywhere in London. It was unique dessert and we had lovely experience with my family. I appreciate for everything.

Fabulous. Brio & all team members were so kind, considerate and professional. The food & drinks are consistently brilliant. Cocorico is one of our absolute favourites. Thank you 😍😍

Awful service. Waiter had a bad attitude when he came over and made me feel uncomfortable. I changed my order twice (straight away so I didn't make him send anything back but just didn't want a garlicky dish). This clearly annoyed him but surely isnt the end of the world. He also rolled his eyes when I said i had a nut allergy. No offer of drinks/dessert, so asked for the bill after about an hour. He returned and then got annoyed when we asked him to just divide by 3 please. He said that was our job and went off in a huff. When we called him back after doing calculations, unfortunately the card machine clearly wasn't working as my card didn't work and he got annoyed with the receipts. My one friend's card did work but my other friends didn't. He shouted at her and said we were wasting his time and he had a job to do. I then said I'd pay for us with another card but not the service after shouting like that. I was so nervous I got the password wrong as i usually use my phone. My other friend paid for us all and then I realised he charged for his incredibly rude service. He then shouted at me and told me to get out and never return. He then swore at me in another language. Awful man. I won't be going back as requested but plan to email the manager. Clearly they need to get more staff if he is so stressed and he needs to leave the job if he is so unhappy.

thanks to donato and the whole team for a wonderful meal and excellent experience all round grazie mille

All of my servers were delightful, the food was amazing, came quickly and Donato one of our servers went above and beyond even recommending a local Italian festival. Can’t wait to come back :)

Birol really took care of us and made us feel very welcome! Thank you so much

Birol was an absolute joy! What a great dining experience, the food was lovely we’ll definitely be back!

The food is just average. You can finish everything, but nothing special about them. The service is fast and friendly. And you should not ask for tips after paying the bill. If we want to tip, we can ask card machine or leave cash. I’m not sure if we will come back again.

Birol was our server, and not only did he give complimentary olives, but was really nice in general. Really satisfied with the food and my visit here

Great sized meals. Good selection of food to choose from.

Great restaurant, lots of choices, clean, friendly staff. Highly recommend

Broil & Kathrine made our evening so pleasant. Thoroughly enjoyed it

busy and vibrant even on a Monday... Great friendly service, highly recommended. Will be visiting again Latest visit Fri eve. Busy but staff coped brilliantly. Fab!

Great portion size and delicious tasting food. It arrived quickly and it was hot. Would definitely order from them again

Absolutely smashing food and hospitality, rarely do you find such a place with food that is top notch and all staff so attentive. Thank you to the full team! Special shout out to the barman for the spicy margarita. :)

First time eating here lovely meal will definitely come back

Great service from Birol! Great food! Definitely will be back!!

Birol, what a man, we love you! Great service thank you P.s granny wants to take you home

Worst chicken I’ve ever had,must have been made in the Dunlop factory. I couldn’t even cut it. My wife’s veal escalope w As as bad so could not eat. I order a pizza instead So the evening cost me £65.00 for one pizza. My recommendation is don’t go as there are plenty of restaurants near by.

It was very cold and no spinach on the pizza

Celebrated our family birthdays few times the last 6 weeks and we had an amazing time and services is always very friendly. A big star to Birol who served us today. The most important thing is the food quality highly maintained.

Birol served us and made sure our experience was perfect from the moment we arrived right up until we paid. Stefano also assisted with serving our food and made us feel so welcome. Excellent customer service. Great food I was so full up. Just what I needed after a long workout. Well priced, great service!

Biroland Stephanie gave both me and my friend a 5 star service.

Amazing service, amazing food. Our host Birol was great!!. He was so helpful and attentive. I will defo come back to this place

Go hungry. Excellent Italian food full of flavours. Nice to see plenty staff.

What a great place! Great food, friendly staff and lovely atmosphere

Birol is possibly the best host in Whetstone. Lovely personable service, looks after you and the great thing is the restaurant and food backs up all the great service. Great place, amazing food and the best service.

Lovely food, good portion size

Food was really good and Birol provided us with fantastic service making sure we always had enough to drink and eat and was very attentive to our needs. Thank you Birol we will be back!

This truly is my go to place, there is nothing I have not enjoyed, the food is to die for, cocktails are amazing and the customer service is always friendly and welcoming.. I recommend to all.

Seven of us visited the restaurant for dinner on a Saturday evening - it was absolutely heaving with people so it was a good job we had booked. The staff are all friendly and efficient, we were attended to without having to call someone over. They checked up on us at good intervals - not so easy to get right as too long interval might make you feel forgotten and too short intervals would seem as if they're hassling you - perfect. The solid square table accommodated us all, the chairs were sturdy and comfortable, plates, glasses and cutlery were nicely laid out and everything nice and clean. Orders for drinks to start off with, everything served together and accurately. Orders for starters and mains taken next, all starters coming together, cleared away in one go, mains served together and again cleared in one go. With the restaurant so busy I was impressed that the standard of service was so good. Everyone enjoyed their starters, arancini, calamari, salmon and prawn etc. I had the battered calamari, very good, lightly battered and crisp and I recommend it. The mains were also very good and in decent portions. I had asked for the calf liver in balsamic vinegar to be as rare as the chef thought he could get away with and it arrived, soft, tender, juicy and tasty - lovely! The veal escalope was pronounced very good, as were the pizzas and various varieties of pasta ordered. The bill came after the right interval and was 100% correct. 10% service charge was added as advertised on the menu which we happily paid. The sole issue I have with the restaurant is the NOISE. The chairs were padded but apart from that all other surfaces were hard, including the exposed structure of the ceiling. Some form of noise attenuation would not go amiss as the chatter within the full restaurant bounces around the room getting louder and louder as people attempt to make themselves heard. We could only talk to who we were sitting alongside. Talking across the table was not possible. I find the level of noise pollution within restaurants to be a massive problem. It is rare to come across a place with enough soft furnishings on the wall and sound-absorbing ceiling panels to reduce noise so that diners' conversations can take place at a normal level. There may also be the factor that some people can get so excited at dinner that they can't help but become animated and whoop like a gibbon at every opportunity. Such an eventuality cannot be blamed on the restaurant.

Great service. Birol was very friendly

Lovely Italian restaurant with a rich menu The only downside is lack of vegan options or even markings which is a shame these days. Everyone enjoyed it nonetheless!

Birol era un caballero absoluto y nos hizo sentir tan bienvenidos Siempre nos encanta venir aquí... La comida es genial el servicio es genial y es increíble cada vez

The service is friendly and the perfect amount of attentive. I very much enjoyed my courgette frites, and salmone alla griglia, while my companion enjoyed mussels. I've been here a few times, and look forward to my next visit. Heartily recommended.

Great place. Friendly atmosphere. Nice food and polite stuff

Pizza was icecold, must have done a world tour with it

Always amazing in here! My favourite place to go for dinner. Food is always delicious and the waiters are always very attentive. Birol was our waiter tonight and he was brilliant!

Lovely food and service, Birol took great care of us and made sure the night was perfect

Very good service , good taste Foods value for money. Waiter services are so sincere and friendly in particular Mr Biroc.. although we have put on T shirt and sport wear in the restaurant while the rest of guests having real dining day out , with Birthday party celebration at the other end, Mr Biroc give full attention on our request without any delay, giving us superior services without any delay, we felt very comfortable in the well decorated , spacious restaurant . Will definitely re visit the restaurant again

Excelente comida y un servicio maravilloso. Especialmente Birol era muy atento. Disfrutamos de la comida muy bien porciones de comida.

Ordered a pizza and tagliatelle and I received a spaghetti bolognaise.

I scheduled my order and every part of my food was stone cold, this was a big surprise as I have ordered from the restaurant a few times. Either the restaurant prepared my food without seeing the requested delivery time frame or just eat didn't have a driver available that led to the food being cold. I am furious that I have received no refund and only a £9.0 credit. The agent could not be bothered to review and seek to resolve this poor experience.

Fabulous restaurant with excellent service. Friendly and professional staff, always welcoming.

Thanks to Pirol for the fantastic service for my father’s 85th birthday.

I’ve had a lot of recommendations to go and try this place and im glad that i have

Cocorico has become a regular go to for me. The staff are very welcoming and courteous . Birol really looked after us and even knows what type of chillies we appreciate! Food is so well prepared and delicious. You dont feel rushed and yet the service is great. Thank you. I will be back very soon! Namaste to the other waiter!

Estuve aquí hace unos años y tenía una lingüina de marisco muy mala (básicamente pasta seca con algunas conchas / sin carne). No he vuelto desde entonces, ya que era tan malo, pero me invitó un grupo más grande de amigos. Traté de advertir lo malo que era, pero eran inocentes. ¡Pues no más! Tenía las albóndigas con lingüina. Se suponía que venía en una rica salsa de tomate excepto que no la había. De nuevo tuve pasta seca insípida con albóndigas que eran totalmente insípidas (sabían como si estuvieran fuera de una lata / creo Fray Bentos). Tuve que dejar la mayor parte. Mis amigos comieron pizza, que de nuevo fue horrible. Probablemente comprado en bases con coberturas. Muy, muy salado. Como las pizzas de supermercado (excepto que saben mejor) ! Algunos del grupo pidieron un helado de helado para el desierto y básicamente se fabricó crema de una lata y no helado! Un café irlandés costaba 9 libras pero apenas tenía alcohol. Este lugar es como un McDonalds italiano (excepto que la comida de McDonalds es más sabrosa y más barata) Por la mierda anterior pagamos £ 450. ¡Háganse un favor y eviten este lugar! Son hombres de negocios que solo quieren meter a tantos tontos como puedan en el lugar y servir comida de mierda. Pero aún así los tontos vuelven. Pero yo no. ¡Una vez mordido dos veces menos! Prueba Sofalinos por el camino. Comida de calidad.

Great quality food and service always, thank you!

Nice food all round with good portion sizes

It was a very busy Saturday night, and we really appreciated the amazing service from our waiter Sam who was really friendly hospitable and made my birthday very special. Everyone enjoyed their food, but kudos to Sam in particular for his great service!

It has been a while since my last and as usual I was not disappointed with the food and service. The staff are always polite, welcoming, and attentive, which adds to the dining experience. On this occasion, I popped in for a delicious bowl of spaghetti al Salmone, which tasted delicious and more than satisfied my hunger pangs.

Excellent quality of food. Staff is very professional and with well manners. I highly recommend this place.

Food was AWFUL, it was absolutely covered in salt with bits of manky greens but no spinach, nowhere near their normal standard of food!!!!!

24 of us came here to celebrate a friend's birthday. Good food and friendly, helpful service. Clearly very popular as it was packed on a cold Friday evening. Lots of choice on the menu.

Visité aquí con amigos y la comida era preciosa. Un precio similar al que pagaríamos en mi ciudad natal. Buen tamaño de porción y comida sabrosa.

Food was okay, nothing special;) find the place a little uptight and not welcoming. Went with my 3 year old boy ( Friday lunch time, wasn't busy and there were plenty of tables) and they put us in corner table where we couldn't even sit next to each other. The Table is suitable for couples, not with toddlers. They did eventually move us to a better table where the chairs were next to each other. The staff constantly speak in their language and in general feel like this place is overrated. I've been there a few times over years but yesterday I left extremely disappointed with the food and services. My son barely touched is bolognese. I was planning to take it away but they took our plate away when I took him to the toilet 😆 - they didn't even wait to ask if we wanted to take away.

Very pleasant staff, and excellent food. Just a little noisy, but I'd go again.

Incredible food. Great vibe and the staff were all so friendly and accommodating. I ended up going 2 nights in a row. 🤣🙈 (that’s clearly saying something) A huge thank you to Nicole, Stefano and Catherine for going above and beyond with their friendly customer service. Thank you again.

Lovely family-run Italian restaurant. We visited with our baby and an elderly friend and the staff were so kind and helpful

Dear management I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share my recent experience at your restaurant, as I believe feedback is important for improvement. During my visit, I encountered some issues that I felt needed to be addressed. Unfortunately, the staff wasn’t very helpful which made the experience less enjoyable. Additionally, I ordered takeaway pasta, but instead received a dish of potatoes and vegetables instead of the pasta I had requested. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I ordered spagetti Vongole and my wife ordered carbonara both delicious. We ve been there many times and i recommend it. Food is excellent and portion are also good.

One item missing and one item not what we asked for. Tried to call restaurant but line busy for 2 hours. Gave up trying. Rubbish

The food was very good but it was poorly packaged so it spilled out of the containers into the delivery bag.

Great welcome, excellent staff, ordered veal escalop in breadcrumbs which, unfortunately, was quite dry

Excellent food and service for our 18 strong christening party. Thankyou.

It was a really enjoyable evening. Lovely atmosphere and great attentive staff but not OTT.

We came last night for our daughter’s 30th birthday party. She has special needs.and we found the staff very helpful. Our waiter was amazing and looked after everyone! .The manager remembered Melanie usually has mashed potatoes and comped her a portion, which was nice. We were a party of 12 and everyone enjoyed the food and the atmosphere

Very prompt delivery. The veal Milanese was delicious. Thank you!

Veal escalope was cold, gristly and tasteless

This was a favourite, but probably the worst experience and rudest management I’ve ever seen. I was charged £12 for hot water? And £6 for vegetables in a pasta? When I queried the bill management replied he had to pay his staff. Mind you we ordered 3 mains and a coffee easy and it was over £15 a head, without the absurd extras. They also said post this on social media as they didn’t care about the customers view. Never ever will visit again

The staff are so friendly & food amazing so we take some away because there's to much

Great restaurant Dropped from 5 to 4 stars as the Ossobuco came with Saffron rice, but did not indicate anywhere the rice had cheese in it....

It was my daughter’s 18th birthday, such a big day 🤩 and I decided to choose this restaurant. This is because, I saw amazing menu and cozy atmosphere . When I came (few days before), manager met me with a smile and carefully listened my needs. I’ve never been there before and was quite cautious, how it will go, how the food will be and service…👀👀🙈 Yesterday was that big day😍😍😍 originally the table was booked for 6 people,but it did go down for 4. I wanted to say a massive thank you for the amazing team, which helped my daughter’s day to make even more special and memorable for the rest of her life 🥹♥️All of them made it incredible, they sand the song with the cake (not just sing with no warmness, put on the table and quickly go, like many restaurants do), the music and put the lights down… every single touch made it so special 🥰🥰 From the bottom of my heart, I can’t say enough how satisfied and happy I am. From the minute one, when opened the restaurant door, until leaving all staff been just amazingly nice and warm🥰 Thank you for your hard work, being professional, making my daughter’s evening special, being so nice and there, when needed ♥️♥️🫂

So noisy, hard to hear your guests speaking, some investment in sound absorbent panels would be a good idea.
