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!

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.

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.

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

Great place. Friendly atmosphere. Nice food and polite stuff

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

Cocorico Italiano: A Taste of Italy, Cocorico Italiano is a hidden gem, offering an authentic taste of Italy. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with warm hospitality and a delightful ambiance our waiter Michael was excellent. The menu is a celebration of classic Italian cuisine, featuring a wide range of dishes that are both delicious and beautifully presented. The pasta is cooked to perfection, the sauces are full of flavor, and the pizza is incredibly fresh.The service is impeccable. The staff are attentive, knowledgeable, and always happy to offer recommendations. They make you feel like you're part of the family. If you're looking for a truly memorable dining experience, I highly recommend visiting Cocorico Italiano. You won't be disappointed!

In the middle of the storm, we entered this restaurant because we had no other choice. I appreciated getting tiramisu for my birthday, but honestly, it tasted awful. Especially the seafood pasta with white wine sauce was the worst. It ended up being a truly disappointing birthday.

Was my first time in this restaurant. If you are planning a romantic dinner, I'll say to find another restaurant because it is way too noisy , but for groups, it is the best option(a lot of space inside). The food was nice, the things that I absolutely love were the desserts!

Fernando ia the politest, nicest and the moat funny person Ive met. The food came really fast and was verry delicous. Highly recommend.

Food is very good and the restaurant has a nice atmosphere. The majority of staff are nice and friendly, unfortunately we had a surly waiter with an attitude. The only other downsides are that the tables are really packed in, so if you're sitting on the outside of a table you get staff and customers brushing past you constantly. And parking can be an issue. However, the food is very good, just hope you get a decent table and don't get the waiter with an attitude.

I ordered carbonara pasta it was rubbish,never again

I have been to Cocorico twice in person and have ordered numerous times through Eats. Unfortunately one of the dishes I ordered on Uber Eats had to be a joke right? £15 for 3 small rubbery scallops and 2 prawns??!! I would say this restaurant is such a ‘hit and miss’. On the first occasion I went last year in July, the food was brilliant and the atmosphere had a great vibe. Fast forward one year on and the food wasn’t great. Cold dishes and service awful. This isn’t the restaurant to go to if you want friendly staff. They just don’t care. So that’s why I prefer to order via Uber Eats so you don’t have to deal with them direct lol. I have to say the Hawaiian pizza is prob one of the best pizzas I have ever had. My other ‘go to’ is their seafood spaghetti …just amazing ! If you’re ordering online my advice don’t order anything new like I did. Stick what you know and save your money.

I ordered 2 nights in a row. That should tell you enough:) The Melanzana Parmigiana is fresh and tasty. I also has the Spaghetti Bolognese which was delicious and a very nice portion. I will definitely be a regular

My go to Italian place in north London. Been coming for years and love it more than your Mayfair spots. Great quality food, tasty, excellent value for money, service is brilliant. Can’t recommend it enough.

Food very bad quality, I’m not sure if it’s just the name Italian or the food and quality of it. I took a whole sea bream and of course I wasn’t expecting to be fresh but at least cooked properly, looked like they cooked it in microwave and put some tomato sauce on top! Salads very bad with little or no dressing at all.I’ve never had worst food. So sorry. I’m not gonna visit that place again! The only thing was ok, was the pistachio ice cream!

Good quality food and pleasant environment.

Why was my discount 0f nearly £9 {Accrued by previous orders} not applied to my order despite showing me it would. IS THIS JUSTANOTHER CON TO DEAL WITH???

They gave us a table for four and the ac started leaking over my husband’s head we said nothing and we just changed tables, when the waitress came to take our order told us that we need to decide quickly or we can come tomorrow which was terrible as no one told us that they will close in 1 hour, TERRIBLE SERVICE!!! No one came to ask how the food was or if we need anything else so we had to try many times to call them if we wanted anything! A bug was on top of the wine glass that came in the table horrible and disgusting, no manager came to apologise! WORST EXPERIENCE EVER TOTALLY DESTROYED OUR NIGHT!

Lovely italian. Good range of food reasonably priced

My first visit for birthday lunch - (kept it discreet) visited on a Monday lunch hour and it was busy which is an excellent sign. We sat outside, however the I had a chance to look in the restaurant and it was bigger than I thought with plush glamourous decor. The staff was super friendly, welcoming and was very attentive to all customers inside and outside. I treated myself to a beautifully flavoured half lobster with linguine. delizioso! Thank you and will surely go again! :-)

Lovely seabass on the bone well cooked wife had lamb chops also very good

Lovely food great service and so sweet they go all out when it’s your birthday with the music I come here regular and never disappointed check ask each time as chicken is halal but sometime lamb isn’t lamb shank usually halal

I took cannelloni with cotta and spinach, ...there was little ricotta....you could only taste the pasta..., then I took hamburgers, the meat was too thick and very dry

unfortunately my mozzarella starter has come looking like right SHAMBLES. the salad is MUSH and there isn't even mango chutney with one of them. there is some other sauce which I wasn't expecting ?! do better! serve separately if necessary to avoid serving much and cold food

Absolutely amazing place, super quick service Amazing place

Item missing. Restaurant not at fault.

He comido en muchos restaurantes de todo el mundo. Cocorico es probablemente el mejor restaurante italiano en Londres. Increíble comida por la que la Brucetta va a morir. Personal profesional, estoy enamorado del lugar.

Very big and noisy. Extremely large menu and I wonder how much of the food was fresh

the veal was very tuff and stringie not good value for money quite disappointing

With a good choice of pizzas, pasta dishes and more, this was a great place for lunch. The spaghetti vongole was delicious and the garlic pizza bread was superb. The service was excellent.

No happy 😕 Food wad cold and Service was very unfriendly.

A very good place to go either with friends, family or business. I’ve been there for several times and tried a variety of food, 👏 5⭐️. Good quality, price and cleanness. Highly recommend!

An authentic Italian restaurant. We have been coming to Cocorico for over 5 years. Every time we visit the staff is amazingly friendly and authentic. The food, despite a huge menu, is consistent and good. Not an easy challenge for many restaurants. It is always a joy and we will keep coming back.

Pizza’s were good, but the ham was extremely salty. Too Salty to go on a Pizza.

It was my mother's 80th birthday and we thought we'd have a meal here. The staff seemed uninterested and blaise about showing us to our booked table and were slow at attending to our drinks. For my starter I ordered "spicy wings". When they arrived they were very tough and chewy as if they'd been cooked days before, kept in a container in the fridge and then microwaved and slathered in a bottle of cheap BBQ sauce before serving to me. Needless to say I didn't finish them. Next for my main I had a fish mixed grill which was, tuna, herring,salmon and mackerel with 3 tiger prawns and some cherry tomatoes. They had "searing" lines on them as if they were just barbequed but I'm very sure they weren't. They appeared to have been just chucked on my plate with no thought of presentation and when I tried to cut into them they were tough as old boots and smelt rancid. I believe yet again they'd been cooked days before and were possibly out of date, seared on hot coals then left in the fridge until some unfortunate soul ordered them and the 1 minute auto heat on the microwave did it's job turning them into rubberised imitations of what was once cheap fish fillets. Unsurprisingly again I failed to finish. If you ever wondered what the eruption of Mount Vesuvius was like I can tell you first hand, hot lava and a strong smell of sulphur that's what I experienced when I got home. The whole experience was a complete nightmare and I'll never ever go back to COCORICO

Fresh homemade pasta and service outstanding but it was buzy so quite noisy, will go again at an earlier time

Delicious food, excellent customer service, fast and furious.

Very nice and could sit outside. Quite loud inside, but very smart

Lovely good , great atmosphere, been here many times and definitely a favourite

Would give 0 if I could. food was absolutely diabolical. Never in a million years would I return here. Horrible place. Liver which I ordered as a starter was burnt to a crisp, it was actually black, my main which was Veal escalope was extremely chewy, overcooked and had no flavour.

Nice decor , below average food , resonabley priced but nothing special . It was a very special occasion yesterday and frankly I was embarrassed of how bad the food was , the waiters were also unpleasant, go elsewhere

The pizza was very salty and some of the ingredient's were scanty. The salad was dry and had very little taste.

Really nice restaurant, food is amazing, they have suitable children menu, high chairs for little ones. Staff is very accommodating. Usually do not need reservation. Street parking available after 6pm for free.
