Cotto Restaurant in Bury

So we came back this evening for our second meal this month. The food was wonderful, the service brilliant. Thank you for the surprise panacotta to celebrate our daughter's 12th birthday. Both our daughters really enjoyed it! We will definitely return later in the year. Highly recommended for a great experience!

Amazing food, staff very attentive and a very enjoyable evening

What an amazing Experience. Feel Like being in the Italian countryside in a cozy ambiance, classy and inviting home? Cotto is your spot! We started with a delicious Burrata and Garlic Bread! Cheers! Delicious and generous! Every one of our menu selections was amazing! Pastas will melt in your mouth, best Salmon pasta I’ve ever had! so generous we could not finish everything! And under $100£ total, seemed very reasonable for dining in a beautiful setting with mouth watering food! Well done! Love this place! Will definitely return!!

Great food and wine and impeccable service, especially on Mothers Day. With grown up boys the portion sizes were well recieved. We will definitely be back!

Simply great from start to finish. The Cotto was an extremely positive surprise for us. We had reserved a very friendly welcome and were given a table by the window. We were given very good advice and the food we ordered was a 10/10. The restaurant was very well attended and we found it very positive. We were definitely not here for the last time. Kind regards from Switzerland

Booked last minute with friends and I enquired over the phone if there were many fish choices, as we are pescetarians and was pleased to hear there were 3 or 4 choices , one being my favourite: halibut. After a few minutes wait at the bar we were shown to our table. About 25 mins later a waitress came to take our order and being late we decided to dispense with a starter and order just main courses. So we ordered 3 halibut and 1 sea bass. A further wait of 20 mins later, the head waiter came to our table and, without offering an apology, informed us there was only one halibut left and no sea bass. This was disappointing, especially after having waited almost an hour since arrival. to be informed. We settled to order the one portion of halibut remaining and have 2 portions of salmon and a pasta dish instead, stressing emphatically that we could not have the salmon with prawns which our waitress noted. Twenty minutes later our food arrived only to discover the salmon was served, despite our explicit request.... with prawns.!! At almost 10pm, we were in no mood to wait for 2 fresh portions to be cooked without prawns and our patience was worn thin. Ultimately, we got to speak to the manager, who yet again didn't seem at all apologetic but did explain the order was served to us in error which was for a different table (goodness knows when we would have received the right order!) so we decided to leave and ate elsewhere, which living locally, we will continue to do.....

Exceptional service, the BEST tomato garlic bread, pasta was delicious with fresh ingredients and the chocolate fondant was huge and tasty. Great wine. Starters seemed pricey, we didn't order any so can't comment if they are worth the price but the rest of the menu was reasonably priced. Looking forward to returning to try more of their food and we have already recommended Cotto to others.

My second visit to Cotto was for my cousin's Baby Shower in the upstairs room, I had the Aubergine Rigatoni which was delicious alojg with the Courgettefries (again). My sis had the Mushroom Risotto and loved it.

I cannot speak highly enough about this restaurant. The service, as well as the food, could hardly be bettered. I think it’s the only restaurant where the waiter shook my hand as I left! Great ambience and decor too. It was a very cold day, but we were placed in a heated area which really helped. I had lobster ravioli - absolutely delicious, and obviously a massive cut above any ravioli I’ve ever had before. A delicious bread selection. Panna cotta which was quite possibly the best I’ve ever had. Delicious wine. I cannot fault anything. It does seem authentically Italian, and the menu is extensive and interesting. I would say this is a contender for the best Italian meal I’ve ever had. Go now! You won’t regret it. The car park is behind the restaurant and the available spaces are signed.

On the whole we enjoyed our meal but there were a few snags. Restaurant was empty and we were the first seated. We had to holla for a drink which surprised us since they had no one else in. Service seems a little flat and lacked warmth and personality. Starter of tomato garlic bread was delicious as were the chicken and veal mains although I did have to send back my broccoli side that had been cooked within an inch of its life. Desert affogato was lovely but overpriced in our opinion. The old fashioned cocktail was perfectly executed and went down a treat. We would return but staff do lack that personal touch that it so needs. This place certainly has potential.

Had a wonderful experience today, the food and service was wonderful - we will definitely be coming back soon ))

Went tonight with my wife excellent food and service and I must say that was the best sea bass I’ve ever had definitely recommend and we will use again

Absolutely fabulous night at Cotto tonight for a family birthday celebration. Excellent food and staff are superb! Would highly recommend!

Food is fresh any delicious. Excellent starters, pasta and steaks. Nice decor and atmosphere. A great addition to the local area, best Italian in Whitefield by far.

Visited on Boxing Day evening. Excellent food and superb staff. Beautiful surroundings in the conservatory. We will be back soon

The four of us had a very good evening meal. Very good menu choice of popular Italian dishes. The service was welcoming, professional and efficient. The food was good quality ingredients cooked to a high standard. A good selection of drinks at very reasonable prices. We would highly recommend this Italian if in the area versus others nearby where we would only rate as average at best.

We visit Cotto every couple of weeks . It’s the BEST Italian in Whitefield hands down. I am half Italian myself who regularly visits Italy so I know what good Italian food should be and Cotto is fantastic. The food, the lovely smiley and friendly staff are 5 stars. We love it here, don’t even think about going to the other Italian restaurants in the are A because this one wins over and over !!!!

Great restaurant and tasty food. I found it a little noisy due to it being completely full. Good staff, there is a car park at the rear but it gets full quickly at weekend. We will go again. There was five of us for a three course dinner, £200.

Lovely restaurant with really nice food and friendly staff. I had the Mushroom Risotto it was really filling along with the courgette fries which we're tasty too :) My sister had the Chicken pizza which looked nice also. As a local I would definitely visit Cotto again.

This restaurant is definitely the best in the area, friendly and attentive service, fantastic food and a really nice ambience. There was four of us and it was perfect. My fillet steak was cooked perfectly and the chocolate fondant was amazing, recommended by the attractive waiter! I’d definitely return and highly recommend!

This restaurant has gone from my favourite new restaurant to my never ever again restaurant. 1st visit was great, perfect table, great service and great food. 2nd visit got put on the worst table in the place right next to the bar, facing the toilets despite booking 2 weeks in advance asking for a front table. 3rd visit got put back on the worst table facing toilets again. All this even though I booked a good 7/10 days in advance and I was flexible with my time. Cost me £100 in taxis to watch people got to the toilet all night. Was offered to go upstairs but that was so noisy with a large celebration going on. Even a family of 6 came down from up there due to the over powering bigger party. You don’t seem to listen to customer requirements. I can see absolutely no reason why I couldn’t have the table I requested or a mid restaurant table. You knew full well I didn’t want the table you put me on cos I told the lady multiple times when I booked oh and Please don’t tell me it’s “ one of them nights “ and patronise me further. Why would I want to watch people going to the toilet all night whilst trying to enjoy a nice family meal. Overall not enjoyable at all despite much forward planning on my behalf and I will never ever return.

Fantastic food brilliant staff so attentive 2nd time still great.So nice to find a good authentic Italian restaurant. Well done your food is magnificent.

Fantastic restaurant. Very relaxing atmosphere with only appropriate choice of music. Food was tasty - really enjoyed it

1st time eating at Cotto. Despite being very busy (there were 2 large groups dining when I was there) the service was very good. Probably one of the best risotto di mare’s I’ve had, there was so much seafood!

We had a working lunch and I can honestly say I’ve never had such a tasty lunch given the menu and the value. The Gamberoni Tagliatelle was filled with fresh prawns beautiful delicate sauce and the spinach side was superb. Even the soft drink was ice cold very high quality ingredients here and superb attention to detail. Such a great experience and fulfilling last minute lunch we will definitely be returning

Good food service bit slow no very attentive eager when you arrive but no follow up service great interior worth another visit

First time eating at Cotto....service 100%....food 100% i will defo back to eat here again....MWAH 🤌🤌

First time and already booked my next visit. Warm and welcoming, lovely atmosphere and amazing food. Large portion size which could easily be shared by 2. Good range of dishes, cocktails and wines.

I booked here having seen great reviews but wasn’t expecting too much. We walked from our accommodation in Whitefield to Cotto. We commented that if the area was anything to go by, we would remain sceptical. We needn’t have worried. We received a warm welcome, enjoyed amazing food in lovely surroundings, with good service and left discussing what excuse we could use to return to the area so we could go back to this wonderful place.

We booked a large table for 15 to celebrate my daughters 40th birthday. So as you can imagine the staff had a lot to do , keeping us topped up with drinks and food. They did a brilliant job looking after us all and the...

My friend booked Cotto at 7.30 on Saturday evening. It's a nice restaurant but the tables are quite small for 4 people. It was absolutely packed and extremely noisy so having a conversation was difficult. We haven't been out together for over a year so it was a bit disappointing that we couldn't all have a conversation. I had the Penne pasta with asparagus & salmon. There was too much pasta and hardly any salmon, just tiny bits. I can't remember what the others had but they were all pasta dishes. We all had dessert, me and hubby had the cheesecake which was quite different to any we have had before because it had a sort of jelly on it. One had Panna cota and one had Tiramasu. The staff were really nice and the waiter was funny. He apologised for how rammed the restaurant was. But personally, I am not sure I would go back. I much prefer Vero Moderno in Salford and Ciao Napoli in Bolton.

Great food and atmosphere, very busy but service great, especially our waiter Anthony. Will definitely be returning

Relaxed vibe, even though busy, attentive staff, food very well cooked (calamari- not chewy!) Quality ingredients used and pricing very reasonable for quality and quantity, garlic bread with tomatoe a must!, well done to the team here will return.

My daughter held her baby shower at Cotto and it was excellent l couldn't find fault with it. The food was top notch and the staff are welcoming and super efficient. I would highly recommend the restaurant whether it be for a meal or an event!

First visit to Cotto after a recommendation. The food was delicious, the wine superb, the service very pleasant with the staff knowing when to engage and when to leave you to it. All in all a great experience and already looking forward to a second visit.

I’ve been to cotto four times now and the food has been exceptional each time. The service is excellent and you are made to feel very welcome which I think makes such a refreshing change to the many main stream restaurants where you are barely...

I reviewed this lovely restaurant back in January '23 and was hugely impressed by the food, the choice, the service the ambience etc etc and did suggest that whist it was pretty newly opened in Whitefield, and whilst so many eateries have come and gone,...

Went with my boyfriend for dinner and the food was delicious! Literally didn’t have to wait that long either and everything tasted so fresh. Will definitely be coming back.

This is a great restaurant with great service.

Our 3rd visit to this restaurant but 1st with new owner/management. What a difference, we’ve been eating out in Whitefield for yrs and we’re delighted to find the transformation in this restaurant. Our table was looked after by Anthony and Eva, the best waiting staff...

Had an excellent experience here. Staff were friendly and attentive and the food was phenomenonal.

Just had a lovely evening at Cotto in Whitefield, our first time and will definitely not be the last, the food was lovely and the service was very personalised and attentive. The restaurant has a lovely ambiance, clean modern and relaxing. We ate the salmon pasta and seafood rissota which was cooked to perfection, my husband said the Tiramassu was the best he had ever tasted. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

My only complaint is the food is far too good but that's nothing compared to the service all in all fresh food wrapped up with fresh friendly faces a dream to dine there thank you Cotto

Fantastic food prawn starter with home baked bread infused with garlic lemon yummy lovely restaurant brilliant service will be back

delicious food, lovely staff, great atmosphere!

This restaurant is so lovely and has a great atmosphere, the food is unbelievable and so worth it for the price! the staff are so kind and service is 10/10, will be coming back often !😊

Cotto consistently exceeds expectations with its warm welcome, outstanding fresh Italian cuisine, and exceptional service. The team goes above and beyond to ensure a perfect dining experience, and the food is truly amazing. From generous portions of delectable pasta dishes like spinach and ricotta ravioli to mouth-watering Pollo Ruspante, every bite is a delight. The restaurant also offers a fair selection of vegetarian options. With such fantastic flavours and a brilliant overall experience, I highly recommend it to others.

Beautiful food, a great atmosphere and wonderful service! Thank you for a wonderful evening, absolutely perfect!

Omg this place is amazing. The food is delicious. Great selection on drinks and the staff are friendly and welcoming. Right on our doorstep. Will definitely be returning

Our first time here. Food was absolutely gorgeous. Scallop and aranchini balls to start and lobster ravioli for mains. Affogato and Panacota for deserts. Can't fault the food at all. Scrumptious and at a reasonable price. Our waiter I think his name was Anthony was...

Just had an amazing impromptu date night at Cotto this evening. Despite not having a booking, we were warmly welcomed and seated promptly.

Well, what can I say other than Thank you Dardan and your team for hosting my event yesterday in your beautiful restaurant. I booked for 22 people to attend for a meal as a work event, from my first enquiry to the end of the evening nothing was too much trouble. Food was amazing, the Sea Bass was 2 large fillets on a generous bed of wilted spinach & salsa verde, stunning! Everyone enjoyed the food and could not believe how generous the portions were. We are all definitely returning with our friends and family. Thanks again for hosting my event and making it such a fantastic experience! Highly recommend!

The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, with beautiful decor and soft lighting that created a relaxing and intimate atmosphere. The food at Cotto was simply divine. Every dish was expertly crafted, with an incredible balance of flavors and textures that left me feeling fully satisfied and happy. The menu was diverse and offered a range of options that catered to a variety of tastes and dietary preferences. I was particularly impressed by the quality of the ingredients, which were fresh and locally sourced, and the attention to detail in the presentation of each dish. Overall, I highly recommend Cotto to anyone looking for an amazing eating experience. The combination of outstanding food, warm hospitality, and beautiful ambiance makes this restaurant a true gem in the culinary world.

Ordered dinner for collection 2 nights in a row. Delicious food cooked extremely quickly! For a reasonable price too. Didn't eat inside the restaurant but staff were friendly when I collected the food. Also the decoration and atmosphere is lovely inside. Terrific Italian restaurant.

We celebrated our son's 18th here, Such a nice setting to do so, The food was superb, The customer service was incredible. 35 People attended that didn't affect the service at all. Thank you to you all for helping us celebrate.

First time dining at Cotta tonight. Blown away by how tasty the food was. The Arancini was so fresh and soft. I also had the spinach and ricotta ravioli for the first time and was very happy with it. The star of the show was the smoothest and softest velvet panna cotta. Brilliant restaurant and would definitely come back and recommend to others!

Second visit to this lovely restaurant, whilst there are plenty to choose from in Whitefield, most are just average. The calamari starter was the nicest I’ve ever tasted, it melted in your mouth. Hubby had the Halibut and saffron risotto I had the corn fed...
