We were recommended this restaurant by family who had had it recommended to them. It is a small family run restaurant. The owner was extremely friendly from the moment we walked in. The house wine was very nice and the food was very good. We will definitely be back next time we are in London and it’s close to Waterloo too which is an added bonus.

The gf pizza was tasty. More generally, the food was decent but nothing special and overpriced given the quality of ingredients used (the aubergines in the parmigiana were tough and the bresaola clearly a cheap cut). I’m particularly disappointed that they charge an extra £4 for gf pizzas. Although I’m coeliac and appreciate the abundance of gf options, I won’t be coming back.

Wonderful place, delicious food with majority of the menu being gluten free & suitable for my coeliac husband. Having been to Italy a few times & be dining out with an Italian, we can confirm this is a very authentic Italian. The portions are huge. The staff are all really friendly and welcoming. Overall a coeliacs dream come true & not very far from Waterloo station either!

Awesome authentic Italian food. The first thing we were greeted with was the owner who was so nice and funny. He joked with all the guests and made everyone feel like home. Never tasted such an amazing lasagna. And my son loved the pizza. My family recommends Cotto wholeheartedly! Top notch from experience to taste!

A celiac’s dream! Cotto is one of the best Italian restaurants in London that caters to those who eat gluten free. Rather than feel like a second thought, the free from gluten options are well crafted, and incredibly satisfying. Anyone who is gluten intolerant will know how rare it is to get lasagna or ravioli. However, Cotto has excellent versions that don’t make you feel like you’re missing out! I also appreciate the gluten free bread, and the desserts A must if you’re a fellow flourless foodie!

It is a great restaurant and if you are celiac, for me it is the best in London, it has the entire gluten-free menu and everything is delicious. The owner is a nice and very kind person and the rest of the staff is also very pleasant. We left there delighted, if I return to London we would definitely repeat. It also has a lot of food for vegans.

Very last minute and spontaneously we were looking for a place to grab some dinner and this was just across the road from the tube station we were stood in front of. As I peered through the window, a man (who I presume to be the owner) came out and gestured for us to come inside. They were very accommodating and being greeted with “ciao bella” upon arrival was sweet. It felt very European inside and I loved it. It was an escape from the UK for a couple of hours. The olives (already prepared and put on the centre of every table) were divine! And so was the olive loaf that was offered (for an extra charge) I ordered a glass of house white wine and a seafood linguini. I wasn’t overly impressed with my linguini I’m sad to say and I wasn’t totally convinced it was freshly made. Overall the bill came to £55.50, which I don’t think in London for nibbles, 2 drinks (one of which was wine), two main courses and service charge included that was an unreasonable amount of money.

Gluten free pasta and standard pasta dishes were quite good. Unfortunately, the tuna steak was possibly the worst I’ve ever had. Cooked through - completely dry and brown - and inedible. No employee asked why I hadn’t eaten it when clearing our plates, so I brought it up as I was paying the bill and the employee was dismissive and said, “I don’t know why you’re telling me, you should have told the boss, I’m only his daughter, what do you want me to do.” It was the most expensive thing we ordered and absolutely awful, yet I was going to pay for it without issue (and did!), but the lack of customer service in addition to the poor cooking is disappointing to say the least. Definitely stick to the pasta and be sure not to complain about any issues if you dine here!

The experience here was disappointing overall. Although the staff spoke a little English, it was still difficult to communicate effectively.

Un montón de comida italiana maravillosa con muchos gluten - opciones libres incluyendo pizza fresca y pasta. Mi marido comió de las opciones ordinarias (sin gluten) y dijo que la comida era genial. Comí del menú g - f, que era extenso - un placer - y todo cocinado en un gluten dedicado separado - cocina gratuita para evitar la contaminación cruzada. Muy recomendable.

I was looking forward to a dinner here as I heard great things regarding GF food. We made reservations for 4 people for 20:45, last of us arrived at 20:40 only to be talked rudely by the waiter. We were told from all the GF options on the menu they could only make the pizza GF because they closed the kitchen (?). Why allow for a 20:45 pm reservation then in the first place? Cannot comment on the food as we left without ordering but horrible service.

AVOID AT ALL COST. We booked a table for 20:45 today for a party of 4, as our friend was celiac, we (2 ppl) arrived first and sat down, no one came down to take our drinks order, the first contact we had with the waiter was when he came down to say "Are your friends even coming? Kitchen is closing, so...?", then when our friends came the waiter said "you can only have pizza, no pasta and no risotto, kitchen is closing" so we argued why did they let us book so late. The waiter (older man) was rude and the lady manager said 'oh well, what did you expect!?' then later on they told us you cant pay with card as we only had drinks, so we need to go take cash out.We argued that in the menu minimum card payment is 10£ and they let us pay then. RUDE and UNPROFESSIONAL.

La peor lasaña que he comido y el personal más oxidado. El hombre mayor me preguntó si había terminado cuando apenas había comido algo y le dije que no, que no estaba muy bueno. Luego me preguntó si podía hacerlo mejor, a lo que dije absolutamente. La mujer más joven dijo entonces que yo era ofensivo, ya que esta era una receta de 100 años. Señalé que prácticamente no había carne ni queso en la lasaña, si hubiera estado al frente, habría señalado que sabía como había estado sentado durante 100 años. Este lugar es una inmersión, con comida de mierda y personal horrible, evitar.

Food was very average. Tinned salmon. Not freshly made. We told our party of 7 had to split our order across pizza and pasta, as the two chefs couldn't manage a big order of one type of dish. They charged us £10 for bread and butter, and olives that we had not asked for but were already on the table. As we were away on business, we needed to pay individually and they wanted to charge us £3 each for paying by card, which has been illegal in the UK for some years. I eat away for business alot, across the UK and have never had issues paying individually. Rude service. Needless to say I will not be back. Which is a shame for the restaurant as we are staying for three weeks just round the corner, and they will miss out on our business.

Visited Cotto for the first time last week with my sister and we were not disappointed! My sister has a wheat allergy so I spent a long time researching restaurants in London which were good with allergies, and I have to say Cotto is the best restaurant we've ever visited for this. The owner has celiac and started the business because he was afraid of eating out in other restaurants (most don't have a great attitude towards allergies). It was very refreshing to talk to someone who knows that a wheat allergy is not the same as gluten free! Almost the entire menu could be done wheat free (they cater for a variety of allergies), and my sister was so happy to have so many options to choose from, including freshly made pasta! They also had lovely wheat free (and gluten free) bread. We both chose the same main course (one wheat free) and my sister also had a wheat free cheesecake. The food was all delicious and the service was great! We'll definitely be back next time we're visiting London! This is a small local family run business so please support them, I wish we lived closer as this is definitely somewhere we would visit frequently! If you are nervous about eating out with a food allergy then this is the place for you! Thank you for a lovely and worry free meal!

The least customer- and tourist-friendly place I've ever been. Just feel like it deserves a heads-up for anyone unaware of the experience here. I hope your experience is different and wonderful, if you do go! The food was delicious. The male manager and the atmosphere were both the worst I've ever encountered in a long time. I'm not sure if this is temporary or not, but it's basically a long hallway with tables crammed into it that was so cacophonously loud and echoing we had to shout at each other the entire dinner. Couldn't hear the person next to me at our own table. A kitchen assistant of some kind came up to our table with a huge tray of bread and just stood there and literally barely spoke when we tried to ask questions, which made us feel really confused and self-conscious. We were just trying to ask how many pieces we could/should take. We should have taken more as they never returned with it. Our water was also never once refilled -- they only are attentive to those who order alcohol. It was sweltering, despite them supposedly having the AC on, and we were extremely hot having walked there. I recognize as Americans we are used to cooler temps but we were truly dripping in sweat and it was even hotter inside than out, so I asked politely to keep my menu as a fan until I was able to cool down; while the woman manager was nice enough and had zero problems with this, not ten minutes later the man manager (owner?) was incredibly rude and literally was arguing with me and tried to take it from my hand while I wasn't looking. It was like he couldn't deal with me having it, just on principle, not for any real reason. It's not as if they were in a drought for menus! Only 20 people can even fit in that restaurant. I hope it was an off day for them, but felt like a heads-up was warranted.

As a coeliac, the food was very good for me (separate kitchen for gluten free food) - although it was quite a bit more expensive for gluten free dishes (about £4 more expensive). However, I was disappointed by the service. We felt rushed during the meal, and then at the end, just as we were calculating how to spilt the bill (and we’d only been there about 1 hour), a member of staff came up to us and just told us we needed to leave. A disappointing end to the evening and made me not want to return.

We were staying at the Marlin Waterloo and we decided to visit Cotto for dinner on our last night in London. It's just steps away from our hotel and while we chose it for convenience, it was some of the best food we had on our trip. We made a reservation, which I highly recommend doing as it is a small restaurant, we arrived a bit early and they were able to seat us almost immediately. It's is clearly a family run restaurant in the best possible way. Regular customers came in while we were there and they were so warmly greeted and we, as tourists, were taken care of with just as much warmth and care. We had their home made bread to start, which I think I could write a love letter to, along with the Insalata Caprese. The Caprese was so fresh, and beautiful to look at. I had the Rigatoni Matrigiana and was blown away by the fresh, flavorful sauce. My spouse had the Spaghetti Carbonara, I stole a bite and found it to be rich, creamy and decadent. He is a bit traditional, and while he enjoyed it greatly, he did comment that traditional carbonara doesn't include cream in the sauce. (I think I liked this version better! I have had a hard time with carbonara being bitter in the past and heavy feeling.) We finished our meals with a Crostata Limone and a Tiramisu and a glass of port each. Both desserts were clearly homemade and perfectly fresh. The Crostata was light and fresh with wonderful lemon flavor. The tiramisu was creamy and had clear coffee flavors that stole the show. Overall a wonderful meal and a wonderful way to bookend our last night in London.

It was so nice to go somewhere that my daughter (who has coeliacs disease) both felt safe and had a huge menu choice - she is so used to having to compromise. The staff here are so friendly - a friendly welcome and the chap (who I think was the owner) checking in with us re allergies and being very attentive. Everyone enjoyed their food - between us we had pizz, calzone (not GF) and a savoury crepe. Tiramisu was good too. Great location - a bit hard to spot currently due to scaffolding. Will definitely be back.

+ Super tasty pizzas (Primavera, Cotto, Salame) - rather unfriendly service (the boss grimaced slightly because you only ordered 3 soft drinks) Way too many service employees. This makes it uncomfortable. You felt stressed because you had the feeling that you had to be "handled" as quickly as possible. 6 GBP (1.50 pp) for the coperto AND 10% forced tip is cheeky! We paid extra in cash. The change of 0.90 GBP was “forgotten” to bring. We left it at that. It's not about the 0.90 GBP, it's about the principle if you were already forced to tip 12.50 GBP. loud, uncomfortable atmosphere. We as a family would definitely not come here again because we were given the feeling that we weren't making enough sales. Better to go back to the grocery store to get dinner than to lose £75 and no one is happy at the end. Sorry, with the best will in the world we couldn't order a whole portion per child. There were already leftovers because we ordered too much because of a “guilty conscience”.

Pizzen waren gut. Sonst gibt es nichts Positives. Eher unfreundliche Bedienung (Chefin verzog leicht das Gesicht, weil man nur 3 Softdrinks bestellte). Viel zu viele Service-Angestellte. Dadurch ungemütlich. Man fühlte sich gestresst, weil man das Gefühl bekommt, möglichst schnell "abgefertigt" werden zu müssen. 6 GBP (1.50 p.P.) für das Coperto UND 10 % erzwungenes Trinkgeld sind frech! Wir haben extra bar bezahlt. Das Wechselgeld von 0.90 GBP wurde "vergessen" zu bringen. Wir beliessen es dabei. Es geht nicht um die 0.90 GBP, sondern ums Prinzip, wenn man schon zu 12.50 GBP Trinkgeld gezwungen wurde. Lautes ungemütliches Ambiente. Plastiktische. Wir würden als Familie hier auf keinen Fall nochmals kommen, weil uns das Gefühl vermittelt wurde, zu wenig Umsatz zu machen. Lieber wieder im Lebensmittelladen das Abendessen besorgen, als 75 GBP los zu werden und niemand ist am Schluss glücklich. Sorry, wir konnten beim besten Willen nicht pro Kind eine ganze Portion bestellen. Es gab so schon Reste, weil wir wegen "schlechtem Gewissen" zu viel bestellt hatten.

If you are Coeliac this is an absolute must visit. It's saved in my Google maps favourites and I intend to visit every chance I get when visiting the city. The host is exactly what you would expect from a small, boutique Italian restaurant. Friendly, personable, full of character and clearly somebody who loves what he does. The food was delicious, service was fast and attentive, and the atmosphere is apparent the second you walk through the door. I can't remember the last time I had eight desert options, and I honestly would have paid double. Loved every minute I was here.

This place is so amazing! The owner is celiac himself and makes you feel like family as soon as you arrive. The entire staff our so attentive and kind. On top of that the food is delicious and prepared in a separate kitchen so you have endless options that are safely gluten free

Food was sooooooo good! I ordered the rigatoni matrigiana and it was delicious, added some fresh parmesan and pepper on top and it added to the tastiness. 😋

This is a classic Italian place worth visiting many times. I recommend the Bresaola and Buffalo as a starter and any tomato-based pasta for pasta. I have not tried the pizzas yet, as the pasta is really good and large enough.

Really loved this place! The owner is rather lovely and chatted to me about being a coeliac. My non-gluten free friend also really enjoyed the food here.

This restaurant has a family feeling with the staff who takes time to talk with you and to get interested in your story. About the food, the many options of vegan and gluten free food are a very good point, I took a pizza with vegan cheese and I really enjoyed it. Overall it's yummy and I had a good time!

We had the best dinner there. The red sauce is amazing. They shared the recipe is over 100 years old. They were more than accommodating for my family’s gluten allergies. The staff was attentive and very kind. I would recommend to anyone who is craving a fabulous Italian dinner.

Yesterday was the first time we went to this place. But It is no doubt not the last time. We enjoyed the evening very much with the courteous service, with the high quality meal and fine drinks and with the friendly cost. We will surely go back there soon.

When they ran out of oranges for fresh juice, they divided one glass of juice into two right in front of me and filled each glass with so much ice that the cup was full of ice and only half-filled with juice. They handed these glasses to me and my wife, each containing less than 100 ml of juice and packed with ice, right at the counter where just a second ago, they served a normal, full glass of orange juice without ice to the previous customer. I politely asked if this was acceptable and received the response, ‘What’s wrong with that? I just felt like adding some ice for you.’ They managed to ruin our mood and any desire to visit this café again in less than a minute.
