   Fabulous modern Italian cooking. Great ambience and friendly atmosphere. Light and airy, bistro-style. Lunch, dinner or a coffee. Lovely.

   Good quality food but over priced for what you get, I paid 15.50 for a calamari stater, which consisted of about 6 small rings of squid on a base of Rocket leaves, with a side of dip. Nice but so expensive. Pizza was nice but small for the price of 16.

   Lovely restaurant in the heart of Hereford. The service was outstanding. Lovely, friendly staff who couldn’t do enough for us. The food was amazing so please do not be put off by the small menu. It is well worth a visit and we would definitely go back.

   Found the decor to be very appealing, good start. The table service was second to none, staff very friendly and welcoming. The menu was very limited, being a italian restaurant you would expect a greater variety of pasta dishes. The starters were good, then we both selected pizzas because of the restricted pasta dishes. The pizzas were poor, my wifes Margarita was soggy based and not very tasty, it wasn't very appetising. My spicey sausage pizza was quite tasty, well the topping was but the base was bland. We both had nice sweets, but overall we were both disappointed with the dining experience and we have agreed we will not be returning.

   A little disappointing. The food was OK, but distinctly ‘average’ and not worth the exorbitant prices. Our two mains were over cooked: prawns had turned to mush and sausage had burnt in the pan. At £18 for a main course, one expects something better than one can cook at home. The service was fine, although the hostess was working noticeably harder than her staff. The main problem was that the kitchen is on full show—not usually a problem, but in this case we were able to see the utter chaos in the kitchen and overhear the rather loud disagreements between the cooks and the front-of-house. Not a very relaxing experience and we won’t be returning.

    Cotto is an average Italian inspired restaurant. The starter (sardines) was okay, but stingy for the price. The mains were okay: palatable, but nothing special. The woman at the next table enjoyed her pizza, we had pasta. Not really to our taste, but many may like it. Lovely simple decor. Pleasant wait staff.

    Like so many places obviously understaffed, ordered cocktails at the bar whilst we waited for our party to join us, it took a full 20 minutes to get our drinks. The menu was very limited compared to their on-line typical menu, with very few meat options, that said the food when it arrived was delicious. If you don’t love seafood dishes then extra limited. Would not rush back, as the service although pleasant was just too slow.

    The food was lovely, but service was quite slow - however, we understand that they were short - staffed on the night, so this was probably a one-off.

    A little disappointed after this visit. We checked the online menu beforehand but the menu on the evening was missing the food that we were hoping to order. Apparently certain items are removed on weekends as take more time to make? Confusing as I would imagine that is the best time to offer their best menu.? Desert menu all very similar options. Did not have the drinks we wanted on the evening either as had sold out. Waitress was lovely but service was slow. Food we ordered was ok once arrived.

    Parked around the corner free on-road. Welcomed and shown conservatory table first, but then opted for inside table which suited us better, no problem to move us. Menu choices good, given sample glasses of wine before choosing. food delicious with friendly service.

    Not as good as usual. Was told we were unable to order pizza due to a dough issue only to find out it was still available and on the menu. Lobster pasta pretty salty. Salmon pasta not great. This has been a favourite go to restaurant recently and one to look forward to. Maybe just one of those evenings.

    Lovely looking restaurant but unfortunately the food does not live up to the same standards. Only one vegetarian option from the mains and absolutely no regard for any dietary requirements for my friend who was served food with something she is allergic to after being told it didn't. The waiting staff were lovely though. Expensive and disappointing. Would not recommend. I think they need to up their game.

    Avoid at all costs. Waited an unacceptable hour and twenty minutes for our 3 main courses (having chased for them several times). When they finally arrived, they were absolutely disgusting - Parmigiana was a sloppy bowl of tasteless mush and the Papardelle Ragu looked equally unappetising and had a very strange ‘chemical’ taste and smell to it. Both of these meals were inedible. The steak was cooked as requested but hidden under a bag of salad leaves and a total rip-off at £25. We decided to cut our losses and leave, so asked to speak to the Manager to register our extreme disappointment and frustration about the whole evening. To say he missed the class in Charm School when it comes to dealing with customers is a spectacular understatement. Rather than apologise and try and make things right, he rudely asked me whether I even knew what Parmigiana was. Excuse me?? He then went on to say he was from Naples and knew exactly how it should be served; that he served over 50 dishes of it each day and had never had a complaint. I pointed out that he had one now. Long and short of it was we told them we’d pay for the starters and drinks we’d had but we were not prepared to pay for the main courses that we’d left uneaten. The waitresses were brilliant and incredibly apologetic so hats off to them for trying to put things right. After a lot of wrangling about the bill, we left. We will not be returning.

    Food was absolutely fantastic, all staff members were excellent and so pleasant. Only thing we thought could be improved was the timing. We waited over 90 minutes for our main which left us 20 before parking was up. Chefs were flat out and working hard but maybe they need either more people cooking or less guests in 🤷 overall tho food was definitely on point 👍

    We loved the style of Cotto, especially the cocktail bar. The wait for food was a little longer than we would have liked but understandable in the current circumstances. Everyone in the party enjoyed their meal and we will definitely return. If you like Italian food you will not be disappointed.
