A traditional Italian restaurant, the food is of very high quality and the service is excellent. The atmosphere is filled with Italian motifs carefully chosen by the restaurant owner. It's a bright and airy restaurant. The restaurant is open to everyone and is ideal for large groups. It's especially great for birthday celebrations. The food is quite generous. I think it's among the best restaurants in North London. It also has a very special clientele, especially the players and coaches of North London's football teams. The kitchen prepares its dishes with care. I especially recommend trying the calves liver. The prices are very reasonable. Lunch is also extended until 5:30, and the two-course meal is very generous, only £14.95. The prices are incredible. You should also try the homemade desserts. The restaurant team is also very polite and professional. Well done Cocorico!!!

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.

Cocorico is definitely one of my most favorite restraunt localy & one of the best local Italian restraunt in London. Portion is usually quite big, very reasonable price, it's not a quite fancy Italian restraunt in Chelsea so on (sorry) tho. but it's a proper Italian local restraunt - no fusion, no fake, where serving fresh seafood dishes, traditonal pizza, great 'Al dente' pasta. I'm such a seafood lover - you must try delicious Italian seafood dishes in here - forget about chips & burgers!! (even they're serving them..) They also have great Italian coffee, homemade tiramisu, Italian gelato & even serving Italian water - they all tasty. The photos we ordered is £51 for 2 people - fish & meat & vege Mix Antipasto. It was all delicious on it, all different tasty choices, we quite impressed. Service is ok - sometimes very slow, but the staff are all friendly & kids friendly as well. Lastly add one more my favorite part of Cocorico - the bath room are always clean & well taking care, I really like it. Highly recommend to someone seafood lover & love 'proper' Italian cuisine!

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

This was honestly one of the best Italian meals I’ve ever had! The food was full of authentic flavor, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. Every bite reminded me of Italy — fresh ingredients, rich sauces, and perfect seasoning. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to all my friends. If you love real Italian food, this restaurant is a must-visit!

We have come here a few times and honestly can’t fault the place. The food is always incredible and good value for money with good sized portions. They also do a lunch menu until 5:30pm which is well worth it. I would particularly recommend the lasagne, it is homemade and very hearty. A big thank you to our waiter Boru who was very attentive and friendly and made our spicy margarita cocktails which were incredible. Highly recommended
