Had the BEST time this evening. We walked in with a party of 6, and due to reservations we had to sit on the patio. We were originally worried about the cold, but Cocozza accommodated us excellently!! They brought us each blankets to sit under while we ate, and had heaters running on the patio which helped to keep us warm. Koby greeted us quickly with water, offered whatever drinks we would like, and also had great non alcoholic options as I am pregnant. ☺️ Highly recommend the Limonata Italian soda! The cheesy garlic bread was delicious, and I absolutely loved the Vodka Rigatoni. It was amazing. My mother also thoroughly enjoyed the filet mignon. Koby was attentive, checked on us frequently, and was very personable even in the cold! The desserts were wonderful, we loved the tiramisu and the cannolis. Would highly recommend dining at Cocozza, and you should ask for Koby! :)
Cannot rave enough about my experience at this place. Every staff member was friendly and attentive, the valet was wonderful, and the owner was present which I always love to see. It is currently decorated for Christmas and just the whole atmosphere felt like I was in a hallmark movie. And the food…wow! Best chicken piccata I have ever had, and the appetizers were also delicious. I came across this place on a business trip and searched google for restaurants with the best mocktails. The lemon basil spritz was fantastic. Refreshing but not too sweet or sour. I 10/10 recommend Cocozza!
The entrees here are presented nicely and look good however they are lacking in taste. Everything here is bland. Chicken Parmesan is very bland. Reminds me of Hospital food. Lacks seasoning. The Marinera Sauce tastes like it came straight out of a can. Overall the food here is Fair at best and certainly not worth the price.
We are from out of town and found this place on Google maps. It was a Monday and we didn’t have reservations, but they were still able to accommodate us at the bar. Franklin the bartender was amazing! He was super busy but he was also very attentive to everything we needed!! The food was all amazing, and such large portions!! We will definitely be back next time we are in Memphis!
So I’m in Memphis for the first time ever and decided to dig up an Italian joint… Let me tell you how amazing this spot is! I started off with some crispy eggplant fries with some marinara sauce, super light and tons of flavor, wow! Then got my cab to start off before my entree; ordered vodka rigatoni with grilled chicken and Italian sausage… super flavorful and creamy, amazing!!! I had some space for desert and ordered the Amaretto Flan! For Pete’s sake, yum to the yum yum yum!!! You find yourself in Memphis, you better pays these guys a visit! The staff is amazing!!! I’m coming back!!! The ambience is classy and the music is perfect over dinner!!! I promise you will love this place. Parking was relatively easy. I also heard from the bar tender the owners have a joint called Majestic Grille… I’m coming so stay tuned!!!
