    Chicken piccata
    Lynette H.

    Such a cute place! I went for dinner with my colleagues last week and w head a great time. The staff was so nice, accommodating, and gave us great service. We ordered the garlic bread as an appetizer and omg I want to eat this every day of my life. The dipping sauce is incredible. I ordered the chicken piccata - it was delish! Came with a side of pasta with read sauce. A number of my friends ordered the vodka rigatoni and they were all very pleased! I can't wait to go back!

    Incredible experience. The lasagna was the best I have ever had-comforting, flavorful, and perfectly executed. Cocktails were bold and delicious. Franklin the bartender did an outstanding job. The entire staff were super friendly. Amazing Italian food all made fresh daily. A must visit.

    I ordered my spaghetti marinara with a rigatoni noodle..

    My expectations for this place were out of this world: my son and wife ate here two nights in a row when they came to visit University of Tennessee Medical School.... They both proclaimed it to be the best Italian food they have ever eaten, and my wife is half Italian!!!!! Like holy crap, right??? For me, it was pretty good .... The house salad was my favorite part of the meal. I had the spaghetti marinara and the sauce had some heat in it that took away from the flavor. They both loved the vodka rigatoni, and the chicken Parm..... Tiny and homey inside. Can be very loud if you were in the wrong part of the restaurant. We lucked out and had one of the very few booths. My son says it cheapens a restaurant to give out free bread, but I would've appreciated some bread to eat with my salad ..... Also strange that they serve soft drinks in cans and no brewed iced tea... Service was perfect. We will surely be back for reason stated at the beginning of this review ....

    Delicious! Cocozza is a perfect choice for on the island dining. The staff were friendly and very attentive to our needs! Our cups were never dry! We got the bruschetta as our appetizer and I would highly recommend! The balsamic dressing was delicious. We also shared the Eggplant Parmesan and it was so good! We both ate our fill and still had leftovers! I can't wait to visit again!

    Chicken parm
    Rod E.

    Alright alright... The lady & I had a craving for Italian and this scratched the itch for suuuurrreee. I had the chicken parm which was fantastic, but her pasta???? Maaaaannnn. 10/10. Also added some garlic bread as a side. I forget our server's name but he was also fantastic. Great atmosphere too loved the holiday decorations. Had a great time

    Delightfully cute place on the island. All of the employees were friendly, and we were greeted with kindness and hospitality at entry. We made a reservation for our party and table was ready at arrival-- must call for parties 5 or more. Our server, Cici, went above and beyond with suggestions and service. The expansive menu options made it hard to pick, so we all ordered something different to share a fork bite. For the main, we ordered the lasagna, rigatoni, and tortellini. Absolutely rich and delicious dishes. For dessert, we ordered the chocolate chip cannolis and lemon new york cheesecake. Absolutely tasty options with the americano. Overall, I would highly recommend. We forgot we were in Memphis and felt like we travelled to Italy for the evening.

    Fantastic service, wonderful menu selection, excellent service. Very popular place. Sat at the bar. Food arrived very quickly. Nothing bad to say. Definitely will return.

    Am I in Italy rn? Sure feels like it! Such a great spot with fresh pasta. Their restaurant is put together so nicely and the food is fantastic. Serving sizes are generous and you'll always leave with leftovers. Great spot for a dinner outside!

    Bruschetta
    Shana W.

    The LASAGNA!! Someone stole their grandma recipe lol!! The salad was good too. Tomatoes and olives were so fresh! I don't even like olives but I ate a few of those lol. The waitress gave great recommendations on food and wine. As well as a taste tester before I committed on the wine. The atmosphere is so cute and packed for a Monday!

    We were staying in the neighborhood and decided to finally try some of the local places. I mean who doesn't love a neighborhood pasta restaurant. And the verdict: not too shabby. We had several varieties and they were all at least decent. Also had a couple of cocktails which were, similarly, quite decent. Overall, a very decent, tasty neighborhood spot. If you're in the area, definitely give them a try.

Their special sauce is house made and a highlight of my meal. The restaurant itself can be a bit loud so it's not optimal for intimate conversation or for older folks who might have problems hearing; but it is perfect for a lively environment to get your energy up. This is a seat yourself establishment. There is indoor and outdoor seating. When the weather is nice they will open up the glass doors.

They're always cooked fresh to order, served piping hot, and incredibly juicy. The burgers are medium-sized, but they also offer a double burger option. I usually choose the regular cheeseburger, but this time I tried the "Chiflet," made with Snake River Farms Wagyu beef and topped with applewood smoked bacon, egg, and American cheese on a potato bun. Absolutely delicious! They also feature a daily burger special, which keeps the menu interesting. The crinkle fries are consistently hot and pair perfectly with the burgers. On top of that, they offer a great selection of both imported and domestic beers. The staff is always super friendly. Overall, it's a great spot to grab a burger, hang out, and enjoy the atmosphere.

The bar tender greeted us warmly, and told us we could sit anywhere we liked, so we chose a cozy, comfy corner booth. Hubby loved his Sweet Tea, "just right". Food came out fresh, fast and perfectly served. We shared the crispy authentic Calamari over a bed of Arugula with Remoulade, Sweet Asian and Marinara for dipping. When we finished that, we poured the Asian dressing over the plentiful Arugula salad. We shared a Trio of tender, juicy Certified Angus sliders. Wow! Hubby said that's the best dang slider I ever ate! I agree! The shoestring fries were perfectly fried and seasoned. Love that you can get up to six sliders.

The…read moretap list shows real attention to style accuracy and balance, with clean fermentations and well-executed recipes across the board. Whether you're into hop-forward beers, malt-driven styles, or something a little more experimental, there's usually something on tap worth dissecting. What stands out is the consistency -- no obvious flaws, no shortcuts, just solid brewing fundamentals. The beers drink the way they're supposed to, which is honestly refreshing in the Memphis craft scene. The staff knows the product and can talk process, ingredients, and style intent without the usual buzzwords. If you're the type who checks clarity, aroma, and finish before taking the second sip, Memphis Filling Station Brewery belongs on your regular rotation.

They mentioned plans to expand and it sounds like it will be a great enhancement. I love the wall design that shows the current options. I love sours and was so excited to see they had a few options. First up: Sauce. I was not ready for the appearance. It looked like something your get a coffee shop. I was intrigued by the rhubarb and the staff said it's a seasonal item so I said what the heck. 9/10. The flavors mesh well together and tou get just a little but of sweetness on top of the sour. The consistency was a tad thicker than usual but I enjoyed it. Next up: Love Joy. Much larger than I expected. Lemon flavor was evident without being too overpowering. Perfect for a starter option.
