We had a large group (14 people) in this tiny venue that seats 30 and it was hot (no ac? idk, didn't ask). You order at the register and they deliver the food to your table. The wait/cashier staff were precious, so friendly and helpful. Substitutions, no problem.Totally above and beyond. Even the cooks thanked us for coming in. The food is wonderful. Everyone in our group loved their pastas, pizzas, and calzones. The portions are huge for a great price. All of the ladies and a few of the men took leftovers home. I personally had the eggplant parmigiana which came with bread/olive oil dip, salad, and a "side" of spaghetti that was at least 3x the average size. When I asked if I could have meat sauce instead of marinara the response was,"Of Course!" and not "There will be an up charge for that." Which is what I expected. I ordered a baked ziti to take home to my son. The sweet lady asked me what kind of dressing for the salad that comes with? I hesitated and told her "He isn't really a salad guy" so she offered to substitute some garlic knots instead. Score!!! Can't say enough good. All of us had a great experience. We will definitely be back.

Menu was very Italian, some traditional dishes I'm sure to the owner as well as they were red sauce, which is standard on mini dishes. . This is sangria only so no beer or liquor, which was a little disappointing but does not affect the review. I survived and got a beer later.!! We all ordered with the mixture of pizza to my chicken pasta, tortellini, and shrimp fettuccine. All were well-made, the pizza really stood out with a great crust and flavor. My chicken presented well but was really lacking seasoning but nothing a little salt and pepper didn't correct. Shrimp fettuccine also seem to lack seasoning, but I tend to look for a little more aggressive seasoning before tasting.. Plates were nice portions, even had to get two to go boxes, including half the pizza which we enjoy later.. if you're looking for Italian, this was very good. Very family, friendly and service was impeccable.. Highly recommend!!

We originally had a 7:45 PM reservation, but showed up early hoping for a change. They were incredibly accommodating and got us seated immediately at 6:30 PM on the patio. It turned out to be the highlight of the night--we absolutely loved the atmosphere out there. Even for an early spring evening in Athens, the heaters were positioned perfectly and kept us comfortable the entire time. It's rare to find a spot that's this flexible and still executes at such a high level. Highly recommend.

I had already been about four times before and had determined that I was never going back after my last experience. Well, this one was even worse. Maybe some of the worst service ever. The restaurant was half full, and 80% of the clientele were sorority girls. Nothing against them but I remember the first time I went there when it first opened and it was full of townies. We waited literally almost 30 minutes for our drinks. Finally we had to go find a manager. We were told that they were out of one of the liquors so instead of sending one of their lame bartenders over to ask if we had a second choice we sat there for 30 minutes. The food is so overpriced. And honestly? I make better food at home. They have all these cute, nice looking folks serving the food and they're a little matching aprons, but they seriously lack any sense of urgency or attention. Not only will I never go back to this restaurant, I'm going to make sure that all my friends know not to go there. But judging from the current clientele, I think most people have gotten the word that this place is not worth the money. Oh, and at the end of the evening, their valet parking app didn't work. My friend spend a lot of money in restaurants, and as we left they said they would never go back there either. You have been warned!

Compared to south Florida's cost of living, the pricing is surprisingly inexpensive for the quality and service. We brought our standard poodle with us, since we were on vacation. We enjoyed their outdoor seating, which was spacious and relaxing. We were welcomed and really made to feel at home. For my south Florida friends, if you are passing through north Georgia, Cotto's should definitely be on your itinerary.

We ordered the mussels, caesar, cacio e Pepe and bistecca fiorentina. The steak was a thin cut T-Bone, far from any bistecca fiorentina I have ever had. It was also cooked to medium, borderline medium well. So it was tough to the chew. Salad mussels and pasta were tasty though! Hostess can try harder next time with seating guest in the dining area. Even with a few reservations, you have plenty of seating.

It gave off great mom and pop vibes. I got the white spinach gf pizza and it was delicious. They brought the amazing looking buttery garlic rolls to start. I couldn't eat them, but the other two said they were amazing. My husband had the Marsala and son had the kids spaghetti with meat sauce. Everything was devoured. I would definitely go again if I'm ever in town again. One comment I will make: I notice there was a written sign in the bathroom saying to throw your paper towels in the trash and not on the floor. Unfortunately, there's no way to keep your hands clean after washing without using the paper towel to open the doorknob. The trash is then out of reach, making the option to put it in the trash impossible if you want to keep hands clean. Which is a must for most especially before eating. The door closes immediately so you can't leave it open while you walk over to the can. I brought my used paper towel out to the table with me after because I don't know what to do with it. Maybe rethink the placement of the garbage so it is next to the door.
