We've been here a few times and it's always been good. With Nashville becoming such a foodie, and often times overpriced, city, Coco's is a nice relief and throwback to the days of the neighborhood Italian restaurant. Everything is solid, the staff, friendly and genuine. Can get a little slow sometimes when they're short staffed or busy, but we had a table of eight and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal. Was a great family gathering.
Great food, wine and service! Christian is a great bartender/server and we look forward to returning soon. Picatta was creamy and meat sauce was flavorful.
Amazing service. The staff was truly awesome. The half price bottles of wine on Wednesday was nice though they're trying to phase out of this not so the waitress told me. Lucking had checked out the website. The calamari was great. The bread tastes. The Italian sub good though not particularly over the top quality. The chicken piccata sauce was tasty though the chicken nothing special and not breaded as is traditional and more like precooked sliced chicken. The service was the showstopper.
I ordered the Bolognese and it was incredible. Best Italian food I've had in a long time. The food looked so good I forgot to take a picture before digging in!
When we decided we wanted to have a planned elopement, first thing I did after having the conversation with my fiancé was head to Coco's West. I had never been to this location but felt in my gut that we needed an Italian dinner party to celebrate this special occasion. (New York Italian girlie, here!) And boy was a right! I live in Bellevue, so placed a takeout order for chicken parm (absolutely delish!!) and when I went to pick it up, was introduced to Reese after asking for a reservation for 30ppl for our special day. (December 28, 2023!) She immediately marked us down for that date and made herself available to me by call or text. While Coco's West felt like heaven to the NY Italian in me, Reese became our wedding's GUARDIAN ANGEL. Leading up to the event, she answered my MANY inquiries regarding menu, dessert, table setup, timing (which was VERY up in the air until week-of), + more! She made me feel so comfortable and supported me through every step of the process. (We planned this wedding in 3 wks so that is SAYING SOMETHING!!) We decided to rent out the bar side of the restaurant for our 30 guests. It was the perfect size for our party! And we knew the bar would be open to the public that night too, but had no problem with it. After discussing, we decided on passed apps (antipasto + fried cheese wedges!), and for dinner that our guests would do have 2 salads to choose from (Italian + Caesar), order their entrees off the menu, and have an open bar + open dessert. But the the night before the wedding, I hit Reese with a change - and asked to switch from an open dessert menu to ONLY serving the cake we had ordered (lemon blueberry ricotta cake with cannoli cream) AND GELATO. She informed me oh no, all gelato is made in-house at Coco's fresh market and they may not be able to do it so last-minute because it was Christmastime!! I said no biggie - guests could just have cake + coffee and that would be fine! (It really would have been fine - my guests are STILL talking about how amazing this cake was!!) When I walked into Coco's West after getting married to my husband on December 28, not only was the room setup in a way that was MORE BEAUTIFUL than I could have imagined. (We sent pictures of what we wanted, but left all decor with Reese + the restaurant day-of. They setup EVERYTHING and my family didn't have to do a thing!) Reese greeted us when we were ready, and walked me over to a CASE FULL OF GELATO! I think there were 6 flavors in there for our guests to choose from! I was blown away! And there's more: When we made the reception reservation, Coco's informed us that since we had 30 ppl, there would be a small fee to book an extra server for our size party. That night, the restaurant got busier and busier, and the open-to-the-public side of the restaurant actually had to PULL OUR EXTRA SERVER to manage the crowd. Guess what? YOU COULD NOT EVEN TELL. Reese made this night flow so flawlessly - everyone's drinks were always full (yes!! Cocktails, sodas, water, whole nine!). Every course of our meal came out at the same time for all 30 ppl, and everything was SO DELICIOUS - my guests are still talking about it! Multiple people (mostly Northeasterners!) made the comment "THIS IS THE BEST FOOD I'VE EVER HAD AT A WEDDING." And remember - we didn't have a prefixed menu - entrees were ordered by all 30 of our guests right off the menu!! Chicken parm, baked ziti, lasagna, seafood - we had it all and it was all amazing!!! Even my gluten-free Grandfather was happy!! (YES they had options for him even though I had forgotten to ask beforehand!) We closed out the night with that delicious lemon blueberry ricotta cake with cannoli cream and Y'ALL. It was all just so good!!!! After greeting all our people at the beginning of dinner, my husband and I were placed at our special seats with a bottle of delicious champagne in front of us! (This was not discussed beforehand - it just appeared!) We had the best time and felt SO WELL-TAKEN CARE OF. When I walked into our reception that night, I felt so comfortable and happy - we were fed delicious food and drinks and felt everything was going perfectly according to plan (even minus one server). It was so special! When I think back to that night, a warm glow is cast over my entire memory of it. Reese and Coco's West MADE THE NIGHT! I cannot recommend Coco's West enough. Working with Reese + this venue was a dream! Their food is DELICIOUS, their staff is BEYOND COMPARE (Reese was my #1 girl making it ALL happen, but obvs folks behind-the-scenes made our incredible dinner!!!), and the ambiance is perfect for your special occasion. I am overflowing with compliments for this venue and their staff. Thank y'all for making our special day absolutely perfect. We will never forget it and will be celebrating at this location (and just popping in for dinner + dessert!!!!) for years to come!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! :)
Absolutely amazing Italian food. The staff was so friendly. Food was amazing. Lots of space and a full bar. This is a place to relax and enjoy your food ao don't be in a hurry. You will kill the vibe. I had the chef's special tonight and wow. Lobster ravioli was amazing. Great selection of food and drink. Its a little of a challenge to get into the parking lot so be careful.
The BEST meal I've had in Nashville, notwithstanding some excellent bbq and hot chicken places. Authentic Italian. Four of us had early dinner on a Saturday evening and we all were delighted. From the start of Fried Cheese Ravioli served with a very tasty marinara all the way through desserts of a Chocolate Eruption and Tiramisu, all we ate was delish! And by delish, I mean out of this world! I had the Cheese Ravioli Olio, which is maybe my favorite meal ever. Hubby had the Italian Roast Beef Sub, our daughter had the Chicken Parm (chicken was reported a little dry, but otherwise very good), and our friend had the Fettuccine and Meatballs. I had an Espresso martini, which was good. This will become a regular stop for me when in Nashville.
