We sat outside seated at the cute table and ordered the pea ricotta ravioli and meatball spaghetti to share. We also ordered house white wine which was cheap on happy hour. Ricotta ravioli was my favourite as it was creamy but refreshing, and the meatballs from the spaghetti were very well seasoned! If we made it a little bit earlier we could have ordered their happy hour pasta only for 13bux! Service was great, friendly and attentive. There are seats inside as well and I was taken aback by how large the place was.

Ohhh Lordy. We ate here tonight and that was one heck of a meal!

We had the Lemon & ricotta ravioli and the Linguine. The ravioli was so rich and decadent, the burnt butter was so delicious and the walnuts added an amazing crunch. Warning, this is a heavy meal so don’t go for this if you’re not that hungry or trying to be healthy. The linguine was light, with the perfect amount of chilli and they weren’t stingey with the prawns. The toasted bread crumb was so crispy and added some nice texture to the dish.

Service was lovely and the vibe was great. Can’t wait to come back!!

Its a little pricey for the amount of food you get, portions are small. But quality is fantastic, and service was great. Would absolutely go again

LOVE happy hour here.... $7 wine! Cheap pasta!!!! Amazing
Love sitting on the footpath and people watching - it’s the best.
I love their kumara bread with olive oil, I could eat that all day long!
Their polenta chips are always perfecto too!

Great food all-around as per usual, however pork belly was a bit of a disappointment how it came out slightly burnt on the top and majority of it was fat. The spaghetti and meatball was good but not as good as last time where the meatball last time was nice and juicy this time was a little bit dry. Polenta chips are perfect as per usual. Overall it was a nice meal still love the place and ambiance.

Finally visited this place after so many years looking at it from the car window lol. It is definitely a
Great place for catching up with friends over drinks and nibbles! We had happy hour drinks and shared a few small plates. Probably won’t come here for lunch or dinner as it is quite pricey and small portioned... but nice atmosphere for happy hour drinks!

Great atmosphere and service. The food is a great fusion of Spanish and Italian. Make sure you book to get a table. The cocktails are good too!

Elena Khrustalyova

Absolutely in love with this place! One of the best spaghetti and meatballs, polenta chips and delicious paté🍝 I have an amazing time every time I go there and drinks/cocktail selection is fantastic too! Great and friendly service and you're right in the heart of K Rd with great vibe and people watching.

What an amazing place to have food and catch up with friends. Place was buzzing, it was busy and looked amazing. It didn't feel like we are in NZ. Service was too quick, we felt a bit rushed as the waiting staff didn't give us much time to even look at the menus and enjoy our food. Food came to the table pretty quick, every dish we've ordered was really nice and big portions too. We were stuffed by the time we got outta there. Absolutely loved the atmosphere and will totally go back again.

Great casual dining experience, superb (and fun) service and scrumptious food. Love that most dietary requirements are catered for and not a blink of judgement.

Very cool place with a great service and delicious food! Dont pass it and come to check it out! First time there and liked right away! The place has a great atmosphere! Its very relaxing there. They have a small garden outside and it is decorated with plants and pillows where you can literally lay down if its not too busy . There are stairs where you can sit down with your group for an afternoon drink or snack and enjoy your company. Service is great and very accommodating. They will give your recommendation on a menu if you dont know what to choose! I loved polenta chips ! I think its my favorite! So yummy and crunchy! Vibes were very good when I visited! I recommended this place if you are looking for something new. It is very inviting! They have good cocktails and also specials for almost every day!

Went with a group and booked their private room upstairs ($120 to book) which was awesome as we could listen to our own music and it was nice and quiet to hear each other talk. On the set menu ($75pp) which was delicious. The biggest letdown was the truffled potato ravioli. It was advertised as a main but we were only given one piece of ravioli each - which is a shame because it was bloody delicious, we all wanted more! We were told it was something small between courses- that would be good to be made clear with the advertised menu. Despite that we left full and even had food left over. All in all I would return because the food was great and the staff were friendly and attentive.

Delicious food. Good service. Busy place. Had the Prosciutto and Rocket pizza and my son had the Meatballs. Specials on drink’s depending on day.

Authentic italian food and great great service. The best meal I had in Auckland. Reasonable price with hospitality service makes me feel like grandma's kitchen in Italy.

Helen Lee

We came for happy hour on a Tuesday from 5:15-6:30ish. To our surprise they have a deal on Tuesdays for 17 dollar pizzas (20 for the prosciutto)! We ordered one of each and they were really decent pizzas, and definitely good value. The service was great and really friendly. A nice casual spot and good for groups - we had 7.

I have been coming here for just about 10 years and I should have posted this earlier. I am Italian but just the family name does not make you a great cook. Here the food is simple but so outrageously tasty. The service is bohemianly effective, Coco's feels like driving a Morris with a Ferrari engine.....you get a lot more than you pay for. I am looking forward to my next 10 years to come hoping that Coco's remains the same .......perfectly imperfect. Davide & Emily
