Since the Romans left, the Italians have been operating a policy of conquering the world's palate, plate by plate, and traditionally-run family restaurants like Cotto are their failsafe. The welcome is unfailingly warm here, the decor is authentic in feel, with murals on the walls, and the pleasures of the table are taken seriously indeed. Cotto is a 5-minute walk from the London Eye and the Aquarium, perfect for before or after family outings and it's also very popular with business customers during the week. There's live music on offer, too. As for the menu, try classic Tricolor salad to start, one of more than a dozen pastas, like Spaghetti carbonara, and a main course of simply and beautifully grilled Sirloin steak. Or just opt for a pizza and be happy!

    We went to Skylon last night to celebrate our son's 21st Birthday. Table for 4 and we had the best time. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome. The food, alcohol and ambience were all amazing. We were given a beautiful bar table to begin with and then moved to a lovely table overlooking The Thames. Can honestly say this was a wonderful evening and can definitely recommend this restaurant. Special shout out to our lovely waiter Felix, who was smily, attentive, fun and generally just looked after us really well. Well done Skylon. This was our second visit and we will be back for sure.

    Cotto was incredible. It honestly felt like we’d left london and stepped into a little piece of Italy! The staff were so lovely and chatty, and the food was just impeccable! Honestly the best Italian food we’ve had since being in Italy itself. I’m celiac and it’s so unusual to be able to enjoy anywhere that’s really authentic and not a chain. But 90% of the menu was gluten free so I could fully enjoy the experience. I also don’t eat much meat but there were plenty of veggie options too. We chatted with the owner while we were there and he is celiac himself so it feels very safe from a celiac perspective. Highly recommend!
