The best hand made Italian food in town. A Nashville original straight out of the neighborhoods of New York. Don't skip the meatballs in the dining room and the gelato is a must if you still have room.

My friends and I wanted to try a different Brunch place on a Sunday, so we chose Coco's Italian. It was excellent! I had a vegetable omelet, and it was really flavorful and delicious- something that most places can't get right, but Coco's did. My friends all loved theirs too. There was something on the menu that…
Coco's Italian Restaurant and Market is such a gem! It's a must-go for locals and tourists! The food is generational true Italian - my faves are the Eggplant Parmesan (on a heaping portion of linguine marinara 🍝 yum!) and the Ceasar Salad! The adjoining market has unique specialties from all over Italy 🇮🇹, in…
So grateful to Coco's Italian Market! They donated Gift Cards to the Sexual Assault Center’s Mad Hatter gala and it was a highlight of the silent auction. Their generosity helped make the night magical and supports SA survivors across Middle Tennessee. This is a business with a big heart. I Highly recommend supporting them!

I had an amazing dining experience at Coco’s Italian Market. It's been a while since I sat down for a full meal and I had completely forgotten how generous their portions are. I started with a side Caesar salad which was absolutely delicious. The portion was so large that I could have easily enjoyed it as a meal by itself. For my entree I ordered the pesto ravioli and by the time I finished eating I was incredibly full. I was seriously debating whether I had room for dessert but I couldn't pass up the cannoli. What made the experience even more enjoyable was the excellent service. Page took wonderful care of me throughout my visit and Cass made an amazing cannoli. Both deserve recognition for helping make my dining experience so memorable. Great food, generous portions, and exceptional hospitality are always a winning combination. I genuinely appreciate the care and attention I received. Thank you Page and Cass for making my visit such a positive experience. I look forward to returning.

Usually love to treat ourselves here once in a while. But last few times, the food has been subpar in flavor and temperature. I am not sure how I get served a hot plate with melted, slightly charred (which I love) cheese oozing over and I scoop in only to find luke warm meatballs and pasta. The drinks and service have always been great, so we still visit occasionally.
