Cotto Enoteca Pizzeria - Burnaby, British Columbia

A pizza shop highly recommended by a friend months ago. Finally got a chance to go there for a family lunch. Liked the cosy and chic industrial style decor of the restaurant. Plenty of rooms between tables. 5 stars for interior environment. Ordered a calamari fritti. The squid was fresh. ... Batter was ultra thin, not like the calamari I tried at other restaurants. So delicious 5 stars. Tagliatelle Carbonara - the pasta was house made. Liked the texture. The Alfredo sauce was so rich. 5 stars. Margherita 5 stars. The lunch couldn’t finish without dessert. We ordered a tiramisu my favourite dessert of all time. Maybe the previous dishes set a high expectation. The last dish was the least satisfying. The tiramisu was a bit dry. I personally prefer the lady fingers be soaked generously with coffee. 3 stars. Overall 4 stars. Read more

Great restaurant in the neighborhood for Italian food. Pizza and pasta was very good. Service was excellent. Good atmosphere. Can get a bit chilly as they keep opening the doors to the heated patio area to serve those customers.

We’ve been wanting to try Cotto for a while since it’s always very busy on weekends which we took to be a good sign. We managed to get a reservation on a Saturday and brought two of our out of town visitors. Everyone except me got pasta. For starters we ... shared the calamari and lemon and garlic prawns. The calamari was good but the prawns left much to be desired… there were only about 6 prawns total for $16, so very overpriced. For mains, in total we had the carbonara pizza, carbonara pasta, gnocchi and pesto pasta. I had a bite of everyone’s pasta and they were all delicious! My pizza was pretty good- the soft boiled egg works surprisingly well! However, I found the dough to be somewhat tough and full of air pockets (which I expect some of due to wood burning stove but this was excessive). Next time around I would probably order pasta instead of pizza. Read more

We had amazing service and food here last night. Our thanks to “TJ” who made the best negronis I’ve had in a while. She also looked after us so well and is friendly and sweet. Our food was wonderful, fresh and locally sourced ingredients made our meal so delicious. The ... house made pasta and pizza was gorgeous. Our only complaint would be that this is a very loud restaurant, maybe not for a quiet, romantic date night. However, now we know this, it is not enough of a problem to not return for another wonderful night. Read more

My family’s go-to restaurant for Italian food in Burnaby (mostly for the 🍕). When I was in Vancouver recently, I found out they started making their own pastas in house which really intrigued me to want to go back. I always loved their pizzas, but for pasta I was so ... so about it. This time I went, I was very pleased with how good of a job they did on their pastas! The gnocchi was seriously one of the best ones I’ve had. The only thing personally I felt I would change is adding more dill into the seafood pasta, and having a lighter sauce. Also wanted to mention that they do a great job with the calamari fritti. The squid is fresh and tender, never over battered- just perfect👌🏻 ** Edit: The last two times I went here to eat I was rather disappointed. The pizza dough was super hard and tough, definitely not “Neapolitan” style. Also the calamari had little to no seasoning in it. Pasta was also underwhelming. This was my go-to spot in the area but I don’t think I’ll be coming back… at least not for a while. Read more
