Cocozza American Italian

I got a chicken parmasen with meat balls. The food was ok, but the quality doesn't reflect the prices here.

me and my wife had a reservation tonight for 7:30. we were excited to try out this place we’d heard so much about. we arrived on time but, unfortunately, had to wait nearly twenty minutes to be seated (5 or 10, okay…anything more and a reservation isn’t a reservation anymore). once we were finally at a table, it took our waitress about 5 minutes to stop by and acknowledge us. all she said was that she’d be right with us. she wasn’t. after sitting there for nearly 10 minutes, without so much as water, we left.

don’t bother with a reservation. they don’t matter. don’t expect service, there is none. to be fair, the food did look and smell good. wish we could have had it.

instead, we drove back out to east memphis (where we live), walked in at hog n hominy, and had food in front of us within ten minutes. if you're going to pay andrew michael prices, you might as well go to one of their restaurants. at least they know what a reservation is and how to treat customers. but, hey, technically we weren’t customers since we didn’t stick around and spend $100+ to be ignored.

Service was great! I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs with a ceaser salad to-go but it was extremely bland.

Pure home style Italian food made to perfection. I loved everything. The restaurant is small and quaint, a mix of casual and cozy. Perfect place for a date night or family meal.

Had the sausage rigatoni, very dry and bland. Bread is good. Vodka rigatoni was good. Service was great. Expensive for a small restaurant.

New favorite spot! Love the ambience and service and food was great. We even ordered the bruschetta appetizer and ran out of bread but still had some tomatoes left - the manager came over and offered us more bread! It is smaller so recommend getting a reservation. Can’t wait to go back!

We sat outside with music that was very appropriate for an Italian restaurant to accompany a pleasant & relaxing dinner. My husband had the salmon entree. I can't rave enough about the pork scallopini. It was crisp, tender and truly delicious ? This was "thee" best dinner that I'd had in our 4 evenings spent in Memphis.

Parking: Lovely neighborhood on Mud Island
with street parking.

Wheelchair accessibility: Outside dining is directly in front of the restaurant.

We loved our food and the ambience. The garlic bread is a must! Walked in on a Monday night and it wasn’t busy.

Little cramped. Food is very good, as was the wine. AC is not the best during the summer, so it's very warm while eating. The service was great! Make a reservation if eating on Friday or Saturday. Take out available.

Second time here and I am completely delighted! I took visitors from out of town that wanted to see the river and stop for a delicious drink. We had cocktails, friend mozzarella and apperitivo which was awesome. Will love to be back soon!
