Lo Coco's — Restaurant in Oakland

Lo Coco’s is one of those restaurants that just wins your heart with its food and its service!

Walking into Lo Coco’s gives you the impression that this casual spot will serve you average, casual food, but this couldn’t be farther from the truth. This restaurant, known for its pizza dough is so much more than a pizza joint… the pasta dishes are out of this world!

I ordered the Combination pizza, since the pizza is frequently spoken about this place. My wife ordered the Eggplant Parmigiana and we also ordered the Tortelli with Pesto. The pizza definitely lived up to the hype, which normally is never the case. The crust had a great crispness to it and the toppings are high quality. My wife commented on how good her Eggplant Parmigiana was… the Tortelli with Pesto though was amazing!!! I will come back for that dish alone, it was just simply divine.

As for service, Joseph was our server and he was just simply amazing. He added to the whole charm of the restaurant; since it was our first time, we spent the time going through the menu with us.

I am usually pretty reluctant to try new Italian eateries because quite frankly a lot of the more "formal" ones rarely make you feel satisfied when you realized how much you just spent on a modest dinner for two. Lo Coco's, however, is not one of those spots. With not even a trace typical pretentiousness that some other Italian places have Lo Coco's makes you feel like you are walking into their home to eat rather than their business. The entire menu fits on one side of a piece of paper the size of a place setting and the short list of "house specials" gives you at least item that must be present on the table. The egg plant parm was cooked perfectly with a slight char to the eggplant and their house red sauce is bold and delicious. Admittedly, we someone made a mistake and did not get the pizza we originally planned on but the quality of the crust and sauce make any pizza a safe bet. A quintessential neighborhood Italian joint. Would recommend and will go back. FAQS -CCs accepted -No reservations but just Americans eat dinner way too early so wait will be...

Oh all the varieties of Pizza and Pasta! You must come back and try it all! Went there on a weekday dinner without reservations, and got seated instantly, thanks to the sweet staff. While ordering, fresh focaccia was served in a easy pull apart form. The staff was nice enough to tell us all the specials and recommendations. We decided to order a Pizza (Guido), Eggplant Parmiagania, and Pappardelle Bolognese. Each dish was uniquely delicious, couldn't pick a favorite. Portions were perfect for three people. Super tasty and flavorful. They sell Mole Cola, the Coke-cola of Italy, only much better. The staff and service couldn't be any more outstanding. You can also tell the food was good when they're constantly getting Uber/ Door dash orders. Love the restaurant/ Italian store look. This place could be easily crowded during weekend dinner, but still great for parties more than 2. Try also their cocktails and dessert. Their canoli was a chocolate kind! Definitely will come back and try their different pizza and pasta flavors. Street parking only....
