Coccolo

The ambience was undeniably appealing—cool, relaxed, and thoughtfully curated. The music complemented the setting well, and there was a certain freshness to the interiors. I’m not entirely sure if they were aiming for an old-school Italian village café vibe, but whatever the intention, it worked aesthetically. The staff was decent, though slightly odd in their approach. Almost immediately after we placed our order, they insisted on taking the menu away, and even when asked to wait, they repeated the same. A bit unusual, but they remained warm, polite, and welcoming throughout. Coming to the food—we ordered two pizzas: the truffle mushroom and the Cocolo Star. Perhaps my expectations were set too high due to the food blogger hype, but the experience fell somewhat flat. The Cocolo Star pizza was overly salty. While the crust was impressively crisp, it occasionally felt dry and slightly hard to chew. The saving grace was the white sauce served on the side, which added some balance. The truffle mushroom pizza was better in comparison, with a more balanced salt level, but it still shared similar issues with texture. Overall, I’m unsure if I would confidently recommend this place just yet. I might return to try a few other dishes, but for now, it stands as an average experience—around a 2.5-star
