Went to Coco Lezzone on Avenue Road (a recent addition to the area from Little Italy) on a Saturday evening in May. It was a beautiful, sunny, warm day and we had an early reservation for 7. As soon as we arrived we were immediately ushered to a wonderful table with open windows facing the street. It was a great spot for exotic car and people watching.
We began by reviewing the menus for food and wine.
For our wine we ordered a reasonably priced Montepulciano.
Shortly after we were seated a wonderful basket of assorted breads arrived, along with a dipping bowl of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. They were replenished later during our meal.
For our appetizers, we ordered a very nice cold cut board with a variety of salamis, cheeses and pickled vegetables.
The four of us nibbled on these. Mark, our son ordered the beef carpaccio that was very good.
For her main, my wife Trudy ordered the Chilean sea bass which was pan fried and came with lemon and a caper and dill aioli. It was quite a large portion and we all had our first taste of it.
Mark ordered the gnocchi arrabiatta with hot banana peppers and parmigiano cheese in a pomodoro sauce.
Thomas, our son ordered the tagliatelle with double smoked bacon, mushrooms and garlic in a light cream sauce. He found it delicious and very filling.
For my main I had the pasta special which was capellini with lobster in a light rose sauce. There were some large pieces of lobster hidden in the pasta and it too was very filling and delicious.
The staff here are friendly and efficient and create a welcoming environment. Our waiter was very quick and efficient. The food was delicious and the dishes were well presented and filling. We will be back to try more of their interesting menu. Their website has extensive pictures of their glamorous interior. We really enjoyed our dinner here!
