Our Dining Room is OPEN !
PLEASE NOTE: WE DO NOT HAVE A PATIO
Please reserve your table through our reservation system
At present, we will not be seating customers as per Pre-pandemic (but tables WILL be distanced less than 6 feet apart). Although this means we seat less customers, we want everyone to feel comfortable on our way back to "normal".
Please be considerate and cancel your reservation promptly if you can't make it, as we really need to maximize our capacity at this time.
Takeout will continue for those not quite ready to dine in with us.
Cotto: an Italian word,
(English version cooked)
Our menu is a collection of classic Italian comfort food, revisited with a modern flare.
We are a small, family owned & run business and everything we create is a product of hard work, passion and dedication to the culinary traditions of Chef Giuseppe’s birthplace of Italy.
Cotto is a celebration of the Italian lifestyle, where sharing food & conversation with family and friends is the reason to stop work, have fun & enjoy life, (if only for a little while).
We welcome you to join us & enjoy "our" little piece of Italy.

Chef Giuseppe Di Gennaro
Born in Pozzuoli, Italy, Chef Giuseppe Di Gennaro goes back to his roots to bring traditional comfort food with a modern twist to Calgary with "Cotto".
After working in his homeland at various restaurants, Giuseppe left Italy at age 17 for the bright lights of London, England. Plying his trade, he worked his way up through the ranks in a number of high-end London establishments in the mid to late 80's.
After years of working in Italy, London & Australia, he & his Australian wife settled in Calgary in 1996, & has since become an high-profile member of the City's restaurant scene. His flavourful, visually appealing & contemporary version of Italian food has won him not only critical acclaim, but many fans amongst Calgary restaurant-goers.
