Order the caprese salad, gnocci or the lasanga, both are excellent.

Interesting reviews. This review board is becoming more like a gossip blog. Coco is a nice choice among the many other good restaurants in the area.

The Iranian Mngr is an a**hole - what does the fact that he is Iranian have anything to do with it (although I thought the manager was Italian to begin with) The place is great the food is awesome and as for you Arthur you my friend are a loser ..hahaha ..

yes, yes, yes! This restaurant rocks! The seafood platter us to die for , the staff is friendly, and the Decor is well thought out! I know the owner personally & he's the best at what he does! He truly cares about hid business & has been doing this for many years! By the way the table that sat themself, & posted really bad review...1 thing to say u were told that there was a wait &. Other guest were ahead of u. Who seats themself on a Saturday night at a busy restaurant when there is a wait list &. The table was not even cleaned yet. The worst part qhen they were told that there was others ahead waiting at the bar, they still refused to get up! After they finally did get up they were told that they werw gonna have to wait for the next available table.... They started raising their voices complaining& bickering, which was causing a scene, at this time they were told that if they didn't respect the wait policy they were welcome to leave!!! Do u blame coco management ?? Come on grow up!!! There is 2 sides to ebery story, i wsd therw that night & remeber this happening....Coco lezzone continues to please each and every time!

As for my 2 cents, Coco Lezzone is a decent spot, but nothing over 2 stars. - JB

Was there for a b-day party this past saturday and overall I must say this place ROCKS ! -- Very cool atmosphere and the staff is over the top. We were sat in the back and watched a packed house served out this beautiful open kitchen. The food was amazing and the wine list by far one of the best in the city and of course the complimentry bar shots just put it over the top. Once again I want to thank COCO's for giving my brother a great party !!!!!!!! oh and try the seafood platter!!!!!!

Hmmm - Billy and RAY are identically semi-illiterate. If you're going to try to sound like 2 different people you have to try a lot harder than this.
Why don't you go find that homeless person that the Coco's staff assaulted and buy him a glass of wine. He deserves it more than I do.
The staff probably still laugh about it so I'm sure you can get them to tell you the story.
19. The Truth's Review :: September 30, 2008 The Truth's Rating: Stars |
I was at Coco Lezzone Saturday night and I have one word to describe the experience. WOW!
The food was amazing - the seafood platter is a must but make sure you save room for either the mushroom risotto or the Sea bass. Our night ended with the owner going out of his way to send us port and what could possibly be the biggest fruit platter I have ever seen in my lifetime.
This was all during what I would consider to be one of the busiest dinner services in a long time in this city. Sure - you could go to One or Colborne Lane but I dare you to tell me the name of the manager or owner there. Thanks go to Danny and Steven. You guys truly know how to make a customer feel like a VIP.
See you again this weekend!!
20. John's Review :: September 30, 2008 John's Rating: 4 Stars |
I am sure most of the readers of this site have been to Montreal and we can all agree that there is a major difference between Toronto and Montreal. Both cities seem to have quite the gastranomical experience but yet Montreal has always been the older cousin to Toronto in terms of the whole supperclub experience. From bottle service and killer music to beautiful people providing eye candy, Montreal has always provided places to dine and party in one convenient package whereas Toronto is not known so much for high end cuisine and club like atmosphere rolled up in one.
Upon my arrival to Toronto, let's just say I was PLEASANTLY surprised by Coco Lezzone. The owner was quite the host, the food was out of this world (try the sea bass, the sea food platter and of course - ask for the veal chop off the menu) and their knowledge of wines was picture perfect. The music and "vibe" reminded me of a night on St. Laurent in Montreal and the bar was packed with beautiful people.
Thank you again to the staff of Coco's for making my weekend in Toronto memorable and above all - I look forward to my next visit!

Wow!
FIVE glowing reviews of Coco Lezzone on the same day! That's amazing!
The person who wrote them all even tried to make the reviews sound like a bunch of different people! Just trying to knock the negative reviews further down the page, I guess.
All I know is a few years ago I saw the staff kick the shit out of a homeless guy right in front of the restaurant. Since that moment I've told everybody to stay away from this horrible place.

I'm very upset at the reviews written on this site about this restaurant!!! Coco lezzone has been around 4 over 10 years & there is definatley reasons for this!! It's been one of my favourites & still is! It's unfortunate that some people didn't have a great experience but then again some people r very hard to please. I have recommended this restaurant many times & always heard positive feedback! Its still at the top of my list!

If you see a bald manager running the show - just leave. This guy is rude, arrogant, and completely clueless about how to run a restaurant. He thinks coco lezzone is club 54 circa 1970's. Sorry dude - its college west in toronto, 2008. This restaurent is a dime a dozen. You can get the same meal at about 5 other places minus the a**hole manager who could care less about you.
34. Appauled's Review :: July 06, 2008 Appauled's Rating: 1 Stars |
I'm not sure about the food because we didn't make it to dinner due to the bad service. We called ahead as we were running late and were told 'no problem'. When we arrived we told a 1/2 hour wait, but told to either wait on the sidewalk and the manager will come get us, or we could go to the bar IF we were going to get a drink. After ordering a bottle of wine at the bar, the manager walked by and let us know the table we'd be seated at. When the other diners left, we sat, only to be told by the manager to "NEVER seat yourself in my restaurant". We are pretty easy going people, and i've never been spoken to like that at a restaraunt in my life. we just left. After reading previous similar reviews, obviously don't give this place your money.

The customer service at this restaurant is terrrible!
Imagine, I went there for my birthday yesterday, and there was a group of about 20 people and this is quite literally how my night went:
Initially when I got there, there was hardly anyone at the restaurant. They crammed us into two tables, even though i gave them a reservation of 20. Then they started yelling at us, saying that we would have to move our tables (even though they were the ones who set it up that way) and screaming about how we were blocking fire exits.
The waiter did not pick up our plates at any time and we had to give him our plates.
After being there for an hour, (it was my bday celebration) the waiter comes up to me and asks that we wrap it up, because they have ppl waiting in the front and would like to give them space.
I would not reccomend this restuarant. One goes to a restaurant to talk, enjoy times with good friends/family or your partner. This involves you not being hurried.
Sad thing is that I actually asked the manager before reserving that we would not be rushed, he said we would not, but we were.
Worst experience ever! And I would not reccomend their gnocchi!

How do you begin a review of a restaurant that is horrible on every level. From the horrible food to the atrocious service, it just didnt end. Top it all off the Manager was a jerk.
Honestly. I don't want to go into detail because I'm still fuming about the all around bad night.
Thank you coco for ruining my friends birthday.
Anyone else that decides to go to the place watch out for watered down drinks, waiters that can't remember your order and managers that don't give a crap about good service.
Thank you coco for NOTHING, you need to close down and allow other quality restaurants to open up.

Too cramped for our Christmas Party of 15. The waiter brought us some strong cocktails and watched us become happier. Then they decided that we are happy enough not to notice how many bottles of wine were opened and charged us for 3 extra bottles. They also offered to bring platters of seafood instaed of individual plates - they were small and overpriced. So stick with your own plate if you decide to go.
Management promised reimbursement for the overcharge, and then chose not to answer our calls.
Overrated and unprofessional!

I had dinner there as part of the Winterlicious promotion.
If I had paid the menu price of over $30 for that braised lamb shank with garlic mashed potatoes and 2 pieces of vegetables (literally a floret of broccoli and a smigeon of red pepper), I would be extremely Angry. The meat did properly fall off the bone except it was completely devoid of flavour. The brown salty "jus" did not help either. To give Coco Lezzone some credit, the atmosphere was jovial and they kept the rustic bread a coming, too bad for the cheap balsamic vinegar.
