Lo Coco’s: Authentic Italian Pizza and More in Oakland, CA

Great pizza, great pasta. That really hits the spot. Portions are on the smaller side. Also quite cramped in here, so if you're bringing a large party here that's your fault

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. This spot is not just a neighborhood gem, it’s a Bay Area gem!

Small family own restaurant. Feels like home. Food was fresh. Pizza was a winner - perfect dough. Eggplant Parm could use some "crisp texture" but tasted delicious - if you are a Eggplant Parmigiana sucker like me I recommend skipping the $22 dollars dish. Everything else we tried was great; chef's salad, fettuccini Alfredo, spaghetti con sugo added (and you should add too) meatball (they hit different!) Service was excellent and the atmosphere was very casual and comfortable. Good for kids, good for second + dates, it maybe tight for large parties (8 or more). Caution: the house focaccia is extremely delicious and addicting (not pictured as it disappeared in seconds)

The food is awesome, the service is great, the wine was great, no one makes a cannoli that good (except maybe my Sicilian mother). There might be a wait to be seated, but it is well worth the wait.

We loved Lo Coco’s. I think that if you like a doughy crust with a good crunch, this is the place for you. The toppings aren’t just american normal toppings, but seem to be seriously sicilian inspired. We got the half weekly special and half combination pizza! I have never liked artichokes more. And the PASTA??? The clam linguine I have had at many restaurants and I think this sauce is my #1 clam linguine of all time. Lemony, creamy, garlic and clam. I’m usually a salad hater, but the salad was light, flavorful, and just enough.

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. Memorable dinner.

Great cozy atmosphere inside, it definitely makes you feel like you’re dining at a neighborhood pasta shop - which you are! My Tortelli Bolognese was fantastic, as was the accompanying bread. Unfortunately, my dessert cannolo was served with mascarpone which had split and was grainy, which is the only reason I didn’t give 5 stars. Will definitely be back for more pasta!

Delicious dishes! It’s been a while since we’ve been here, but it’s by far, my favorite for Italian. It’s as close as we can get to Italy, but locally. It’s got a nice, chill and relaxed atmosphere. Great place for a small group since it’s a smaller space.
