"If you're trying to decide where to go to Italy, that's the place. I just have good things to say, and their food is delicious for a good price and comes with a welcoming atmosphere! My friend and I are new to Portland/Beaverton from the Middle West. We tried this place for our jubilee dinner in March and have always returned! I'm half an Italian and I'm so far away from the family, I'm getting homeaches for the savoured Italian food. I don't really like mushrooms, but her mushroom marinara tastes the next to my grandma sauce every restaurant I've ever tried. When we went for our anniversary, I dressed up in a dress and heels and it wasn't strange, but definitely a casual, family-style place. I have seen a family or a couple who every time I celebrate an event or an opportunity here? ve away, so it is good if you want a quick bite or a nice dinner. My friend loved the chicken parmesan and gets it every time and I tried a few different vegetarian options and really loved it. It is a good atmosphere with really friendly and friendly staff. We never had a bad experience or bad meal from here and their staff always makes us so welcome. This is probably one of my favorite places we have found since the move to Portland and always curse a look at Heimweh. For groups you can usually expect to spend $15-20 per person if you are not with wine and appetizers and about $25-30 if you are. Take out is simple and does not take very long unless they are busy. About 30-40 minutes during the ride on a Saturday night, so if you? re ordering take out and in a rush, order before the time."

"Nestled in our neighborhood, Lo Coco's is a delightful Italian restaurant that serves up a true taste of Sicily. With a menu boasting authentic Sicilian recipes, this charming eatery is a treasure trove for lovers of pizza and homemade pasta. One of my favorite dishes at Lo Coco's is the Vesuvio Pizza. The perfect blend of flavors and textures, this pizza never fails to impress. The crust is just the right balance of crispy and chewy, and the pepperoni and green onions are always fresh and flavorful. Another must-try is the Fettuccine Campagnola. The homemade pasta is cooked to perfection and tossed in a rich, savory light creme sauce that is simply divine. This dish is comfort food at its finest and always leaves me feeling satisfied. For a lighter option, the Tomato, Fresh Mozzarella Basil Salad is a refreshing choice. The ingredients are always of the highest quality, and the flavors complement each other beautifully. Lo Coco's also offers a selection of delectable appetizers, including the Home-Made Sicilian Style Meatballs. These meatballs are tender and packed with flavor, making them a perfect start to any meal. For a taste of true Sicilian cuisine, the Eggplant Parmigiana is a must-try. The eggplant is cooked to perfection and layered with rich tomato sauce and gooey mozzarella cheese. It's a hearty and satisfying dish that never disappoints. No meal at Lo Coco's is complete without indulging in a traditional Sicilian dessert, and the Cannoli is a standout choice. The crispy shell filled with sweet ricotta is the perfect way to end a delicious meal. What sets Lo Coco's apart is not just the incredible food, but also the exceptional service. The staff is always friendly and attentive, making each visit a personal and memorable experience. I feel so lucky to have such a gem in our neighborhood, and I can't recommend Lo Coco's enough for a taste of Italy right at home."
