Cotto Review

This innovative restaurant lies above a small deli-bakery, attracting a youthful clientele to its contemporary, wood-filled interior decorated with modern paintings for sale. Its success stems from its "no frills, no choice" three-course fixed-price dinners. That menu is based on quality ingredients freshly cooked to order. A typical evening meal might begin with carpaccio of Cornish monkfish, follow with a soup of wood-roasted Fenland spaghetti squash with pesto. For a main, perhaps slow-roasted Suffolk partridge might appear with a beet salad, followed by a selection of cheese and poached prunes. For dessert, perhaps a tart of Willingham pear and almond. Much of the produce that goes into these meals comes from local organic farms. Lunch is less elaborate, featuring such dishes as Pollock and leek fish cakes or roasted pigeon breast. You can also try Cotto for breakfast (have a slice of their sourdough bread).

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
