Coco di Mama - Pasta & Pizza - Oxford

Oxford's pasta scene gets a serious upgrade at Coco di Mama, where the team has been dishing out hearty Italian comfort food that keeps students and locals coming back for more. With a solid Food Hygiene Rating and a reputation built on generous portions and fresh ingredients, this spot has become a reliable favourite for anyone craving a proper carb fix. The kitchen turns out everything from silky carbonara to bubbling baked pasta, each dish made to order with the kind of care that makes you forget it's takeaway.

The menu leans into crowd-pleasers like creamy pesto penne and rich bolognese, but the real star here is the build-your-own pasta option — pick your shape, sauce, and toppings for a meal that's exactly what you fancy. They also do a mean margherita pizza, cooked crisp and topped with quality mozzarella. Whether you're fuelling a study session or just want a no-fuss dinner that hits the spot, ordering from Coco di Mama means you get proper Italian flavours without leaving the house.
