This place is awesome. We placed a large group order, made up of individual orders and this restaurant was 100% accurate with all 10 of our orders. I made my owner online and it was very easy to do. The owner was so nice while we waited for our order. There is metered street parking available for this restaurant and I did not have an issue finding a spot. I personally ordered the Greek Philly. I was was thoroughly impressed with my food. First, the portion size was huge. I could not finish it in one sitting. Second, it came with a huge salad, which I was not expecting. The salad was delicious, the Philly was delicious. The fries.....not so much. They were crispy and hard. The salad and Philly were both tasty and packed with flavor. I cannot say enough about this place. They have a wide assortment of food including gyros, salads, soups, wraps, paninis, burgers, skewers/kabobs mezza, and antipasti. They also have worldwide booze, including imported beers. I am glad that I was able to experience this food and highly recommend checking this place out. read more

Good spot with good options. First off the inside of the restaurant is much nicer and classier than the outdoor seating. It's well decorated with comfy chairs and a good vibe. Outside feels like a complete different place (so pick indoor seating). Second, the staff is very friendly. We ordered several of their appetizers for our group and they were all delicious. Their kabab plates were a hit. They also offered a good selection of drinks. Minor thing, and it is from personal experience only: their menus are printed on black paper and in a plastic sleeve. Reminds me of the bad touristy places in Europe. It did not represent how good the food was, because usually we run away from this Massive Plastic menus... so I Joel one day they will update them to something nicer for a better first feel. read more

Decent spot. I didn't go inside so can't speak to the interior, but the outside seats were nice and bright. Very good value for the food, but some of the food was lacking. Also our server disappeared near the end of the meal and we had to get up to find someone to pay before my parking garage closed. The sauces and dips were not my favorite--a bit watery/no texture and the flavors didn't stand out, but I liked the pita and samosas. The salad was good also. The kabobs were a bit dry. Overall might come back and try other things but there are a lot of other restaurants I want to try! read more

I love when I find gems! Mediterranean food is one of my favorite cuisines, and my friends and I stumbled upon Coco Lezzone during an evening out in DuPont. I was stunned to see the decent menu prices. Anyone who eats out in DC knows how expensive the restaurants can be. At Coco Lezzone you get affordable prices and hearty portions! We all loved our food and had plenty to take for leftovers. The restaurant has a smaller bar area that was pretty crowded on a Friday night, but we were able to sit in the area while waiting for our table. The hostess was very kind and accommodating, making sure that we didn't have to wait too long for a table. Our waiter was also great and was super attentive despite also serving other tables. I most definitely will be back to try some other items from their menu! read more

Came here for a biz lunch on a weekday. We started with the lentil soup and the ever popular 5 Phoenicians and 2 Greeks appetizer of spreads. For my main I got the lamb kabob and my friend got the chicken kabob. The side salads came out first and were excellent! The app of spreads was crazy good. I loved the falafel on it the best! Generous portion. This could really be a meal. Soup good but I added a little salt. The lamb kabob was a little overcooked for me but tasty. The charred vegetables, especially the broccoli, were my favorite. The kabobs also come out with some spreads so there was overlap in what we ordered. Would have loved to try the desserts but the place got too busy and we ran out of time. Our waiter said there is a lively bar crowd for happy hour; I'd like to return for that. read more

I really wanted to love this place but the experience wasn't impressive. We picked this place due to the high rating. 4.9 in Yelp is hard to get. Maybe that evening was one of those days. Ambience is cute and cozy. Servers were very friendly but they made few mistakes like bringing wrong food and drinks. Their food was not so great. Chicken kabab was pretty dried. Pasta was dried and with lack of sauce. Appetizers tasted like frozen food that was heat up by microwave. I don't think the concept of Greek, Italian and Mediterranean is working. Focusing on one type cuisine could work better. read more

Located a couple of blocks away from the White House, while facing fierce competition with excellent restaurants nearby, this place has been constantly rated high on Yelp. I believe the owner has a big & warm heart and that's why the portions are also big, food are so heartedly cooked, and guests are so professionally served. A quiet yet intimate environment for either business or pleasure, you will not leave without a happy tummy and mood, thanks to the wonderful chef and waiter (a big shout out to our waiter Sebastian). I'll go back anytime for a hearty meal. read more

Came here for dinner with friends and it was a nice quiet night. Our server was Sebastian and he was AMAZING!!! Sebastian was patient and helpful with our group and even offered to separate our checks. We were a party of 7 and we had lots of questions. Here's what we ordered. Starter salad with entree: 9/10 delicious. Would have been a 10 but had to ask for more dressing. This salad is DELICIOUS!!! Full of veggies and flavor. Spicy pasta with sausage: 10/10 Delicious Served Hot (temperature) I love spice and it had a nice little kick. Gnocchi with red sauce and peppers: 9/10 didn't have a protein in it. But, flavorful and wasn't spicy. Chicken kabobs plate: 8/10 I personally didn't try the chicken but the hummus was ok. Plate was nice and full. Loved that it came with olives, pickles, lebneh, pita, veggies and salad. Chicken rosemary Ravioli: 10/10 I personally didn't try but my friend said it was delicious and 10/10. Peach tea: 8/10 delicious but sweet. I had to water it down. Desserts: Cannoli: 9/10 came with 2 pieces Tartufo: 3/10 had this in Italy and this was beyond disappointing and tiny for the price. Semifreddo torroncino: 10/10 delicious Overall, Sebastian made our dinner great! His personality was personable and friendly. Sebastian was attentive and made sure we were all happy. read more

I stopped at Coco Lezzone after a long travel day. I was exhausted and looking for some hearty, filling food. I found that at Coco -- I ordered a lamb gyro plate that was served with a side salad and Parmesan fries. Although, tasty and served pretty quickly I can't give this place more stars. As soon as I was done eating, a rat ran up a woman's leg that was sitting at the table next to me and she screamed - got up and moved to the table on the other side of the restaurant. She was with 5 others and they all followed her. The server acted like nothing had happened. Didn't apologize to me for the rat or the screaming and commotion. Charged me like normal. I was too tired to complain or ask to be comped, so I left. Really unfortunate situation. read more

One star because you can't give zero. I don't even know if Coco Lezzone is in business. We made a reservation 8 weeks ago by email. We tried to update the number of guests but did not hear back. We tried calling -- there are two different numbers listed. One number says the Verizon wireless customer is not available. The other rings and rings with no pickup and no voicemail. They now accept reservations by OpenTable but show no availability. Their website also has links to delivery services but none of the services allows you to place an order. After several hours of trying to figure out what was going on, we went to plan B--highly recommend Paraiso Taqueria and Mezcaleria. read more

I made reservations for dinner here. I definitely was expecting amazing food as previous reviews said they were really good. 1st off the menu is a mix of Italian Greek and Lebanese. We ordered the Bruschetta which was pretty good. Then the stuffed squash blossoms. I was slightly disappointed in the thick batter. I took it off and ate the inside. I believe due to the thick batter inside wasn't as hot and gooey as it could be. I ordered the lamb kebab. It was ok. I hoped for a little more flavor in my meat and the white sauce could use more zing as a tzatziki sauce. The roasted veggies in my dish was good. The rice was plain,nothing special.My husband got the Aragosta E Crema Di Salmone Linguine, salmon, lobster, capers, roasted tomatoes, cremini, pine nuts, roasted red peppers, spinach, artichokes, pecorino.his had good flavor. My son got the farfalle off the kids menu. Butterflies" in Italian | Roasted tomatoes, basil pesto, pecorino. This was really tasty. Overall, I expected more flavor in certain things it's not a bad place at all just not the best for certain dishes. read more

Great little lunch spot! They have a very large menu that spans Greek and some Italian dishes. Came with a friend who was in town and service was quick but the waitress brought us out the wrong dishes. We didn't correct her but just fyi that they have some people who are new so there are hiccups. We also didn't get brought an item that we asked for. However the food was very good that we did get! Would come back for dinner as it looks lovely and I'd love to bring my husband! read more

We were a little disappointed that our go to restaurant was gone but decided to try this new replacement. We were looking for Italian and this restaurant had Italian as well as Lebanese and Greek food. Never saw that mix before and felt it was too much of a hodgepodge. Figured Lebanese was the primary but decided on the pasta dishes. Mains come with a very nice salad. Our seafood pasta dishes were plentiful and pretty good. Our server said all dishes were big, nobody leaves hungry. The owner chef did thank us for coming, I just wonder if the large menu lacks focus. read more

My group really enjoyed Coco. The service was great and the menu is huge, including the drink selection. It's a mix of Lebanese, Greek, and Italian food so it's a perfect place to take your friends with different tastes. Everything we had was really good & will definitely be back. Highly recommend trying one of the imported fruit sodas as well- so yummy! read more

I was at an event a few blocks away, and there wasn't much food. I saw that this place opened up recently, and decided I would go once the event ended. It was a Monday evening, so it was pretty quiet. The sun was on its way down, but it still felt nice, so my friend and I opted to sit outside -- it felt great... until later on when it got chilly, but that was on us XD. Sebastian took great care of us, being honest about what he had and hadn't tried, and giving great suggestions. Our appetizer was 5 Phoenicians + 2 Greeks, which was a spread of several dips (including hummus, lebneh, tzatziki, and more), falafel and a few other items. Every single item was delicious with the pita bread. And the pita to spread ratio was perfect! My favorites were the grape leaves and baba ghanoush. For my main entree, I decided on the chicken rosemary ravioli. They didn't skimp on the ravioli, chicken, or the artichoke in that dish! And the flavors were wonderful! Before the entree came out, the menu mentioned a side salad... that was a plentiful salad, I was pleasantly surprised! And again... delicious. It was a lot of food, so boxes were needed. We were served raspberry sorbet to top off the meal, which was quite refreshing. It wasn't too sweet either. We asked for proper dessert menus, and I decided to get the goccia tiramisu, which was scrumptious and not large, so I didn't feel guilty. I read it had cardamom, but upon reading I see it was 'scented' with citrus and cardamom... and that explains why I didn't really taste it. Seeing it had cardamom really got my hopes up, but that makes sense. It was delicious nonetheless. Next time I want to try the cannoli! This is a really tasty spot near McPherson Square. Stop in if you're in the neighborhood! read more

This seems like a restaurant that is still figuring things out. Service was friendly but slow and they had a temporary managers area at the back of the dining room. Their menu includes a variety of sandwiches (pitas, wraps, paninis, and subs) plus some pasta and other Mediterranean entrees. Their price's for sandwiches seem high at first blush, but they come with a substantial side salad and with fries, and the sandwiches themselves were massive. We ordered an appetizer (labneh) but we shouldn't have given their portion sizes. The sandwiches were excellent, the fries were fine, and the salad was good but could have done without the mealy tomatoes. Not sure I'll race back here, and I don't visit that neighborhood often, but you could certainly do worse. read more

This is one of my new favorite spots in DC. The food is great quality, the prices are very reasonable, and the portions are huge.

Amazing experience all around! Sebastian was what set the experience apart and actually made our experience so good that we decided to come back a second night on our 6 day trip. The first night I had the Gnocchi and it was absolutely delicious. The sauce was full of flavor and the portion was generous. To top it off I had the cannolis which were fantastic. The second night I had the chicken kabobs and the flavor was everything I needed. The menu truly offers a wide range of options with a little something for everyone. I couldn't recommend it highly enough! Thank you, Sebastian for making our trip extra special ! read more

This restaurant is a little gem. The food is Mediterranean but chef-owner Spiro has created lots and lots of very interesting choices. We ordered middle-eastern starters and got too full to go for entrees; everything on the players was excellent. Service was quietly attentive, a big plus in my book, and the ambiance is European "Hollywood". Charming. The bar is a treat, as well, and obviously a popular place to go. Finding Coco Lezzone is a highlight of our trip to D.C. read more

I came on a Monday night, because it was open, and was at first confused by the variety of items. They have a massive beer selection and my server assisted with the menu. I was hungry, but not for something super heavy. The Falafel Kabob, and all kabobs, came with pita, rice, grilled veggies, tebouleh, tzaziki and humus. Plenty of food, all very flavorful and satisfying. For DC I also felt the prices were very fair. read more

My coworker and I ordered to-go lunch from here to bring back to our desks for a working lunch session. I ordered the seafood kale salad (insalata de mare) and my coworker and I shared the fried calamari. Hostess said this salad was obe of their most popular but it seemed underwhelming to me and the seafood didn't entirely taste that fresh. Fried calamari came with sauteed veggies (olives, capers, peppers, zucchini, squash, onions, tomatoes) in an arrabiata tomato sauce. I would order that again. My coworker ordered the chicken rosemary raviolo, which came with a nice side salad. I tasted the creamy tomato sauce and give that dish a thumbs up - wished I ordered this instead of my seafood kale salad. read more

I wasn't impressed with Coco Lezzone in terms of food quality, though it might have been an off night. The trio appetizer had decent/OK humus, the weirdest babaganouj ever that tasted like it had either breadcrumbs or potatoes mixed in and missing pomegranate seeds, and a labneh that, despite the accompanying fine olives and cornichons, tasted just like unadorned Kirkland greek yogurt. The hot pita was the star of that show. Then came one of their salads that had kale and fruits...but the hard, dried apricots were left whole and nearly impossible to cut (as were other dried fruit) which wasn't appropriate and I struggled to finish the salad (which I did because I was hungry). The kitchen wouldn't split anything in advance despite the rather large portion size (I'd have paid extra for the split) and they apparently wouldn't split a beer either...cultural issue? The salmon that came with the salad was properly done medium-rare but didn't taste like much either...under seasoned. So, the food quality really held back this review since the extra fine service from Sebastian was a joy (though maybe he didn't hear we wanted two beer glasses?) and the restaurant is very comfortable and handsome. Ironically, might have been a better experience food-wise to return on a busier night when the kitchen is fully stocked / engaged. read more

I made a reservation months ago. I've been trying to confirm via email for over a week. No response and no bounce back. Coco Lezzone has not answered the phone for 2 days and there is no voicemail option. We scrambled this morning to find a new place that could accommodate 8 tonight. My guess is that they are closed, though we confirmed on multiple sources that they are open. With my reservation in the books, I should have been contacted that the restaurant was closing. I am disappointed and do not recommend Coco Lezzone if by chance they are still open. read more

Food was very good, and the menu huge, so easy to find something that appealed but service was mixed. Friendly wait staff were not attentive at key moments even as the dining room was mostly empty early in the dinner service (maybe four tables of diners and three wait staff, one who was clearly new. After ordering appetizers and mains, the appetizers came quickly (welcome) and the mains arrived 3 minutes later (not). It was as if the kitchen didn't know they were for the same party. This made the table crowded and the meal feel rushed. When I asked to see the wine list again to choose a glass to go with my main the list was delivered quickly but no one returned to find out what I wanted to order for many minutes. Since I already had my main, the two never got together. They have all the elements to make a good dinner experience, with slight adjustments, into an excellent one. read more

I had a tomato and mozzarella salad which was pretty good. But then the pizza I ordered was just only so so, sauce tasted an awful like like Ragu. My chief complaint was that the place had a lot of flying mosquitoes and I ended up leaving full of mosquito bites. The restaurant knew about it, should've done something about it . read more

Enjoyed dinner. Everything down to the side salad was tasty. Menu is huge. Food came out quick and hot.

The servers were very friendly and attentive. Unfortunately my glass of wine was a half pour for the full price! When I asked the server he said that the white wine was a smaller pour and I should order red if I want more volume! The gyro kebabs were pretty tasteless. Nit recommended if you want true Greek or Lebanese food. In reply to owner's response, the menu and prices were the regular ones posted on Yelp not Happy Hour. Plus you may be confusing me with another customer because my plate was only half eaten not clean. If you can't accept honest customer feedback without attacking then......, read more

I had a business lunch here with colleagues. We ordered the hummus, spanakopita, calamari, formaggio di capra,, Aragosta e cream di salmone, belly dancer, and the spiro. They really are a fusion restaurant trying new combinations, but every dish seem to have something that didn't mesh. For me, the artichokes in the aragosta e cream di samone dish didn't go well.

Coco Lezzone has become a new favorite spot for excellent takeout salads and sandwiches in DC.

Tried this place out and had a time! Food and service was great. Servers seemed eager to discuss the menu.

We went here because of the numerous glowing reviews. We were looking forward to a good meal, but we're definitely not going again. My friend specifically asked the s, you have such a big menu, with Italian, Lebanese, and Mediterranean food, what would you say the kitchen does especially well? And the waiter said, honestly, everything is great. The food wasn't bad, but it wasn't good. We got salmon pasta, bruschetta & seafood kale salad. All were just ok. We also got a couple of cocktails, I asked the server if one was sweet and he said yes, and it wasn't, tasted medicinal. I had a couple of sips but couldn't drink it. He didn't ask how it was or seem to notice that he was clearing a full glass. Service was nice but strange. I wasn't ready to order, but he took my friend's order and brought me a side salad, saying it was for if didn't order anything. Of course I was going to order, we were there for dinner. So, kind but odd. We have no idea how the restaurant has such good reviews - we were certainly looking forward to it, but unfortunately, do not recommend. read more
