Coco Nini's Lounge - Carlisle

Ate here passing through on a long journey home. Amazing service and atmosphere plus the food was great. Italian club was delicious and the fries where some of the best I’ve had. Talked to one of the owners and she was friendly and welcoming. Great experience.

This is a fantastic local restaurant. I've dined there several times over the past six months, and the food has consistently been excellent. The service is attentive and courteous. The daily food specials offer extra variety to an already wonderful menu.

Stopped here for our Valentine's Date Night.Seated right away on a Saturday evening around 5:15 pm. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful in deciding what options to choose for our meals. I also chose to have the Italian margarita since I love amaretto! It's sweeter than a normal margarita but was still delicious!We ordered the pickle fries. These were fantastic! Please try them when you're here.I ordered the Creamy Lemon Penne with chicken. The entree came with a side salad for which I ordered their creamy parmesan dressing. An Italian restraint staple! The dressing was amazing, garlic, and flavorful! The emtree also came with rolls and butter. The pasta sauce was not overly lemony, but enough of the flavor to give the dish a yummy kick.We also enjoyed a triple layer truffle cake for dessert. Boy am I stuffed, but this was the best Italian food I have had in a very long time from a restaurant!

Second time having this place since moving here. Its super tasty food everyone loved their dinner in the family. Will be ordering from again.

Consistently awesome food and service. They have the best onion rings around! Cavatelli with Diablo sauce is delicious, as is all their entrees. Well worth the short drive from Des Moines.
