Who is behind CocaiExpress?
CocaiExpress is run by COCAI SRL, a Venetian startup founded in 2020, during the lockdown, by four friends from Venice. It started by delivering meals on foot for local restaurants and has grown into the on-foot delivery network of the historic centre, with its own apps. It has been featured in Il Sole 24 Ore, la Repubblica, Rai (TGR Veneto), Il Gazzettino, La Nuova Venezia and VeneziaToday, among others, and is a member of NVIDIA Inception.
Can I ship Murano glass or souvenirs home?
Yes. We pick up at your door and ship to Italy, Europe or worldwide, up to 9 kg and 110 cm per side. Murano glass and wine go through a dedicated service: message us on WhatsApp and we arrange packing and shipping.
