I have dined at Le Colonial more than 20 times, and the quality of the food has been consistently outstanding. The ingredients are fresh, and the flavors are delicious. The service is impeccable—it is always a pleasure to be warmly greeted by Clark, the exceptional host, and served by Edwin, who is incredibly professional and friendly. The cocktails are fantastic, and while the wine list is not extensive, it is thoughtfully curated. Overall, Le Colonial never fails to provide an excellent experience.

Our server Bridget was attentive and engaging. The food was fantastic! We split several things including the caviar chive dip, truffle fries, filet trio, and crab stuffed lobster. All of it was delicious. The cocktails were perfectly executed and there’s a good wine list. There was a fun piano player and the volume wasn’t overpowering. We will definitely be back!

This was our first time trying North Italia and we absolutely will be returning. The waiter did a great job with recommendations and was extremely kind. We had the calamari and shrimp scampi as appetizers and they were both amazing! Then of course we had to try the vodka pasta and squid ink SOOOO good! We will definitely be returned very soon!
