The restaurant setting is lovely - dim lights, open view into the kitchen, and a nice view of the square. Our server was attentive and fast. The food was very average for the price, but decent portion sizes.

The vibe is a happy energetic one. We ordered the ceaser salad, which I thought was just ok. Will definitely be trying a different salad next time. We also ordered the chicken Parmesan, which was AMAZING and the meat ball pizza. The pizza is SPICY with the cherry peppers tho so beware. But been tasty. Our server was impeccable, coursed out the meal perfectly so you don’t feel rushed, and very friendly. Will definitely be going back, food is excellent!

The restaurant is beautiful however the food and service need major improvements. I had the chicken parmesan. The chicken tasted ok but the spaghetti was extremely bland and the texture was starchy. I alerted the waitress and she boxed up the chicken and took the spaghetti. She charged me for the entire entree even though I didn’t eat the spaghetti. I’m grateful that the manager made it right but I doubt that I will return.

We were very impressed with all the little complimentary extras Colletta included to make our birthday visit so special. They reached out ahead of time to ask about the hobbies/interests of the birthday person. They offered complimentary Prosecco and dessert in honor of him. They surprised him with a gift based on the hobbies I had responded to them. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly, polite, and they kept checking back to see if things were to our liking. The assistant general manager stopped by twice to see if we were enjoying our evening. The food was exceptional. Their lasagna bolognese takes three days to make and it is amazing! The osso bucco fell off the bone - perfectly tender. I would definitely recommend Colletta for a memorable place to celebrate.

First time, food was good, service was better. I would go again, maybe try the pizza, that seemed to be a popular item. Good location, encourage me to visit more often.
