    This place is a real treat. It is expensive but it is a real food experience and not just a meal. Incredible food. We had 4 courses, and then they bring a little something between or before all courses, such as little breads, a pre-dessert, they even brought these little 'corn dogs' that were actually duck, and presented so that they looked like the plant called cat-tails. It is not cheap, but it is an experience that you will like talk about and remember for a long time.

    Fantastic hidden gem! This is a wonderful restaurant with a great menu, excellent service, and delicious food. They do not rush you and allow you to linger for conversation. The portions are plentiful and the menu is creative- I love the grilled bruschetta chicken. Great choice for a nice dinner!

    My family went to Colletta tonight to celebrate my daughter turning “18”. I made the reservations and let the restaurant know and our preference of table. We got there and was a perfect corner spot with a wonderful view of the courtyard. A wonderful gift was waiting for her. We were all so surprised at the attention to detail with all the surprises. We started with the Focaccia, and We all had the chicken parmesan. Fantastic choices!! Wonderful taste and a hearty plenty. They brought the cake out and the server even offered to sing alone. lol We didn’t make her do that. It was a wonderful night and Kynlee felt so special. Thank you Colletta for an awesome experience for us.
