Colosseo Ristorante Italiano

The service is good and the atmosphere is nice, however I think they need to reduce the size of their menu. My husband’s food was good and he has been there before and the food was good. Salad was good. Bread was really hard and bad, like plain grocery store rolls.

I ordered a seafood pasta late on a Thursday night and it made me violently ill. When it came out it looked and smelled like cat food and was drowning in a gross amount of imitation crab. I didn’t say anything because the interior of the restaurant was so nice I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt.

When you have 100 things on the menu and you’re open so late, it’s inevitable some items aren’t going to be fresh or good. But as a customer there’s no way for me to discern what will be good and what won’t be. For $30+ a plate after tax I’m not willing to give somewhere that served me vile food and made me sick another chance.

I adore this place! The delicious dishes and pasta are some of my favorites. Sadly, I have only had the chance to enjoy their decadent tiramisu a few times. Despite its pleasant atmosphere and excellent service, it's unfortunate that desserts were rarely available during my visits. If you're looking for an Italian restaurant and want to try some of the traditional Italian dishes, I would recommend visiting.

Great food. Quick reception from the host, who was also serving. She was managing all the tables - superwoman. Good service despite that. Food came out hot and was very tasty. Love the decore. LOTS on the menu so something for everyone.

Ordered for take out and the pasta was really good as always! What disappointed me was the pizza which was totally burnt from the edges! On calling them back the lady at the front was nice enough to acknowledge that they had some oven issues leading to burnt pizzas and suggested we come back, bring the original pizza for inspection and then take a fresh one! By the time I was done on the phone, few slices were taken out by others. Not worth taking the trip again but iv surely had better service at other restaurants!

Busy room when we arrived for dinner.

Our server was probably in the washroom. Or something I ng as we didn't get any service after being seated. I had to flag the server for a neighbouring table, and she was surprised we didn't even get our waters yet. Our server eventually made her appearance when she brought our food. She came by often enough after, but there always seemed a little like she was urging us to finish up and leave after the main dinner rush left and the restaurant was empty.

The food was good enough. Pasta was good and plentiful. Pizza tasted good but kind of soft and limp. I'm a little disappointed as I like a crispy bottom that is strong enough to hold itself up when you hold it on one end with a fold.

Free street parking was plentiful in this neighbourhood, even at dinner time.

The food was absolutely incredible.
And as everyone else says, the specialty breadsticks are nothing short of amazing.

One thing I found odd, normally when I go to a restaurant, I order my appetizers right away and mains/entrées after I've decided.. they told us that we HAD to order together because the kitchen knows to prepare it right.. or something like that, which I did not appreciate. We always order appetizers right away so that they are out by the time we decide what we want for a main, I've never had a restaurant tell me we had to order our entire meal altogether.

Regardless, the food was delicious.

The setting of places excellent, one can imagine that one is in Italy.
The seasoning of the food is very nice, the quality of the ingredients is good.
Unfortunately the service is terribly bad, the assignment of the table did not take long, but it took almost half an hour to take our order and almost an hour to serve us, then to ask for the bill was a similar story. It wasn't that there were many people, the service staff wasted a lot of time, joking with each other.

It's not a bad place when you have a lot of time to waste.
