Service and food were excellent. We went in January for my kids birthday and he was greeted with a birthday gift on the table. This time same reservation notes and no gift. So that was disappointing to a kid when you have that expectation and they were not consistent. Otherwise the food is top notch and the service is too

Our experience at Colletta was above and beyond our expectations. Our server was very friendly, attentive, and even brought a gift to the table based on the information I gave her about the guest of honor whose birthday it was! We will definitely be coming back for more special life events!

This was our first time coming to this location. We dined here for lunch as celebration for my sister’s birthday. The ambience was perfect! The food was amazing specifically, the Brussels sprouts! Our waitress, Zara was amazing as well. She was very accommodating, personable, and friendly. We received our food in a timely manner and enjoyed every bit of it. Overall, we will be coming back.
