Everything else was pretty average but the servers were great and so was the atmosphere. Will be returning soon! For sure! Thank you guys!

Unfortunately we did not have a good dining experience. Even though we had reservations that we had to put 75 dollars down to ensure no show for, they didn’t have our table ready when we arrived. We waited 15-20 minutes to be placed. The waitress was very slow, even to bring water. They took a long time to bring bread, and after asking a few times, they brought a cold focaccia that hadn’t been cooked, then later brought a cooked focaccia. This was the only food that was of really good taste; everything else was just ok. And the environment was so loud! I couldn’t talk to my husband across the table. We were very disappointed. The place looks beautiful and we love Fenton; but we were really let down by this experience.

Upon arrival, we were seated immediately. Initial approach by server wasna little slow and that continued thru our entire meal. Had to request items such as spoons for eating pasta and parmigiana cheese more than once. Food is wonderful...we really enjoyed Ravioli, Bucatini, Lasagna and Chicken Parmigiana, Wine selection is good and paired nicely with the menu.

The food at Colletta was exceptional as was the service. Everything came out in a timely manner. We ordered off the lunch menu and there were plenty of choices. Last trip here we had dinner and that was another great experience. I wish we lived closer so we could go more often but it’s worth the drive when we go.
