About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for groups
  • Good for special occasions
Il Colosseo is an Italian restaurant that is a local favorite. The dining room here is small and intimate, which adds to the homey atmosphere the eatery provides. At the back of the dining room, Il Colosseo has an open kitchen where guests can watch as the talented kitchen staff prepares the food. The kitchen is dominated by a giant brick oven where the staff cooks up all of its incredible pizzas.Il Colosseo begins its menu with antipasti like fried calamari for two, baked clams, sautéed octopus, sautéed broccoli rabe and a pasta e fagioli soup with white kidney beans and fusilli noodles in a light tomato broth. Some of the various entrées diners can sample are a chicken Francese, spicy shrimp fra diavolo, veal piccata, pasta bolognese and the Frank Sinatra pasta made with black olives, clams, mussels and shrimp in a garlic and white wine sauce.

    We love going to Il Colosseo as it is a neighborhood gem. Yesterday, they had a party in the party room and large tables with large groups. Our waiter was very attentive and the food is always amazing. That's why we continue to come back.

    Great food and amazing staff. From the hotess, waiter, busboy to the manager all very welcoming and check on you to make sure your satisfied. We were there on Easter and it was extremely busy. We arrived 30 minutes late from our reservation but we're seated right away. We were not rushed at all. We have a toddler and they were very kid friendly. We enjoy all their dishes from pizza, to pasta and desserts. This is our second time going and definitely not our last. Definitely recommend making reservations especially on holidays.
