The food was fantastic. The portions were large I had the double pork chop and high was unbelievable it was very crowded with several very large parties and it seemed like there wasn't enough staff

Dining at I'll Colosseo is an OUTSTANDING and most MEMORABLE experience!!! The quality of the food products are stellar, as is the taste and generous portion size. The service by the very friendly staff is impeccable. They are welcoming and treat you like family! Pasquale, the manager is awesome and super accommodating. He will customize anything to your liking. Henry was a great waiter offering menu suggestions and his personal favorites. One very impressive trait was the attention to detail everyone possessed. Constantly staying on top of filling water, making sure grated cheese and pepper accompanied your meal, spacing food courses appropriately, generous bread portion offered with EVOO and butter. Great restaurant to celebrate special occasions. This restaurant compares to the finest dining experiences in foodie cities!!! You feel like you are dining in a Michelin star restaurant. It's just that delicious and exceptional!!! Can't wait to return to Il Colosseo to enjoy another wonderful dining experience!!! Hillary G.

This was my sixth visit to Il Colosseo. The food at this restaurant is absolutely fabulous. Our waiter, Antonio, suggested the Sicilian white wine that I found dry and flavorful. Although we brought a bottle of Santa Margarita, we deceived to try their wines and were not disappointed. The cocktails sounded and looked great as well. Our main dishes were a special Bronzino, and a Pollo Toscanini. Both dishes were wonderful. This is one of the few Restaurants where I asked for “no salt” and was not served a plate of salty food. Antonio was a great server and was charming as well. I look forward to going back in the near future when we are not watching our calories. Lol

This was our first time here, we heard good things about this place so we figured why not. Don't get discouraged if you wait! We had a 8:45 seating but the restaurant couldn't seat us until 9:15. Once we sat down we were greeted by Henry who made us feel like we were regular guests. He was very nice and polite. The food was very good & fresh. The sauce was on point ?was used Bravo to the chef. You are getting a Brooklyn experience in food quality. Noise levels are a bit high but the owner is working on that. Thanks to Mr. Pasquale he's doing an excellent job running this business for the last four years. This is a must try place that could become your regular spot.

Everything was excellent. The food and service were excellent. The only issue was the noise level. At times I was unable to talk to the person seated next to me. The noise came from the other patrons. The noise is not caused by the restaurant. Maybe the restaurant should put some sound buffering treatments on the wall. ??♂️

Room is very noisy. They serve liquor now but it's expensive, higher than competitors. Don't understand why there was an up charge on every entry on the bill? Then there's the up charge for using a credit card, seriously? If you can deal with all that, food is excellent but pricy.

The food was excellent. But I didn't appreciate needing to wait along with our friends we were eating with outside in the cold for 25 minutes after our reservation time. I've never needed to wait that long for a reserved table. There was not enough room in the entrance to wait inside. While I love to food, I am not sure I will go back.

The food is always amazing, and the service as well. Relaxing atmosphere, you never feel rushed. The only negative is there is a service charge if you pay with credit card . And they charged me $9 service fee for gluten free.

They forgot to make my son's pizza so our family of 6 gave him portions of our dinners so he could eat with us instead of watching us eat! Finally 15minutes after our dinners came out and we were all almost done his pizza came out! Waiter didn't write anything down when he took our orders so he simply forgot! Food came out cold, way too dark in the restaurant people actually had little flash lights out to look at menu! For such a high end Italian restaurant it was a really disappointing night!! Overall thumbs down from food to service and atmosphere!!

NYE reservations (made over a month in advance) Did not meet our expectations (from prior visits) Lack of menu items, terrible communication of BYOB transitioning to now serving alcohol. Was told to wait to be seated (30 minutes after our reservation) Asked to speak to manager numerous times, response was he's was to busy to come speak to us. Server was professional and empathetic to their mishaps. Embarrassed and disappointed we brought our friends , can not recommend this establishment for any future bookings. Much better restaurants in the extremely nearby vicinity.

What a great evening. The food was delicious. The octopus appy was so tender. Veal special and the swordfish special were indeed special! Our waiter, Paul was the thorough, efficient and knowledgeable about the menu. It was a crazy busy night but he never forgot about us. A wonderful dining experience. Can't wait to go back

Exceedingly popular, Il Colosseo has spectacular food and unparalleled service. A white tablecloth dining experience, we are never disappointed. The regular menu has wonderful selections, like grilled octopus and shrimp scampi that is not overwhelmed with garlic. Their special menu is filled with innovative and delightful options. For this reason Il Colosseo is a weekly destination for us.

Waiter and service great. Food was delicious a little high priced but expected from BYOB. Although $18 for a bowl of soup is pretty ridiculous. Noise level was the downer - you had to scream at the people at your table it was so loud. That needs to be addressed by owner - it takes away from the dining experience. So good food and service but high noise and prices.
