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...
