Amazing experience. Great service, try any of the Crispy pizzas. The cheesecake is huge. 1 slice is like for 3 people. We brought out baby, but we tried keeping her very quiet. There was live music and it was also fantastic. Dimly lit but good photos still. Overall a great experience and a good date night

They had some mellow live music in the courtyard today, which sounded amazing from inside the restaurant. We had desserts and coffee. Everything was house-made and wonderful. I always see the owner checking on people when we visit, and she's always wearing the most fabulous shoes I've ever seen. I actually look forward to seeing her shoes when we go. 😄👠

Colletti’s is hands down one of the best Italian spots in Harlingen. The food is consistently amazing—rich, flavorful, and cooked perfectly every time. The portions are generous, and everything tastes fresh and authentic. The service is just as great—friendly, attentive, and makes you feel right at home. The atmosphere has that classic, cozy Italian feel that makes the whole experience even better. Definitely a go-to spot for a great meal. Highly recommend!
