Colosseo — Restaurant in England

Not sure about some of the reviews mentioning waiting time? We turned up on Friday evening with no reservation and was promptly seated upstairs, bar opened and soft background music ensued - which slowly started to fill up, we had complimentary bruschetta apperitiv which didn't take long, a small wait for starters/mains (as we wanted the garlic bread + fries alongside the main), I highly recommend the lobster ravioli, twas delicious😋. If you want fast food and a big choice of menu, then go to a fast food joint/large chain pub, if you want good food with a a select amount of well cooked tasty dishes, then visit here. Dessert was Amaretto slice - amazing. Good service, nice waiting staff. If I had to give any feedback, I would agree that a risotto option would be good and the garlic bread was a little bit over on this occasion but wouldn't stop me from returning as it was ideal for mopping up my pasta sauce. We had garlic bread to share, 2 mains, an alcoholic drink each and 1 dessert to share and it was a very...

We visited recently to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. Expectations were high as people had told us how good this restaurant is.

Overall, we enjoyed our experience, but we had some issues.

We were seated at 7pm and served a bottle of wine quite promptly. No food arrived until after 8pm. We were served a small bruschetta and then waited for our first course to follow. By the time that came, we’d been 90 minutes (give or take) with a bottle of wine and little food. We were there for 2 and a half hours, but a good chunk of that time was just sat at our table.

The restaurant was busy, I get that, and service was friendly. Food was decent, albeit I would not have been surprised had I been informed it had just been baked by the surface of the sun! Wow, our dishes were unnaturally hot!

The place could also do with some fans to cool the place down.

As I said, food was good and we did enjoy ourselves here. I do think there is room for improvement, but wish this place...

Great food. Connie is great and usually stops for a chat. Traditional and new Italian food that is always very well cooked and amazing to look at. I usually have a steak and my knife goes through it like butter. Never had a bad meal here. Atmosphere is fantastic. Can be intimate if not many in or like a big Italian family meal if other people there. You do tend to speak to other tables if it's full. Staff very attentive. Only down fall (could be literally) are the stairs that are very steep but you can opt to sit downstairs in the evening. Not priced expensively either. Connie has even offered to cook food not on the menu so that my faddy partner can go with me as usually go with friends. We do usually have a chocolate melting pot for desert, which is not always on the menu but we ask....
