Colletta

I'm not the biggest fan of pasta but I love this place! I've been here many times now and I haven't been disappointed yet. I've ordered almost everything on the menu and my favs would include the meatballs, the pizza and most recently, the flounder special served in December. Pasta pics are dishes my guests ordered and they all enjoyed them as well. Ask for Julienne because she provided excellent service, great suggestions and a side of the best smile!

Incredible experience. Fantastic service and atmosphere (almost all the tables were full but the acoustics in the building were amazing - we could hear everyone at our table of 7 perfectly without shouting over the noise of a busy restaurant). And of course amazing food! The table bread was amazing, as was the bread that came with the burrata. The pasta was incredibly fresh as well. Would absolutely return if we lived closer. Everyone was happy with their food except one person whose chicken (he ordered the chicken Parm dish) was overcooked and dry. But I'll take one mistake out of seven dishes as a win, especially as so many restaurants are short staffed right now.

First timers with a group of 8. Nice atmosphere, open kitchen, prompt and attentive service. I had fish over eggplant with a half Caesar salad and a couple Proseccos. Fish was delicious and the eggplant was a different vegetable for fish. Wife had lasagna with a half garden salad and a Prosecco. She wasn’t thrilled with the lasagna. Noodles were limp over cooked and the sauce was dry. She should have gone with the pappardelle as recommended. We had no dessert but others liked the gelato. All in all a nice outing.

The restaurant is elegant and the staff is nice. It’s a bit pricey but totally worth it—the food is incredible, the mixture of different flavors and textures is absolutely stunning. Everything tasted fresh and the ingredients are of high quality. The presentation of the food was beautiful too. We had to wait quite a long time for the appetizers but then the entrees arrived too soon—we haven’t finished the appetizers yet. We had to wait quite a long time for the desserts too, but the manager came over to apologize for the long wait time and that meant a lot to us; we really felt like they care about their guests. Oh and the cocktails and mocktails are superb too!! The music was way too loud, though, we couldn’t really talk to each other. Highly recommended, can’t wait to go back to try more dishes!

While the food is delicious, this review is for our server JUSTIN who was absolutely amazing. We didn’t wait long at all to place drinks and food orders (and we ate on a Friday night), and he was incredibly attentive and friendly. He even made an extra attempt to find us a dessert that was sold out for the night. Wonderful experience!

This is my favorite restaurant in Avalon. The food and service are excellent here. My preferred item to purchase is the burrata. This establishment is constantly busy, so if you're interested in dining here, I recommend making a reservation in advance. I saw they have modified their menu and I must say I am pleased with the new options. This is a restaurant that I would gladly frequent. If you are reading this review, I strongly advise you to drive to Colletta immediately.
