  Very expensive and service can be slow and bad. Good food and good vibes downtown, but that's during the morning. The food is mildly tasty, but horrendous service. Hair in food, burnt pizza, and fishy French toast. On top of that we sent a pizza back for burntness, and they tried to serve the other person in our group the same burnt pizza, now cold, thinking we would not notice. When they took the hairy pizza away, which is mandatory for their conduct, they did not bring out a new one and after 45 minutes we just canceled the order. Overall very disappointed and it felt like they were trying to create a extremly professional vibe, but their atmospheres hopes, is not its reality. It's rather kind of messy and like I said can leave you disappointed.

  I had an absolutely amazing experience here, almost better than any other restaurant I’ve been to, and I do go out to eat a couple times a week. I set a reservation there for four people for my father‘s birthday dinner and upon setting the reservation I received a message asking about his hobbies/interest. I wasn’t sure what they were going to do with that information, but at the dinner they gave him a gift, which I have never seen a restaurant do before. They also served us a complimentary meatball appetizer (which was absolutely delicious). And since none of us are really dessert people, they gave us complementary Prosecco at the end. All in all, service exceeded my expectations, as well as all of the expectations of my guests in my party, and we definitely do plan on coming back. The service was amazing from the hostess to the waiter. The food was great as well. Not only did the food taste good, but each plate had its own unique flavor. And the ambience was very inviting and warm.

  Visiting with my cousin in Raleigh from Cleveland, he suggested that we go to Colletta in Cary, NC for dinner last night (15 Nov 2025). What an amazing experience!! We had reservations for 8:15 and the table was delayed (the people sitting there at the table before us were “camping” for a bit after their meals), The manager was super nice and when we finally sat down (at 8:40), he gave us a couple of appetizers on the house which were DELICIOUS! The food was AMAZING!! Cooked to perfection, correct temperature, and flavor, WOW! We were so very impressed. But… it was our server, Corey L that made the meal very special. He was so very attentive and was there when you needed him, but not pushy. But what impressed me the most, was his very caring nature. My stomach started acting up a bit from something I ate earlier in the day and he graciously wrapped my meal in a To Go container. Also, he brought me a glass of soda water (club soda/ seltzer) with a few bitters in it to settle my stomach. I was so very grateful for his concern and compassion. Corey L is a definite asset to Colletta and the next time I come down to visit my cousin, I know EXACTLY where I’m going to eat… and I”m going to request Corey L as my server!! Keep up the great work, Colletta.

  Great experience. Had a 4:30 reservation. Robert provided great service tonight. He was friendly and prompt. Food was amazing. Got the ravioli and it was by far one of the best dishes I’ve ever had. It was pretty busy but still easy to have a conversation so wasn’t too loud. They have an open kitchen and my dad was fascinated with watching them and the expo work so 10/10 for entertainment as well I guess! Lol

  I’d never been here before, and I didn’t even know this place existed until an hour before I went—but my time here has me still wanting to go back as soon as I can. I came to celebrate my 26th birthday with my family, have a lowkey night with some lowkey vibes and enjoy amazing food, and honestly, any expectations I had about Colletta were blown out of the water. From the moment I stepped in the door (they can take reservations btw), I was greeted by smiling faces wishing me a happy birthday and welcoming me in for the very first time. From there, my experience only got better. The girl who helped us—I feel awful for blanking on her name because she 1000% deserves recognition—was extremely personable and cracked jokes with my family and I throughout the night as we dined. She made us feel welcome, and almost like we were the only people in there. She helped us navigate the menu, offering her knowledge of it to provide recommendations and help us decide. I ended up getting the Chicken Parm over a bed of rigatoni and vodka sauce, and honestly I had forgotten to take a picture before I had absolutely annihilated half the pasta—it WAS indeed that good. Outside of the food, there was an ambient hum of conversation throughout the night that never rose to unreasonable levels, no matter how many people came through the door. It made for easy and light conversation without getting drowned out by normal restaurant noise for the entire time I was there. Now, I typically don’t write a whole lot of reviews, but Colletta and the people there offered me such an amazing experience that I just had to share it. Now I know that three things are for certain: Death, Taxes, and that I will be back here for 27😌
