Colletta

Colletta is always my go to when I'm craving Chicken Parmesan. The chicken parm at Colletta is cooked perfectly and has a good portion size. You can even get it drizzled with fresh Parmesan cheese. The atmosphere is perfect for a date night or even a special occasion. The cocktail list is also pretty good. My favorite is the Bitter Italian.

Came here with my best friend. We came on a busy weekend and they manage to seat us quickly. Theres alot of people seated but it was quiet inside. The food came out in a timely manner.We ordered the meatballs, calamari and brocolini for appetizers.We shared the Cassarecce pasta cause the portion is enoughfor two(ground pork sausage, zucchini, fox farm mushroom topped with freshly grated paramesan) which was delicious except the mushroom was a little overpowering for me.The meatball could of been seasoned more well and brocolini cooked better(chewy texture). The calamari came out fresh and made crispy how I like it. My favorite appetizer out of 3 would be the calamari and the tangy dipping sauce that came with it.They have a stunning interior with great service, I will try there other menu items in the future.

Food 3/5 overall. The calamari was pure breading (could barely find the pieces with meat) and the caesar salad arrived to the table wilted already. I got the pizza which was good. Service was good 4/5Interior was nice but there were quite a few flies inside to the point we were shooing them away from our food throughout the meal (seated inside). 3/5Overall I'd given the place a 3/5 total until I got my to go order I placed at the end of the meal. The $20+ chicken and waffles was 1) placed in all the sauces while ordered to go so was already soggy and 2) $20+ for ONE PIECE of fried chicken thigh and HALF of one waffle....wish I was joking. That took off a whole point for me. If a friend wanted to go here I wouldn't say oh no don't but if I'm choosing for myself I'd definitely opt out of this spot.

I wish I could give this restaurant more than 5 stars! We had the BEST experience here tonight. Being a Friday night there was going to be a wait in order to sit at a table, so we opted for the bar and it was such a good choice. Chris and Maria helped us throughout the night and they were AMAZING!!! Super fun, personable, and made our whole night. Not only were the people great, but the espresso martini... phenomenal!! I think someone said they got ranked #5 in North Carolina, but we ranked them #1. The Moscow mule and margarita were also delicious. For our meal we split the chicken parm and spicy soppressata pizza, both of which were great! The vibes were great and the bar area was super cute! Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone in the area or visiting.

My girlfriends and I have been wanting to try Colletta for some time now and we finally had the opportunity to do so! We came for lunch on a Saturday a few days ago around 2pm. My girlfriend had made a reservation two days prior for the four of us. We wanted to do dinner but there were no options within two hours of our request of 5pm (when they reopen for dinner), so lunch it was! Nestled in Fenton in Cary (first time at Fenton - love it), the ambiance is pretty nice, spacious and cozy. I wouldn't say this is a "fancy" spot but also not your average mediocre Italian spot. It's definitely above average. The service was also good. Rosie was our server; she was friendly and attentive.On to the menu, which is reasonably extensive but not overwhelming. I started with a glass of Paso Robles Cabernet; it was good. I like that they have quite a few wine by the glass options. My girlfriend ordered a Prosecco cocktail. We shared a few appetizers and a pizza to start: Calamari, Caesar salad, Marinated Olives, and Margherita pizza. The Calamari was not my favorite; pretty rubbery and didn't taste fresh. I love a good Calamari and this was not it. The olives were pretty good, as I love to get these at every restaurant I try. The Caesar salad was delicious, so fresh, huge portion to share, and the perfect amount of dressing! Now that PIZZA! So I follow pizza like a pro-golfer follows the PGA. Is this NY style pizza? No. Is it comparible to NY style pizza, not quite, but the quality and deliciousness is. I'm from NY and the best pizza obviously lives there. That being said, this is the best "wood fired" style pizza I've had in the area. Tazza Kitchen was my favorite, until I tried this. They are both amazing, but Colletta's Margherita pizza gives you fresh, flavorful, Italy style pizza vibes. The best pizza I've ever had was in Florence, Italy, and this almost compares. I would hands down visit this spot again just for that pizza, or two. We ended up also getting 3 entrées: Cacio De Pepe (one with breaded chicken and one with shrimp) and the Chicken Parmesan with vodka pasta. I'll start with the fact that they only offer "fried chicken or shrimp" to add as a protein to the Cacio De Pepe, which I found slightly odd if everything is made fresh here. I ordered the "fried chicken" and my friend the shrimp, both looked good. The fried chicken was actually more of a breaded chicken (same they use for Chicken Parmesan) and it was DELICIOUS. Perfectly tender and flavorful. Unfortunately, the actual spaghetti noodles with the Cacio De Pepe dish were very bland, soggy, and overcooked and so was my friend's who got the same dish. I was honestly surprised by this as that is an easy dish to make. Also, it was $25. For a simple pasta dish at that price point, it should be perfect. My friend's vodka pasta was pretty good, as I tried a bite. In conclusion, I would give this spot 3.5-4 stars for the experience we had but giving 4 because I'd definitely come back for the pizza, salad, wine, service, and atmosphere/location. I'd even try a pasta again, in hopes of it being better!

This place was on my list for so long and I was so excited to finally try it one night with my friends. But unfortunately, this is a restaurant where you go for a nice background in your photo rather than a delicious meal.I tried their version of carbonara and the noodles were sadly undercooked and very bland. The yolk served as no help. A few of my friends tried their other pastors, and nobody was impressed or satisfied. I sent back and replace of their pizza which saved my night I would come back for pizza and cocktails.

First time visiting and I'm definitely coming back for the pizza, carrots, and the spumoni. The flavors in all three of those were amazing. The spumoni is extremely sweet, so if you're not a fan of super sweet, maybe choose another option. The tiramisu was different than I would expect from a traditional version, but it was okay. And the pasta dish that we ordered was "meh". In comparison to everything else, there wasn't much flavor which was disappointing based on the description.The waitress was very kind and offered to bring something else out since we weren't a fan of the pasta dish. We didn't take her up on the offer but I appreciated the gesture.Overall, it's a great spot for date night or for taking guests. Considering a birthday dinner here

From first views of the restaurant from the streets of Fenton, to the incredible ambiance of the interior, Colletta knocked it out of the park. My wife and I had reservations for her birthday, and the first... not the last example of them going above and beyond was the thoughtfulness of their acknowledging her special day with a gift left on the table specifically for her. Service was spot on, recommendations and plate presentations (and of course flavors) were on target, and we could not have asked for a better dining experience. I have finally found an Italian restaurant that I cannot wait to return to!

Dining at Colletta is a unique experience. Making a reservation is imperative on busy days. I made a booking for two on a Thursday four days out and the peak times were already full. I first heard of Colletta through a local Instagram food vlog and wanted to try them out. The place seems to be the spot to go for special occasions. Dining in one of the corner or barside booths can carry an intimate vibe.My neighbor and I were greeted by the hostess and shown to our table. The restaurant answered my phone call promptly when I told them we might be late. I appreciate their quick response!Our server was Ashley. She and Nicole went above and beyond to make our experience wonderful. Ashley showed us how to order from Colletta's menu. We enjoyed a three-course meal with drinks. We got their wild boar casarecce and lasagna bolognese. My neighbor's Italian, and it takes a lot to satisfy him. I can say that Colletta satisfied his high bar on how good Italian should taste.I chose their vanilla gelato dessert and was pleased with the presentation. This is certainly the place to celebrate. Hats off to the staff!

food, service, ambiance ... 10/10 one of the best eatery experiences I have ever had . The customer service was unmatched from everyone, even the staff who was not assigned to my table. They clear out the table and box your food after each course and they are so knowledgeable and eager to share info about the dishes served . What a great experience !
