Coletta's Italian Restaurant

The marinated chicken is always so tender and tasty . Ask for extra marinade and mix it with the Alfredo pasta, it's so amazing!! Had excellence service with Jeremy. The restaurant was clean but a little on the cold side.

1st and last time here. 1 bartender on a Sat night. Awful. No one else helping pick-up the slack.

Amazing food & Service! Beautiful inside. If you In area you need to go to this restaurant- you will love it. I am very picky and loved everything. Bread amazing, Toasted Ravioli Amazing, BBQ pizza amazing ordered medium so much food. Never had a pizza like this and it was so delicious. We got BBQ and meat sauce on side Prices were good Great place to go to Highly recommend

Visiting Colettas? What type of service and dining experience are you going to have?Check out a couple of recent reviews.Nov 5, 2023horrible service ....need better servers . Begging them to bring us bread but would never bring.Dec 3, 2023My Italian marinated chicken and spaghetti was abysmal. Absolutely abysmal. The flavoring was alright but the chicken itself was horribly dry.Jan 10, 2023For a place that is "liked" by so many, it is an utter trash hole. This is my second time trying it because I thought they may have had an off night.Nope. It's the same trash. Did they give up? I've honestly had better Italian food out of the frozen food isle of Kroger.On Yelp, Coletta's has a 2 and a half start rating. Lets go for it.So how did visit go this week?We called the establishment to set up a reservation for 06-27-24, at 1900 with a party of ten. Several of us arrived early and were told that the tables will be ready shortly an were directed to the bar to wait.First off, I did not get the name of the young man that was managing the bar that night. While he was greatly my junior, he had an excellent working knowledge and respectful of the classical cocktails and the house specialty drinks. He served us with finesse. Shortly, we were called into the dining room by the hostess. Yes, the building is getting on in years, yet is well worth looking around. The fountain adds a quiet restful touch to the dining room, yet it seems so few take a minute to appreciate it. Once you are at your table, glance around the room, you imagine yourself sitting on a terrace in Italy. Let your mind go a few minutes, relax.Eric. our waiter efficiently handed out menus and took our drink orders and brought fresh rolls with butter for the table. Rolls, not Italian bread, fresh out of the oven rolls.Once he took our orders, while I didn't time anything, the orders started coming out of the kitchen in a reasonable time. Realize that I'm with a group of ten other people, and none of us mentioned a problem with any of the meals that were brought out. As I've been out with this group before, often some faults are found and spoken about - to the rest of us, and not necessarily reported to the staff as a problem.The meals were definitely 4 star. As for the service, Eric did an excellent job - attentive, not overbearing and appeared at the right times, and did not annoy any of us. Thanks to Eric and the unnamed bar tender, this visit deserves a 5 start review. There were other parties being served, however, it wasn't a busy night. The establishment was clean, the men's room was clean. Its an older building that is starting to show its age, yet it is well worth visiting.The 5 Star Review Rating:In contrast to my review, I have recieved comments from friends, neighbors that have visited Coletta's over the past several months and have had problems with the staff and / or food. One must be aware that many establishments sometimes have problems in either front of the house or back of the house and sometimes both. We selected the restaraunt because they can handle large groups. Yet, we knew there might be problems. The visit to restaraunt for the group went smoothly and there were no problems.

I went to Coletta's for my friend graduation celebration on June 1st, 2024. The first thing I noticed was the outside of the building. The building look a little rough outside, and probably need a paint job and cleaning. Also when I got inside the restaurant there were some kind of strange smell that lasted a little bit, but noticeable. Our waitress that serve everyone was nice and very patient while we waited for everyone to get to the restaurant. I was starring at the beautiful water fountain while I waited. Our waitress bought out some bread. The bread was very delicious to get ready for the rest of my meal. I also tried one of the guests fried ravioli and Italian spinach. Definitely wasn't a fan of both items. For my main dish I decided to get the Coletta Burger and Fries. The fries definitely needed more seasoning to pop out. The Coletta Burger was ok, it was hard to hold it sometimes because how big it was. I ended up using a fork and knife to help myself attempt to eat the burger. I'm not sure if the mushrooms and onions go well with the meat sauce on the burger.

Ugh, I hate to write this review. The building itself is looking rough. There was mold on the ceilings and vents as well as our tablecloth. Yuck. The service was ok. The food was pretty good. The rolls were excellent. I enjoyed my Chicken Alfredo. But the marinara of my others guests were so oily, it was glistening. Overall, I'm really sad about this since I've heard it's a Memphis favorite. But I will not be returning unless it gets a good cleaning and update.

The servers are really nice refill your drinks and ask how the food is. I love the walls and in the middle there's a cool fountain.

As of December 2023~ Food was decent Service was good. Mediocre The environment was nice, relaxing. All the servers and workers were nice. Expect for one guy that wasn't a server. We asked him to take a picture of our family and the first thing he asked was where was our server... kinda weird and rude.

I ordered from DoorDash and order toasted ravioli. This is a picture of what I got. Attached picture below. I also ordered chicken parmesan. And got a literal rubber piece of meat threw it all away. I used to go here all the time and order from here all the time I'm not sure what happened.

We have always enjoyed Coletta's in the past, but we ordered a family lasagna to-go tonight, and it was one of the worst lasagnas we have ever had. It was undercooked, and there had to be less than 1/4 pound of meat in the entire pan. The whole thing was just noodles, cheese and sauce. We won't be back
