The service was attentive and knowledgeable and the food delicious. We had tender Cantabrian anchovies, cucumber in ayo blanc, fettuccine with pork ragu and monkfish in a Provencal sauce washed down with a dry Piedmont muscat. We will return!

We had a lovely celebratory meal for my husband’s 70th birthday. The food was excellent. The service very attentive by friendly staff. We were allowed to bring our own table decorations. My husband also had a complimentary birthday ‘plate’ with mini chocolate brownie with a candle which was a lovely unexpected treat.

About the restaurant

AA Accredited - COVID-19 Confident
We are not a ‘fancy pants’ establishment. Not in the least. We offer good quality, home-cooked, locally sourced (where possible) food. 90% of our menu is made on the premises. Certainly not ‘Pub Grub’ but not ‘Gastro Pub’ either. It’s good value for money. However, our standards are high, very high. Not only in the quality of the food that comes into and leaves the kitchen but also in the presentation, the delivery to the table and overall customer service. We’re definitely not ‘Silver Service’ either but all of our staff are attentive, smartly dressed and will always go that extra mile wherever they can. These are just some of the reasons we were awarded the Taste of the West GOLD award in 2019.
We are a dog friendly establishment, very dog friendly. However, please tell us at the time of booking so that we can place you in our Bar area , as opposed to our Restaurant.

wonderful meal for our 25th wedding anniversary, with 4 friends. Total 6 of us. Excellently and beautifully looked after by the Olive team. Food delicious and inventive. Lobster and a rhubarb dessert my favourites! A very nice setting, beautifully calmly decorated. Nobody too near the table and easy to chat even on rectangular table for 6.

About the restaurant

From our hand painted murals to the cosy fireplace, we have left no detail unturned in making sure our guests feel at home in Colosseo.

Your dish will not only be visually stunning, but will taste authentically Italian so you get the feeling of sitting in a restaurant on the cobbled streets of Rome. Choose from an array of dishes from pizzas to pastas and the finest cuts of meat to beautifully rich and decadent desserts.

Located in the heart of Bath, we are just a short walk away from some of Bath's most iconic attractions, like the famous Roman Bath Spas and the Theatre Royal.

When you enter Colosseo, our attentive staff is waiting to ensure every moment at your table is filled with delightful flavours, laughter, and the warmth of Italian hospitality. Whether it's a special celebration, a romantic dinner, or a casual gathering with friends, Colosseo is more than just a meal – it's a journey to the essence of Italian culture.
