    The restaurant is very nice and has a great atmosphere. Our server Hudson was excellent, very attentive and personable. Food was very good but maybe not quite worth the prices. Focaccia appetizer was excellent, chicken parm and tagliatelle were very good but not great. Wine selection was good as well. Would go back to try other dishes.

    Beautiful venue. Service and food were very disappointing. We were not offered bread, fresh Parmesan cheese for our pasta dishes, and the waiter didn’t return for beverage refills. Overpriced and poor service with lack of attention to detail. A total miss!

    Colletta - Cary, NCResponded today

    Hi There, I am sorry to hear that you did not receive the 5 star dining experience you deserved. I am sorry your server did not inform you about our house made focaccia bread available for purchase on our antipasti menu and that you were not offered parmesan. I am sorry your waiter was not attentive and did not refill your drinks. This is embarrassing and not our standard. I will be discussing with the team at our next preshift meeting. Please reach out to me directly if you can provide any more information or feedback about your server so we can discuss with them and make sure we are providing the server you deserve. Thank you, Joe Bee General Manager 912-508-8721

    This was our first time at Colletta. We had an early reservation (5:30pm). The restaurant interior is nice but, like many restaurants these days, it was very loud. Some generic canned music was playing when we were first seated. This went away later and there was no music being played. The ice skating rink nearby is a big draw for children and we had a group of very energetic youngsters seated right behind us. I have nothing against children but it did nothing to add to the kind of ambience we would prefer. The waitress was great and service was pretty good considering it was quite busy even at the early hour. We both enjoyed our glasses of wine. The mussels were pretty good but in a spicy broth. We prefer a more traditional white wine broth that doesn’t overpower the delicate taste of the mussels. Our second course was an arugula and prosciutto pizza. It was average. We like the arugula pizza at Tazza Kitchen more. Overall Colletta was ok but not really anything special and the ambience was not upscale but more family friendly. Maybe if we had eaten at a later time it wouldn’t have seemed that way.

    Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! The staff, food, atmosphere! The lasagna is to die for. I also got the Bucatini… yummy. I tried an appletini or something like that. The bartender recommended it. I’ve been here twice in 2 weeks. And I’m keep coming back! The clam strips and pizza were great appetizers.

    We absolutely loved our dinner experience at Colletta! The food, drinks, environment, and service were all excellent. Parker was our server and he was extremely attentive and made our experience extra enjoyable. We had a birthday and they went above and beyond to make it a special occasion in a way that no other restaurant has done for us before.

    Big thank you to McKenzie (our server) and her assistant/trainee(?) and to Diana, the manager. Everyone was professional, accommodating and kind. The food was great; McKenzie's attention, recommendations and service was IMPECCABLE. Diana stopped by to welcome us, thank us for coming, congratulated my sons on their milestone events and followed up to ensure we were happy before we left. One note of constructive criticism: The bar was remarkably slow. Our bar drinks took far, far too long to hit our table. In fact, for example, my second drink didn't make it till my dessert arrived. I'd intended to order a mixed coffee drink with dessert but didn't because of the lag time for bar drinks. McKenzie and her partner were active and attentive so I feel strongly that the servers are not the cause for the delay. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making us feel like valued guests. I would definitely book our next special occasion at one of your restaurants, and we look forward to trying O-Ku for sushi one day soon (thanks for the recommendation, McKenzie!!).

    The place is pretty and it was okay food, not anything to write home about. Three of us had the chicken parm and it was dry and burnt. Not nearly enough sauce. We got a bread as an appetizer and one of us asked for butter to be brought out. Though we asked her three times, we never got the butter. We also ordered two pizzas and when the food arrived only one pizza came out. The second one came after everyone was done eating. I did like the atmosphere, but I would not go there again. There are other Italian restaurants in the area that I can get better chicken parm for a lot less money.

    Colletta - Cary, NCResponded on November 16, 2023

    Hi Holly, I am sorry to hear about the forgetful service you received during your visit. I will discuss with your server and discuss ways to make sure we are hitting all the marks and not let things slip through the cracks. I apologize for the burnt and dry chicken parm that lacked sauce. This is not acceptable by our standards. I apologize for the timing of your dishes. It is our policy to only present each course once it is complete so that you do not have guests waiting for their food. We will discuss with the whole team including our chefs and managers at our next daily preshift meeting so this does not happen in the future. Please reach out to me directly if there is anything I can do for you. Thank you, Joe Bee General Manager 912-508-8721

    Great service, knowledgeable staff, great food (I had the ravioli and it was delicious) and lively atmosphere. My two friends and I had dinner at Coletta on a Monday. Our reservation was early 5:15 and there was probably just a handful of other full tables. By 6:30 the restaurant was packed, and it was hard to hear my friends across the table. I would definitely come here again, but I would like to try their outside seating.
