You want authentic neighborhood italian food this is it all fresh very reasonable and great service and best of all local in Bensonhurst a hidden gem better then some italian resturants in MHT bravo
Excellent food, great wine.. I think they didn't have enough waitstaff and that was annoying. But the pizza, baked clams, grilled octopus and fennel salad as starters was delicious.. did I mention the pizza? Excellent!!! Red snapper livornese with a side of linguini was exceptional. I just wish the service was better. I'm going back no matter what....
One of my fave places on the planet. The best pizza and grilled polpo piccolo there is!

Best kept secret in Brooklyn. You've got to have the grilled octopus. The pizza is awesome too!!! My favorite place by far
Nice place!
The best restaurant in Brooklyn , they created a good music 🎶 at the weekend and people enjoying the food here .
The staff are so friendly and faster.
I love this place.
The eggplant parm was excellent, as was the seafood risotto. Flavorful and well cooked. The dessert was mediocre though. Not sweet enough, the dark chocolate was too bitter.
We had a reservation for 12 yesterday at 3PM before heading back to Dyker for the lights. They gave us a table in the back room which was perfect because we had 5 small kids running around and we didn’t bother anyone back there. Our waiter was Alfredo (?) who was wonderful and attentive. He engaged with the kids, had stories for the adults, and he and the bus boy were incredibly patient. The food was great, my out of town relatives enjoyed a treat of good Brooklyn Italian food. They loved it. My only comment is the shrimp scampi could have used a little more garlic. We had a great family dinner!
My uncle lives walking distance from this place and he is a regular here. I have ordered out a few times and this is the first time I dined in. The service was great and the Calamari, the Penne Broccoli Rabe and the Linguine alle Vongole was OUTSTANDING! Although, I did not order any pizza this time around, their pizza is also 5 stars! Do yourself a favor and give them a try!
My husband and I relocated to upstate NY a year ago and this restaurant is one of the things we miss the most about Brooklyn. We ate here all the time and one meal was better than the next in addition to a great atmosphere and wonderful staff. Happily we’re returning for a visit to Brooklyn shortly and I’ve already made our dinner reservation. Can’t wait.
Amazing homemade Italian dishes at reasonable prices. You won't be disappointed. We ate outdoors due to the virus and the customer service was very attentive and not once were we looking for our waiter. Owner is a very nice guy and even had a chance to have a great cigar with him.
Came here for Mother's day 5/8/22. We had a 6pm reservation and we were seated promptly got our drinks and bread and butter , 3 appetizers 6 main courses 5 cappuccinos and 4 desserts. It was a great night and the food was slammin. Also shout out to Miriam the Hostess/bar girl 😎
The food was great and the service was even better. Highly recommend getting a reservation. This place gets crowded.
such a great Italian restaurant! Glad we found them.
I took my friend to Il Colosseo. It was my second time dining here. The food, service, and ambience was awesome. The owner (Gulio) was over the top with his hospitality. Good conversation and he treated us to a sample of an authentic amaro drink from Italy. Who could ask for a better simple evening out. Oh, my friend plans to take her husband there very soon! And of course I will also.
My parents have been coming here since the day they opened. Excellent food and service. Recently there has been a dj/singer on the weekends and a lot of renovation I’ve noticed. Tonight I got ravioli 🦞 from their special menu and it is delicious!!!!
Food was great service was great can't say enough good things about this place will be my new favorite restaurant 😋
I been coming to this restaurant since 2014. They treat us like family they remember our name. Another update there's in door dining all the time. Today I went to IIColosseo for an early Mother's Day dinner everything was delicious. An the Italian Donut was so good. It's a dessert with two more dessert inside the donut stuff with ice cream an a drizzle of Syrup an two rainbow cookies. Sorry ate the cookies before I took the. Picture
Happy Mother's Day everyone.
We have not been to this restaurant for a while so decided to go there for a Sunday lunch and realized that the business has been changed hands. Well, food is still good except the pizza. Ahhh...we so missed their old delicious pizza with crispy crust
One of the last great Italian restaurants and they even speak Italian.
Greet food
Ambiance
And reasonable price
Food is delicious and service is terrific. HOWEVER - buyer beware - the price on the menu does not include a 4% charge for using a credit card. Your receipt will add that 4% to each menu item on a line by line basis and show you a cash discount. As such, the TIP GUIDE on the receipt then includes tipping on the credit card charge as well. Shame on me for not reading my receipt in more detail while at the restaurant.
After calling the restaurant, I was informed that the 4% charge is detailed on the "back of the menu".
Excellent food and service! Our group really enjoyed everything, portions are so plentiful and the owner Julio was so gracious. Ambiance was so nice too. Even though it was a busy night there because of the Feast of Santa Rosalia the food came out quickly and we never had to wait for our Server's attention. Made a very nice experience to enjoy with our friends.
