Reservation for four, with only one vegan - 5/5 from everyone. Wowwww, this was delicious! Hard to fathom it was vegan - the best pizza I ever had and everything was to die for! We had the calamari appetizer, truffle mushroom pizza, hot honey pizza, fig salad, tiramisu and hazelnut covered dessert. Everything was sooooo freaking delicious the calamari tastes like real calamari but just better. Same consistency and chewiness. Perfection. Divided crowd on whether the truffle pizza or hot honey pizza was better. Salad was great too. Hazelnut dessert was out of this world! I love tiramisu and it was good too. Did not disappoint! read more

I'm not vegan, but the whipped ricotta toast is one of the best I've EVER had! The hot honey pizza was also a 10/10. Super impressed!! I didn't enjoy my sausage ravioli as much as I would have expected, but a friend got the ricotta ravioli and it was good. Appetizers/Pizzas better than the Pastas, in my opinion. read more

It seems to be happening, so would probably do with a reservation, particularly on fridays or the weekend when I went. It was cool to have a full vegan Italian restaurant, but on the menu keep the names as the same dishes you would find otherwise. Like caviar, but it's not really caviar, get it. Overall, I wasn't that impressed with the food, as it tasted kind of bland, not much for portion size (which I get for this kind of restaurant), but then I would've wanted better flavors. I think each of the items fell short, even the ones others praised, like the Crispy Calamari and Wild Mushroom Truffle pizza. But it may be a one-off thing and other dishes might've been more to my liking instead. They have a pretty nice setting and atmosphere though, so perhaps a group reservation for the back may be worthwhile. read more

Excellent food, atmosphere, and service for a girls night out. We started with the Rosemary and Olive bread and the meatballs. We then ordered the spicy lasagna crisp, which was by far our favorite dish of the meal. We had two pastas, the ricotta ravioli and the short rib agnolotti. The ravioli was very good but we weren't a huge fan of the short rib. The dish was well done, we just didn't enjoy the flavor of it. We ended with the chocolate hazelnut dome, which was good for a small sweet bite to end the meal. read more

Woah! Add this to the rotation list. Our vegan friend has been wanting us to try this for quite some time. Thank goodness we finally did. It is sublime! Between the three of us, we had beef, chicken and fish for our mains. Bread, Steak Tartare and Fried Mushrooms to start. Espresso martinis and a minty version for drinks. Great service and atmosphere. Sofa king yummy!!! LOVED IT! read more

Shocked by these 5 star reviews (maybe we caught them on an off night?). Totally flavorless pastas (vodka pasta + cacio e pepe), the mushroom calamari was fried way too hard, and the bottom of the pizza crust was bordering on undercooked but the toppings were so good. The saving grace was the absolutely heavenly cheeseboard: blue cheese, cashew camembert, dill-crusted goat cheese, brie, caper berries, figs and fig jam, candied pecans, and these incredible balsamic-laced crostini. Every flavor combination made for the perfect bite. read more

I really enjoyed my dinner experience at Coletta Food: we got a few different things to try. My favorite was their version of calamari and risotto. The calamari was crispy and the texture of the mushrooms inside was cooked perfectly. The outside of the calamari was perfectly crispy and not oily. The risotto was creamy and flavorful. Service: Everyone was very friendly and helped by answering all our questions. They also checked in on us often to ensure we had everything we needed. Ambiance: I really enjoyed the atmosphere here. It's cozy and intimate. The seats are comfortable and I really like the theme of modern elegance. The food came out in dishes to enhance the look. read more

As a small town girlie, NYC vegan scene is incredible! The food & vibe here were lovely, both folks I went with weren't vegan and also loved. Would've been 5 stars but our server was not very attentive. Oh also the tiramisu??? TO DIE 4!!!!! read more

Overall the food was not too bad for a vegan place. The crispy citsmari was pretty good. Would highly recommend the Wild Mushroom Truffle pizza, that dish stole the show. The pasta dishes themselves were alright. Service was sub-par. Felt like our waiter was really trying to rush us out on a Friday evening. Inside, its pretty dim lit, but had a nice layout overall. read more

If I lived in NYC I would be here all the time! This is some of the finest Italian food I've had. We've traveled from Philly to go to NYC several times and had the chance to eat here for dinner twice. No matter what you order, it will be packed with some serious flavor! Chef Guy Vaknin has help to create several styles of vegan cuisine in several NYC restaurants, this particular location is the Italian restaurant. The restaurant is very cozy with low lit lighting and wine bottle shelving for the Italian style aesthetic. The tiramisu here, nothing can compete with, it's the BEST dessert! I honestly just think of it from time to time LOL. read more

Amazing dining experience! Our waitress was very attentive and the food was delicious. My mom and I ordered the chicken caesar salad, crispy calamari, fig jam and prosciutto pizza, and the tiramusu to end the night. My mom is not vegan so she was particularly impressed with the calamari and how spot on the flavor and textures were. I wasn't a fan of the prosciutto but the pizza overall was really good. It's not often that I'm able to indulge in vegan tiramisu so that was such a treat. read more

An ALL-VEGAN ITALIAN RESTAURANT?! Yes, please! And of course it has to be in NYC, where anything you can imagine when it comes to food is available at your fingertips! I came here on the recommendation of a friend and decided to come by on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. The entrance could have been easily missed if I had not been paying attention. Once I got seated, I was able to look through a menu with a beautiful lavender color. I knew right away I would get items that would be hard to find elsewhere as a vegan option. I ended up ordering fried "calamari", "squid" ink ravioli, and vanilla ice cream to finish. The fried calamari was absolutely delicious! It was meant to be an appetizer but I gobbled it all up like it was a whole meal! The calamari was actually mushroom, and so it had a chewy texture on the inside. The sauces it came with were tomato and oil-based. Next up was the ravioli. It didn't taste unique in any particular way, but I appreciated the dark color. It had a little bit of an umami kick to it, but again nothing to memorable except for how it looked. I was surprisingly still hungry enough for dessert! So ice cream it was. It was made with coconut milk, so the texture was super stretchy and creamy! It was topped with a cookie crumble and sauce, so all-in-all it was a lovely treat. I then learned that they have several sister restaurants---including all vegan Mediterranean, Mexican, and sushi restaurants! They are definitely on my list for the next time I am in NYC!! read more

Loved the experience at Coletta! It was amazing to try so many vegan dishes that tasted so good and as a vegetarian, experience some of the meat based dishes that I could never try otherwise. The calamari was soo good and crispy and tasted great with the sauces. Loved the hot honey pizza as well! And the risotto was also a good addition to our meal! Definitely would come back! read more

A fully vegan Italian restaurant- hell yes! I miss eating Italian food so much when I found this vegan restaurant I was so excited. The waitress Maria was very knowledgeable about the menu and provided great recommendations to try. I tried everything I posted and it was all a 10's across the board. Absolutely delicious, I will be dreaming about this restaurant. I was so amazed at how the Salmon tasted like the real thing but it was vegan, mind blown. It was very intimate but a great experience with my family. I honestly can't pick a favorite dish because it was all just so delicious. This was also my first time trying Panna Cotta and it was so refreshing. I honestly cannot wait to go back and try more dishes. I wish this restaurant was in Houston!! read more

I brought a group of friends who are decidedly not vegan and the reviews were excellent! We started with cheese board, which is to die for. Garlic knots and Crispy calamari were crowd pleasers and gone quickly. One of our group had some food restrictions and the serve went above and beyond to help him order. He loved the mushroom croquettes so much I put in an order to go to bring home to my fiancée. Wild mushroom pizza was exceptional, although next time I'll ask for extra truffle flavor. Desserts were out of this world, especially the chocolate hazelnut dome! Excellent food, excellent service! Highly recommend read more

1. Fully vegan and kosher menu. We got the ricotta ravioli and the brunch carbonara pizza. Flavors, textures and artisan chef touch were all 5/5. Dessert was the hazelnut chocolate dome was also excellent. Flavorful without being too rich for my taste. 2. 3pm on a Saturday ambiance was nice, the restaurant wasn't crowded at all and they could take us earlier than our reservation. Staff was hospitable, knowledgeable, and kind. 3. Drinks were tasty. Cant remember the names exactly but one was essentially an espresso tini for my girl and it was an excellent balance. 4. Portions sizing. For 2 meals, 2 drinks, 1 dessert, and a suggested tip, cost was about $150. For this cost, the portions were notably small. The ravioli had about 8 pieces. Total. More of a side size than a meal. Only reason this is 4 stars and not 5. read more

Amazing is too soft a word to describe Coletta!! Vegan or not, Coletta is a MUST VISIT restaurant. The ambiance is casual and quaint. We were seated in the back as we asked for a quiet spot. However a party of 15 sat right behind us which squashed our wish for less noise! Despite this, we truly enjoyed our experience and dinner here. The entire menu is vegan which is so refreshing so there is ZERO need to modify any dishes. We started with the calamari that came with two dipping sauces. The taste and texture was perfectly satisfying. For mains I had the steak which came perfectly proportioned with mashed potatoes and 3 branches of grilled broccolini. The steak had a nice char and was easy to slice. Sort of resembles more of a pot roast than a steak in texture. This is definitely something I would order again. My husband had the hot honey pizza which I sampled. He was raving about the crust which was light and crispy. There was a nice sweetness to the pizza from the honey that balanced the spice well. Dessert was killer - the tiramasu and the limoncello olive oil cake. We had a hard time picking which one was better! I loved the refreshing taste of the lemon and my husband voted for the creaminess of the tiramisu. You cannot go wrong with either. Overall the service, atmosphere, food selection, and taste of the food did not disappoint and made our short stay in NYC that mush more memorable! Highly recommend for vegans and omnivores! Hope you enjoy as much as we did! read more

We went with family to celebrate an anniversary -- so we reserved in advance. As we had enjoyed sister restaurants (Anixi and Sentir), we wanted to try this one. Similar to those, we ordered several dishes to share -- though we had to ask which were gluten-free. It would have been easier if the menu were labeled. We had the chicken Caesar salad and two pizzas (mushroom and margarita) to start. All were okay -- not fabulous but good enough. I had the fig salad which was great, one person had ravioli, and two people had the Cacio e Pepe -- I think they were enjoyed but not blown away. The broccolini was very good and the pistachio ice cream we shared was good. The service was good and the restaurant was sufficiently comfortable. It didn't rank as well in my book as Sentir or Anixi, but it was still good. read more

SERVICE - located off of 3rd ave and 26th street - good amount of seating so you are likely to get a table even if you do not have a reservation - ambiance suitable for a semi casual/nicer occasion - servers were very friendly and warming and provided thorough recommendations on what to order - food served quickly MENU - Italian inspired appetizers, pizza, pasta, and entrees - all vegan/vegetarian with gluten free options available - slightly pricier ($27 per pizza) FOOD - cultured cheese board (10/10): one piece each of cashew camembert, smoked chili goat cheese, garlic and dill chevre, and blue cheese accompanied by fresh figs, candied pecans, capers, pepperoni, fig jam, and sourdough crostini. This is probably the best vegan cheese board i have ever tried. Each cheese was unique in both flavor and texture. Choosing a favorite among the four options was so challenging because of how nuanced they were. The paired items enhanced the cheeses, especially the sweetness from the figs and the smokiness of the pepperoni. I thought the green balls were olives initially but upon clarifying with the waiter, he told us they were a special variety of capers. I would highly recommend ordering this as an enticing start to your meal. - hot honey pizza (9/10): mozzarella and lemon ricotta topped with hot cherry peppers, truffle honey, crema, red onion, and chives. This was recommended to us by our waiter and it was a solid choice. As someone who usually puts extra chili flakes on pizza, I did not even think to reach for the bottle as the hot cherry peppers packed a fiery punch. The lemon ricotta was a nice brightness that cut through the creamy cheese and added a relief from the heat. My only critique is that i did not taste the truffle in the honey which could be due to the variety of other flavors in the dish. - fig jam and prosciutto pizza (7/10): house made fig jam, fresh figs, prosciutto, and arugula on a crema base drizzled with balsamic glaze. The only reason I did not like this pizza as much as the other one is because I am not used to the meaty taste and texture of prosciutto. That aside, the balance of flavors was spot on. I really liked the combination of the sweet fig with the bitter arugula. I also enjoyed how this pizza was not drowned in sauce and let both the crust and the toppings shine in balance. WOULD I GO BACK? Absolutely! This has become one of the best vegan Italian places I have been to. read more

The vibe inside here is nice, it's intimate without feeling too tight. On a Friday night around 9p it was maybe 75% full, you could probably make it without a reservation. To start, I tried the Kiss & Tell mocktail and it was sweet & refreshing! I don't think a mocktail should be that similar in price to an actual cocktail but it sneakingly was. For appetizers, we had the steak tartare and the cheese board. I haven't actually had steak tartare before but this tastes close to how I imagine the real thing to be with the briny "caviar" on top. I really enjoyed the cheese board but my friend wasn't as much of a fan; pointing out that the cheddar wedge tasted too strongly of liquid smoke. I thought that some of the wedges were better than others with my favorite being the blue cheese. The fig jam was excellent and complimented the different cheeses well. For entrees, we had the fig & prosciutto pizza as well as the tagliatelle ragú. The pizza was a nice combination of sweet & savory with the balsamic glaze. The pizza itself could have been charred a bit more but I overall enjoyed it! The ragú was really nice, I believe they make the pasta itself fresh here. We also tried the side of the kale gratin and this was the only dish that wasn't good. It wasn't creamy at all and was oddly watery on the bottom. The kale was also too salty and it overall was hard to want to eat. We ended on dessert and the lavender dark chocolate lava cake sounded exciting but ultimately fell short as there was no discernible lavender flavor. This also wasn't really a lava cake as there was no melted chocolate in the center. There was a small scoop of some sort of chocolate cream on top and chocolate poured on the plate; but again, not actually a lava cake. I don't know if dessert is their strong suit, but the creativity in the main dishes definitely makes up for it. read more

Been there twice before, great food and service. Last night, however, I was not impressed. The hostess led us to a table positioned in the middle of a busy walkway. We've dined there before and know that staff frequently pass through that area. My husband didn't even have room to place his scarf and gloves. I politely asked if we could be seated at one of two open tables by the wall (let's call them Table A and Table B). The hostess declined, saying, "Those tables are reserved. When you book, you can choose your preferred table." I explained that I had booked online twice before, and even on this occasion, there was no option to select a specific table, but she insisted it was possible. Less than a minute later, two women arrived and were seated at one of the tables I had just requested (Table A). They immediately asked if they could sit elsewhere and were told no, as those other tables were also "reserved." I approached them and asked whether they had chosen Table A when booking. They said they had not. At that point, I felt misled. I do not appreciate being lied to, especially when I've been a returning customer -- and it happened on my birthday. On the way out, I informed the hostess of what we'd learned and left. Honesty and hospitality matter just as much as good food. read more

Words cannot express how amazing this place is. My husband and I just eloped in NYC with close family and this was our pick for dinner after the ceremony. We ate here back in June and were completely obsessed. Going in a bigger group further confirmed the quality for me as I got to try a bunch of additional dishes. There wasn't a single thing I tried that I can't see myself ordering. The number one must-get in my opinion is the tiramisu. I don't even love tiramisu that much usually but this one may just be my favorite dessert of all time. The service was also spot on. I would definitely go here all the time if I geographically could! read more

This was my sister and my first visit to Coletta, and it was wonderful! Beautiful space! Very friendly, welcoming and professional service and hospitality! The food was terrific!

After two plus decades vegetarian, this was the type of NYC restaurant I would dream of as a kid. The menu is full of classics that I never would have the opportunity to try other wise. The Coletta Chicken Caesar was crunchy, creamy, and hit the spot. The chicken was tasty and textured, and my carnivorous partner loved every bite too. The hot honey pizza was delicious. A delightful build of heat with crema and great crust. Cocktails were great as well, my Fumo Di Mare was amazing. We sat at the bar, and the bartenders were super lovely and attentive. The restaurant is cozy and well lit. We had a memorable Valentine's Day and left with a list of dishes I can't wait to go back to try. read more

I really enjoyed the lasagna. The tomato sauce was bright and savory with some herb flavor, the pasta had a nice texture with just a little bit of a bite, and the filling inside was hearty. The rolls make for an attractive presentation compared to the standard rectangular layered format. It's pretty easy to forget that the dish is vegan. The meal was a bit pricey at $34 after tax and tip, but worth it. read more

A friend of mine recommended me to try Coletta and we decided to come here to treat ourselves after nursing school exams. I'm so happy this vegan restaurant is so close to my school! Honestly, I wouldn't even think it was vegan food if I hadn't known it was vegan. I'm not vegan myself, but the food tastes so much like the non-vegan counterpart! The ambiance is perfect for a date night or if you want to catch up with friends :) We came here on a Thursday evening for dinner. It gets busy in the evening, so I suggest making a reservation. Our waitress was friendly. She brought all of our food out at once, which was much appreciated! Everything on the menu sounds so intriguing, you will most likely end up ordering more than one dish! Ultimately, my friend and I decided on the Spaghetti Carbonara, Hot Honey Pizza, and the Wild Mushroom Truffle Pizza. Here is my take on these: Spaghetti Carbonara - this had such a nice aromatic flavor! Very good with the seasoning. The pasta was cooked perfectly. And I loved the bits of "pancetta" inside. Hot Honey Pizza - the first pie we tried. Surprisingly really spicy! If you're a spicy food fan, then this should be your choice. The pizza dough was great quality - thick and soft with a nice crisp. Nice drizzle of honey on top. Wild Mushroom Truffle Pizza - very generous with the mushrooms and super truffle flavor. The caramelized onions complemented it well. Like the Hot Honey Pizza, they gave a generous portion. Can easily be shared with a few people. I can't decide if I liked this or the Hot Honey Pizza more. I really liked both! Last but not least, we ordered the pistachio ice cream. Also a generous portion! But it was okay. I would have liked to taste some more pistachio flavor. The fig inside was good! But next time, I would probably order a different dessert. Although prices are a little high, I really think it's worth it for the food. Highly recommend and I will definitely explore more of the menu soon! read more

Coletta has a stunning ambiance, making it an excellent spot for a date or a special night out. The atmosphere is elegant and inviting, setting high expectations for the dining experience. Unfortunately, the food doesn't quite match up. It's overpriced for what you get--our steak dish came was interesting but I wouldnt say tasty, and while the chicken parmesan was decent, overall, the flavors were just okay. Worth trying once, but not a place I'd revisit. The real deal-breaker, though, was the service. Our waiter got oddly pushy when the check arrived, trying to collect it before we were even finished eating. When we went back in to request a receipt, they flat-out ignored us, despite us tipping 20% despite receiving minimal service. To be fair, other tables seemed to have a better experience with different servers, but our encounter was bad enough that I wouldn't go back or recommend it. read more

I have eaten at almost all of the sister restaurants (Willow, Beyond Sushi, and Anixi), and I can safely say that they don't miss. Coletta is the latest in the plant based restaurant series that I've tried, and everything was phenomenal. My friend who does eat meat even was amazed by how similar the crispy "calamari" was to actual calamari. The garlic knots are a must. And definitely don't leave without the lava cake. The only minor thing which didn't impact the experience too much was that it was hard to get a hold of our server so we were left waiting a little longer than we would've liked to order and to get the bill. The food came out on time though which mattered more. read more

Came here for dinner and had a pleasant time. I had a reservation for 6 but they sat us a bit earlier which was nice. There is a nice selection of options and all of the specials sounded delicious - especially the cacio e Pepe. Serving sizes were good and the food was tasty. I will say that it could use a dash of more salt. Food came out super quickly and was very fresh. Service was great and very attentive. The restaurant is quite nice and clean.

TLDR: Service was inattentive and insincere. Steak Tartare was good. Everything else not so much. Perhaps i chose the wrong menu items but doubtful. 3 stars- 2 obligatory stars because its a vegan restaurant and + 1 star because the tartare was good Went in for dinner after a long day. I was hungry and so excited to sit down to have a nice meal. The hostess must have been new or something because she seemed to be confused about why I was there. She eventually gestured to the bar where I sat and had a meal. I ordered the Steak Tartare, Sunchoke and Scallop Risotto and tiramisu. The dishes came out quickly and at the right times. Loved the tartare. Great flavor and texture. The risotto came out undercooked. The rice was chalky and hard. I tried to eat around it and ultimately sent it back because it was inedible. I should've cut my losses but instead i ordered the sausage ravioli. While waiting for the ravioli the manager(?) came over to "explain" that the texture of the risotto was because it was a "gluten free" rice and it expands. I was really confused because rice is always gluten free...I am not sure if it was a micro-aggression or she was trying to save face, but it was incredibly annoying because I love risotto and I have eaten enough rice in my life to know when it is fully cooked and when it is not. Some bites of the ravioli were good. The filling to pasta dough ratio seemed off. The filling was a dime sized ball of sausage and there was too much pasta. It was all very dense and heavy. The tiramisu was bland and has no espresso (or any other) flavor whatsoever The food was a disappointment but what made it worse was the service. It started with the hostess and continued up the chain. I was the only person sitting at the bar but had to flag the bartender down at every step of service. My glass of water was empty and never refilled. The manager "checked in" to see if everything was okay with the ravioli but didn't notice the empty glass. The food runners were great in the brief moments they stopped by. Maybe it was a bad day for the staff. It was definitely a bad dinner for me. i walked back to my hotel feeling full/heavy and unsatisfied. I should have stayed in and ordered food from somewhere else. read more
