Everything at Colosseo is always incredible. From the food, to the drinks, to the service. You get that old school Bensonhurst feel, and feel like you’re transported to Italy, all in one spot. Special shout out to Alessia who makes some of the best drinks around! More

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. More

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 on a Tuesday evening and the restaurant was busy. The restaurant was beautifully decorated with Christmas decorations. There’s two dining areas. We were seated outside of the main dining area. We made a reservation. The table was ready for us but there was no staff/hostess and the bartender was on the phone. We saw three staffs and all greeted us but none of them asked if we needed help. We had a party of 7 and everybody was there standing by the door waiting. We ordered the appetizers first cause we were not ready for the entree. We were ready for the entree went the appetizers came but there were no staffs to take our orders. All the staffs were in the main dining room. We wanted swordfish, but no swordfish. We changed to branzino but the staff came back to tell us no branzino. The food was good. I understand it’s a busy night and it might take longer for food. Nobody came to check in on us as we dine. Food: 4 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 4

Very tasty spot! Their food is very good. We got a tre gusti pizza (delicious), veal picatta (a lil chewy), and chicken lemonata. They flavors were spot on.

Nothing is consistent. I ordered a veal to go. What is this. I’ve been coming to this restaurant for years. I’ve ordered this specific dish many times and this never how it’s presented weather it’s to stay or to go. Disappointment. Otherwise the service is fantastic and the dishes themselves are excellent. Hopefully this is a one off. I’m happy to update my review in the future if this doesn’t repeat. Food: 3 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

This past weekend was my first time dining at Il Colosseo, and it’s safe to say I will be traveling to Brooklyn to eat here many more times! The food was AMAZING. I was with a large party and their service was absolutely impeccable. They tended to everyone’s needs and brought out the most delicious appetizers, desserts, and drinks. The salmon was so delicious and buttery. All of the wait staff were kind and attentive. With a large party, it’s easy to forget drinks or coffee here and there, but they managed any issues with ease. I don’t live near Brooklyn, but I would be more than happy to make the drive and come here again! It was such a great eating experience.

Everything was exceptional. The food was freshly made and delicious (definitely worth the wait which wasn't long especially if you order some great appetizers), the portions are very good which makes the dishes satisfying and/or shareable, the servers were kind and attentive, and the atmosphere was wonderful, family-friendly with nice Italian music in the background. Pasquale was amazing and helped accommodate food intolerances. They can accommodate most dietary restrictions, including vegan! They have a small (but delicious) plant-based menu at their Brooklyn location. I really enjoyed it and I'm not vegan. If you're interested in plant-based options, I'd recommend asking about them in advance in case they run out of certain ingredients. We were all very happy with our dishes, including the meat and plant-based ones. I really appreciate all of their efforts and want to thank them for making our day so special. I would highly recommend this restaurant, especially for special occasions!

The restaurant is located in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn and was established in 1991. They prepare Italian cuisine. Tables are available for customers to dine in with servers. 🍲 Soup, salads 🥗, appetizers, pasta, sides, pizza, entrees, desserts and beverages are options. I ordered the pollo toscano which is grilled chicken breast with yellow and green grilled zucchini, asparagus and roasted peppers over spinach risotto with a balsamic glaze. The shrimp scampi is sautéed in garlic, white wine and lemon with risotto. The food was very good and well-prepared.
