Phenomenal

The food and service was amazing. However, I thought I had gone to the wrong restaurant/location when I looked at the menu because not every term is “Veganized” (example the words cheese and steak are used). But it is a full vegan restaurant and I was not disappointed. The “. “cheese”board, faux sausage ravioli, and the garlic knots were amazing. I wish I lived close to this place. I would be back often.

The best!

This is one of the best meals I’ve ever had! Every single thing we ate was incredible. Chef Vaknin is an absolute genius. I can’t say enough good things about this, or and of his restaurants!! The salmon Benedict was mind blowing as was the cheese plate.

Pros: Incredible food, Great service , Beautiful space

Cons: Absolutely no cons.

Best pizza I’ve had

This place is expensive but it doesn’t disappoint.
We both had pizza and they were amazing. The bases were so good and the range of vegan cheeses were like nothing I’ve had before on pizza.
Well presented and friendly staff. We didn’t book but got in fine.

Pros: Vegan cheese on the pizza, Pizza bases, Friendly staff

Cons: None

Amazing Italian food!

The food was delicious, and the staff was marvelous. Definitely pricey, but I think it was worth it. We got the meatballs with garlic knots, spaghetti carbonara, kale gratin, and dark chocolate lava cake. The spaghetti was good but kinda thick which threw me off a bit. Definitely coming back!

worth it! amazing, hearty dishes

everything was amazing. even as takeout, it felt fancy, the food portions were great, and they were arranged nicely. the chickn parm was my favorite bc the chickn texture and breading was expertly done, the cheese was actually melted on top, the sauce was delicious, pasta was perfect-chef's kiss. the chocolate lavender cake was so decadent and flavorful, with just the right amount of lave:cake ratio. literally zero complaints or recommendations.

Pros: decadent, amazing taste, portion size

Fully vegan, food is ok.

Wanted to try this restaurant for so long, and probably had very high expectations.

Starters:
My partner (non-veg) loved the arancini.
I had the puttanesca meatballs which were good, the sauce and the garlic knots though were awesome.

Main:
Pasta ragu didn’t quite hit the spot.
Chicken parm was ok, the spaghetti and sauce were good.

Some hit or miss

I wanted to like the food, I ordered a big selection, but I can't say it was anything more than mediocre. Perhaps I'm spoiled by much better vegan restaurants I've visited in the past.

The pizza was just okay—probably great if you haven't had a pepperoni slice in a long time. For me, the dough was lacking, and the cheese and red sauce didn't enhance it either.

The pasta was overcooked, the chicken parmesan tasted like cardboard, and the mashed potatoes seemed like they came out of a box. The only thing I really liked was the broccolini.

Stars are for a great range of selection and for the fact that the whole restaurant is vegan.
It’s not that bad that I would never go there again it’s just not that great either.


UPDATE
I changed my rating from 3 to 4 stars.
I was craving pasta and decided to give Coletta another chance.
Glad I did as the sausage ravioli is delicious and cooked perfectly!!!
Super yummy!

Fully Vegan, Great Service!

We’ve been wanting to try this sister establishment to Willow for a while, and glad we did.

We didn’t make reservations, so they put us at the bar, but a table opened up before we decided what to eat.

There is a good variety of Italian-inspired menu items — we had a hard time choosing.

Started with the House Salad — arugula, onion, cherry tomatoes in a white vinaigrette dressing and Parmesan. A bit tart for my liking, but a good way to start out meal.

Second was the Puttanesca Meatballs — in a lemon brown butter sauce served with 4 garlic knots. For me, this was THE best dish of the evening. Six small, soft meatballs, bathing in a perfectly briny tomato sauce with capers & kalamata olives (puttanesca) — I could have had a bowl of this!

My gf got the Spaghetti Carbonara. She liked it, though would have liked more garlic. I did not care for the ‘pork’ bits — gross texture and taste, but she thought it was a good bite with the pasta.

I got the Chicken Parmigiana on spaghetti. I would have liked if the breading were crispy — this was not. The ‘mozzarella cheese’ was sticky and missed the elasticity dairy mozzarella usually has, and this was unappealing to me. However, in no-animal food world, it hit the spot I was looking to fill.
The sauce was too sweet for my liking, and I don’t actually care for spaghetti (much rather have capellini), and it was a bit soft. My gf thought the whole plate was good (and her name is on our doggie bag 😉).

We finished with the Strawberry Panna Cotta — oh my, this was exquisite! Smooth, fresh (with mint) and not very sweet. BRAVA! Such a simply beautiful dessert.
My gf enjoyed her rich, dark Decaf Latte. Kind of bitter with chocolate notes.

On our way out, we asked another dinner about her ‘steak’ — she said the flavor and texture was good, kind of like stew cubes (it’s served like a filet mignon).

Last bit — the staff was phenomenal — very attentive, made this a very nice dining experience.

Pros: The staff!, Interesting & varied menu, Reasonable prices for what we had

Cons: Bathroom is downstairs , All salads were arugula or kale, More vegetable choices on sides.

Great place for Pasta!

We visited here on a Friday night without a reservation, and they were really accommodating and able to seat us quickly.
We ordered within a few min’s of sitting down, and our server was lovely and polite, he offered to talk us through the menu too if needed.

I had the spaghetti carbonara and garlic knots, whilst my partner had pepperoni pizza.
The food came out quickly, and was piping hot and freshly cooked which was great.
I loved my spaghetti carbonara, but the portion size was small VS the price (but I guess that’s just fine dining). The garlic knots were great too, the perfect amount of garlic!
My partner enjoyed his pepperoni pizza, but didn’t love it. It was quite messy to eat as there was so much cheese and it was super melted. I did try some too, and it was delicious, but again quite messy, and a lot of cheese.

The tables in here are quite small and super compact, so once it got busier, it did feel slightly tight. As well as really loud with other peoples conversations, and the woman on the table next to us was loudly on her phone!

Overall, we did enjoy our experience here, and if we have chance to come back here again I definitely would. I just wish the portion sizes were slightly larger. With tip we paid just over $90, for 2 mains, 1 size and 2 glasses of sprite.

Pros: Great flavours , Lovely service , Food came quickly

Cons: Portion size , Price , Small tables

Excellent food, friendly service

This is my new favorite vegan restaurant in NYC. My friend and I ordered the cheese board, the fried artichokes, the steak, and ravioli. Everything was excellent. The cheese board was small but everything was delicious. The steak is unique, I don't believe I have ever seen "fake meat" like that ever. The texture wasn't really like steak, it was more like a well cooked roast beef, but it was very tasty and convincing.

Pros: big menu, lots of variety, great food, friendly servers

Cons: seating is a bit tight

Amazing italian vegan food

Very good italian vegan food. I had the crispy calamari, the mushroom pizza and the alfredo pasta which vere all delicious.
I went there again 2 years later and had the fig jam and prosciutto pizza, the campanelle al tartufo, the garlic knots and the lava cake. The pizza was AMAZING!! Definetly a must. The pasta were not as creamy as I thought they would be, but still very good. The dessert was good also, but I was hoping for better. Overall a great experience again, I would go back!

Best vegan Carbonara I‘ve ever had

OMG this Restaurant is just beyond everything you dream of as a vegan. Perfect Italian dishes with the little kick it needs to be remembered. I will definitely return.
I‘ve had the Spaghett Carbonara and the Sicilan Olive Oli Cake and both were simply perfect. Also the wine choice is amazing. Go there!

Pros: All Italian Menu, Very nice staff, Desserts ❤️

Excellent food and wine and cocktails. My son's gf wanted Italian; my partner and I are vegan. We decided to give this place a try. It is expensive but excellent! My son, who used to be so picky (no fruits or veggies), said it was the best food we had in NYC! I agree.

Best Vegan Italian in NYC??

Upon arriving for our second visit to Coletta, we ran into owner and renown vegan chef Guy Vaknin. It was a pleasure to meet the mind behind some of my favorite vegan food I’ve ever tasted. And I mean that. Coletta is just as good a second time, and I’m loving making my way through the menu.

The first time there, we enjoyed some sausage ravioli, garlic mashed potatoes and a mushroom pizza. All around it was fantastic, however we noticed the consistency of the pizza was very very gooey. It wasn’t entirely easy to consume. Our most recent trip I went with the classic pepperoni pizza. While I really enjoyed it, I noticed that same approach to the melted cheese. It’s closer to melted cheese in like… Mac and cheese rather than a thicker mozzarella melt. That’s not an issue for me but it may be for others. Additionally we loved the calamari appetizer. The texture and chewiness was nearly identical to the real thing. Very very yummy.

Pros: Great menu, Taste, Nice staff

Cons: It is quite loud inside

Upscale Vegan Italian 🤌

What didn’t I like about Coletta?! Bring someone who isn’t a vegan here and don’t tell them a word— they’d never know. It really is one of our favorite Guy restaurants in NYC. The Tagliatelle al Ragu is SERIOUSLY delicious. “Pepperoni” pizza is great! Even their simple Vodka pasta was fantastic. Their mushroom “calamari” was a HIT!! A and 5 stars!

Pros: Tagliatelle al Ragu & mushroom calamari dishes, Great interior, Kind and attentive service

Cons: Too loud — need more sound proofing, $$$

The food was absolutely delicious and authentic vegan Italian. I had a “cheese” charcuterie board, truffle and mushroom pizza and carbonara pasta. Also, I had a strawberry panna cotta and a chocolate lava cake. Half the menu was also gluten-free or could be made gluten-free and everything I ate was gluten free.

This food was exquisite! I recently travelled to NYC on vacation, and I haven’t stopped thinking about the Spaghetti Carbonara or the Ricotta toast since leaving.
