Best Vegan Meal - Edit
I think hands down this is the best vegan meal I've had of my life! Wow oh wow! We started off with the special which was a lemon ricotta ravioli, then had the bread with oil & vinegar, eggplant lasagna, carbonara, and olive oil can for dessert. The stand outs were definitely the bread, ravioli, & cake. We weren't as impressed/wowed with our entrees but still amazing. Drinks were also out of this world, probably the best sangria I've ever had!! The waitstaff was also fantastic and very caring. 10/10 would recommend and will probably be back!

Very happy! - Edit
The dishes I had were very full of flavor! I first ordered the puttanesca meatballs. These were super seasoned and delicious and they came with garlic knots! I then ordered the Campanelle Al Tartufo. A very tasty pasta dish, which the waiter had recommended me. It says on the menu it is in a “light cream sauce” but I would say it’s more of an oil, very good though because the flavors work wonderfully together. I ordered the tiramisu for dessert and it was absolute perfection, the sweetness level was tasteful.
Read more*The food came out extremely fast. If you come in on a slow night. I recommend ordering your appetizer first and then your entree after you finish your appetizer. The table next to me had their entrees come out to the table and sent them back because they hadn’t received their appetizer yet! Such a waste!

Great pizza - Edit
Came in for brunch and ordered the egg yolk arancini, fig and feta salad, parsley garlic knots, and the amazing wild mushroom truffle pizza.
Read moreThe arancini was great and when you open it up, the egg yolk oozes out (I wonder what they use for the egg yolk?). Next I really enjoyed the pizza. In my experience, whenever something has truffle, it completely overpowers the other flavors. This is not the case here. All ingredients synced together harmoniously.

Excellent vegan food! - Edit

Upscale Italian Vegan - Edit
I really enjoyed my 2 visits there, the pizzas are really good and they even convinced my non-vegan friends. The service is also really great and accommodating. Another for their deserts. #Veganuary

Great dinner - Edit
Loved this place. There used to be a place by the name Sestina (not as good as Sestina) but this place is great. My live knew the garlic rolls were a fine choice so we had that side as an appetizer. For our main courses we had the carbonara and the sausage ravioli. We were too full for dessert but I would’ve had the tiramisu.
Read morePros: Garlic knots, Sausage ravioli
Cons: Empty but asked 3x if we had a reservation.

Coletta Vegan: Creative, Flavorful Plant-Based Dishes in a Cozy Setting - Edit
Coletta Vegan offers bold, flavorful plant-based dishes in a cozy setting. The mushroom and walnut bolognese is a standout, rich and savory, while the crispy cauliflower bites are the perfect appetizer. The chocolate cake is indulgent yet balanced. With excellent service and a relaxed atmosphere, Coletta Vegan is a must-visit for anyone craving creative, delicious vegan cuisine. #Veganuary

Great Desserts - Edit
Went for dinner just before Christmas. Narrowed it down to a few things to share: Ricotta Ravioli, Spaghetti Carbonara, and Chicken Parmigiana. Ravioli were great - delicious sauce with a hint of lemon. Only critique is that they could have had some more filling but flavor was great. Spaghetti carbonara was fine - pancetta was great. Chicken parm was good. The chicken itself was a bit thick and mushy, but the sauce and spaghetti were good. They came around with grated cheese which was a nice touch. Food was good, but dessert was really great. We had the olive oil cake as well as the lava cake. Both were outstanding! Staff was kind and attentive. #Veganuary

Great spot for vegan Italian - Edit
We were looking for an Italian restaurant with vegetarian options and stumbled upon this restaurant. We were able to secure a reservation for the same evening, which was a plus. The food was delicious. We had the kale caeser salad, the rosemary and olive bread with spreads, the tagliatelle with ragu, the pasta with vodka sauce, and the chicken parmasean and all were very good. Nice atmosphere. The only negative was that the service seemed hurried. Dishes came out with little pause in between courses, and plates were removed before everyone at the table had finished. The dessert menu was brought before my daughter had finished her meal. That said, the waitstaff were all lovely, and it was still a great dining experience.
Read morePros: Delicious food with reasonable portions, Expansive menu, Nice atmosphere
Cons: Service needs refining

Phenomenal - Edit
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.

Amazing Italian food! - Edit
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 - Edit
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.

Fully vegan, food is ok. - Edit
Wanted to try this restaurant for so long, and probably had very high expectations.
Read moreStarters:
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 - Edit
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.
Read moreThe 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!
