Continues to be delicious - Edit
Coletta pizzas have the most delicious crust, I went with a nonvegan who said the calamari was even better than the real stuff, the cacio e pepe was so good I haven’t stopped thinking about it all day. Great service lovely ambiance. Perfect for a night with friends or an intimate date. Love Coletta

Great Vegan Italian - Edit
Loved the atmosphere and the great menu at Coletta. The tartar was a little too realistic for me but my wife loved it. Food was delicious. The pizza was good but the cheese was still slightly off. It is a great place to go and get that vegan Italian with a great vibe. We will be back next time we are in NYC.

Unreal - Edit
The best Italian food I’ve ever had. Omni family were also blown away. I had the artichoke and sausage pizza but got food envy and ended up eating a bite of everybody’s.

Delicious...but expensive! - Edit
A beautiful restaurant! There are so many options and delicious plates to choose from. We've had the Lumache alla Vodka, rosemary pizza, and Campanelle al Tartufo. The Lumache alla Vodka was the best I tried. A delicious but very pricey meal. The atmosphere is perfect for a date night.

Amazing Food - Edit
We had an amazing dinner at Coletta in Feb. My husband is a card carrying carnivore & said he would return. The cheese plate blew my mind. I wish we lived closer, or were staying longer to try Chef Vaknin’s other restaurants. The cocktails were also excellent!

Terrific Italian - Edit
Very cool vibe. Excellent service. Definitely the best vegan Italian food I’ve had since going vegan 3 years ago. Ricotta ravioli, eggplant lasagna and olive rosemary bread all delicious. Portion sizes were just right. Highly recommend! #Veganuary

High end Vegan Italian - Edit
I saw this place online a few weeks before our recent trip and decided to make a reservation, I’m so happy I did. INCREDIBLE food. We ordered some wine and the chicken Caesar as our starters. I have no idea how they make this Caesar salad but it is easily the best I’ve ever had in my life. We also got the chicken Parmesan and the carbonara per happy cow recommendation. If you can only get one thing get the carbonara, it was so damn good and I’m pretty sure it changed my wife’s life forever. The chicken parm was also very good, the sauce had the perfect hint of basil. Ended with tiramisu which is another non negotiable if you come here. Overall such an amazing “higher end” vegan dining experience. #Veganuary

Best vegan pasta…..
Read moreI don’t think I’ve ever tasted a good vegan Carborana until stepping foot in Coletta. I rarely go out for pasta because this is something I much prefer to make at home (I tend to be dissapointes easily). Nevertheless, Coletta is another experience.

A new favorite--the best vegan italian food - Edit
After visiting Coletta NYC last week, it has rocketed to near the top of my list for favorite restaurants. It's expensive, so it won't become a regular go-to. But for special occassions I can think of nowhere better. The food is to die for. Easily the best spaghetti carbonara I've had in many years, and the sausage ravioli was excellent. The cheese platter blew my mind, and the tiramisu was a great choice for dessert.
Read morePros: All of the pasta dishes were divine, Great cocktail list, The tiramisu!
Cons: Pricey

You will over order! - Edit
Everything here is so good. We came for the cheese plate because we had heard incredible things about the brand of blue cheese they’re carrying here (from Climax Foods) but the cheese was only the beginning of an incredible meal. All the cheeses on the plate were amazing and the spicy pepperoni was also fun. We tried the steak tartare for a starter and it was bonkers. I don’t know how they did it but it was so spot on (we had an omnivore at the table who agreed). My friend started with the meatballs and the portion was enormous and came with four huge garlic knots.
Read moreFor mains our group chose three types of pasta and one pizza and everything was outrageously good, but I admit my carbonara defeated me and I had to bring most of it home. I was sad we overordered because I was looking forward to a tiramisu. I just couldn’t do it though.
The only weak link was my cocktail. My friends’ drinks were all good or great but I chose wrong with the Nuts and Berries. It was too sweet and the heavy cream on top was too thick and flavorless. Next time I would order something different.
The staff was so kind. One member of our party had an emergency and ran very late but they were nice about it and accommodated us even though we lingered a long time over drinks waiting for her. From such a busy place I kind of didn’t expect that kindness but the staff was wonderful.
Absolutely blows other vegan Italian options I’ve been to out of the water. I will definitely be back!

Outstanding vegan Italian! - Edit
My wife and I recently visited NYC and ended up having dinner at Coletta three times within a week because we just couldn't get enough.
Read moreAcross the three nights we sampled the lemon ricotta toast, crispy calamari, garlic knots, fig jam and prosciutto pizza, chickn spiedini, salmon and polenta special, squid ink ravioli, campanelle al tartuffo, carbonara, tiramisu and the dark chocolate and lavender lava cake.
Every single dish was delicious and I would eat again in a heart beat, but our stand outs were definitely the squid ink ravioli and the campanelle al tartufo, which were just outstanding. I would give a special mention to the carbonara which I think any meat eater would enjoy - I still can't quite fathom how they made it like that while still being vegan, my mind was blown, and the lemon ricotta toast which I wasn't sure about on first bite but the more you eat , the more you begin to understand the complexities of the flavours and wonderful balance of sweet, salty and citrus.
I would rank Coletta as my favourite restaurant worldwide so far and will be back in a heartbeat should I have the opportunity!
Pros: Food is amazing , Great atmosphere , Staff are lovely

Creative and delicious pizzas - Edit
Coletta is such a beautiful restaurant. The menu is quite extensive so it was very difficult to choose what to eat. We ordered two pizzas to share: the potato and rosemary and the fig jam and "prosciutto". I've never tasted pizzas like these ones before. Both of them had a perfect mix of sweet and savory elements that I never thought would go well together. They were really tasty, every bite was an explosion of interesting flavors. The quality of the ingredients was noticeable. Even though the pizzas are expensive, they are quite big and fulfilling. I think that one pizza is not enough for two people, but it is definitely way more than enough for one person. I was so full afterward that I didn't have room for dessert, which I was really looking forward to. Well, next time!

Coletta was met with an absolute delight! - Edit
As an Italian vegan, my anticipation for dining at Coletta was high. Accompanied by my sister, the experience turned out to be an absolute delight.
Read moreMy inclination for housemade sodas led me to savor the Strawberry Lemon Mint Housemade Soda ($6). Its harmonious blend of sweet and tangy notes was thoroughly enjoyable.
The Puttanesca “Meatballs” ($18) set a flawless tone for our meal. These meatballs remarkably mirrored the flavors of our childhood favorites. The capers and olives elevated the dish, while the garlic knots were impeccable.
Opting to share, we ordered the House Salad on the side. Its portion exceeded expectations, offering fresh greens laced with a bold white balsamic vinaigrette. The sprinkle of parmesan on top was a tasteful touch.
For the main course, my sister selected the Rigatoni alla Norma ($26). She enjoyed the freshness of the pasta and appreciated the well-balanced sauce that avoided excessive acidity. A slightly milder level of saltiness and larger eggplant pieces would have made it even more ideal.
I savored the Wild Mushroom Truffle Pizza ($25). Having craved this combination for a while, the pizza surpassed expectations. The dough was soft, while the crust was bubbly and crunchy. Each bite unfolded a harmonious medley of sweet and savory flavors, accompanied by creamy and crunchy textures. The abundant mushroom topping and the kick of red pepper flakes elevated the experience. Although a subtle saltiness was present, it remained irresistible. Pairing it with a hint of the salad added a complementary touch.
OVERALL THOUGHTS:
The hostess, bartender, and servers demonstrated genuine kindness and attentiveness. The ambiance was a seamless blend of cleanliness and modernity, with a touch of comfort. The highlight for me was the enchanting music that transported me momentarily to Italy. Our dishes were served promptly and maintained an impressive level of freshness. A return visit is unquestionable.
Coletta proved to be a haven for Italian vegan cuisine, with standout dishes that, while occasionally slightly salty, tantalized the taste buds with their authentic flavors and thoughtful pairings.
My true rating is 4.5
EXTRA:
The tables were extremely close together
Very dim lighting
GF options
Kosher
We made a reservation
Pros: Fresh food, So many good options / thoughtful pairings, Friendly and Fast Service
Cons: On the pricey side, Some dishes ate on the salty side

Wow this was so cool to see, thanks! I grew up here in NY & since becoming vegan I find it hard to get proper Italian food made plant-based. John’s on 12 St is a classic NY eatery but have to say I’m not crazy about it. Will definitely check this place out. 😋
