I waited WAY too long to try this place! Absolutely impeccable service, the atmosphere is cozy and bustling without being overwhelming, and the food is incredible. I had the torched fig and feta salad, which is an unusual choice for me but it just looked so good! It lived up to the expectation -- a delicious, perfectly dressed salad and who doesn't love a fig? Avocado, vegan feta, pistachios....come on! The sausage ravioli with was similarly delicious -- and spicier than expected in the most perfect way. The sauce was flavorful and rich. The house-made raviolis were just great and perfectly filled with savory vegan sausage. (I know it's assumed that everything here is vegan but I can't help but clarify. ) For desert, I had the panna cotta and my bf had the chocolate hazelnut dome. Both were so great and the staff sang happy birthday to me *in harmony*. Overall, an exquisite experience at a place that is now my go to for special occasions. Damn. Don't sleep on this place! 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

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

Top vegan spot in NYC! Filling and seasoned food. Wow what a gem. Everything I ate tasted great. They cook the food fresh (no microwaves). The service was stellar - Lucy was my waiter and she was so kind. All the food came out hot and expertly plated. I really like this restaurant. I think it's suitable for omnivores too to be honest. The food isn't fad food it's good delicious food that's going to fill your stomach. The restaurant is very beautiful and clean. I want to try everything on the menu. I wish the appetizers had a small size option for solo diners - only minor thing. 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

We had our order delivered and honestly regret that decision. I would have enjoyed this dinner more if we ate it at the restaurant. It was delicious don't get me wrong, but everything was just cold when we got it. Totally our fault. Not the restaurant's! I hope next time we are here in NYC, we will be able to go sit down and eat! The limencello cake was absolutely divine! Ricotta ravioli had a decadent filling and rich sauce. read more

Oh my gosh. I've been vegan for six years and the wild truffle mushroom pizza on gluten-free crust was genuinely the best pizza I've ever had in my life. The gluten free crust is soooooo good it's so thick which differs from typical gluten-free crusts that are very thin, so I was really excited about that. I literally can't talk enough about this pizza. So good. Some of the best plant-based cheese I've ever had. I also got the vodka pasta with gluten free pasta and it was okay. I won't be getting it again. Was kind of boring. But the pizza made up for everything. 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

My best friend raved about this place so it was worth a try. The waitress came to ask how everything was and I didn't even get to chew my food yet lol. She kept asking every time she passed by which got a little annoying. Tables were way too low, my torso isn't long but I basically had to bend to eat my food. Good flavors but thought it was a little heavy for my taste. It's too expensive for what it was. The ambiance and music was nice too, celebrated my finacees birthday here. It was nice but honestly, we like my pasta at home better XD 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

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

I came here last night for my best friend's birthday. The start of the experience was great - the ambiance was lovely and service started off strong. On our second round of drinks, the runner carried over 5 very large glasses filled to the brim on a tray, and dropped all of them on me. It was clearly an accident, but I was left absolutely soaking wet, with ice and alcohol down my shirt and even dripping down into my shoes. It was a lot of liquid. I had come directly from a weekend trip so luckily had extra clothes I could change into. If I didn't, I would have had to go home, I was that wet. I even had to change my shoes - they were sloshing with every step. Despite changing, my whole body was sticky the rest of the night. I'm glad we didn't plan to go out after, because I would have had to go home to shower and missed the night. I was still of course kind to the staff and did not complain. This number of drinks, this full, shouldn't have been carried in one trip on a tray. Given the extent of this incident, we had expected a significant amount of our meal to be comped, or maybe all of the drinks. Instead, two desserts were taken off the bill (we had ordered ~half the menu, including every dessert). I used to work in food service as a host and as a server, and if I were waiting on our table, I would have done this - I would have been expected to by my manager. I don't blame the runner - he made a mistake. But I think it's management's job to make sure guests have a good experience and make up for mistakes. The food was really good and I wanted to want to come back, but don't feel great about it given this treatment. The staff was still nice, but comping only two desserts felt egregiously disproportionate to my experience. My clothes were machine-washable, but if they weren't, I would be footing a dry cleaning bill for this disaster. This was a birthday and we were trying to have everything go as smooth as possible, so we didn't complain, but were pretty shocked and disappointed. read more

The food is sooo flavorful and rich. Highly recommend the calamari, chicken, and tiramisu. Service was attentive overall. Place has a nice classy ambiance. Great for date night. However, it is a bit tight and chairs were okay and not the most comfortable. I will be going back! 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

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

I am not Vegan, but I can easily become one if I could eat like this all the time. My friend had the chicken Spiedini and I had the butternut squash ravioli. The vibe is lively, chic and even romantic. The wine menu is extensive and has really options. Looking forward to my next visit. read more

City Root Hospitality has some restaurants like Anixi and Le Basque that have very good food. Then they have others like Willow, Sentir, and Coletta that are OK. This was my first time at Coletta. The mushroom calamari was good. Honestly, you can probably give this to a non-vegan and they won't even know it's mushroom. My reason for the low rating is that the pizza was not great. Ordered a Margherita but it was loaded with an insane amount of vegan mozzarella. Very average dough. I think they don't know how to make pizza. Need to rethink the recipe. And $24 is way too much for this slop. Staff was nice and didn't make us feel rushed. I'd consider going back to try something else. No need to get the pizza here. Instead, just go to a good Neapolitan pizzeria and get a marinara. 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

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

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

First let me say that I have enjoyed many meals at this restaurant, and I have ordered a lot of take out for delivery as well. I have to say that it is hard for me to write this and only give them a very average 3 stars, because I love supporting good vegan restaurants. But I really would love to see them improve certain things that do not reflect the quality that I believe that they are reaching for. I have tried many items from their menu. PROS: They have a very good menu. There are high quality ingredients in most things and as an Italian American I do appreciate that my pasta has never been overcooked and the vegetables have been fresh when I have eaten there in person. The desserts are great and I often take them home. The hostesses who have greeted me at the door have been lovely. The manager has been wonderful. Some of the wait staff has been very very good. Just a few of the great foods to try on the menu that I liked: crispy lasagne mashed potatos Fresh olive bread fig and feta salad White hot honey pizza Olive oil lemon cake tiramisu Chocolate hazelnut bombe CONS: This restaurant can be quite expensive, which is not surprising for what can be labor intensive recipes. ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT: I was disappointed in the pepperoni pizza. I would love it if they brought up the game on their mozzerella, I do not think it does the crust, red sauce and pepperoni justice. REGARDING POOR SERVICE: I was very disappointed to have gone with a group of family a few months back, who were visiting from Italy, and we tried many things, and the server was a young woman who almost never checked on us. The restaurant was actually fairly empty. She spent most of her time talking to the bartender while we were sitting in the back and she never bothered to see how we were when our food was delivered. She forgot many items and she seemed in general like she could care less. She did not have an attitude, she was just a really bad server. We still left a customary 20% because long ago I did work in the restaurant industry and I know it is not easy, but she made almost zero effort and it was not a good experience at all for us. We had to go find her several times up front with the bartender to ask for things and she still forgot them anyway. THE WORST: The thing that finally prompted me to write this review was that I have also ordered delivery from them a number of times. They are not that far from me. Yesterday I had a problem that has happened to me a number of times with similar items. I ordered a smaller non-entree arugula salad as one of my items and, as has happened in the past, the onions tasted old and pre-cut (where they have that awful refrigerator smell) and the tomatoes were in large chunks and were of terrible quality. (This has never happened in person). I can't believe anyone bothered to put either of those things on top of perfectly good arugula. If you want to pre-cut onions, I suggest soaking them in a bit of lemon juice and a touch of salt and please take those awful rinds off. To order delivery from Colettas is not cheap, and when I go there in person, the salads are always nice, but I have had this experience before with ordering certain things, especially salads, in which the staff is extremely careless with the food. I do not need to have a salad at all, and I can certainly go a block away and get a poor salad on any street in New York. This seems as if the take out prep crew is perhaps not being managed by someone properly? I really do love this restaurant but I really do wish they would smooth out these issues. I will certainly be going back for in person dinner, but I will probably limit my delivery for now. Thank you for all you do well. 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

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

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

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.
