I literally can't wait to go back to New York just to come to this restaurant. I'm vegan, but my friends are, and they loved it so much. The vibe was really nice. I'm glad I didn't have to wait even though we did a walk in. We got seated right away but I would suggest making a reservation the vegan steak with chunk. It was amazing. The staff was so nice. read more

This place needs to be Mitchelin star rated. I've gotten takeout a few times but just dined in for the first time. 10/10 food and service. This place is a universally incredible for both vegans and non vegans alike. The food is really out of this world. Moreover, service is phenomenal and totally worth dining in. The manage, Sofia, is unbelievably kind, attentive and friendly. She told us all about their sister restaurants as well which I can't wait to try! Also, our waiter, Johnny, was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and really helpful with helping us choose our drinks, food and dessert. Do not skip Coletta! read more

Probably the best vegan Italian food I've ever had! We went in a group of 7 people (and I was the only began person in the group) and loved almost everything we ordered (so much so that we did seconds rounds of the same appetizers and desserts!) Highly recommend the fig ricotta bruschetta, calamari and gnocchi for appetizers and the wild mushroom truffle pizza and lasagna for mains. Also, while the tiramisu was amazing, the strawberry pana cotta was the table favorite! We will be back for more! read more

very good vegan food although I am not a vegan I really enjoyed my meal and the cocktails are top tier.

FANTASTIC! This is hands down some of the best vegan food I've ever had! The fig and feta salad was delicious with every single bite! And I'm not a big salad person so I was seriously pleased! And the vegan feta was giving!!!! Next I had the "Squid" ravioli and my goodness gracious that is literally the best dish I've ever had in my life! I would have licked the plate if I could have! Just WOW ! And for dessert the tiramisu! I couldn't believe that it was vegan! So incredibly decadent! And I washed it all down with the raspberry and grapefruit soda! I mean what an experience! What a treat! What a delight! And my server Anthony was so sweet! And I had a nice conversation with the GM Matthew about vegan food in general and it's accessibility and creativity! And I even got the chance to give compliments to the chef! Without a doubt you must go and enjoy! You won't be disappointed! read more

We went here not knowing it was all vegan. What a lovely surprise as I'm a vegan-leaning vegetarian. The food was phenomenal, the service was courteous and prompt, and the ambiance is cozy and welcoming. Worst part was with so many choices it was hard to decide. I wanted some of everything. Guess I'll have to keep going back. read more

As a vegan for 11+ years I always jump on any opportunity to show non-vegans how good vegan food can be. Not being from New York I was still determined to find the best vegan food! And I did! The food is amazing (I still daydream on a weekly bases about it) and the atmosphere and staff were incredible! Definitely recommend as a great dinner option for vegans/non-vegans alike to enjoy some delicious food! read more

Absolutely delicious vegan Italian food! Great date night or night out spot. Went for my husbands birthday and were not disappointed. We have a reservation at 9 pm and were not seated until 9:30...but it was worth the wait! Highly recommend the squid ink ravioli. So unique, delicious, and beautiful. Loved the gnocchi appetizer and Tiramisu as well. Cannot wait to come back and try more! read more

Ok so this place is not cheap but its WORTH IT. Vegan + Italian = I appreciate that the food is creative and not just a bunch of mock meats. Recommend: Crispy Calamari - get it. just do it. never had non-vegan calamari, but this is amazing. also the lemon sauce... omg. i wanted a bucket of that stuff haha Seitan "Steak" - our waitress said this dish is polarizing. we loved it! Its not dense oily seitan, its light and fluffy and full of flavor. even though it doesnt taste like a real steak, its GOOD! The gravy and the buttery potatoes were also so flavorful. Tuna Crudo & Caviar - Delish! Apparently this is from a vegan seafood food tech company, worth a try! Pruciotto Pizza - very good!! i feel like the sweet jam overpowers the meat. but if you pick off the meat and taste it separately, you'll be blown away by how good the procioutto is! get garlic knots too! read more

I ordered take out and based on the high yelp rating was expecting great things. I ordered chicken parm which ended up being 90% breading and chicken so thin I could barely find it. I did not even eat half of the meal because it was just all breading. Not sure I would try again based in my experience read more

Vegan food done right. I used to think that vegan food only consisted of kale salads. Boy was I wrong! Here's what we ordered: ~Strawberry Bellini ~Charred rosemary bourbon ~Vegan Calamari- king oyster mushroom rings, parsley lemon sauce, and marinara sauce. I can not believe this was made out of mushrooms! The texture was so comparable to calamari. ~Puttanesca Meatballs- lemon brown butter sauce, capers, kalamata olives, Roma tomatoes, vegan mozzarella, parsley garlic knots. They tasted just like real meatballs! Absolutely delicious. ~Confit Potato Lasagna-sautéed impossible meat, garlic, marinara sauce, vegan mozzarella, basil. I highly recommend you try this amazing dish. They came in cute rolls of yummyness. ~Steak Marsala-seared seitan steak, Marsala sauce, baked lemon potatoes, parsley, grilled asparagus. This saucy dish was so amazing. It really makes an excellent meat substitute for sure. ~Coletta Tiramisu- espresso liqueur infused ladyfingers, Madagascar vanilla cream, shaved dark chocolate, cocoa powder, lemon zest ~Strawberry Panna Cotta- strawberry coulis, vanilla, fresh strawberries, mint. What a refreshing dessert. The texture was so incredible! Head over to this hot vegan restaurant in NYC. It was packed even on a Monday night, which totally makes sense because the food was that good. For vegans and non-vegans, this is an excellent spot. read more

I'd really love to say Coletta is amazing... service was an issue and their draft beer tap was out. Our server was super friendly, but not well trained. Food was OK. Not perfection, and normally I'd give Colleta 3 stars, but given they are attempting plant based, I am guilty of a bit of grade inflation. The mushroom truffle pizza was the best of our order. We liked the portobello carpaccio. The broccoli raab was a bit cold, and the beet salad was OK. read more

This was an exceptional dining experience. The food and service were phenomenal. My 10-year-old daughter was happy with everything as well and they were very accommodating with her wanting a simpler meal (plain noodles with olive oil). The desserts were heavenly. Everyone was friendly and attentive. This place is perfect for vegans and non-vegans alike. Coletta exemplifies just how fancy and delicious vegan food can be! I would return to NYC just to eat here! read more

We have now eaten here twice and can say with confidence that the food and service is outstanding as is the setting that provides a warm, cozy ambiance. Servings are generous and executed to perfection. Love that it is all plant-based. Will absolutely return on our next trip to NYC. read more

I was craving Italian food and brought a group of omnivore friends to check out Coletta with me. We shared the Cultured "cheese" Board and were duly delighted - that was an experience I had not had in years, since becoming vegan and my friends could not get over how "true" to flavor and texture it was! We ordered a wide variety of food from the menu and everyone thought their dishes were great - vegan or not! I now have a "go to" for Italian food and look forward to trying more items from the menu - thank you Coletta! read more

Great atmosphere and service.. The food is amazing... Mushroom calamari and meatballs..oh my..!!!! read more

This was the most beautiful vegan restaurant I've ever been to (and I was vegan for almost 6 years)! My friend celebrated her birthday here, and it was the perfect atmosphere for a special event. The drinks were very good, and the bartender and waiters were nice. The olive and rosemary bread was amazing!! The bread was so fresh and fluffy, and it came with three spreads. My sausage ravioli was just okay- I wish there was cheese in it and more sauce. Although, it did taste just like real sausage. My friends' food was better- they got the pizza, chicken parm, and lumache alla vodka. All in all, I would recommend this place if you're vegan/vegetarian and are looking for a fancy place to eat. It's hard finding vegan restaurants with a nice ambiance, so this one is definitely at the top of my list! read more

The easiest 5 stars I've ever given. Being a vegan, I'm very particular with what makes up a good vegan spot, and this checked every box. Tasty, filling, worth the price. A truly perfect meal! I got the gnocchi and the mushroom truffle pizza. My friend and I split it - it was SO good and SO filling. 10/10 Service - 12/10!!! Abby went above and beyond to make our experience great. She was super helpful with helping us pick menu items, very attentive while we were eating to make sure we were happy, and was simply a joy to talk to after we were finished. Fantastic experience - will be our new weekly spot for sure! read more

Might be the best vegan gluten free pizza I've had in nyc so far! Had the seared mushroom with truffle oil pizza and it was amazing. We ate the whole thing between two Ppl haha. My friend is vegan so appreciate this place has such amazing food and everything is vegan so gotta go back and try more. Minus a star bc the lemon baked potatoes didn't taste any lemon.. They were so so. read more

We got takeout from here and had to call to make sure it was actually vegan when we were eating the steak. It was unbelievably delicious. The broccolini was cooked to perfection and the mashed potatoes were so smooth and flavorful. Best meal that we have had in a while! We also enjoyed the garlic knots and tiramisu dessert. read more

What can I say, this place was awesome! We came here for my boyfriend's birthday last night, and the food, service, and drinks were amazing! Everything we tried was so good (my boyfriend is the only vegan in the group and all of us loved it)! I was particularly impressed by the calamari, since I'm a pescatarian and don't normally love seafood substitutes, but these tasted like the real thing! Aside from the great food, the service was also amazing! Our server was so kind and he and two workers came at the end to sing happy birthday to my boyfriend (this was legitimately the best happy birthday has ever sounded at a restaurant their voices were gold). All in all, I definitely recommend coming here, especially for special occasions! Recommend the calamari, chick'n alfredo, fig and prosciutto pizza, chick'n piccata, and the tiramisu! read more

Very nice ambiance and staff very friendly came to support a friend who does vegan cheeses (that are AMAZING) but no longer on menu Oyster "calamari " delicious and my friends who had the mushroom pizza and "prosciutto" pizza loved. Didn't love the hummus Oh well cant have everything. If in neighborhood, would go back but not a destination or read more

Excellent food. Chef Guy hits it out of the park again. We ate here last week and last night for a birthday dinner. Highly recommend the Chickn Linguini Alfredo, garlic knots, Marsala Seitan, Penne a la vodka, and the strawberry lime soda! The pesto gnocci were great but could have had more gnocci and bread to dip in the sauce would be clutch. Mushrooms on pizza could have been crispier. Oyster mushroom calamari were awesome! Everything was flavorful and it's still new. Either way, amazing experience and delicious food! Portions were large besides gnocci. Customer service was superb. Staff was super attentive and friendly. They were busy and forgot our soda but then the manager came to us afterwards and gave us one to go anyway. That is how you manage! A++++ read more

Have lived in the area for almost 3 years and finally stopped into this gorgeous spot last night. Ambiance: The restaurant is absolutely gorgeous and all the small details are perfection. It has a dark and romantic feel while feeling spacious. I went at 6:30pm and the space was pretty quiet. It was 95 degrees and it was HOT inside but within a few minutes of another guests asking for more AC the space got nice and cool. Food: I'm vegetarian but definitely love me a dairy item. I have a vegan sister however so I'm no stranger to vegan eats. This food was to die for!! We got the bread in the flower pot to start with the trio of dips, the margarita pizza, and the strawberry dessert. Everything was absolutely delicious! Friends got the rigatoni vodka and the linguini alfredo and we all licked our plates clean! Staff: Staff were all so kind and professional. They have a real understanding for the menu and were great in helping us make our selections! Will definitely be back!! read more

Another incredible Guy Vaknin vegan spot. Upscale but not too fancy, something for everyone and really lovely staff. I bring my non-vegan friends here and they're always blown away! Get the garlic knots! read more

Can I give six stars?? ****** Coletta is absolutely FANTASTIC! If I had 3 wishes, one of them would be for an elegant, stylish, delicious vegan restaurant in Kips Bay. GRANTED! I have already eaten two delicious meals from this place to be sure. Everything is delectable. Beautiful environment. Supreme flavors and presentation. Attentive, charismatic staff. We shall work our way through every item on the menu over the next few weeks, so I will update this review after I've tasted everything. Thus far I can strongly recommend the following: -Calimari: beautiful texture, crisp and flavorful, Fun presentation in a standing "newsprint" cone accompanied by lemon wedges and savory marinara and pesto dipping sauces. -Gnocchi: plump, gorgeous, pillowy potato pasta swimming in thick, yummy broccoli pesto with pignoli nuts. -Meatballs: potent, rich puttanesca-soaked minced tender balls of goodness textured and flavored so much like meat that it is a bit scary for us vegans ;) -Risotto: Delicate and complex, with fresh, deep-sea textures and flavors to die for -Steak: Hearty and satisfying with glorious potatoes, succulent asparagus stalks, and an indulgent sauce. If anything, this seitan steak is sooo "meaty" it is a bit scary for us vegans again ;) -Garlic Knots: soft yet firm glazed parsley delights -Pizza Funghi: Flaky, fluffy crust with umami goodness and spicy, carmelized perfection -Pizza Carciofi: Lovely, grand mix of spinach and artichokes, so much like what I once ate on special afternoons as a grad student in Italy, a summer abroad in your mouth -Tiramisu: You want this! On your deathbed! The best ever. And I've eaten a ton of tiramisu over my 1/2 century of life! This is the BEST ONE EVER! A glorious symphony of cacao, cream, and café....ayyyyy...a perfect pairing with -Espresso: classic! On this Valentine's day, I declare that I've fallen in love with Coletta and can't wait for another date with this outstanding restaurant! -xoxo - Kimberly read more

Coletta was our dine in choice celebrating valentines and am I glad we picked this amongst a list of choices. Food was exquisite and tasteful. We are vegans and all selection from the appetizers, to pasta, to the entree, the dessert were all prepared very well with flavors bursting. Even their cocktails were refreshing with a great balance. Our server Tirsa and Noel were a delight. Doing their job with a smile. We can't wait to visit their brand new vegan restaurant at Chelsea Piers called Anixi. read more

This restaurant has a great vibe, it feels and looks very upscale but is reasonably priced. My partner is vegan and I am not so we do enjoy going to restaurants that are vegan but have different takes on Italian food. This pizza here had so much flavor the crust was crispy and felt like it was buttered which is hard to accomplish with vegan pizza. This place had the best vegan pizza I have ever tried and I have had tons of vegan pizza around the world! This place is a top notch restaurant and the wait staff also provided excellent service! My partner and I are never in a rush to eat and ate together for most of our order; we tried the fig salad that had vegan feta which was amazing, margarita pizza, buffalo chick'n pizza and the seitan steak marsala with potatoes! Every bite felt amazing; I would highly recommend going here especially if you're looking to try some vegan italian! read more

The food and service were unreal! Can't wait to come back to NYC just to eat here again!

We ate at Coletta last night for our 10-year wedding anniversary and it was an outstanding choice for a special occasion. We wanted something very special to mark the occasion, and we briefly considered "fancier" and more expensive restaurants, but we're so happy we selected Coletta instead! Every dish we ordered was delicious, but there was one pasta special that truly stood out: a spaghetti Alfredo dish with "blue cheese" and pancetta. I said to my husband that it might be the single actual best dish I have had in my entire life. I can't begin to describe how incredible that flavor profile was: it was sweet and creamy and smoky and savory and every bite was a delight. It came with chunks of blue cheese that melted beautifully into the rest of the sauce. Wish I had gotten a photo! The next best dish we ordered was the squid ink ravioli - this place seems to really excel at pasta especially. There were so many thoughtful touches from the chef. We ordered a sausage artichoke pizza, and I loved how they didn't just haphazardly toss the toppings on, but instead made sure EACH slice of pizza had the same amount of sausage and artichoke on it. The service and atmosphere were great. The wait staff was always there when we needed them without hovering or being intrusive. A really lovely meal! My husband (who is not vegan) is already clamoring to go back so the next opportunity we can. It was that good! read more

Elegant vibe for a perfect date night. Delicious pastas (how is this gluten free penne so good?) And the scallop appetizer special is a must. So creamy it's hard to believe the panna cotta is dairy free. read more

Had dinner here last night and I can't overstate how excellent my experience was! Great/friendly staff, incredible menu and beautiful spot for a date. Had the calamari, the fig salad, the "squid" ink ravioli, wild mushroom truffle pizza, lemon potatoes and tiramisu as well as a terrific bottle of syrah--everything was so delicious and fresh! Also very special that the chef took the time to say hi on a bustling Friday night. Can't wait to come back for more! read more
