Came here for dinner on a Monday night and it was pretty busy. We made a reservation beforehand thankfully. Our waiter was super nice and we ordered some olives to share. We were really suprised for how expensive the food was, that there was no complimentary bread, which I feel like most italian restaurants have. We ordered the tagliatelle, sachetti, and mushroom and sausage pizza. The tagliatelle was pretty good, but we were suprised by the portion size of the Sacchetti since it was $32. However, the fig jus was delicious and i loved that it was a sweet/savory dish. The pizza was also fine. We ordered the bruised sweet potato torta dessert to go. It was not too sweet and tasted like a sweet potato pie. Overrall, the food was a little expensive but good, not sure if we will back again. But it’s a great place to come for a nice dinner.

Colletta completely exceeded our expectations. My fiancé brought me here for my birthday and everything, from the food to the atmosphere, was perfect. Nevena was hands down one of the best servers we’ve ever had: thoughtful recommendations, attentive service, and such a warm personality that made the night feel even more special. And the Italian music playing all night? Absolutely loved it. Coletta is a total gem. Highly recommend!

Had an early dinner here. That is notable since some menu items are only available after 5pm. Everyone I interacted with was friendly, the food was delicious, and we got in and out in a reasonable timeframe.

Had A Fresh Start mocktail which was good (once stirred). They do not bring bread to the table so we started with an order of Focaccia. The top of the bread was crunchy while the inside was soft and the cheese on top added to the taste. I ate the Rigatoni which was yummy and had so much flavor. I will be returning here in the future.

I’d never been here before, and I didn’t even know this place existed until an hour before I went—but my time here has me still wanting to go back as soon as I can.

I came to celebrate my 26th birthday with my family, have a lowkey night with some lowkey vibes and enjoy amazing food, and honestly, any expectations I had about Colletta were blown out of the water.
From the moment I stepped in the door (they can take reservations btw), I was greeted by smiling faces wishing me a happy birthday and welcoming me in for the very first time. From there, my experience only got better. The girl who helped us—I feel awful for blanking on her name because she 1000% deserves recognition—was extremely personable and cracked jokes with my family and I throughout the night as we dined. She made us feel welcome, and almost like we were the only people in there. She helped us navigate the menu, offering her knowledge of it to provide recommendations and help us decide.

I ended up getting the Chicken Parm over a bed of rigatoni and vodka sauce, and honestly I had forgotten to take a picture before I had absolutely annihilated half the pasta—it WAS indeed that good.
Outside of the food, there was an ambient hum of conversation throughout the night that never rose to unreasonable levels, no matter how many people came through the door. It made for easy and light conversation without getting drowned out by normal restaurant noise for the entire time I was there.

Now, I typically don’t write a whole lot of reviews, but Colletta and the people there offered me such an amazing experience that I just had to share it.

Now I know that three things are for certain: Death, Taxes, and that I will be back here for 27

Where do I start?!
From atmosphere, over service, to the food. Everything was amazing.
Came here for our Christmas party and we all got to enjoy and share delicious appetizers, main courses and desserts.
Our party was located in a private area from where you could see the beautiful Christmas tree outside and see people enjoy ice skating.
Our server was phenomenal, even though I remember his name I couldn’t spell it lol but I want to thank him for great service, a fun smooth evening and being patient with us as we went through our meals and gift exchange.
The food was absolutely delicious and I think it is such an awesome thing that it rotates so there’s always something new to try.
We all had a fun evening and enjoyed ourselves to the fullest. I can highly recommend to give Colletta at Fenton in Cary a visit and indulge in their Italian cuisine!

We had an amazing experience, and a big part of it was thanks to our waiter, Adam’s. From the moment we sat down, he was welcoming, attentive, and very professional. He made sure everything was perfect, checked on us at the right times, and had such a friendly attitude that made us feel comfortable and taken care of.

His recommendations were great, the service was fast, and he handled everything with patience and a smile. You can tell he truly cares about giving customers a good experience.

Highly recommend! 10/10

LOVE this place. We celebrated a long overdue anniversary date here and splurged. Ordered a few apps and cocktails and bottle of wine. The bartender wasn’t the best— despite engaging him in friendly conversation (baseball playoffs, where he was from etc) at a nearly empty bar he was just kind of dull and not interested in engaging. I think that should be a requirement for a bartender, or at least pretend to be engaged. He was busy chatting it up with the waiters and discussing plans for after work though—I get it. The service/hospitality industry is tough but when motivated by tips, I’d think he’d care more. Hoping to go back and experience a better bartender but besides that the food was EXCELLENT. The mussels were on par with the mussels we ate fresh from Washington on our honeymoon. Just wish they weren’t so skimpy with the bread served to dip up that delicious sauce. I don’t think at the price of their food that bread should be a $14 appetizer. Order the arranchini! Calamari was good but our least favorite of the 3. The bottle of wine he recommended (Barolo) was nothing like the wine we described we liked— I think he was pretending to know wine but clearly missed the mark. An expensive $78 mistake.

Visited Colletta for a dinner with coworkers and had an overall nice meal. I thought service was great throughout and the food portion sizes were massive. The actual dishes I felt varied from great to only okay, and the general aesthetic was a bit boring. Drinks were impressive however and the restaurant was buzzing with energy on a Monday.

I love trying new spots in the area and was craving Italian with how cold the weather’s been. I heard positive things about Colletta, so I figured I would bring a date to check it out.
We arrived at our reservation about 15 minutes early and were told our table wasn’t ready. Absolutely fine, so we went to the bar and grabbed a few drinks. The cocktails were nothing to write home about. My date got their spin on an old-fashioned and was underwhelmed.
We weren’t called to our table until about 15 minutes after our reservation booking. So waiting at the bar for about 30 minutes in total.
I enjoy trying a bit of everything, so I did just that when ordering off their menu. Beginning with their green-heavy starters, I ordered the insalata and a burrata. The insalata was overdressed, and nothing to write home about, and the burrata was just that burrata on a large bed of arugula.
Then, moving on to the mussels and calamari, I enjoyed the mussels but was underwhelmed by the calamari. The breading was on everything but the octopus. You would pick up a piece, and the breading would decide to stay behind on the warm plate.
We also ordered the spicy pizza, which was solid! The crust was thin and crisp, and the ingredients were of desirable quality.
Moving on to the pasta/main courses, we ordered the rigatoni, lobster ravioli, lasagna, chicken parmesan, and carbonara.
My highlights were the lobster ravioli and the rigatoni.
The lobster ravioli was fresh, and the cream sauce pairing was decadent enough to make you pace yourself between bites. The beef ragu rigatoni provided balanced acidity when we needed a break from the ravioli and was a solid choice.
The others I found to be a touch lackluster.
The lasagna came out like a brick. I get its 15 layers, but I had to saw into it to get a bite. Chicken Parmesan was a generous portion, but very oversalted, and the carbonara was nothing to write home about.
We opted not to get dessert!
Overall, if you’re craving pasta, not too picky about seasoning, and want considerable portions, this spot is for you.

Without a doubt the best dinner experience we’ve had in a while. Me and my now wife got married yesterday and decided we’d do some running around and happened upon Colletta on a whim. Not only were we welcomed by an amazing atmosphere as soon as we arrived but our waitress Madeline provided us with PHENOMENAL service. From the drinks she made, to her attentiveness, and just all around providing us with a great experience. She asked if we were celebrating anything and we briefly mentioned our marriage and the manager on duty Kenny was gracious enough to stop by and wish us well and gifted us wine glasses on behalf of the restaurant. We love trying new places in NC but this is definitely somewhere we’ll be returning in the near future. The entire staff and experience was 10/10.
