We had an antipasto salad with Italian dressing which was very good! We also ordered the famous BBQ pizza, I was less impressed. It had a lot of meat on it but not a lot of flavor. The sauce squirted all over the top tasted more like flavorless pizza sauce instead of BBQ sauce, I expected a sweet tangy BBQ... More

In a slow restaurant we waited at least 10 minutes before we were greeted and once our order was taken, we never saw our waitress again until we hunted her down to ask for the check.

It's all good, but we love the barbecue pizza and the eggplant parmigiana. The rolls are very light and fluffy and FRESH!

We have been visiting Coletta's since our college days in the early 1960's, first at the original So. Parkway location, then at the Summer Ave location till it burned down, and now at the Appling location close to our house. Last Friday at about 4:15PM we arrived and asked for a table by the windows. The dining room was almost... More

We came here on a recommendation from a teenager (which will never happen again !) Coletta's is a family-style restaurant whose great claim to fame is a gorgeous, if not ostentatious, fountain in the middle of the dining room. That, unfortunately, is where the fascination ends. The service was quite slow and brusque when it did finally arrive. My husband... More

My wife likes it much better than me. Lacks some flavor in my opinion. Much rather go to Pete & Sams for the flavor.

We've been here many times. It's one of our favorites. This visit had to be the best by far though. Great pizzas!! My boyfriend is a spaghetti snob and he LOVES theirs. Can't say enough great things. Fabulous knot rolls and their bartender is the bomb.

Recently revisited this restaurant after being away for over a year. The food here is still good. Barbecue pizza is more than a plate full. The chicken Alfredo is wonderful. I found the service to be a little slow. Couldn't help but notice the place just seemed dead, no life, just boring. This is a good place to go if... More

The BBQ pizza is unlike any other--it's amazing. The traditional Italian dishes are all excellent, too.
