My mom and I stopped here on a whim as we used to live in the area and we were pleasantly surprised to find this little gem. Our waiter was such a nice gentleman, so respectful so hard to find in this day and age. The food was incredible and then we had dessert and I only thought to take a picture of my dessert. Sorry it was the Oreo cookie cheesecake. Yum! Yum! If you’re ever in this area, definitely stop in. The food is well worth it!

By far one of the best Italian spots I have been to in the area. The food was outstanding, service was impeccable ! Our waiter Alfredo was the best ever. So kind and respectful. I will be back very soon!

Amazing Italian food! We started off with a burrata caponata and beet salad – both were absolutely amazing. For entrees, we had the gnocchi with burrata, pesto, and marinara, hot pepper chicken, seafood pasta and branzino, which was perfectly filleted by our waiter table-side. Everything we ordered aside from the branzino was a special. We also had the tiramisu which was delicious. Our waiter, who happened to be the manager, went above and beyond to ensure that we had a fantastic dining experience. He was very attentive and provided impeccable service. Overall amazing food and service! Will be recommending to all my friends and family!

We reserved a table under the recommendation from a close friend. To say our meal was outstanding would be an understatement. From the appetizers, to the entrees, to the dessert, each was exceptional. The service was on point. The young ladies at the reception area warmly greeted us with a genuine smile. The manager made it a point to visit and greet each table. The deliciously prepared food selections made us want to finish it all, but we decided to pack up our leftovers so there would be room for dessert. We are anxious to return in the near future! Don’t forget, this establishment is BYOB! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Out of this world! The hostess was kind the moment we walked in, the waiter was attentive, funny, and so polite! Every single bite was to die for. We got gnocchi with vodka sauce and the asparagus risotto! We also got the Sicilian cannoli to end the night. Honestly I want to go back just to try every entree. Definitely recommend !

Date night, celebrations, or just dinner out, Il Colosseo is the place that is perfect for all. Great Italian restaurant with the original in Brooklyn. Amazing food and service. Been there at least a dozen times and have never been disappointed. Specials change daily and are well worth it.

Ate here for the first time this past Saturday evening; a party of 6. Outstanding. The service was paced beautifully; meaning, we ordered our appetizers first, and the server didn’t take our entree orders until we were finished. So we had some time to digest our appetizers and were comfortably hungry for the main meal — not stuffed because it came too soon and not starving because we had to wait forever. All meals came out at the same time, all piping hot. Never had to flag someone down for water refills; the young man always seemed to be there right when you needed him.

If you’re in or near Monmouth County, NJ, a visit to Il Colloseo Middletown is a must. For years, my favorite pork chop was from a restaurant in Sea Bright but tonight this one was literally the very best pork chop I’ve ever had. Amazing every time but I almost always order the veal parm – so glad I took the server’s recommendation! Our favorite spot we dine here 1-2x/week.
