Coletta Italian Vegan Restaurant

We visited here for an early birthday dinner on February 15. It’s been on our want to go since we love Willow. As a family, we love pasta and haven’t found an Italian vegan restaurant yet, so we had high expectations. I think our expectations were a bit too high and therefore our review will be a reflection of that. 🍄 The Crispy Calamari (compared to Willow’s) was ok. 😩 🥩 Steak Tartare and Black Caviar not for us. 😒 (Texture, temperature, flavor.) 🥫 Puttanesca Meatballs absolutely delicious! 🤤 The garlic knots and sauce were divine. However, I wish the meatballs were made with mushrooms (instead of Beyond? Impossible?) 🍕 Wild Mushroom Truffle pizza was ok. The crust was crispy yet soft. The topping is not something we would choose typically, but we were trying new options and stepping out

Superb vegan experience. The mock meat had texture, flavor and matched each dish perfectly. The flavors of the eggplant and pastas were complemented with rich and fresh sauces with an infusion of herbs. We finished with and incredibly delicious vegan flan with strawberry coulis. The staff were warm and very helpful deciding flavors and complimenting dishes. An excellent evening with such a variety of tasteful options. Having just visited Italy and tasted the wonders across many of its provinces, Coletta delivers on a truly Italian experience with the boldness of its flavors sustained in the vegan presentation.

We had an amazing dinner last night and thoroughly enjoyed every course. Lucy gave us great service. A wide variety of Italian dishes adapted with vegan ingredients like caprese salad, ravioli, and tiramisu. Several options in each course could be adopted for gluten free diets. We would definitely go back the next time we visit NY.

The sauce that came with the puttanesca meatballs was the best tomato based sauce I’ve ever had. Paired perfectly with the garlic knots which were delicious. 10/10. The margherita pizza was good. The crust had a light crisp and was soft. Probably wouldn’t get the pizza again. 7/10. We also got the Lumache alla vodka. This was also delicious. 8/10. The tiramisu was 10/10 and so was the chocolate dome dessert. Service was great as well. Can’t wait to go back!

I'm not vegan. I'm usually heavy into meat. I went with some friends who are vegan. The food was really good and much better than I expected. I Really enjoyed each meal. Great spot to eat at!
