Colosseo Cucina Italiana

Came in tonight for the first time and I’ll definitely be back. Authentic vibe with excellent and attentive service from Andrea. We got the artichokes and he recommended the focaccia, which is excellent. I got the Sicilian pasta which was rich but well balanced and a generous portion. Tiramisu was among some of the best I’ve had. Overall very pleased with this new addition to solana beach! Highly recommend!

My Dad and I love this restaurant! We are so happy to have an outstanding high quality Italian food restaurant in Solana Beach. This is very rare as there have been very few restaurants in our town that deliver such incredible quality, service, and absolutely delicious food. The staff and the owners Ricardo and Josephine are the absolute best. This is a five 5 star restaurant in our beautiful little town! We are very fortunate to have such a high caliber restaurant here. They did an incredible job redecorating since it was Pizza Nova. The ambiance is amazing especially considering the space they were working with. When I come to this restaurant I really feel like I am being transported to Rome. We love it and everyone should try. The food is spectacular and they use the best ingredients.

The food was above average. Excellent service. Entrees were tasty… especially the pasta.

This place is outstanding. My friend Cam brought me here on a little bro-date. The food at this restaurant was incredibly fresh. I think our meals arrived in probably 7 minutes. I got the carbonara and the pizza calabria. 10/10 will be coming back. The owner is a world class human being too and was chatting with us at the bar. Elite.

I've now been there twice, tried their pizza, three diferent pasta dishes, two salads, foccacia bread, wines, and dessert, and I can say it's among the very best Italian restaurant I've been to in San Diego, possibly the very best, and I've been to many in Little Italy, downtown, and north coastal San Diego. First, it's authentic and not corporate, run by a family from Sicily. They are welcoming, warm, and friendly. The makeover of what was formerly Pizza Nova, has turned it into a very attractive and homey place, like something I'd find in Italy. The pizza is Rome styled, a thin chewy,
