It was a wonderful evening out. Our table for four was front and center of the evening musician/pianist. Drinks multiple apps, a charcuterie board, dinners, desserts, were all fabulous.We will return again...The pianist Ed Bemish of Green Piano in Hudson set the perfect mood for the evening!

Bit pricey, but you get what you pay for - delicious, well-made food. Service was great and servers were helpful with making decisions.

As usual, the food and service were excellent. The pasta with calamari was delicious. Our waitress was very attentive without being intrusive and was well versed in dealing with food allergies.

Over crowded. We were a party of 15 with a 5:30 reservation. It was 8 when we finally finished because it took 30 minutes to get waited on and another 30 to get appetizers.

We had a party of 6 for my wife's birthday. It was a Sunday afternoon so there was a moderate crowd. All six members loved their meals (chix parm, chix w/veg in light wine sauce & eggplant). Huge portions. The apps were very good. The "greatest" mushrooms are GREAT. Calamari was decent. Our server was new, but she did a very good job. It was a wonderful overall experience! Oh, we split 3 slices of lemon cake. Absolutely delicious. Thank you Colosseum!

I'm sorry to say that this restaurant has really declined in quality of food and overall service. We have 4 people celebrating birthday and every single person was disappointed. We asked for a birthday desert, it was a sour tiramisu I a glass dish that was probably on a shelf for a few days. And I had to pay 9$ for it. We used to love it there, but the last 2 times were so disappointing that we will not give this restaurant another try.

Had a reservation for valentine’s day and got seated immediately and got our drinks and bread then never saw our server again. We waited 45 minutes for her to come over to just take our order for entrees, and another server had to tell her to come back over to us. She had packed up in the back already, all ready to leave and seemed annoyed when she put her apron back on to take our orders. We told her we weren’t hungry anymore and were gonna leave and she wasn’t even apologetic towards us. We were excited to enjoy a date there for valentine’s day, booked days in advance and we got that service. Truly embarrassingthanks for ruining the night

We had reservations at Colosseum tonight. We were seated promptly, and the service was great as usual! I highly recommend their Veal Francese. My husband eat his entire lasagna.

Old-school Italian restaurant with good food and reasonably priced. Very popular not one of these updated pretentious places. Really old-school good food nice people service was great. I got eggplant Parm and they did a beautiful job with it! Would return.

Overall this was an excellent spot for dinner. We had a large party, 20+ people and they were able to accommodate our seating. I ordered the shrimp and steak dinner, it was on the specials list. It was extremely pricy for dinner considering the shrimp was over cooked but still edible and the steak tips were severely under cooked. I ordered them medium-well and received medium-rare. The middle of one of the pieces was so rare it was dark red and bloody. Needless to say I didn't eat the steak. I didn't send my meal back to the kitchen to be fixed. I took it home and recooked it myself. The waiter was excellent. He was on top of everyone's drinks and orders and was visible if something was needed.

Meal was fantastic! Service was a bit slow, but seemed to be one server for a large section. She worked hard and was very pleasant so I don't think it was on her. Can't wait to go back!
