Shout out to this local gem! We patronized this establishment on Friday! The food and drinks are delicious, consistent and the atmosphere, owners and staff are amazing! We frequent her often enough to know that it can fill up quickly, so we make sure we call them early enough, to guarantee our reservation. The libations are unique, delicious and well crafted. The bartender is warm and engaging and owners while not tending to business matters, make it a point to get around to greet and say hello to their customers. There is always a smile to go with your delicious meal! I can’t say enough good things about Colao’s, but to say, if you’re going to be in the area to make sure you stop in. Please don’t forget to call!!! It is a busy establishment for good reason and they only take reservations

First time here and it won't be our last ! Everything was excellent. We did have a reservation which I highly recommend . To walk in here and smell all that delicious food and be turned away would be soooo disappointing! MAKE A RESERVATION! You won't be disappointed. ❤️

This was an absolute pleasure of an evening from start to finish. I had some of the best service iv had in years everyone was so friendly n welcoming and the food …omg the food was so on point this place is worth hiding to keep to myself. If you haven’t taking the time to make a reservation I highly recommend that you do.

I'm a big girl, I wasn't aware the booths would be about a foot deep from the back of the seat to the edge of the table. I recommend requesting a table if you're a bigger person, I did not and I had to sit at the bar on my anniversary night because they couldn't give me a table until over an hour past my reservation time (They book up quick). The atmosphere is fantastic, small and intimate. The food is TO DIE FOR. I recommend the lemonchello, it's homemade and fantastic. The bartender bought my husband and I a glass for our anniversary, thanks again, girlie!

We’ve gone 6 times in the last 12 months and while I’ve found the food to be really good, my most recent experience while making a reservation was pretty terrible and I want others to be warned. When calling to make a reservation for 7 I was told it would be fine for the evening but when I mentioned we had children the person scheduling said they’d pass. We've been loyal customers but won’t be returning or recommending.
