Ate here once in Jun 23 and, despite having 2 restaurants near my hotel, had no qualms to take make the 15 min walk past yet more options for both my nights in Mar 24. Superb pasta and fantastic fish specials (the tuna was a very generous portion). Having lived in Italy, this is the most authentic Italian I've eaten at in the UK: both food and, even, the menu (with primi and secondi options). RECOMMEND BOOKING if going after 1930 as very busy entailing vibrant atmosphere but still with quick, friendly, service. Hope I get chance to come back again!

Hands down my favourite restaurant ever. Used to be a regular since 2022 but had the pleasure of dining last night and was recognised so that was lovely. Food is always 10/10 and so helpful and polite. I get the Garlic prawns and the Tagliatelle al Salmone, also the honeycomb cheesecake is to die for. Absolutely love this place will be back very soon!!

I was visiting the area on business and I found this restaurant. The staff were so welcoming and the food was excellent. What helps is that is clearly an Italian family running it so the hospitality and quality of food meets their own very high standards. Very grateful

13. Feb. 2024 Unacceptable noise level from the kitchen departement, boring dish penne pollo, could not see what was Penne and what was pollo, a few green coloured leaves of some sort…. What about some side salad…Cutlery not appetizing. Starter plates awful… Brushetta half burnt… Italian elderly servant quick, smiling and funny, but an Italian kitchen should know how to make a meal look and taste better than what I was served yesterday.

Lovely Italian restaurant. We had dinner here four times already since we moved to Aldershot. Warm servers with good humour. There, tiramisu is delicious and rich and a must try. They always have fresh seafood and specials, which my husband and I always go for. They never disappoint us on the quality and service. We will definitely go back again.

We hadn’t been for a while but it was just as perfect as before ambience food and staff were all perfect . Flavours were just so yummy the beautiful white tablecloths, cutlery and glasses perfectly clean and crisp nothing was a problem the waiter was never hovering but just knew when to appear, yes it is not inexpensive but the cost is perfect for what you receive. I would rather wait three months and to go to Il colleseo than go out for three months at all. They really do a fantastic menu and create that perfect balance of hospitality.

My partner and I had been wanting to visit this place for a longtime. I really wish we hadn’t! It was so uncomfortable and the food was bad. The staff were so depressed and even got annoyed when we rejected their dessert cart. My pizza was flavourless and undercooked. For an Italian restaurant, I don’t need to write anymore. It’s a solid no from us!!!

I visited this restaurant one weekday evening around 20:30 as it was close to my accommodation. It was not busy and I was able to get a table. It was a nice clean restaurant and the staff were very friendly. The time to read through the menu and make a desicion was just right before my order was taken. I had a veal dish and it and the vegetables were just to my liking, just wish I had the time to try a dessert.

This is our go-to favourite for a treat or any occasion and we’re never ever disappointed. It’s a friendly, lively place with a bit of atmosphere and fresh, authentic food. Always greeted with a warm welcome. Last night we enjoyed starters, mains and desserts, the only problem is making decisions on what to choose. Prawns and chilli, mozzarella and roasted veggies, garlic bread. Pizza, salad, steak with peppercorn sauce. Followed by profiteroles, Irish coffees… a real treat.

Went here for dinner with a group of colleagues and really enjoyed the experience. Based in an old bank the restaurant provided us with a friendly welcome by the family owner; such "old-fashioned" a welcome is to be celebrated and made us settle in for a lovely evening of good food and nice drinks. Plenty of choice was provided and the pizza and pasta dishes were well cooked and nicely presented. I have not been here before this visit and after this experience this will certainly not be the last time that I eat in this great new discovery. Easy parking on the street outside was an added bonus and I can heartily recommend this place.

Da italiano posso dire che si tratta di un ristorante italiano che cucina con i gusti locali e non con le ricette originali italiane e quindi forse è apprezzato dagli inglesi. Basta pensare alla carbonara con la panna... Ho preso la pizza vegetariana e credo che la base fosse precotta, il forno è elettrico e non a legna. Pensavo di prendere i dolci che il proprietario diceva di fare in casa ma poi avvicinano al tavolo il carrello e come si vede dalle foto si tratta di dolci rigorosamente industriali (della Bindi) e non artigianali. Prezzi nella media del posto.

Il Colesseo in my opinion, feels a bit out of touch with trying to get returning customers. Don't get me wrong, the staff were attentive. The restaurant had high ceilings which made the place very loud acoustically. At times we struggled to understand/hear our waiters and ourselves. The food was punching above its weight did not fit the price tag. Not the greatest experience. The food arrived quickly but at different intervals. From the first plate of our party of five to the last was about 5 minutes. So some of the food got cold on the table whilst waiting for the rest of our party to be served. The main dish I ordered was the "Pollo Diavola" - Breast of chicken with tomato, chilli and peppers. The taste was average and a bit bland. The portion sizes were not fitting for the price. There was minimal everything... vegetables, roasted potato cubes (about 3/4 inch in size) and chicken paillard was small. Was left feeling disappointed. We had a choice of dessert which was displayed to us on a regular tea trolly with no refrigeration. Quaint if you like that style but I would prefer a chilled dessert. The plated presentation of the Tiramisu dessert was not pretty. It felt like I was having a school dinner. One thing to be wary of is the menu prices. They are displayed outside and on the tables. For the chicken dish on both of these is priced at £15.95. When the bill arrived it was priced at £16.95. So when ordering, I would advise checking with your waiter that the price on the menu is correct. The dining experience at Il Colesseo was, for me, one to forget. Its a shame as there have been a lot of good reviews for the place. Maybe a review of the restaurant is required by the owners.
