Colletti's - Chicago, Illinois

John M.

Located on the Northwest side of Chicago,this 4 generation family owned and operated establishment has evolved into a neighborhood favorite.

Their menu is extensive with a huge selection of appetizers,soups,salads,pizza,sandwiches,pastas and desserts.

Service is amazing and once we were seated we were brought complimentary Italian bread with olive oil and butter.

Each dinner comes with either soup or salad. The Minestrone soup was very good..loaded with fresh vegetables and flavor.

We had the Short Rib Bucatini which had a delicious tomato Ragu sauce . Portion was big enough to share.

If you are looking for traditional Italian family recipes in a cozy setting,give Colletti's a try..you will not be disappointed.

Has to be the worst service, waited TWO hours for them to bring out the salad and soup and then say “food will be out in another twenty”, I missed my flight to ohare cause of this place and their garbage servers. And after all that wait? Look at this tiny “steak sandwich”, this looks like dog food and tasted even worse.

Avoid this rat hole at all costs

Very nice place. Good menu choices and happy with the service and food. The chicken Parm was very good along with the vesuvio. Nice warm bread to start with garlic olive oil. The only minor complaint would be the Cesar salad was over dressed. I look forward to returning.

Went 2xs within the last month for lunch and dinner & have to say, it is a great spot to dine at. Great layout for dining in or outside in the patio. Great ambience . Ordered chopped steak - very good, juicy & flavorful. I also had the chicken breast over angel hair spaghetti and grilled Asparagus- it was excellent! Chicken breast ( Chicken Angelina)is difficult to find that's moist juicy and cooked well, and this dish was amazing. Why not 5 stars? Because if I ordered a drink and wanted mezcal instead of what they offered why tf would you charge an additional 2.00 ? I've had these drinks all over and never get charged more because I choose a different tequila . Total B.S. ** side note - the food was not hot at all . It was warm at best because of the plate sitting under heatt lamps. Also had the pasta fagioli soup and it was warm. Not sure why these plates do not come out hot like they should but I guess next time I'll have to say something. Good food overall. I'll have to stop by again to see if they've improved.

My family had a private party here yesterday for my father's 90th birthday, and everything was absolutely perfect. The quality of the food, as well as the portion size, was quite good and everything was served fresh and hot. The soup came out hot, the rolls were fresh and hot, the entrees were hot - and delicious, and the veggies weren't over-cooked. Dessert service was flawless - coffee was fresh and hot and the ice cream was excellent quality.

We are so grateful to Allison for her attentive service as well as impeccable timing - she was wonderful to work with. 🙂

Thanks again to all your staff for making our father's special party a wonderful success. Grazie!

The place is nice with tasteful decoration. I ordered some veg gnocchi with broth. Unfortunately, it was very salty and I asked them to dilute the salt (instead of reordering another item), but the item was still salty. I had to ask for different item (pasta with vodka sauce) which was brought on time. The second item was fine. Others in my party seemed to enjoy their food. Just be mindful of this item.

After I got the table, they abandoned me pretty long time. Restaurant looked not that busy but okay, this part was understandable.

I ordered beef rib and baby back rib combo.

But I got two half slabs of baby back ribs.

Server did not know what is diffrence between pork rib and beef rib.

I told server that I received the wrong food twice, then she said that kitchen made a mistake on my order.

Server offered me a new food but I did not have enough time to wait a new food. So I refused it and just ate the wrong food.

After that, server tried to charge me the beef rib price.

Server kept saying to me that pork ribs are expensive than beef ribs. (?)

I still do not get it how is the pork rib can be expensive than beef rib. However the manager fixed the price and gave me a discount.

Such a great service!
I will never forget this experience.

And I learned new thing tonight.
Pork is expensive than beef.

Server was outstanding. She was very sweet, attentive, efficient, and professional. We decided to share the pork rib dinner. Without even asking, the kitchen cut the portions in half, giving each of us a meal on our own plate. That nice girl treated us as if we ordered two separate meals. My plate pic is a half portion.
This was my first visit, so I can't judge all the food by only tasting one menu item, but I can tell you I was dissatisfied with the pork ribs. Mainly because the sauce was mediocre at best. I know ribs dry out fast, but you could tell these were left over from lunch for the early evening crowd. Sauce had no zip.. and I've tasted BBQ sauce from Texas to Tennessee. Looked like made-from-scratch. I recommend adding a quarter cup smoke to each gallon.
It appears to be a good place to dine and have fun, but I didn't like the pork ribs. Ask to taste the BBQ sauce if you're thinking about the beef ribs. Value for the money is low because this place is a little high priced for the offering.
Recommend?.. hmm.. sure, why not. Maybe the pizza's good.😎
