What Our Guests Say

Hear from the loyal customers who have made Colosseo their favourite restaurant for decades

"Best pizza in Winnipeg, hands down! Been coming here since the mid-80's and my husband has been since the mid-70's. I always intend to try something else but the pizza always draws me in! And save room for the tiramisu — make sure you order it as soon as you get there as it sells out."

Penny S September 2023

"This was our second visit to Colosseo and it was every bit as good as the first. The Cannelloni di Mare were full of seafood with an outstanding cream sauce. Gnocchi alla Sorrento was simply delicious with the rose sauce having a slight tang."

WpgTrvlrs August 2021

"We went to Colosseo for dinner tonight for my birthday and it was wonderful! Our wine arrived in a timely manner and our pizza did as well. It was hot and fresh. I was even given a slice of the most amazing tiramisu for my birthday."

Christine H September 2021

"The food is consistently good all the time. Some fan favorites are the chicken soup, the thin crust pizza, the seafood salad and my absolute favourite, veal piccata. Service is excellent, friendly atmosphere, and in the summer the patio is the place."

Brenda G March 2019

"For the last year we have been going once a month for dinner. Love the place, atmosphere, regular staff and most importantly food. We are always welcomed with a smile and great service. Out of all the Italian restaurants this one is our family's favorite."
