Colosseo - North Lincolnshire

This has always been one of our favourite Italian restaurants in the Scunthorpe area for many years. We knew Coni Carlos were selling up we’re saddened to think of losing this fantastic dining experience. But to our amazement the new owners have not disappointed us, in fact they have excelled in their new venture! On arrival we were warmly greeted and seated quickly. We opted for a bottle of Sauvignon blanc totally delicious. Crab cakes for me goats cheese fritter for my wife of 32 years Both were to die for, fresh flavoursome. Having realised the new owners are Turkish we were pleased to try their home additions to the specials board! My main was mixed Turkish skewers, my wife had the monkfish. Nice to know the bulk of their staff are from the previous owners too! Having delighted our way through the mains we finished the wine chatted a while before deciding on a pudding excited to see they still did the Amereto slices we both opted for them. Mine with ice cream, the othe with cream…….OMG right choice too! As the restaurant slowly cleared of diners we found ourselves the last to leave, giving us a chance to find a little more about the new owners, Murat Emir, what great new hosts for this local gem of a restaurant, they asked our opinion on the food service, both were fantastic we cannot wait to return next weekend to try their lunchtime menus. Great work, looking forward to trying more Turkish treats along with the Italian choices.

Fantastic experience! Absolutely amazing food (even for my children, who are usually fussy eaters! Attentive and super- friendly service.

Excellent food, service and wines. A nice size menu with plenty of choice. Specials board behind bar to give you that little bit extra.

Absolutely terrible experience, food well bellow average and the temperature inside the restaurant was unbearable

Fantastic. I was apprehensive visiting since the new owners took over but had no reason to worry. They have continued the amazing work of the Catalano family. Attention to detail and high standard of food remains the same. A lovely family, very welcoming. They should be proud of their work.
