If there’s one thing you have to try at Coltivare, it’s the dessert—absolute perfection! While I haven’t had a chance to sample the rest of the menu yet, if the dessert is any indication, the food here must be incredible. Trust me, even if you just pop in for a sweet treat at the bar, it’s worth the trip.
The staff truly sets this place apart. They’re friendly, attentive, and genuinely engaged with the guests. We sat at the bar and watched them go above and beyond—chatting with customers, ensuring service was on point, and crafting amazing drinks. One of the bartenders even shared a personal tip to make our dessert experience even better and gave us thoughtful recommendations for food to try next time.
While it’s definitely on the pricier side, the quality of the experience makes it worth it. I’ll absolutely be back and can’t wait to explore the full menu. If you’re looking for a place with great vibes and unforgettable desserts, Coltivare should be at the top of your list.

We had a very good experience at Coltivare. The food was truly excellent. Our orders of spaghetti, meatballs, grilled chicken, and roasted cauliflower were all expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. And the crostata for dessert was a good recommendation by our waiter.
The atmosphere was lively and vibrant, with a high energy that added to the excitement of our meal. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and provided great service throughout the evening.
Overall, Coltivare is a must-visit for anyone looking for delicious Italian cuisine and a fun, energetic dining experience.

Love Coltivare! Fresh herbs and lettuce from their garden… the dough and crust on the pizza is perfect. You can take your time dining in or order pickup. They made me an off the menu specialty cocktail I asked for — impressive collection of wines and liquor.

Love this place! I’ve been coming here since they opened almost a decade ago and every dish I’ve tried so far has been excellent. They have a great cocktail and mocktail menu as well. Parking can be a pain but I’ve always been able to find parking in the neighborhood nearby or across the street.

Let’s start with the positives: the location is absolutely beautiful. The atmosphere and aesthetics are stunning and create a lovely ambiance.
Now, onto my experience. Unfortunately, I have to say that for any Black person considering this restaurant, it may not feel like the place for us. This isn’t about the food, which is decent, but more about the non-welcoming vibe I felt while being there. It’s as though your presence is tolerated, not genuinely welcomed.
This feeling comes entirely from the staff, not the patrons. The way they interact with Black guests versus non-Black guests is noticeably different, and that disparity creates an uncomfortable dynamic.
Would I go back? Most likely not. Would I give it a second chance? Probably not. I don’t feel inclined to spend my money at a place where I’m made to feel like I’m merely tolerated.
