Il Colosseo

We came here too celebrate the hubbies birthday. Tomi made us welcome straight away. He is a Italian gentleman with a great sense of humour who made the evening go with a laugh and smile. Krisika worked hard as our initial server and was extremely pleasant. The food was of excellent quality and I had the Penne Alla Caligola as a main and the tomatoe sauce had fresh rosemary in which made it taste not only devine but also gave ita wholsolme flavour not encountered in restaurant first for a while Before we arrived the staff were obliging in letting my facmily Decorate the tables before hand with birthday balloons etc All in all a really nice place to eat.

The staff are mostly all Italian so you know it's at least ticked the authenticity box. Food was good, staff are friendly, dessert gets brought over on a little cart. Farnborough is the true home from home for Italian cuisine, I've always said that.

I wanted some authetic italian food and was lucky to find this so close to our new home. For starters I had the calamari which they were not stingy in serving. I did find it slightly chewwy. I ordered the spaghetti fruit of the sea. It was supposed to come in a tomato sauce but I requested a cream sauce and they did not disappoint. The portion was quite big. I was given a good serving of clams, mussels, squid and shrimp. The taste was phenomenal. I had ordered an apple juice but found there were lipstick marks on the glass which didn't belong to me. The waiter was very polite and accommodating. It did take a while to put in our food order but there was only 1 waiter for what looked like a busy Monday evening.
