Coltivare

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.

My wife & I finished a Christmas program and found Coltivare through our phone search. Upon entry, it was cozy & warm as David (manager) kindly greeted us. With a little wait, we were seated… Jose served us this evening and had GREAT suggestions to the menu. With his suggestion, we tried the Chicken Prosciutto Pizza BUT added Burrata cheese. We also ordered the Trout Dip which was a fairly new menu item. With very little wait, we started with the trout dip and it was FANTASTIC! Light and fresh and a great starter. Not too much later, we got our “special” pizza - WOW! The balance of savory flavors with the added cheese was AMAZING!!! We finished the evening with their popular rum cake dessert - YUM! Though the food was spectacular, it was not the star(s) of the dinner. It was the level of service and attention from David & Jose. Jose was always on point with timing on drink refills and ensuring our food was perfect. David constantly scans the restaurant and his attentiveness to all customers was noticed by us & other tables with the fine details & quality assurance. Needless to say, we will be visiting and sharing this place often. We highly recommend Coltivare and make sure you ask for David & Jose - they got you covered…

We didn’t really want any more Tex-Mex, so decided to have pizza. Because we didn’t have a reservation, we were seated in the garden. The garden is lovely and peaceful, and when we left the restaurant, I was oh-so-happy we didn’t sit in the main restaurant, which was very loud and noisy. We shared the spinach salad, which was one of the best salads I’ve had. It was a nice size portion for sharing. We also shared the pepperoni pizza with arugula, which had house-made pepperoni. Again, it was one of the best pizzas we had in a long time. The service was just average, though friendly. Would definitely return to try other items on the menu. Note: the second night we went our server was friendly and attentive and 180 degrees from the server the first night. However, the host informed us when we arrived at 5:30 that "we would have to be out by 7:15." Who says that to a guest? And who takes nearly two hours to eat pizza? When we went to the garden, there was absolutely no one else there. As they started to seat other (younger) customers in the garden, I wondered whether they were given the "7:15 banishment" speech.

We had a wonderful dinner there last night. It was surprising to see so many families with young children but the crowd was eclectic and interesting. Service was friendly and attentive and our food, delish. My partner had the duck leg and he loved it. I had the meatballs and a pizza and both were outstanding. We will definitely go back to try other things. Not a better recommendation than that!
