Bensonhurst Italian Plates and a Back Room
Brick oven pizza, pollo toscano and shrimp scampi in an airy Bensonhurst room with group space.
🍝 A Room for Dinner
Il Colosseo pairs classic Italian plates and pizza from a brick oven with a relaxed, airy dining room. The open setting gives dinner an unhurried feel, while the main dining area keeps the meal centered around the table. The restaurant dates to 1991 and remains part of the neighborhood dining scene.
Pollo toscano comes with spinach risotto and a balsamic glaze, and shrimp scampi is sautéed with garlic, white wine, and lemon. For a gathering that needs its own space, the back room accommodates group events apart from the main dining area.
Accommodating staff take a hands on approach, and a bartender is ready to guide a dinner order. That personal touch can make the menu easier to navigate, while familiar Italian plates give the meal a clear center. At 7704 18th Avenue, Il Colosseo balances an open dining room with a separate space for larger groups.
