Never going back. I will never go back here. We went to celebrate a friend's birthday tonight and were looking forward to some delicious drinks and snacks. Initially the server treated us like she was doing us a huge a favor by coming by out table and taking our order. Eventually our freinds arrived and it seemed like all was well. After the food arrived a few of us stepped outside to see a friends dog, and the overly-hip waitress told the remaining party at the table that we had "walked out on the bill" and they would have to pay for it. For a place that has "be patient" posted all over the bar, including the menus, I would think the staff might follow their own advice. I approached the server and told her I was sorry she had the impression we had left and was responded to with a smarmy smirk. It is not worth going here. There is nothing special about being treated like you are in the way and untrustworthy.…
collosso is awesome.
Collosso is one of my favorite restaurants in Portland!
It does take a while to get your food, but it's totally worth it-- the waitress told me everything is made from scratch.
I don't understand why everyone thinks it's dirty there, maybe because it's so dark? Come on, the darkness is part of what makes it so cool (and romantic).
I love how it feels like an authentic European restaurant. The service isn't overdone and fake like most nice restaurants in town. My waitress got us what we needed and didn't come around every few minutes bothering us. She wasn't wearing a fake smile or trying to get us to order more stuff.
I think the only reason other reviewers have had a problem with this place is that they really just wanted to eat at the Portland City Grill, where the food is all pre-made, the servers only care about you because they want to make money off of you, and the place is brand new and shiny but seriously lacking any character.…
Not worth the one star required for a review. Too bad you can't give zero stars because this place deserves it. It's been a while since I've been to Colosso and I'm not sure when new management took over but it is definitely not the cute place I remember. I mean really, am I remembering the right place? This place is seriously dirty. The staff here is pretty much the bad side of Portland, lazy and dirty. We went in and didn't get service for a while. If it wasn't for the other customer we would've thought they were closed. The food was just ok but the waitress was so deplorable and so disinterested in serving customers it really makes you forget 'just ok' food. At first I thought I just had one bad experience here but then I talked to some people about it and read the other reviews on here and I know it's not just me. There are so many awesome (and clean) places in town I don't understand why anyone would go here a second time - unless you're one of the staff members that just go to hang out instead of work.…
They don't accept restaurant(dot)com coupons anymore!!!.
We went to Collosso for dinner tonight and had a horrible experience. Apparently it's under new management and short story don't bother going.
We walked in and waited to be seated, but noone ever came to help us. The waitress wasn't friendly, no one ever asked us if we wanted a second drink. The tables are indeed sticky, the oil and vinegar containers had a filthy layer of cheesy (hopefully) something or another on them. We sat with napkins crumpled on our plates trying to make eye contact and finally had to get up and ask for the check.
We had (still have I guess) a Restaurant(dot)com coupon for the place. The new owner doesn't accept them. We made a stink, I gave him the option to either accept it or lose a customer. He said no.
To top it all off the menu has changed significanlty and the food wasn't even that great.…
We Agree, What Happened to Collosso?. We have stopped by Collosso on our way to Winterhawks games over the last couple of years and have noticed a definite declilne in service, and cleanliness. The salt, pepper, oil and vinegar shakers were absolutely grimey. Since the restaurant just opened at 5 p.m. and we were the 1st diners at the table, it could not have been the last customers. The table was sticky and dirty. Service was sloooooow. The place has always been dark, but we could not help feel the place was filthy because of the impression left at our table. We do not plan to go back for quite some time, if ever.…
