Collettis Italian Restaurant - Harlingen (TX)

5 /5 Pete Smith: A wonderful experience. Amazing decor; great food. Elegant dining; authentic Italian dishes. Drink specials throughout the week 3 to 7. Entertainment some nights, including piano player/vocalist inside and bands outside on patio. Rich, majestic interior with beautiful hi-gloss tiles, burgundy curtains, substantial chandeliers, authentic looking gas-fired sconces, paintings and old-world photos. The spaghetti and meatballs was terrific as was the chicken saltimbocca. Italian almond orange cake made for a perfectly unique and satisfying dessert. Lemon drop cocktail was Thursdays drink special. Full menu including soups, salads, steaks, seafood, pastas, and especially Italian entrees. Lunch menu too. Authentic Italian desserts. Beautifully decorated inside and out on the patio as well, with old fashioned street lights and classy wrought iron tables and chairs. A must when visiting Harlingen. Family owned and operated.

5 /5 ZephyrDreams: First time visiting and we will definitely be back as this place is a hidden gem! My husband and I stopped by for dinner on a Friday. After reading the reviews, we made a reservation for 6:45pm but it wasnt necessary because the place wasnt busy yet. The restaurant is beautiful, service was quick, attentive, and thoughtful - and the food....oh, but the food is amazing! I started off taking pictures but as the meal progressed, I forgot all about it because I was super enjoying the meal. I ordered an Italian margarita (which was huge and only $6!) and my husband ordered a 5x5 draft beer. Both drinks were tasty and on point. We next ordered their goat cheese appetizer and it was an explosion of flavors! I didnt remember too take a pic until after wed finished. Next came the chicken saltimbocca that we shared because the portions are large! It was so very well prepared and positively delicious. We ended dinner by sharing a very generous portion of tiramisu, which is truly the best weve tasted. Please dont hesitate to go. This is a stellar establishment in every way!
