We’ve lived in Fairford 9 years and realised on visiting Colosseo that we’d made a mistake by not visiting before… fantastic food, a relaxed atmosphere and the best service. Absolutely nothing to fault and everyone with us aged 6-69 enjoyed their meal. A really lovely place and we can’t wait to come back.

After reading the reviews our expectations were high. Unfortunately after the starters we were disappointed in the lasagna and garlic bread they both had a sweet taste to them. This spoilt our enjoyment and we left a substantial amount. This may be due to the recipe the restaurant use but it was not to our taste. Such a shame

Family birthday meal for 11 people (aged 13-76). delicious food, great service, fabulous atmosphere and singing for the birthday girl!

Visited here last night as we were staying opposite, good choice as the food was excellent, our young friendly waitress came over and took our order, brucetta and calamari for starters and seafood linguine and a first in an Italian for me, of duck and porcini mushroom linguini, all where excellent all washed down with a very good bottle merlot, pudding ordered of cheesecake and creme brulee, which again whee delicious, my wife said the creme brulee was the nicest she'd had. So fantastic food and excellent service and very good value for money, what's not to like, highly recommended you try here if your around Fairford.

Extraordinary Sunday, at the home of Chef Mimmo Pipitone, Colosseo Restaurant in the heart of Fairford, England. A true culinary experience of flavors, smells and textures of the cuisine of Sicily, Italy and all its influences throughout history. Special thanks to my good friends, Zeus and Manni for the invitation and connecting us with a wonderful chef who opens the door to the flavors of Sicily.

Excellent restaurant with a great choice of dishes and very good service. Compliments to the chef on the beef carpaccio, it was divine! Just like in Italy ❤️

This was perfect for a family dinner on our holiday in the Cotswolds. Our waiter Joyce was a delight and made a real effort with our toddler, which is always appreciated. The food was excellent and served quickly. I particularly liked to mushroom gnocchi. If we're ever back in the area, I would certainly go again.
Joyce and Toto were both extremely gracious and the food was to die for.We had Spaghetti bolognaise and filler Stroganoff. Lovely atmosphere.

Dropping in on the spur of the moment we found very friendly staff providing immaculate service and coping without blinking with my wife being dairy-free. . The food was excellent including the best risotto marinara I have ever eaten, followed by a top-notch tiramisu. Hope to go back soon!

We had a lovely family meal here. The service was friendly and the portions and wine by the glass were generous. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for an authentic Italian in the area.

Had a lovely 3 course meal in a standout restaurant. Service from start to finish was excellent with us being made to feel warmly welcomed by Joyce. Food was presented beautifully and delicious (deserts in pics) . Definitely one of the best Italian meals I've had in years. I'd certainly not hesitate to visit again when next in the area. Thanks guys.

We chose this restaurant based on the great reviews and were not disappointed. We were welcomed warmly by front of house staff and received great customer service throughout our evening. The food was delicious too - we both opted for pasta dishes and they were full of flavour. Thank you :)
