Review of Calamari at Coletta by iszy

These were sooo yummy! I've never had squid calamari before, but these fried oyster mushroom rings were perfect deep fried goodness! They were fresh out of the fryer and amazing with some lemon squeezed over them. They were also really great in the lemon parsley sauce that was served with them. The marinara was nice too, but I liked the fresh citrus to balance the fried batter. @jonok says they're way better than squid calamari because they don't have that weird chewy texture! This starter is $17.

Coletta is owned by the same people behind Anixi, Beyond Sushi, and Willow. It's more on the fine dining end, but not as fancy and expensive as Anixi. Coletta focuses more on Italian dishes.
