Coletta Italian, Memphis, TN

 Colettas, South Parkway

MAP 

Coletta's is a long time Italian restaurant in Memphis with two locations. I went to the older location on South Parkway just east of I-240. I had never been to this location before this trip.

Honestly, I wasn't all that impressed. The service was good but the food wasn't much more than average. I ordered lasagna and spaghetti and an appetizer of fried ravioli. The entree was decent but the ravioli was pretty bland.

I'm not saying I won't go back but I'll try something different if I do. My total was about $36 including a drink, tax, and tip so the prices aren't bad. I know other folks that have been there and said it's really good.

Mitchell's is a small breakfast and lunch restaurant in West Memphis basically at the corner of East Broadway Boulevard and Thompson Avenue a few blocks east of I-40. I was passing through West Memphis on the way to Missouri and went there a couple of days ago based on reviews I saw on the internet, and it was fantastic!

The owner was there (I assume he works there every day) and he was a really nice guy. He told me about his family and how all the items on the menu are named after his family members.

I ordered the Kay's Three Alarm burrito and it was great! I will definitely be back when I can. Unfortunately I don't get over to West Memphis very often but it's on my list now!

The prices were pretty good as well. My total was just under $20 including the meal, a drink, tax, and a drink.
