Colichia's Italian Village Menu

Colichia's Italian Village at 5601 E Parkway St in Groves serves traditional Italian-American comfort food in a cozy, old-school setting. The menu ranges from pasta, pizza, soups, salads, sandwiches, and fried appetizers to chicken, veal, seafood, and Angus steaks. Beer, wine, coffee, tea, and soft drinks complement the meal.

Chicken Parmigiana, Gnocchi Con Salsiccia, Lasagna, Fettuccine Alfredo, and Spaghetti with Meatballs are among the strongest choices for first-time diners. House specialties such as Chicken Marsala, Shrimp Scampi, and Ribeye provide more substantial dinner options.

Most pasta entrées fall around $20–$26, while steaks reach closer to $30, offering good value for hearty portions and traditional preparation. House marinara, Italian sausage, fresh mushrooms, garlic, Parmesan, Romano, mozzarella, and creamy sauces create rich, familiar flavors with a satisfying balance of tanginess, herbs, and savory depth.

Vegetarian-friendly choices include Eggplant Parmigiana, cheese ravioli, Fettuccine Alfredo, salads, and meat-free pizza combinations. Gluten-free dishes are not clearly identified. A dedicated kids menu offers spaghetti, Fettuccine Alfredo, and chicken nuggets.

Colichia's is best suited to lunch, dinner, family meals, date nights, and relaxed group gatherings rather than breakfast.

Menu Highlights

  • Gnocchi Con Salsiccia – Soft potato gnocchi is paired with crumbled Italian sausage in a spicy vodka-arrabbiata sauce and finished with Parmesan. The combination of tender pasta and bold sauce makes it one of the menu’s standout dishes.

  • Chicken Parmigiana – Breaded chicken breast is baked with marinara, Parmesan, and melted mozzarella. Crisp chicken, tangy tomato sauce, and creamy cheese create a classic Italian-American favorite.

  • Lasagna – Layers of pasta, meat, mozzarella, Pecorino Romano, and house marinara are baked until bubbling. Its rich layers and comforting texture make it a longtime signature choice.

  • Fettuccine Alfredo – Fettuccine is tossed in a buttery garlic cream sauce with Parmesan and Romano cheeses. Smooth, creamy, and indulgent, it remains one of the restaurant’s popular pasta dishes.

  • Shrimp Scampi – Shrimp is cooked in garlic, white wine, and butter with artichokes, then served over linguine. Tender seafood and bright garlic-wine flavors make it a refined alternative to heavier pasta dishes.

  • Chicken Marsala – Chicken breast is pan-sautéed with fresh mushrooms in a savory Marsala wine sauce. The tender chicken and earthy, slightly sweet sauce create a well-balanced entrée.

  • Garlic Bread – Crisp Italian bread is brushed with garlic-infused olive oil and finished with Parmesan. Its crunchy texture and aromatic flavor make it an ideal starter alongside the restaurant’s house marinara.
