Colombo’s Italian Steakhouse & Jazz Club in Eagle Rock blends old-school charm with a hearty red-sauce menu, live jazz nights, and a touch of nostalgia.
"Colombo’s has the feel of a crusty highway lounge you'd stop at during a road trip across the country, and we mean that in the most charming sense possible. This Eagle Rock classic is a place where complimentary garlic bread hits the table before your butt touches the booth and everyone hunched at the bar has a great story involving Gene Simmons. The correct order here goes like this: “Sam’s Hand-Rolled” Meat Lasagna, a perfectly breaded chicken parmesan, and exactly one martini. Any more gin than that, and you’ll probably be waking up somewhere off the interstate—with a good story, no doubt." - brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder
"With wood-paneled walls and the occasional jazz pianist in the corner, this old-school Italian spot in Eagle Rock feels like a dusty highway lounge somewhere outside of Modesto. In other words, the kind of place where complimentary refills of table bread are practically law. But unlimited garlic bread? That takes things up a notch—especially when the bread is nicely golden and crunchy outside with a buttery interior that’s soft but never soggy." - brant cox

"For 70 years, Colombo’s in Eagle Rock continues to check every old-school Italian box, with throwback photos of movie stars, white tablecloths, deep red leather booths, and a red sauce-heavy menu that doesn’t skimp on basics like chicken Parm, pasta, and meatballs. Fans of HBO Max’s Barry will also recognize the restaurant from Season 1, Episode 4." - Eater Staff, Mona Holmes
"Colombo’s in Eagle Rock checks every old-school Italian box there is, featuring throwback photos of bygone stars, white tablecloths, deep red booths, and a red sauce-heavy menu that doesn’t skip on basics like chicken Parm, pasta, and meatballs. The place does deviate in its own delightful ways at times, too, with a breakfast menu and TVs at the bar, for example." - Eater Staff
