I'm a local at Colosseo. It's great! They had to expand because they are so busy. Outdoor terrace available too. The atmosphere is very social and busy, (not romantic), however, the food is excellent. They also do deliveries! The best pizza in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Try the grilled prawns or their baguette pizza's.
