    Rigatoncini

    We're visiting from Nebraska and ate here for dinner this evening. I can't say enough about how good our meal was. The crab cakes were the best I've ever had. My husband had the Wagyu flank steak, I had the Rigatoncini which was a delicious play on carbonara. Both dishes were so flavorful, perfectly seasoned - hats off to the chef! Our server Jordan was delightful and we really enjoyed her. We just might have to go back before we leave!

    I've been here many times over the years and have never been disappointed. The food, service and atmosphere are amazing and are always consistent. I attended a Celebration of Life recently for a dear friend and as usual, everything was incredible. 240 Union is his and his wife's favorite restaurant, we have dined here many times so it was a befitting tribute to this legend and family man!! Finally, I sincerely recommend this restaurant!!

    The tortilla soup

    I have lived my 240 Union for quite a long time, and I know several people who have reccomended this place to me throughout the years. I finally decided to come here during their happy hour, and I was very pleased. The interior is nice, and the staff are friendly and helpful. I decided to order an appetizer off their happy hour menu, the tortilla soup, and I tried their meatloaf as well. The tortilla soup has to be one of the best I've ever had the pleasure of eating. My only issue with this dish was that I ate it too fast! The meatloaf was equally tasty and flavorful as well as filling. I'm upset it took me so long to come here but I'm very happy I finally did, and you can bet I will be coming back again very soon!

    Diver scallops with corn risotto.

    Still one of the best, most reasonably priced white-tablecloth restaurants near Golden. Excellent food and service make this a must-try spot on your list! Had scallops and my honey has the crab cakes and we both went away pleased as punch.

    I tried 240 Union for the first time Friday night and found the experience to be delightful. Our server, Will, took great care of us. I tried the recommended mocktail (I'm pregnant) and it was not only tasty, but I really appreciated that it was served in a regular cocktail glass, which always makes me feel like I'm still at the party with everyone else. The warm focaccia bread and butter they serve to start is soooo yummy it would be easy to fill up on it. We had the calamari for a starter and while it was very good, my favorite part of the dish was the tempura jalapeños. I had the halibut special for my mains. It was good, but my husband's pistachio crusted pork chop was truly amazing. Finally, I had the chocolate tart as recommended by our waiter and it was fantastic. They either make them in house or outsource to a good bakery because it didn't taste of Cisco or Shamrock at all, as is the usual reason I skip dessert when I eat out. We'll definitely be back- my husband is looking forward to trying out their Sunday night prime rib special!

    Omg our server was the sweetest. Went to 240 Union for a work meeting and dinner. It was the best! Everything was delish! I'll be back 240 Union !! From the salad to the entree was delish. Ambiance was cute and quaint.

    Salmon Bowl

    Unexpected Gem - A Must-Visit! We flew into Denver for a concert at Red Rocks and dinner was honestly an afterthought. We found 240 Union, booked a reservation, and hoped for the best. What we got completely exceeded expectations. The food was amazing. We had the Wagyu steak and the Salmon Bowl--both were absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared. But honestly, the highlight of the night was the service. You don't find hospitality like this anymore. Our server, Micah, was fantastic--super knowledgeable, attentive, and professional. He helped guide us through the menu with thoughtful recommendations and even shared some great Red Rocks tips. He made us feel truly taken care of, which made our first night in Colorado that much better. Whether you're a local or just in town for a concert or weekend trip, 240 Union is a must-try. We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area!

    Facade

    Neither my friend nor I had been to 240 Union in many, many years, but we were in the neighborhood and decided to give it a try. Most restaurants that date to 1989 tend to be tired and set in the past. Not 240 Union (despite the least creative name ever)! The space looked great, the service was impeccable, and the food was delicious. I remember the small shopping strip that 240 Union anchors as very old and sad. It has been completely transformed with a huge investment by the landlord into a state-of-the-art destination with a steel facade and massive stone pillars. I was shocked. The interior of the restaurant is a huge space, but nicely divided into several private rooms, a large, rectangular bar set at an angle to the left of the entrance, and a huge, permanently enclosed front porch (this may be a new feature as I don't remember it). The main dining area is broken up by a series of large, polished hardwood dividers/sculptures reminiscent of the Rocky Mountains. There is a huge open kitchen at the back of the dining room. Service was friendly and very efficient. Our entrées came out in record time although we had arrived at the peak of lunchtime and the restaurant was almost half full. I had the farfalle with lobster, sweet corn, mascarpone, lemon zest and chives. The waiter came by to grind on fresh parmesan. The portion was large. Every item was cooked to perfection and the flavors were fantastic with a delicate, delicious sauce. My friend had "chicken tetrazzini" spaghetti with criminis, peas, sherry, parmesan, and breadcrumbs. He was equally complimentary about the quality of his dish. We both took home bulging boxes of leftovers. We really enjoyed ourselves and are eager to return. Do be aware that this space is all hard surfaces and can get very noisy with a large crowd. There is a nice concrete ramp leading straight from the parking lot to the front door for those who are handicapped. Unfortunately, things deteriorated when I attempted to eat my leftovers. For some inexplicable reason, 240 Union took my beautiful plate of food and jammed it into a Chinese restaurant-style cardboard box. These boxes are not recyclable due to the coated cardboard. I ended up with a congealed block of garbage that was impossible to reheat. What are these folks thinking? There are lots of recyclable or compostable take home containers in which you can nicely lay out a fancy plate of food. I was really looking forward to my leftovers. What a disappointment.

Was greeted by the owner, and just the fact she was there told me all I needed to know. Small but cozy space in a strip mall setting, I will probably do a kid free date night here once they get the alcohol going. I rarely find restaurants that exceed expectations on food, service and ambiance. This is one. I ordered the chicken piccata, works pizza, penne bolognese and salad. All were top notch, my kids actually cleaned their plates, and the pizza may be the best in town. When I reheated it, the crust was optimally crispy. I will eat here again, soon

They were pretty busy at around 5:30 on a Saturday evening and we were lucky enough to snag a table since they also take reservations and some were being held. The service was great, she gave us her recommendations and was very very patient while we all decided what plates to share. They give you some small plain bread knots when you sit down and had no problem, giving us a refill, even a side of marinara sauce for dipping when we asked. We started with the Caprese appetizer, which was fresh and delicious lightly, garnished with the balsamic glaze that sets the flavor off, not too overpowering. We shared three different pastas - the penne rustica, the shrimp and artichoke, and the pesto tortellini. The rustica was definitely the best, it had such a depth of flavor, and the sauce was a perfect rosé of creamy tomato, with the vegetables helping set off the textures and flavors even more. The other two pastas were good, but I wouldn't prioritize ordering them again, the pesto tortellini was so rich and creamy, but lacked any pesto flavor, which was surprising since it was vivid and green, and so visually appealing. The shrimp and artichoke was good, but didn't allow me, I felt like the artichoke needed more seasoning or something to bring it out a little in the sauce and pasta mix. The owner Nancy was such a sweetheart. She was so attentive and came over to us multiple times to make sure we had everything we needed. Next time I'll be trying the Bolognese :)

    What a great spot!…read more The place was banging out pizzas and there were tons of customers doing pick up orders. We grabbed a table and sat in the dining area. You don't have an assigned server but there are tons of staff roaming around making sure everyone has what they need. We got the focaccia and meat balls along with the wings as an appetizer. The bread was great and the red sauce and meatballs were delicious. I'd get that again for sure. The wings were huge! I liked the hot honey but what they called "buffalo" sauce wasn't for me. Nothing like any buffalo sauce I've ever had before, but they said it's new so I'm sure they're experimenting. We also got the sausage ricotta pizza and the sauce and topping were great. The bottom wasn't as crispy as I like, so ask for well done if want to eat it without a knife/fork. Really great spot and will absolutely be back and recommend to friends

    My experience at Pizzeria Leopold was a tale of two stories: great food and disappointing…read moreoperations. Let's start with the food because that's what will likely bring me back. I ordered the Sausage Ricky pizza and the Turkey Pesto sandwich with the focaccia bread upgrade. The focaccia was absolutely the right call. The sandwich was well balanced with quality ingredients, and the bread was easily the star of the meal. The Sausage Ricky was also better than expected. Between the slightly sweet sauce, purple onions, sausage, and ricotta, every ingredient had a purpose and the combination worked really well. At $24 for the pizza and $10 for the sandwich before the bread upgrade, I felt like the quality matched the price. Where things fell short was the pickup experience. I placed my order online at 3:26 PM with an estimated pickup time of 4:45 PM. A turnaround time of over an hour for a pizza and sandwich felt longer than expected. When I arrived around 4:50 PM, another customer was already waiting to pick up his order. He ended up waiting several minutes while staff tried to locate it. Despite several employees working behind the counter and the restaurant being only about half full, neither of us were acknowledged when we walked in. The lack of greeting or communication made the pickup process feel disorganized from the start. Eventually, the employee managing the register helped us, and to his credit, he was friendly and clearly doing his best to juggle multiple responsibilities. There was some confusion with my order at first, and I was initially presented with someone else's order and asked for payment until I showed my confirmation email. Overall, the food was good enough that I'm open to giving them another try. But the operational side of the experience didn't match the quality coming out of the kitchen.

You know the…read morefood's not great when everyone has full plates, and no one wants a box to take it home. From the moment we walked up, things felt off. It looked more like a Chinese restaurant than a pizza joint--red tablecloths, wine glasses, neon signs, a random Christmas tree, and tons of weird little decorations. We legit thought we were in the wrong spot. The menu was labeled as pizza and pasta, but there weren't many options for either. The combos were kind of all over the place--lamb, octopus, pork--so we tried to keep an open mind. But once the food came... yeah, it didn't get better. The pizza dough tasted frozen and was super soggy. The pasta dish was mostly meat with barely any pasta, and the meat wasn't even good. It just wasn't it. Wouldn't go back.

We tried the following this time: Burrata e Pomodori Luxuriously creamy Burrata cheese, complemented by fresh basil, juicy tomatoes, and a drizzle of olive oil. A simple yet divine start.

Branzino al Vino Bianco Pan-seared seabass with olives, butter, lemon, black risotto. 10" Margherita Mozzarella, fresh tomatoes, and basil on a perfectly crisp crust--classic simplicity done right. Mini Cannoli Homemade Ricotta Filing with mini Chocolate chip, stuffed with maraschino cherries, shell imported from Italy, and sprinkled with Powdered Sugar & Cinnamon. The favorite of the night was the Branzino. Definitely order this and their Burrata. The Mini Cannoli with the big flavor gets a two thumbs up as well.
