    20" pizza
    Emma B.

    The food was SO good. The 20" pizza was huge and so yummy. Side of marinera was 10/10 as well. Want to go back and try their pastas. The small Greek salad was also large & so yummy. Might order light cheese next time as it came with lots of feta. The house Italian dressing was perfect. We originally tried ordering online but the system couldn't confirm our order so I had to call in which was fine and less expensive as well for pick up! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is small but there are a few tables. It was pretty warm in there so unsure if I would want to go in and sit but we will be back for takeout for sure![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Garlic Knots
    Mai L.

    I ordered DoorDash so I didn't go to the space to see the actual restaurant. I ordered the clams Vongole, Pomodoro pasta, and garlic knots. I like for both pastas - you can order between 3 types of pasta for your dish. Garlic knots were good! I like the sauce it came with which I believe is the same as the pomodoro sauce. I enjoyed my dish - lots of clams and flavor. Pasta was cooked perfectly!

    My fiancé took me here on a date (he's Italian) and was not disappointed! It's exceptional service and delicious food was well worth the drive. They also have quite the wine bottle selection and [[HIGHLIGHT]]you'll feel right at home when you walk in![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Amazing food!! The service was amazing. Felt very welcoming and great ambiance. If you're in Denver you should definitely visit!!

    First time here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was very cozy and welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It smelled amazing when I first stepped in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was busy as it was a Friday night and there was a small wait, but totally worth it! The cheesy garlic bread was too good that I forgot to take a picture, but everything tasted delicious. Took some desserts to go as we were full, but everything tasted phenomenal. Will come again!

    Simply spectacular Italian dining. Easily the best in Denver... The tortellini all a vodka and linguini with clams were perfect, and the garlic knots are truly divine!

    Chicken Parmesan

    Best Italian restaurant in Denver. Portions are huge. Service is great. We had a group of 35 and they accommodated us in under an hour.

    Spinach Stromboli is amazing. Pizza and wings are great. Don't miss the lobster tail for dessert! Ordered for poker night and food got high marks.

I feel fortunate because read other reviews here that said it took 2 months to secure a Monday reservation. I recently decided that I am not going to live a gluten free lifestyle even if my 4th cousin from 23andme suggested that everyone on earth is gluten intolerant and there is a global conspiracy to poison us all with gluten ataxia. Starting with the bread, we were already impressed. The texture was perfect, crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside. There was another review that said it's not that great. Not sure what that persons problem is. I didn't know what to order so got the pasta rustica, a little marinara some ricotta. I understand from the other reviews that this is American Italian food but worked for me. My partner enjoyed the steak/Gorgonzola pasta. That was tasty too, I had the leftovers the next day!

I learned the 2nd floor is for larger groups accessible only by stairs. I sat in the upstairs area which was not ideal being situated between the kitchen and he dishwashing room. My server, Janee introduced herself. She was formely with Ollie & Parks, their sister restaurant that closed in Match when an U-Haul truck hit the building. I started with an Aperol Spritz for $14. Then the Caprese Insalata. Plenty of tomatoes with thick slices of burrata all drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette. Janee said Monday's are Pasta night where all pasta dishes normally $22 are $11.99; So I got the Fettuccine Carbonara with shrimp. Every table gets Foccacia with an olive oil & herb dip. But it was not Foccacia. On Pasta night you also get a Caesar salad. I added a glass of Agricola Punica "Samas" from the Italian island of Sardinia. A great smooth white Chardonnay & Vermentino blend for pasta. The fettuccine was correctly made with a cream sauce, prosciutto and peas. I got 5 large tail-on shrimps. They bring out a large bowl of grated parmesan cheese to add to your pasta. A nice touch. For dessert, I got the Limoncello cake with a 2nd glass of wine. But a weird issue popped up with the bill. Every food item was higher than the menu price. I asked Janee. She said their new POS software added in the card interchange fee which is 3%. But then I noticed the 9.15% sales tax was on the gross amount, not the actual food & drink amount. So they are overpaying sales tax which is lost revenue. I mentioned that to Janee. A different person said he would adjust the bill for the 3% fee. A glitch that needs to be remedied. Overall, the food & service were good. They offer a cash amount due for less $$ but still incorrect.

We normally get the Piatti Di Cicchetti (olives, pickled veggies, and almonds), Piatti Di Salumi (prosciutto, salame, coppa), and the Burrata. They all complement each other SO WELL. Pair that with a white wine and you got yourself a time. The 2 course offering for lunch is also phenomenal. I got the Insalata Mista (lettuce, shallot, reggiano) and it's a decent sized salad and very tasty. The Mafaldine (lamb ragu, pecorino romano) is to die for.

We were seated at the front by the window, which was nice. It did get a little hot in the restaurant as more people arrived, since it has been unusually warm in Denver this season. We split six plates and were stuffed by the time the celebratory dessert arrived. We started with the burrata, which paired well with apple butter and pickled apples. The arancini was a fusion of Indian spiced cauliflower with mint-cilantro yogurt raita. My favorite of the Spuntini dishes was the Granchio--jumbo lump crab served over a crispy potato cake with butternut squash and a perfect 63 ° egg. We split two Primi dishes: their special of the day pasta, and the Cappellini Aglio e Olio. The Cappellini was amazing--a perfect blend of Indian spices, breadcrumbs, and another 63 ° egg. Yum.

A full bodied red wine for porchetta. I decided to treat myself with the Amaro cheesecake and a pour of Lucano Anniversarie, $12 each. Nice cheesecake with chocolate slab on top. The Amaro was not bitter. Including tax & 20% tip, it came to $105. The food was not rushed. The restaurant steadily filled up by 630pm.

Think of a ravioli pouch, but smaller and better, filled with meat, sitting in a bed of the most perfectly browned brown butter with thick parmesan shaves on top. You think it's over, and then your server comes and pours a sweet yet vinegary reduction on top. I'm actively eating it for breakfast as I write this. Insane. Will be thinking about this for a few days. The others in the group got the Spicy Lobster Rigatoni Alla Vodka, which is one of their most popular dishes. It was good (we swapped bites), but mine was better. For the table we split a Caesar (which I do wish had more dressing, but I love a dressing so that could just be me), filet mignon meatballs (4 in an order which was perfect for our group of 4), and the tuna and avocado carpaccio. Favorites were the meat and fish. We used the bread to sop up the meat sauce at the end. Lastly, the Chicken Parm Pizza was ordered for the table. Basically, the "crust" of the pizza is chicken parm. I think it's a little expensive for what it was, but I'm glad I got to try it with a bigger group. Can't imagine reordering it, solely for the size and cost, but it was a unique food experience. Drinks at the table included a Barbera, a Chardonnay, a Sangria, and a Spritz. All good. Overall, service was great, restaurant is beautiful, dishware is pretty, and vibes are sophisticated yet unpretentious. You will be walking 40 days and 40 nights to the bathroom though, which is outside the restaurant, through the hotel, down the stairs, and through the hallway. Can't wait to return!!!
