Great food, reasonably priced. Wonderful service Would definitely return. Ambiance is nice as well. read more

I wanted to stop for lunch before heading to the airport and they were closed even though Yelp says they are open.

Best Italian food in town, they have always had wonderful dishes & service. I always recommend this place to anyone new to town. The environment is very nice as well. read more

Great food and service m! It was our first time eating here and we were not disappointed. I had the spicy chicken parm. , the kids shared a chicken Alfredo and my husband had the Salmon. Everyone finished there plates! Definitely recommend! read more

Passing thru town been driving all day, couldn't wait to have dinner. Nice place, great service, and food was not bad. Chicken Parm and pasta was nice as was the side salad. The only area lacking was the bread which was dropped with liquid butter. Other than that enjoyed the meal. read more

I'd love to give this restaurant 4 stars but the fact that they made us pay/add a 2.5% "credit card" fee to our bill is despicable. We should not be obligated to pay for the owners business expenses. I understand times are tough (are they really though) we tipped our waiter 20% but common on...... To the owner, stop this practice. It will definitely pay for itself in the long run. Will not recommend your place to anyone because of your practice. P.S. the food was great. read more

Excellent, service calzones! Just a quick bite after driving right off 70 near Clarion.

This place has not improved at all in all the years it's been around. How is this place still in business when Enzo's is right down the street? Just because it's closer to some hotels? Or because people like mediocre food? Enzo's is authentic. This is not. Just look at the menus side by side read more

We had one of the worst dining experience. The food was so salty and I drunk so much water just to swallow the food. The service is terrible. The restaurant is short handed. Stuffs obviously need more training. We waited an hour to order our food. The waiter made mistakes on the bills twice. Would not recommend this place if you want a good dining experience. read more

First time to Citrola's with my family. It was fantastic! Our server was very pleasant and attentive. The appetizers were great (sausage & peppers and steamed mussels). Our entrees were so delicious nearly ate it all! My husband had eggplant parmigiana, he loved the crispness of the eggplant and the marinara sauce. Our mom has fettuccine Alfredo and said it was very good. My son had the spicy version of chicken parmigiana and loved it! I had chicken piccata and have to say it was made perfectly. Nice experience! read more

The spaghetti and meat ball dinner was just so-so taste-wise although the portion was large; garden salad was also meh. The real disappointment was our server, who was neither friendly nor attentive to our table but who seemed to lavish a lot of attention on several female-only tables. read more

Always great food. Solid Service too. A stand by for us as a Couple and a Family. Glad they make the Northside a solid choice often!! read more

Love this cute little place! It's tucked away in a little off to the side center. Mmmmmm... the garlic bread. I ate the whole loaf by myself. They said not carbs if it has butter and garlic right? :). I will definitely go back. read more

In town for business, looking for a quality meal. Citrola's was recommended and did not disappoint. Stromboli and bread pudding were fantastic, and Cheyenne was a wonderful waitress with great recommendations, service and a fun personality that made us feel very welcome. I'll be back! read more

I had take out on 12/31/18 Great story. checked out the hours. then dropped my bags at the hotel next door, returned the rental truck. too a taxi back to the hotel, then walked in the 29 degree weather the 300 feet to the restaurant. the sign was up closed NOOOOO! People eating cooks tossing pies and making food. I had to inquire I just had too! HI can I get some food. At first they were slow to respond the Chef from behind said take his order with much zeal. The waiter said let me take you to a table... No this is take out which pleased him much :)' I placed my order. I remarked the place was beautiful. another waitress said come. showed me the entire restaurant with much pride. The food was fanstisco! MEATY, cheesy, crust was dead on perfect even after a 300 foot walk at 11:10 pm and 29 degrees and an elevator ride. They were so considerate and kind. They made the end and beginning of my Year fantastic is that hotel room. read more

Wide menu but the food is barely passable. Even the pizza is below par - light on ingredients and those used are inferior. Acceptable facility. Generally friendly people. Tried it three times for convenience but will not drive to dine there. Pass. read more

We had a very nice lunch here. We had the steamed mussels - which were the low point of the meal. They were OK - but almost seemed either over cooked or cooked from frozen. But - all uphill from there! The garlic bread served with the mussels was wonderful - actually it was a bread basket for the table, but a good companion for the mussel broth. Clearly house made and nice and hot! I think more restaurants should realize that a good bread will buy them many, many points. Winner! I had the chicken Parmesan. The pasta was quite tasty - but the chicken cutlet was almost overgenerous -- nicely crusted and pan fried. I was happily stuffed. My husband had the sausage and pepper sandwich - which was even better. When it came out, it didn't look all that spectacular. But, that wonderful bread, great sausage, nicely grilled onions and peppers - it was A+. And, we even took home the little bit we couldn't eat - and it reheated perfectly. The inside is on the dark side (at least at lunch) and it was just a pretty place. I felt like you could have a date here, or you could bring your softball team here. It is a big enough venue to offer places for everyone. Service was excellent. Come for the bread and stay for the rest of the meal. You should be pretty happy! I know there are some less than wonderful reviews about this place here on Yelp. But they are mostly people who are ordering take out (from their car or town). This is actually a nice sit-down restaurant and does a nice job as such. I think I wouldn't complain if any of the other nice restaurants in town didn't do a bang up job as a take out. Because you serve pizza doesn't make you Dominos. read more

Weak structure from the ownership to the staff. Pouring and being charged full glasses of wine table side from a bottle, when there is already wine in the glass. Charging a service fee on the final bill for using a credit card rather than cash, yet no information about that service fee prior to. Please be aware, the service fee is also taxed. Recommend disputing charges with credit card company. read more

A good place for a little Italian. Nice atmosphere, good food and service. Check it out.

Good food and service. Nice quiet dining rom ambiance was spoiled by customer talking on speaker phone for over 5 minutes. Manager should have been present to see this and intervene. Take it outside or to the lobby. read more

Atmosphere was nice and relaxed. The waitress was not at the front and I waited a long time. A couple came in after me and when the waitress can she started talking to them. I ordered the fettucne Alfredo and salad. The bread finally came and it was very good. He fettucne also came and it was also very good. The food was very good. I just could not get service. I finally asked her when she was passing if we could simply skip the salad. She apologized and said sure. I asked about the desert menu and she came back and told me the desert options. There are several that are house made but I chose the red velvet cheesecake and it was clearly a boxed option served cold. read more

Great classic (American) Italian restaurant. We had to wait awhile because they were busy, but that's a good sign. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful, and the food was excellent. This restaurant does exactly what it tries to do, with great food and a very warm and friendly staff. We'll be back. read more

We have dined he on 4 different occasions. The food has always been outstanding. The service is great. Very friendly and helpful. The wife and I are both half Italian. I grew up with authentic Italian cooking and this restaurant definitely measures up. read more

Ok, this is the last time I'll give this place my business. It has always been sketchy service and understaffed, but the food is pretty good and I'd rather give my money to a local business than a chain. Tonight we came in. No hostess and a mostly full restaurant. There were several groups waiting to get on the wait list. After a good 15 minutes of no hostess, two groups walked out Finally a stressed out waitress came and took our names. A table opened up on the bar area as another couple entered to get on the list...a waiter took them and seated them in the bar while we watched in amazement. We spoke up and he barely apologized.....just then another group entered and he offered to seat them right away while half-heartedly still apologizing for having just done it once! Further, we discovered that a group of 5 just waltzed through the bar and seated themselves. I'm done, we left never to return. read more

We are traveling this weekend from California to our new home in Fort Collins. We had no choice to leave, our home in CA sold and a new home leased in Ft Collins. Day two of our trip and staying in the La Quinta here in GJ. Looking for food, the hotel staff suggested Citrola's. Of course with CV-19 we had to do take out. We ordered pizza and salad. The manager threw in an order of bruschetta and gave my wife a glass a wine while we waited. We ordered a medium pizza but the chef made us a large one. Great pizza, amazing service and attitudes. Thanks so much Citrola staff for a great welcome to our new home state, Colorado. read more

The chicken picatta I had was very good, but only one piece with lots of pasta. If it had two breast it would be perfect. Service was good and staff was friendly. read more

Food at Citrolas is excellent- as is the service. I highly recommend their menu// it is very diverse! It is not simply pizza and calzone- though those are excellent!! I had the chicken piccata. Salads very fresh, too. read more

Pasting thru Colorado and staying at the Doubletree in Grand Junction. Looked up on Yelp an Italian place. Citrola's popped up. Glad we went. I had the chicken parm which was huge. My hubby had the shrimp Diavlo. Both dishes were outstanding. If you're craving pasta then this is the place read more

We very much enjoyed our meal this evening! The garlic bread our server Josh brought us was over the top! Possibly the best we've ever eaten! Really hoping we find the home we want here in Grand Junction because Citrolas will be our spot for the Best Italian! ThNks again Josh! read more

Hands down the BEST Italian we've had in a VERY LONG TIME!! Our flight out of Montrose got canceled so we had to come to Grand Junction for the night to catch a flight the next day. We've never been to GJ so we had no idea where to eat and of course had no car to get around town since the airport placed us at the Grand Vista Hotel. We looked for somewhere close by (within walking distance) and this little hole in the wall called Citrola's popped up across the street from the hotel! I am not exaggerating when I tell you that this meal more than made up for the days headache of travel issues we experienced!! The food was so fresh, tasted homemade and the staff was incredible! We had the garlic mozzarella bread which was surprisingly amazing as well as the lobster ravioli and shrimp fettuccine alfredo! Both sauces tasted house made and the pasta itself was so fresh and cooked to perfection!!! I can't thank this place enough for such an incredible experience after the day we've had. Faith in humanity (and quality) restored! read more

A party of traveling motorcyclists, this restaurant was in walking distance from our hotel. We seated ourselves at the bar to start and were welcomed immediately by one of the owners behind the bar. Comfortable conversation, we remained at the bar & ordered a delicious dinner. From the antipastos plates, bruschetta & steamed mussels, to the veal dishes, ravioli, stuffed eggplant, spaghetti & meatballs, lemon chicken with rigatoni, stuffed meatballs, lasagna and the wonderful crusty garlic bread; we ate every last bite with contentment. Vowing to return, we did the following night & met the other owner. Another outstanding meal. Compliments to Christy & John, who know how to feed the hungry Italian way and to their genuine demeanor which made this by far our best eatery on our trip. read more

Ordered food to go and picked it up. For 19.50 the lasagna was bland and cold in the middle. Very disappointed.

Super nice staff. Clean restaurant. Food is pricey. Lunch $15 lasagna with garlic bread....no salad! For an Italian place they really need to work on their bread. It had over risen. Bread should be soft and chewy on the inside with crunchy crust! read more

Great Pizza and Salad . I like the Italian Entrees when I am very hungry otherwise this is my go to place for Pizza in Grand Junction.A good by the glass Wine Menu. read more

All the other reviews with low ratings are absolutely correct. The whole "ambiance" of this place is sad. The waiters are sad, the people inside are sad, the food is sad. The waiters/waitress don't pay attention, not attentive, could really care less if you eat with your hands. You have to ask for silverware, more water, & simple service. Sad to say but I'll chose the chain restaurant Olive Garden over this over priced warmed up food. The pasta is not authentic. The people who do say it's good, obviously have not been to great Italian restaurants. Don't waste your money here for you crappy service and depressing food. Another thing is if you are colored, don't expect the same treatment as white costumers. The people who are waiters and hostess here are white. read more

This review is a little long overdue because I've been here almost a year ago. My husband and I were driving back to Iowa from California and had to stop and get an airbnb in Grand Junction. Our airbnb host recommended we get some pizza in Citrola's because my husband was badly craving for a slice. It's a very nice restaurant and they gave us a great customer service even though we looked extra scruffy from the long drive. Anyway, I got spaghetti & meat balls and my hubby got basic pepperoni pizza. We both rated it 10 out of 10. Great food & service! We're even thinking about driving back just get the same thing lol read more

Had lunch here today. I got the chicken picatta. It was delicious and I could taste the lemon. The pasta was cooked quite nicely and the garlic bread was tasty as well. read more
