We had the Wednesday Date Night Special, which is 2 salads, 2 entrées a bottle of wine and dessert. We had the stuffed shells and sweet potato gnocchi. Both entrées were wonderful and the cannoli for dessert was terrific. read more

Fabulous hand crafted Italian food for a great price. I had the eggplant and spaghetti. The handmade spaghetti was amazing and the eggplant was cooked to perfection. No overly breaded oil pile here, only savory, tender, tasty eggplant. I don't know if I've ever had a reason to say so many good things about an eggplant before! Yum! The sauces were smooth yet both robust and hearty as far as flavor is concerned ;-) read more

Really delicious and cute place for lunch, Especially with my friend who can't eat gluten! My gluten free friend had an amazing sandwich and she said the GF bread was great. And I couldn't get enough of my creamy pesto fettuccine. Added bonus:order the garlic bread! The prices were a little high for lunch, but the Quality of the food was outstanding. read more

Great little Italian spot in denver. I eat here regularly and always have had a great meal. Multiple good sandwiches and house made pastas. Meals are prepared to order with great fresh ingredients!!! read more

I work down the street from this place and love their salads. Friendly staff and tasty food!

Had the chicken pesto sandwich for $8 because it's Thursday! This sandwich was amazing full of flavor and just enough to fill me up. I definitely need to come again to try their homemade pasta. read more

Easy delivery and very delicious! OK I've only eaten there one time so far. I just moved into the neighborhood and wanted some good food delivered(not just pizza again) I found DiFrancos on Yelp, ordered, and was eating my delish pasta about 30 minutes later. Was so pleased with everything!! The portions could be a little bigger (or maybe I was just so hungry and it tasted so good that there was nothing left) but the flavor and quality were incredible! I'll definitely be ordering from them again!! And they throw in garlic bread for only a dollar more totally worth it I will be getting that every time!!! read more

Can't get in touch with restaurant. Ordered on Grubhub. Chick parm sandwich has two small circles of unmelted chicken. The side salad is just straight arugula and oil. Side chicken cutlets for $7 was one think pretty much uncooked piece of chicken. I hate resorting to yelp but restaurant number goes straight to a voice mail. Now I'm starving and down $30. read more

This is the first time I've ever felt inclined to pull out my phone at the restaurant and write a review.... the food WAS THAT GOOD. I had the sweet pea ravioli and it literally blew my mind. My boyfriend had the spaghetti and meatballs and didn't talk the entire meal because he was so focused on eating! I'm going back up for dessert now. Don't let the place fool you- it doesn't look like much but it was the BEST meal I've had in Denver! read more

Pasta the way it should be! Everything cooked al dente. Sauces were incredible. Service spot on as well.

The best red pasta sauce I have ever had. The lunch special of ricotta shells was amazing!

Service is outstanding. I've never had better service in all of Denver. Their pasta is outstanding and their gluten free pasta is fantastic. My new go for pasta and Italian. read more

Our first time here and it was awesome. I loved the salad dressing so much I had to buy some! Freshly made pasta is displayed for choosing. It's as good as it gets. read more

awesome italian food. love this friendly hole in the wall. their cheap italian date night (wednesday nights includes 2 entrees, 2 house salads, 2 cannoli, + a bottle of wine for $50) is affordable and delicious. staff is super friendly. highly recommend it if you're looking to support local biz. read more

There is no better Italian in all of Denver. One of the few places you can buy actual fresh made pasta. The chicken parm is a personal favorite but literally everything here is perfect. read more

DiFrancos has been one of our favorite hidden gems in Denver for a few years now. The food is incredible and the service is even more amazing!! My boyfriend and I ate here the other day and he forgot his wallet. Charlie was a gracious host and let us enjoy our lunch and come back later to pay. Couldn't be a better experience! Thank you so much Charlie! read more

This place is a GEM. I had the pesto ravioli, my lunch date had the penne with vodka sauce. Both were awesome. As was the breaded chicken breast we ordered to add a little protein to our lunch. Best thing on the menu - the thyme infused lemonade. And, there's free parking in the garage right next door. So, an all around success for lunch. read more

Great food, I got breakfast sandwiches and Ryan was super nice and the sandwiches were amazing. I'm going back now to get either chicken parm sandwich or the meatball sub, not sure. read more

I'm addicted to the prosciutto sandwich. It's criminally good!! So fresh and flavorful! Also tried the key lime pie today. Glorious. I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. read more

Authentic, homemade italian pasta. Actually first time I've ever had homemade pasta, and yes - it is fabulous. It's an eclectic deli with exquisite cuisine bursting with robust flavors. Staff is exceptionally friendly. read more

Good food, great location. I like the Vodka penne pasta and salad that I ordered. The restaurant is a little small, so I think the next time I might plan on take-out. Service was good but did have to wait for a while in line to order our food. I would recommend this restaurant if you are looking for a option better than a chain restaurant (like "Noodles") - but it does have a similar ambiance. read more

Best Italian I've had. Fresh, balanced. Try the angel hair with tomato sauce or the chicken parm. guaranteed to make you want to come back.

Friendly staff and tasty food, but really poor ambiance. Its never a good sign when your partner has to put on her coat. It was chilly, and even the top of our table was cold. I understand the intent of the big community table, but the space could have been arranged much better to create some ambiance/atmosphere to match the food. Speaking of the food, it was delicious. Polenta with mushrooms, onion, and arugala. The mushrooms were a little too sweet, but a good dish, almost a meal in itself. The gnochi with braiser lamb was great. I would have liked a little more meat, but the flavor was great. The bread is good, and the garlic bread was nice too. We'll go back, but for takeout so we dont have to eat with our coats on. read more

Just had the $10 sausage sub and salad special. Wow just incredible! Best sausage sub I've ever had easily. It had a delicious cheese and green apple slaw on it and the bread tasted like it was just made. The salad was fresh and delicious greens with no sign of iceberg lettuce anywhere. I've had the chicken parm sub as well which was also excellent. Highly recommend this place. read more

Quick, inexpensive, and delicious! Surprisingly their gluten free pasta is even yummy. This place is my favorite!

I think that was the best delivery meal I've ever had. My expectations were pretty low, sure. Took less than an hour and all the food was tasty and fresh. The bread did not appear to have been anywhere near a microwave. Highly recommend the meatball sandwich! read more

Difrancos is a cute little Italian place in the Beauvallon building on Lincoln street. They make all of their food from scratch with all natural ingredients and even sell fresh sausages, pasta and sauces for you to take home. I got the meatball sandwich and it was delicious! Their iced tea is also unique and amazing. The inly downside is that's it's a little pricey, but I feel like it's worth it so I will definitely be coming back soon! read more

Food was beyond delicious. It was like your mom made you a fresh plate of food. meat was so well marinated and pasta was so light!I had the chicken cutlet and the fettucine. First time in Denver and I am so glad I found this cool place. Try the Boylan soda too, it's a colorado native soda company! Hands down this is the place to get an Italian dinner. read more

Difranco’s - Italian Near Me - Denver, Colorado

DiFranco's catered an event at Glamour Bar Denver at the Beauvallon tonight and the food was outstanding. From the prosciutto to the salami, the pepperoncini, the cheese and the bread to the stuffed mushrooms and on to the desserts, everything was beautifully presented, full of flavor, and a perfect complement to a terrific evening. It's easy for restaurants to put their catering on the back burner, but that wasn't the case here at all. Well done! read more

Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. Charlie walked us through the menu & suggested two amazing dishes as well as a bottle of wine. Every bite was better than the last. The ambiance, staff, food & drinks were amazing. Will definitely be back. read more

Great food, even better service. Small location, but a good amount of tables. Make a left into the parking lot for free garage parking.

Are you kidding me?? I can only imagine that's the kind of spaghetti & meatball they'll serve in heaven. My taste buds have never been happier. I can't wait to try every item on the menu! read more

The new lasagna on the seasonal menu is wonderful! It's super cheesy and pesto-y, and it just melts in your mouth. The spicy Italian sausage has a bit of a kick for it, so it might not be a good choice for sensitive palates, but it goes very well with everything else in the lasagna. read more

My favorite spot in Denver. Fresh pasta! Classic meatballs which are not easy to find. Great for takeout although they do have seating. Desserts are delicious as is their deli display of fresh pastas you can take home. I also like the chicken parm sandwich. They have different specials on different days but honestly I always just get the spaghetti and meatball. The staff is great. Charlie is awesome. read more

Love this place. It's been a good neighborhood spot for my husband and I. The date night deal is unreal! The only qualm I have is it closes a bit early but other than that, this place is fire. read more

I do believe that this is some of the best Italian in Denver. The owner Ryan is very intent on having the best quality foods. They have seasonal menus, that keep you wanting more! read more

We've been to DiFranco's many times, and I've also had them cater events for my business. The food is always fresh and delicious, and the people are the kind of people you want to do business with! I can't recommend them enough! read more

I can't believe it took us so long to go here. I looked for it 1/2 dozen times the last couple years....careful, you go right by it quickly. Finally I see why I've been hearing the name. The freshest, simple awesome Italian you can get. OMG I am speechless. read more

Hands down the best Italian food in Denver! The food is prepared fresh and tastes absolutely amazing! Such a great addition to the Beauvallon! read more

SO FRESH! Difranco's has made me seriously reconsider my relationship with Italin food...we're serious now (insert heart emoticon here) I am a huge fan of the proscuttio and egg sandwich, and their ricotta cookies can and should be bought in quantities of 5 or more. Their butternut squash ravioli is just as good as the stuff I had in New York this summer :) read more
