    Brian and I had not been here since 1998. We had forgotten what a great spot this is for delicious Italian food. We had a party of six. Thankfully, they take reservations. Food was delicious. I had spicy spaghetti. Brian had lasagna. The table was full of garlic bread, salad, and wine. What else could one ask for? Limoncello shots !!!! The flavors are orange, lemon, and lime. They are to die for! This was an anniversary so there was an abundance of carrot cake for us all to enjoy. We had a great time. They have a full bar and they do a deep pour on the wine. Bathrooms were clean. Parking is in a lot. We will be back much sooner this time!!

    Homemade Egg Noodles with Meatballs

    GeJo's Italian is a hidden gem that serves great Italian food with friendly service. We happened upon GeJo's while driving down the street and decided to give it a try. We tried the homemade egg noodles with meatballs and I was super excited to find a restaurant serving up these homemade noodles. The homemade noodles have a heartier texture to them and are thicker than traditional spaghetti. The meatball was excellent with a great texture, flavor, and size. With our pasta, we also got two side salads and it made a perfect meal. The side salads were done right with a nice combination of vegetables and the dressing was served on the side. We also do not want to forget giving a shout out to the garlic knots which were soft and covered with a generous portion of garlic butter. Some of the best garlic knots I have had in Denver. Our waiter was very friendly and helpful. We learned about the history of GeJo's, which is a great history. They were also attentive to the weather as we were sitting outside. A storm started to blow in so they shut down the sides of the outdoor eating section. In Colorado fashion, the storm moved through quickly and they reopened the sides as soon as the wind had passed.

    This was a regular for us when we lived in the area and is a perfect spot to grab dinner and/or a drink. They've got a pretty simple element but everything is great on it. Definitely get the carrot cake, if there is any. They run out. You can also get anchovies on your caesar salad if you ask. Lasagna and Geno's spaghetti special are 10/10

    Food is always good, great people, service can be slow when they are short staffed. So don't go if you are in a big hurry!

    Do they use fresh basil and are the entrees frozen or fresh?

    We went here for the first time yesterday. It's a very cute spot tucked away in the Highlands Ranch…read morearea with a deceptively large space. Loved the complimentary bubbles! We came for happy hour and tried the hamachi crudo, burrata, and crab cakes, which were all done really well. We'll definitely be back for dinner sometime!

    This was our first time here and came across it when in the area and search "wine bar". We saw…read morethere was a happy hour from 3-6 PM, so we stopped by. This is a cute place in a strip mall. We were immediately sat on the patio around 5:45 PM. We were greeted and given "welcome bubbles". What a nice touch. After about 5 minutes, we were finally given menus. Other people were sat around us, so we waited to ask for the happy hour menu. We ordered the chef's choice charcuterie, a cocktail, and a glass of wine. The drinks and board were yum, but not quite a wine bar as there were very limited option by the glass. Also, we had to ask for plates and silverware where this is a basic item. While deciding on dinner, we were approached a couple times by the 2 servers in the section. One was friendly, the other, not so much, rather indifferent and made us feel a little uncomfortable and not very welcome. This kind of set the tone for the rest of our night. We ordered the "family share" chateaubriand. We realize this is an expensive cut, but the portion is definitely not a sharing cut, around 4 oz. It is closer to a single entree. When it arrived, the plate was cold, like the meat was lukewarm and the cauliflower was ice cold. Again, we had to ask for silverware and plates for this "family style shareable" plate. We brought the cauliflower temperature up with the server and got new cauliflower after we were done with the rest of the meal. Also, I sat with an empty wine glass and no one stopped to ask if I needed another glass. When the servers did stop by, it was a short interaction and we never even had a chance to ask before they were already walking away. We saw so many people come in and out that they must be doing something right, but for us, our experience was mediocre. If our meal would have been the correct temperature (it was well prepared, just cold) and better execution on the service, we may have had a better experience.
