    Margarita Pizza and a cheap ass cocktail
    Jimmy W.

    Seriously I'm a Chicago guy and if a brand is gonna eff up stuff outside of Chicago , don't do it! If I came into this spot having never been to Chicago Giordanos - I would NEVER visit the mother ship ! This place sucks on so many levels ! First off the service is so bad it's hilarious , second the food ( I had a margarita pizza is so bad , it make frozen pizza at the grocery store taste delicious ) if you're in Denver and have any respect for yourself , you won't eat here ! Giordanos, do better and stop being so stupid

    Meat and more meat

    I couldn't finish 2 slices the pizza was so big! The deep dish pizza is so delicious. The Meat & More Meat had me in meat sweats. So worth it. So delicious. Always return any chance I get.

    Cheesy Garlic Bread
    Elizabeth C.

    We had a reservation for 4 tonight but 2 of us couldn't make it. No problem for the hostess, sweetheart. We asked to be seated so we could see the tv because the World Cup gane was on. Go USA! Our server, Alex was very informative and welcoming. She got out Sri is right away and let us habve some time to look over the menu. We ordered an apple cider mule and an iced tea. My friend loved her mule. For our food we ordered the cheesy garlic bread, mozzarella triangles, Italiano sald, and the chopped salad with chicken. Everything was good but I think the cheesy bread could have been cheeeier. Alex was attentive to our needs and refilled drinks without asking. We wil definitely be back to try their pizza and happy hour.

    I had a Little Italy Ranch Salad and my only concern was that the grilled chicken was cold. I assumed it would be freshly grilled. The cheesy garlic bread was very good as a side to the salad!

    Food: 5 Customer Service: 5 Ambience: N/A Cleanliness: 5 Reservations: NA This restaurant is situated in the heart of the downtown area in Denver, Colorado in the pedestrian area. This chain restaurant's menu offers a wide variety of delicious and mouthwatering starters and main courses that will appeal to everyone. We decided to grab their deep crust pizza for an quick lunch. As expected, my spouse and I couldn't finish the pizza and had to get a to go box. Everything we ate was fresh and delicious. The customer service was very good and our waitress was very attentive.

    First slice out, after 30 minutes in the car...still amazing!

    Wow! Just wow! I have lived in Colorado for 50+ years. Never in all of these years did I find a true Chicago style pizza. Lot's of great pizza-yes, but deep dish Chicago-no. I live in Highlands Ranch and have had to put up with the most mediocre (Nicolo's) pizza forever. Not anymore. Let me tell you right now, that it was worth the 60 minute round trip drive to pick this amazing pie up. The place is smack in the middle of downtown, so not easy to park and maneuver. Still - worth EVERY minute. First timers, if you're ordering to-go, don't stand in the way of line at the door. There is a pickup window to the right of the line, through a separate door. Oh, the pizza.....to die for. Cheese was amazing! Actually tasted like mozzarella, not just some bland ho-hum filler. We ordered sausage on 1/2 and meatball on the other. TBH, both were out of this world! We had a large and it seriously felt like 10 pounds carrying it out. I would recommend this to anyone dying for the real deal pie! Are you still reading this?.....just go!!

    My MIL brought us gift certificates last time she was in town so that's why we gave the Denver Giordano's another try. Well, the service was much better than the last time we were in the pizza just wasn't that good. Sadly, I think this will be our last visit to Giordano's Denver and will wait till we're visiting family in Chicago if and when we do Giordano's again.

    As a lifelong pizza lover, I finally got to try the famous Chicago deep-dish pizza right in my own neighborhood in Denver. I'm happy to say it absolutely lives up to the all the hype. Be prepared for a long wait time because it takes a while for the pizza to cook through, but it is so worth it. Just look at that legendary cheese pull! Their sauce is amazing, as well as the flaky crust. If you love pizza, this is a total game changer. You absolutely need to try it. (Side note: I finally tried Lou Malnati's also on a trip to Chicago. Although it's definitely good, I'm firmly on team Giordano's).

    Margherita deep dish
    Alisa Q.

    I rarely give 2 star reviews if ever but this was truly a disappointment... we ordered 1 personal deep dish to share and it took 30+ minutes. Once we got the pizza.. it was watery on the top (yes, watery) and the dough was undercooked. I've never had deep dish before so maybe this is normal, or maybe it isn't? But I didn't enjoy any of it and didn't have the time to wait for a new one. Definitely don't recommend for deep dish, maybe the thin crust or other items are better. Bar staff was nice, so this isn't a reflection of their work.

    To go box

    I have been dying to try this spot. I was disappointed because I wasn't hungry enough to order the Chicago style deep dish, but we got the thin crust and it was still phenomenal. We loved the toppings and sauce. The mozzarella sticks were great as well. It definitely lived up to the hype

    10" Chicago style deep dish pizza

    We're in town for a Dodger game and this place was within walking distance of hotel, we stumbled upon it while exploring. We ordered drinks and calamari while we waited for the Chicago Style style deep dish pizza. The deep dish takes 40 minutes and it was absolutely worth the wait.

    Individual Pizza
    Dev R.

    $27 for an individual pizza and salad. Waited 30 minutes for it. Service was less-than-fruendly, then there was a job shift. Although I was waiting longest, I waited fir her to prepare two others before giving me mine. Pizza was good, but crust was not. Not worth $27.

    great salad. shaved fennel. generous with tomatoes

We…read morewere seated immediately despite it being so packed on a Monday night without reservations. The place is cozy, homey, and welcoming when you walk in. The concept of it being inside a home is very interesting. The food here is amazing especially their Caesar Salad. That salad was so delicious we wanted to order some to go. Now the reason why this place is getting three stars because 1. The service here is horrible! 15-25 minute wait for our server to come back around and check in on us. It wasn't just us either but it was everyone else in the room. Saw a couple that waited about 25 minutes just to be checked up on after being seated. We also never asked for our bill yet and it was given to us without us asking. We wanted to order more food after our entree. Hence why we never got to order our Caesar salad. 2. This one was the most disappointing part of our dinner. We ordered tiramisu for our dessert, once served I noticed a glossy chunky on it, assuming it was maybe crystallized sugar. Wrong. It was a chunk of ice!! The tiramisu WAS STILL FROZEN!! For 12 bucks I can get some better tiramisu at king soopers, Safeway, or any other restaurant honestly. 3. There was an ant in my drink, and we weren't compensated for that. We paid 4 dollars for an ant drink.

    My partner and I had an excellent dinner at Tavernetta recently. Our server, Luis, and our…read moresommelier (also named Luis) were both fantastic! They gave excellent recommendations. We started with the focaccia (with the ricotta and honey on the side) and it was so tasty. My partner doesn't normally like ricotta, but loved this dish! Then, we had the melon salad (very refreshing). We were celebrating our anniversary, and the staff brought out complimentary glasses of bubbly rosé, as well as their special dish, which were the stuffed squash blossoms. This was a really thoughtful touch! For mains, we ordered the tagliatelle with lobster (this dish had a tiny bit of spice, which was fine for us but might catch someone else off guard), and the lamb loin. Both were excellent. Overall, we had a great time! We found easy street parking nearby, as well. My only downside would be that, because this restaurant is so popular, there are lots of diners, which makes for a pretty loud atmosphere. However, this just speaks to how good everything is, so if you think about it, perhaps it's a good sign!

No matter what you get here, you will enjoy it. I haven't had a bad dish or drink here. Do not skip out on the Per La Tavola (for the table plates). They are all so good. 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. Such great flavor and the pasta is always cooked perfectly. The service here is always top-notch too. The staff is very well-trained and is on top of everything. Truly a well-oiled machine. The atmosphere here is impeccable too. You can tell that everything was thought of for a great experience: lighting, table layout, decor, etc. It is a great place to bring a significant other, business customers, etc. I cannot wait for my next visit to Tavernetta and I was just there a few hours ago!

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. If you love scallops, the Capesante dish is not to be missed. These were some of the sweetest, perfectly prepared scallops I have had.

The Theatre menu is the way to go for sure. For my first course, I selected the Insalata di Caesar. This is a very large portion of salad so be forewarned but it is also very good, so win-win. For the main course, I opted for the Pollo alla Milanese. Also, a huge plate of food. I was able to make two additional meals from the chicken. The tagliatelle was perfectly cooked and the sauce paired perfectly well with the breaded chicken. Perfetto! For dessert, I had to try the Budino di Caramello. The butterscotch was truly delectable.
