Wow! Just absolutely wow! My mamaw is Italian, my family cooks Italian extremely well. This place was impressive. The food was SO Delicious! The service was quick and so friendly. Unfortunately we are from out of town or this place would be a weekly visit for sure. 10 STARS!!! read more

Food is an overall 7.5/10. The portions were fairly big and they had fresh food. We got grammy's favorite steak and pasta, supreme little Joey, and ravioli with meatball. Our plates all had the same tomato sauce, which was slightly bland. Our plates also contained lots of cheese, SHY AWAY LACTOSE PEOPLE. The ravioli was extremely soft with a burst of cheese, the pizza's veggies were vibrant and flavorful, however the steak was a bit overdone. The server did ask on the spot for us to check the meats cooking to see if its how we asked. This question made us really appreciate the restaurants culture and service. Price is average for mom and pop shop too. The Service was nice and welcoming. They gave us free garlic knots for being first timers. Our food came pretty quick and they double check to make sure the food is to our liking. The location is right off of Harlan and had limited parking. The patio is very comforting but slightly cramped. The aesthetic was very old time Italian restaurant. read more

The search for Italian hoagie perfection continues... This time we have a more favorable review. Being my first time at Grammy's I was drawn in..like everyone else by the baked goods. I held off..well sort of. Now on to the sangwhich..I went with Big Jeff's Italian Sub. Big Jeff knows how to eat. This sadly was not a sub. Sub is on a sub roll..not chibatta bread. I KNOW..how dare I sully Grammy's name. The flavor of this sangwhich was definaly there..just the bread threw me off. Remember..I am looking for my Italian Hoagie perfection. It was good..had the Zip and Zing of the dressing, meats and onions I had been looking for..but that bread..just didn't cut it for me or my east coast neghibor who got the other half. Loved what I believe were homemade potato chips but the lovely young lady who brought out our goodies couldn't confirm. Oh yes, and who can forget the giant plate of first timer garlic knots. You can seriously use those as a sandwhich bun on their own. Will I be back? absolutely. I have a whole list of things to try. Did I walk out with a giant chocolate chip cookie? ...again..Absolutly. Was I annoyed to stand in the same line as people ordering to pay my bill? Only slightly because I grabbed that cookie after standing there. Seriously though, let people pay at their table. Not open Sundays...and need a website update as its still showing festivals from 2020. I'm already scheduling my next oil change appt in golden around their business hours so I can stop for lunch. read more

My husband and I decided to try this restaurant after seeing it on Guy Fieri Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. It is so cute and family owned. The service was excellent. Our initial server was one of the owners daughters and she was so welcoming and efficient! We got one lasagna and a small salad. It was way more than we could eat! Possibly the best part was the huge garlic rolls and marinara sauce that they bring to you once you're seated. If we travel and visit Denver again, we will definitely stop here again! read more

Hidden gem! Not so hidden anymore, as Grammy's Goodies was featured on the popular tv show Diners, Drive-ins and Dives with Guy Fieri! They are famous for their lasagna and bakery items. Everything about this place was magical and delicious! Family owned and operated, amazing holiday decorations, cookies and treats piled high on every surface, friendly and attentive staff, unique and beautiful goodies displayed in the cases, free garlic knots for first time customers! The pizza has a thick and soft crust, the garlic knots are huge, the homemade pasta is tender and flavorful, the Italian beef sandwich is loaded with meat and a delicious dipping sauce, the Italian potato salad is so fresh and full of herbs, the cannoli was crunchy but not too hard and didn't fall apart. Everything we tried was delicious! Very impressed! This is a new favorite spot for our family! The quality of the ingredients and their passion for cooking and baking is obvious! A truly wonderful family and business! read more

Note to self- some things look better than they actually taste. I've been eyeing their ginormous rice krispy treats at Oktoberfest for a couple years, and decided this year to make it a go. I was honestly disappointed; it tasted a bit stale and was really hard to bite into. Makes a drool-worthy photo, but in actual taste, not that great. read more

Celebrating my husband's birthday is always fun as we seem to be out of town every year. This year was no different as we were in Colorado. He had his mind set on trying out this place seen on DD&D's. You just never know what you will find and WOW did this place impress for good old comforting Italian food. Family owned and operated which I love and respect. This business was started back in 2005 as the family participated in the Festival Italiano at Belmar. Ten years later the family opened a restaurant and Colorado loves it! It is always a pleasure to see a business crowded when you arrive and this place was no different. When we walked in, we got in line to order. Once they realized we were dining in, they asked us to find a table and they would come to take our order. Interior is cafe style nothing fancy but the smells coming out of the kitchen will make your mouth water. A very pleasant Joey Lynn arrived and dialed us in on the goods. We had to try their famous lasagna, salad and their garlic knots. Did I say garlic knots?? These knots were the size of large muffins. Huge and every single bite was a taste of heaven. The lasagna was absolutely as savory and delicious as Guy F. said it was. This is a very old recipe from the owners Mother as most of the other recipes are hers as well. The lasagna was big enough for us to share and still have some left over for lunch. They offer so much more than lasagna. Sandwiches, pizza with their homemade dough, Italian sausage and peppers, chicken parmigiana, fettuccine Alfredo and the menu goes on and on. So many desirable treats are offered for dessert but believe me we were just too full. Parking is a very small lot so you will must likely be parking on the street. We will definitely be back for more of their flavorful food. read more

One of the best root beer floats I've ever had. Also ordered a "slice" of lasagna cold to reheat later. 305 for 35min in the oven came out the perfect temperature. Was a bit dissappointed, I would consider the flavor and density middling at best. The sauce was bright, but the herbs, cheese, and meats were lacking in flavor. By density, I mean the slice was a little loose. I prefer more cohesion to my lasagna layers. read more

Truly authentic Italiano Homemade, sauces, pasta, marinata, cooked meats, the menu is endless, so are the goodies! The Alfredo sauce over my pasta was one of the best I have had, maybe better than NYC or Italy. There is a RICH history to this rather small yet accommodating restaurant in Wheat Ridge. Right down to the Red & White checkboard table covers. A small place with big flavors, with the entire family involved! Ready at the counter, "How can we help you today;" the sisters chime in; as the cooks and Grammy (second family Grammy Vickie) bussel in making every order fly from their kitchen. A bit of patience might be in order. I met Kylie & Joey. Their story started in 2008 from a food truck and then in 2015 expanded from the truck to the "Brick & Mortar current building, This was my first time, all first timers are given the Garlic Bread Rolls with marinara sauce - freshly made. AND! Your first meal will come with a complement of "6" Garlic Buns with Equally Outstanding Marinara sauce!!! NO Meat in the sauce. Plus, If you pay with cash, you get a cash discount. Be careful: the SWEET CENTER will grab your attention! As we sat, a constant stream of loyal customers came and went with more than 1 or 2 bags filled with the Sweet Goodies; and the choices are miraculously expanded on both sides of the isle where 3 tables sit. History is shown on every wall, from the pastries, to the original Grammy, I was able to slightly meet our Current Grammy and did get a photo - was not easy. Fresh specials are prepared each day! Check the black board right as you order, One cannot pass by the over abundant Tables of sweets, plus counters of sweets, the glass covered refrigerated sweets; this Italian restaurant ROCKS with customers in the main room, which appears to be a covered porch, we did mention "Brick & Mortar building. The two sisters and everyone in the kitchen through the office move with lightning speed, Yes there is a line, and when it is slow, these moments are spent serving, cleaning, checking on customers as more people flow in, and the entire moments repeat for the Authentic Italian cuisine. Aspen shared my freshly cooked Alfredo & she did a great job devouring that pasta, expertly. Curbside parking and lot, if your lucky there is a small 2 car parking area by the restaurant. read more

My husband and I had lunch today at Grammy's. He tried the new Coo Coo's combo with two giant meatballs, Italian sausage, fried green peppers and smothered in red sauce and provolone. He loved it and said it is his new favorite thing there! I went with a couple of my usual favorites. read more

Homegrown Italian eats, impressive portions! My partner and I checked this spot out for a post-work dinner and holy cow! I get why Guy Fieri stopped by. The portions are MASSIVE, I'm talking garlic knots the size of your head. Additionally, when we dined there they gave us the garlic knots for free because it was our first time, overall a generous business! The interior is more casual, but that's not the reason to go to this spot, the flavors are THERE. I'm also curious to see what their patio will be like when they're able to open it, as when we dined it was under construction. Another highlight of our experience was the pastries. My Sicilian partner drooled over the rainbow cookies and was very happy. We will definitely be returning!! read more

Mama Mia it was just like my Nonna's Casa, let me tell you people of Denver this is the place to go for Dolci appena sfornati, Grammy's offers a massive variety of baked goods as well as seasonal baked goods. Also serving incredible Italian entrees, sandwiches and regional dishes. The staff is incredibly friendly and happy to have you in their home, and trust me it's like their home even though it's a business. Grammy herself is behind the counter while the balance of people working are her family. Such great people serving their favorite dishes. I was in Denver visiting family and earlier saw an episode of Triple D where Guy Fieri filmed an episode at Grammy's and that's all it took. Not far from my family's home we ventured out and it did not disappoint. The variety of baked goods and pastries was incredible, cookies and pastries from my childhood growing up in Chicago filled the interior of this fine establishment. And you have to walk around all of these marvelous baked items stacked like buildings on a city block to get to the counter to order your food and pay for you freshly baked choices. We decided to pick up a piece of Lasagna to take home for dinner later, but did pick up an Italian Beef sandwich to taste and the Fishermen's Basket to taste as well. The friendly staff also threw in an order of Garlic Knots on the house for us to try. God Bless them, I felt like I was in my Nonna's basement where she fed us incredible Italian meals and treats. The smells, the heat of the oven and the savory flavors of genuine Italian food prepared at home. It doesn't get any better than this people. After we had our beef sandwich and fisherman basket we had to go back to pay and walking past the case what do we see but fresh cannoli and pignoli cookies. C'mon! So we had to pick up a few for tonight after our take home lasagna to enjoy while watching Thursday Night Football. You will not find a more unique genuine operation like this in Denver, so don't wait get out there now and pick up some seasonal dolce for you holiday festivities as well as a bite and enjoy these people and their hard work. Bravissima Grammy, I will be back every time I come into Denver to visit my "big Italian Famiglia. Bon appetitto! read more

We ordered take out consisting of lasagna and fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. Both came with nice large rolls. I also picked up a side salad. Now the pricing has gone up which is to be expected but my concern was the quality. Once again the lasagna really hit the spot. It is perhaps the best lasagna in the city area. The Alfredo was also good along with the rolls. This review is more of an update but I'm pleased with the overall quality of the food. There is plenty of other stuff at this place so you should stop in and check it out. To further explain about the lasagna I can taste at least two meats, one of which is sausage. I can enjoy the ricotta and I appreciate the sauce. It really is top notch. When I placed the order they said it would be ready in 15 minutes and sure enough when I walked in it was all ready for me in a carry out paper bag. The staff is friendly and it's a 5 star rating from me! read more

Denver day 1... We couldn't check into our hotel just yet, so we found a DDD at lunchtime. It's not all that big inside, just order at the counter and they bring to your table. After ordering, if it's your first visit, they give you complimentary garlic knots. They come with 6 and are about the size of my fist. Oh my. :) She had the Mangia Meatballs sandwich. It came with provolone cheese and added peppers. I chose the Italian steak sandy. It came with fried peppers on a homemade baguette. Not pictured, yes it's also a bakery a chocolate cream puff that barely fit in a small cake box. Pretty cool place that looks like is expanding. DDD#30 read more

If you are from Chicago, don't get the Italian Beef, you'll be sorely disappointed. The beef itself was dry and lacking flavor other than black pepper (it came with au jus but it shouldn't be doing all the work) and the bread was hard as a rock. That rant aside though, the rest of the food we got was good, I especially liked the Alfredo and a cookie sampler box we got to go. The portions were very generous. read more

I usually don't go out for Italian because I can make it myself really good, so I was pleasantly surprised when giving this a shot yesterday! Homemade authentic and the coolest/nicest staff in town, I will definitely be back!

I'm starting to think that the chef here at Grammy's Italian Goodies might be the only person in the Denver Metropolitan area that actually knows how to cook. I really regret not coming here earlier in our trip, because then we could have came here twice, and maybe avoided some other disappointing restaurant. Everything we ate here was delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Everything here not just tastes good, but is made with love and quality ingredients . This place changed my life. It took us (me & wife) days to finish a single order of garlic knots ($6.95 and worth it). Love the sauce, meat sauce, meatballs, I love it all. But that's not all you get. LOOK at the dessert pictures. BEHOLD the glory of the pastries. Most popular are the cream puffs, of course the cannot, tiramisu and other classics are on point. Grammy does not play, people. Shes playing for keeps... WITH YOUR HEART. You've been warned. read more

Such rude staff. Two of the staff members was arguing right at the cash register, ignoring all of the customers in the lobby. Our server seemed annoyed by our presence and we didn't feel welcome.

In town on vacation we always search out food gems. This place did not disappoint. Walking in it feels like a home cooked meal being greeted by staff that I get the hunch are all connected to the same family tree. For starters as first timers they offer you garlic knots. They had a nice sourdough taste and perfect texture. I also have to say as the reviews say; they are huge. Always like getting the inside track from the staff I went with the lasagna. It too was a large portion and the sausage and cheese throughout were mighty fine. The bread that I suppose is the same dough as the garlic knot came out super fresh with a crispy zing like it just came out of the oven. My wife went with the giant sausage cannoli. It was bigger than life and noticing a trend here the bread had a nice flaky and crispy touch. Went with the desserts of cannoli and giant cream puff. I would say the cream puff was good but more of a novelty. It is just too big. The cream was perfect. The cannoli was the dessert star of the show. There are so many choices when ordering dessert. Loved the staff and their sweet hospitality to make sure my water stayed full throughout the dining experience. read more

On Friday, June 13, 2025, I ordered lasagna, which contained ground beef, Italian sausage, ricotta, and mozzarella. I did not like it. Their sauce is too thick, and the sausage lacks flavor. The generous portion of lasagna was $19, which was split 3 ways. We also split a giant chocolate cream puff, which was heaven. It was light and delicious. Then we ordered a large pizza with half cheese and half pepperoni to take home to the family for Friday night pizza night. It was terrible! The crust was super thick, but not like deep dish (no olive oil). The cheese was too milky and too much. The size was 2 1/2 feet x 3 1/2 feet. Unbelievable! The service was excellent. My bill was over $100, and most of the pizza went in the trash. The atmosphere was a definite hole-in-the-wall/dive. It was not clean, and everything was very old. The bakery was amazing, with many fabulous-looking pastries and cookies. That is the only part of the business I can recommend. I need to try some other entrees to give a fair rating, but now I give the Italian food a 3-star and the bakery a 5-star read more

Woah!!! I was looking around, trying to find the best Italian food in Denver... And there's always the fussy Italian food that is kind of expensive and not like grandma used to make... And I stumbled across Grammys and read some of the reviews and thought this is perfect. I think my husband will love this. He grew up With his grandma making spaghetti sauce for days... Foremost, the food is absolutely delicious... We happen to know that we love, Clyde, Sausage, and the fact that they serve it is amazing and so delicious... The garlic knots are as big as my hand... We were so impressed and they're really delicious and somehow kind of light and fluffy... My husband had the lasagna and the portion was huge. I'm pretty sure that we're going to have lasagna for at least 2 to 3 more meals and I had fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and it was divine and the portions were huge. I'm sure I'm gonna eat that for days as well... Our eyes got really big when we saw the desserts and the goodies... they were so yummy looking The best thing about this place is the old-school red and white checkered tablecloth and friendly service and the fact that this is a family business just made our heart happy... While we were sitting there, we noticed a poster apparently this place was on Guy Fieri Diners DriveIns and Dive... I can see why... It's old-school and we love it. It's my new husband's favorite place. It reminds him of days of old. read more

This is a true gem. I have wanted to experience this treasure for a long time. When we arrived a wonderful server opened the door, was gracious and genuine, setting us up for a great experience. As we stood at the window to place our order, I could see "Grammy" working hard in the next room. She was surrounded by children all having a great time. I was so excited to see her and looked forward to hopefully meeting her. I ordered the homemade spaghetti with meatball and added a sausage link. The meal was served with a fresh baked butter roll, the spaghetti was made well, loved the sauce and sausage, but the meatball was incredible with a soft mouthfeel and loaded with flavor. A girls softball team of 25 guests came in and Grammy grabbed a ticket book and jumped tight in to help the server taking orders and then serving the team. This woman is amazing, she works so hard and is a genuine restaurateur! I later met her and she is down to earth and so full of love. This is the happiest place on earth!!! read more

I don't get disappointed often. The hype of this place is overblown. Could be renamed Grammy's Dough Haven. Many of the goodies displayed had no pricing. Odd to not know the price and it was busy to ask. It was fully staffed with people running around in the background. But didn't see a purpose for it. Customer service was inconsistent and lacking. Staff member at register was abrupt and unpleasant to some, nice and sweet to others. Specifically offered 'first-time customers' free garlic knots to some, others had no mention. I understand pricing is high nowadays, but many of the items are way overpriced for 'homemade.' Maybe the recognition garnered from television feature was incentive to raise the prices because 'people will pay.' Garlic knots were mainly undercooked and doughy, poorly seasoned with scant garlic or parmesean flavor. The order was a tangle of 'knots,' more like a mess of rolls. Stromboli was massive with a brick of sausage inside. The sauce on the side was good. Massive meaning layered dough. Hardly cheese. Although I realized what I ordered was a heap of dough with meat, as a first time customer I felt so rushed and my one question had a snapped answer. Add the bready garlic knots and it was too much gluten. The flimsy stryfoam container was too small for all that bread. If you want a carb, judgy, bread-heavy experience, check this place out. I will not be returning nor recommend it to anyone, although the pricy pizzelles were good to choke down at about $1 a piece. I like to support local businesses. I did here once. Not a nice place to make customers feel good. Don't go. You'll be glad you did. read more
