Not sure what took so long but for the amount of time I waited I could've ran to King Soopers and picked up a gallon bucket at half the cost. The interior is really cool and inviting. The shop even leads into Denver Biscuit Company and it definitely seemed more lively on that side instead of the single person assisting us. Definitely an opposite experience from any Denver Biscuit Company I have visited. After the 20 minute mark I wasn't sure if they needed help milking cows or assisting with heavy machinery. If they told us "Hey, we're backed up a bit so it'll take about 10-15 minutes or a bit more to get your ice cream out" I would have been a bit more understanding...but we received no update while the customers before us finished their ice cream and left. Not returning any time in the near future and let this review be your warning. Great concept but the execution has left much to be desired.

The shop has a fun, welcoming atmosphere, the staff were incredibly friendly, and the ice cream was delicious. It's the kind of place that makes you want to slow down, enjoy a couple of scoops, and take a break from exploring. I especially loved how family-friendly it felt. This is definitely somewhere I'd bring the kids to enjoy some ice cream and spend a little time together. If you're strolling through downtown and craving something sweet, Josh & John's is well worth the stop. They also give a Military Discount.

Josh & John's is not my favorite, as it tends to have a chewy texture, and the flavors don't stand out to me, aside from oatmeal cookie, which is original and tasty.

Honestly, the exterior doesn't look like much, but that's part of its charm. When we walked up, the young lady taking our order was really friendly and professional, which made the experience even better. Since it was our first time there, she helped us navigate the menu, and I appreciated that. The prices on the menu were reasonable, and I was pleasantly surprised by how generous the ice cream portions were. Although our food took a little while to come out, we didn't mind too much because we got to enjoy the ice cream while we waited. The staff were so warm and welcoming that it made the wait worth it. Overall, I think the friendly vibe and good value here will definitely bring me back for another visit!

We had taken reviewers advice to make reservations, which proved invaluable, as the place was packed..on a Monday at 6pm. We were seated immediately and greeted by our server. I had mentioned on our reservation we were celebrating a birthday, and I think every member of the front end wished me Happy Birthday at least once! Overall, service throughout was impeccable! I am a huge fan of Chicken Parm, and have struggled over the years to find a version that compares to my favorite Italian eatery in NYC...pounded super thin with crispy breading and nearly overflowing the plate. I have found a new favorite, and confess I couldn't finish it. My wife had the Chicken Valeria which also was outstanding. Entrees come with a side salad...House or Caesar for a small upcharge. Both fresh and plentiful. After the mains, we had no room for dessert..as usual, but we were surprised with a pistachio cannoli for the birthday boy and it was easily one of the best cannoli we have enjoyed...even across may travels to Italy and NY. Overall an awesome dining and birthday experience, and probably good it's not in my hometown in NC as I would likely get in trouble! Five plus stars!!

I had the tortellini, and it was excellent. My wife ordered the bow tie pasta with chicken and Alfredo sauce (I think it's called the "Pasta alla Carbonara" or something like that), and she loved it. Both dishes were flavorful, cooked just right, and the portion sizes were spot on. We also had some gelato after the meal--delicious and super smooth. Only slight letdown was the kids' cheese pizza--kind of meh, but we didn't expect much from that anyway. All in all, very good experience, and we'll definitely be back.

Mici Italian delivers with some great pizza, but is lacking with some of the other dishes…read more The service was great, our order was taken quickly and each dish came out as they were being finished. The seating was very casual and nice. We got the 16" capraola. The toppings were good with the highlight being the sausage. The crust was definitely the highlight of the pizza. Crispy with no flop, and still an airy crust edge. The only negatives of the crust would be a little too much semolina and not enough salt in the dough. When you get to the crust edge there is barely any flavor and some extra salt could help. The chicken parmigiana was definitely the lowlight of the meal. The breading came off the chicken easily and wasn't crispy at all. The pasta wasn't salted enough and was too soft. The sauce was the worst part and it was overly sweet with not a lot else going on. Luckily the chicken had a ton of mozzarella on it which did save it a bit. The cannoli was also great. Large enough that you can easily share and fairly cheap at just $3. I love when a cannoli has the little chocolate chips in the cream, just wish there was a little bit more in the cream. Overall I will go back for some pizza and dessert but probably not for any of the other entrees.

My coworker ordered the meatball sandwich with fries, and I don't think he left a single crumb on his plate. The dining room felt like a charming little Italian piazza, bright, welcoming, and full of character. It gave the feeling of dining outdoors while still being the perfect cool retreat thanks to the air conditioning. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. It wasn't just our server, either, two other servers noticed our drinks were getting low as they walked by and offered to top them off. That kind of teamwork and attention to detail really stood out. If you're looking for a fun, relaxing place to enjoy a great meal, I highly recommend giving this place a try. And don't leave without checking out the dessert room. It's an absolute must-see! We grabbed a couple of milkshakes for the road, and they were the perfect way to end the meal.
