Catching up on a review I am overdue writing from our road trip through the Rockies in mid-August…read more Carelli's is one of those places that I'll always remember. The staff was super cool, friendly, funny. We loved our server, Mariah, and chatted with one of the pizza chefs in the open kitchen. They were all working so hard and gave this place such a fun vibe. We ordered the "All The Way" pizza and a "Colowyo" Stromboli to share. OMG...so much food and so good (and we are picky about our pizza). I also ordered a side salad, which was good, but standard. They have a beer club where locals can buy a stein and hang it on a peg on the wall to use when they come in. Fun! If I lived nearby, would definitely eat here frequently! I give this restaurant a rock solid 4 stars, but bumping it up one star due to their staff -- it's all about the people, right?

After an exhausting day working in the field, my coworker (friend lol) and I decided that we wanted…read moreto treat ourselves to a fricken bomb dinner in a town that was nicer and more familiar than the podunk place we were staying for the week. Insert Carelli's in Craig, Colorado. We found street parking right out front, and walked in expecting the place to be small, quaint, and give off a very homey vibe. The front, which seemed to be sort of a quickie to go type of place to grab a slice of pizza for lunch definitely rang true to our assumptions, but we ventured into the rear of the restaurant to find what I can only describe as elegant and casual at the same time. Um... what? A nice, upscale place in a small mountain town of Colorado??? We were greeted and seated quickly, and found ourselves at a cozy little two top, ready to order drinks while we were perusing the large menu. I started with an IPA (unfortunately don't remember the name of said beverage), and my friend ordered a white sangria. We decided to try starting with their bruschetta, as well, while still deciding on our meals. The drinks made their way to our table, and we were ready to order; I wanted to try their chicken piccata at the suggestion of my friend (I'd never had it before!), and she went with the classic spaghetti bolognese. We spent some time getting lost in conversation until our starter came out. It looked good! Definitely different than the bruschetta that we have both had in the past, but it was yummy! The plate was steaming hot, and the cheese was nicely melted over sliced tomatoes; the bread was a bit crusty on the edges, and soft and chewy on the inside. We continued talking while inhaling the appetizer, and it seemed like mere seconds had passed when the main course was set in front of us. The dishes looked pretty good. My plate was super hot, and my friend said hers was too, which is always a plus; hot food is the best lol. Overall, we both enjoyed our meals; I think my chicken was slightly dry, and the sauce it came smothered in could have been more prominent, but the sauce was very flavorful for what it was. The spaghetti it came with was definitely warm and it tasted good, but it didn't absolutely blow me out of the water - it was just normal, run of the mill spaghetti! My friend said she liked her dish, but that it was missing some of the more "traditional" aspects of what she normally sees with bolognese. I'd definitely come back if I were in town again!! The experience was super nice, the staff was friendly, and prices were reasonable.

No service (at the table) for quite a long time so we decided to leave, but Nick noticed that we were walking out and offered to help us at the bar. Totally turned the experience around.

We saw they had a happy hour advertised. We thought we would check it out…read more When we came down the stairs, the first thing the bartender asked us was whether we had a reservation. Right away I said no, and asked if we needed a reservation to sit at the bar. Another customer at the bar said, "No! Clearly there is room!" He was the only one at the bar. I then saw that there was a tv and asked if they were playing the World Cup games. They then told us that the tv didn't have live tv service and was just looping something. Ok, the small pub table in the bar section was available. We sat there since the tv wasn't necessary. Asked about the beer happy hour special, they only had 3 bars on tap: lager, red, ipa. (Only 3 of 6 taps being used). We went in for a quick happy hour thinking it would have that type of environment. It clearly wasn't meant for that type of customer. The service clearly showed us that.

We all have a moment of fortunate happenstance; or I should call it, "serendipity" when we are out…read moreand about. And that is the best kind of Yelping. For this restaurant, the find was almost like that. We (while enjoying our quick spa getaway in town coming from the greater Denver area) found this place after a disappointing experience with another similar restaurant nearby as it was closed for a private party that night. We were in a dire need of finding something alternative. As we were walking around town earlier that day, we did notice this place. After checking to make sure that it was truly open (not again, right?), we rushed there to fill our empty stomachs. The experience? It was quite good! Despite its unfortunate setting (downstairs in one of the buildings on the busy main street in town), what they can offer is worth the mention. Ambience?? Good! Fairly small restaurant but the layout is efficient where it can hold at least 50+ people when it's packed. The bar is the most ambient part of the restaurant where copper top was most fitting with chic looking lightings hanging from the ceilings. As long as the weather permits, seating in the patio is available. Three men collaborated to assist us for all of our needs during our fairly quick dinner. Time was barely 5pm. The night was still very young. Other diners eventually streamed in and it was at its 50% capacity by 5:50m. By the way, this experience was on a Thursday in mid-April of 2026. Here is what we got: -Justin Cabernet $15 per glass -Mediterra Super Tuscan $15 per glass (I had this one. Justin which my daughter had was better than mine in my opinion.) (The selection for wine by the glass is a bit small; they could easily add a few more to both the white and the red) -Starter bread (complimentary; later one of the men came to refill it by adding a few more slices. Excellent starter bread) -Mussels alla Crema (Cream based. They can make it with red sauce as well; $18) -Torretta de Malanzane (An eggplant burrata dish, $17) -Brassato (A gnocchi dish with braised short ribs, $30) All of the dishes were equal contenders where I simply couldn't pick one winning dish out of them. Each dish's meticulous presentation coupled with the overall seasonings, flavors and complex or perfected texture, their creative dishes are the core reason for their successful restaurant operations is what I gleaned while dining. We, unfortunately, skipped the dessert part as we saw an ice cream place several doors up the street from it earlier. We wanted to immerse ourselves in different dining experiences while our short stay in town so maybe next time we dine here again, we will indulge in their "decadent" dessert treats.

Stopped in to try out for dinner. Glad we did. Very charming and very friendly staff. The food was…read moredelicious! Pasta cooed perfectly and the chicken parmigiana was really good!! Highly recommend stopping here for dinner!!

In twenty years of travel (work) this is the BEST curated small space that has something for anyone…read morewalking in the door. I walked in looking for a bottle of local wine (new in town) and found MUCH more. There are fresh cheeses that the owner graciously offers samples before buying. The wine selection was missing local wines, but once I engaged Vanessa's wine knowledge, I found we were sympatico on drinking unadulterated (no wierd additives) beverages whether wine or tequila. As I said, the space is small, but the owner has been able to acquire a great selection, if limited, of liquors, wines, beers (beer available by singles). Another bonus was a freezer full of choice cuts of grass-fed, local, angus beef. This is truly a gem in this little town. I haven't shopped the local grocery store, but what I can see online is there is no comparison to the quality of the products in this shop. When dinner or drinks call for 'special occasion'...THIS is the place to shop!

I came for the cheese, but glancing around the shelves, noticed favorite Italian aperitifs and NA beers by Athletic. I will be back to enjoy happy hour (4-6, Tuesday through Saturday). Also pay a visist next door, to Off The Olive Branch, for a dizzying selection of imported oils and vinegars, pastas and sauces, and a big case of quality meats, plus other foods you never knew you needed until now.

Went to Hugo's tonight, (a Wednesday around 8pm), and honestly wasn't expecting much given how…read moreempty it was -- but the food and service were both excellent. Sandy was my server and she was great. Attentive without hovering, the kind of service you'd expect at a much fancier place. I decided to move from the bar to a high top when my salad arrived and she immediately jumped in to help me get resettled. Later my napkin slid off my lap and she had a fresh one down before I even reached for it. I ordered the Rocky Mountain Ribeye with fingerling potatoes, green peppercorn sauce, gorgonzola, and braised onions. It came out thinner than I usually like my steak cut, so I was a little skeptical at first, but it was cooked perfectly and very tender. The gorgonzola on top made the dish. The flavors were incredible! The fingerlings were fine but forgettable. Didn't matter -- the steak carried the plate. I also had the side salad, which I almost didn't bother with, but as it turned out, the ranch dressing was scratch-made and they toss in thin-sliced green apple, which really elevated a simple side salad. Can't figure out why this place wasn't busier. Food and service this solid deserve a full room.

Cute and unique little spot! Came here in the end of February for Sunday brunch before heading back…read morehome and there were several groups that all knew each other, felt very much like this is where "the regulars" go! Windows give a lot of inside light, decent spacing between tables so you don't feel awkward or squished. We were seated quickly. The host and servers were all nice and checked on us regularly. We started with drinks- my wife had an Irish coffee (strong!) and I had a Bloody Mary; this thing was LOADED with celery, carrot, something pickled, bacon, etc and it was divine. I wish I had taken a picture of the menu because it had some different offerings compared to what is currently on the website so unfortunately, I cannot recall the names of what we ordered but they were both fantastic! Descriptions as follows- My wife had some kind of pork hash with 2 poached eggs and caramelized onions that was melt in your mouth delish! It was a fairly large serving; she ended up saving about half of it for a meal later. I ordered a dish that had caramelized sweet potatoes, spinach, smoked salmon, spinach, mushrooms, poached eggs and an aioli - this was delightfully fresh but also filling. All the "ratios" of ingredients felt perfectly matched. Overall, if I am ever back in this area I will definitely be stopping here again!

So happy we decided to stop in Mambo! I loved walking in and seeing the kitchen immediately, this…read moreis usually a sign that food is going to be goooooooood. We were seated right away with no reservation (on a Tuesday evening around 7:30 pm); I imagine reservations probably come in handy. We started with a bottle of wine - the wine list had a wide range of bottles priced lower to your more expensive bottle; we chose one in the middle range (super Tuscan) and it was very tasty. Reviews on food: Calamari: I really enjoyed the calamari! It was lightly battered but had just enough crunch. The flavor was great. They even had lemon wedges and pepperoncini fried in with the calamari which I loved. Cesar salad: I forgot to snag a picture of the salad, and it also happened to be my least favorite item we ordered. The dressing was overly sweet for my liking and did not have your standard Cesar flavoring. I wish I would have asked more about the dressing to understand it a little better. I probably would not order this salad again. Eggplant parmigiano: this was sooooo good! The eggplant was breaded and cooked perfectly. I could have just eaten the eggplant it was so tasty. Highly recommend!! Tagliatelle bolognese: I am a huge sucker for bolognese, so I usually judge this sauce pretty tough. This. Was. De. Licious!!! The meat sauce was full of flavors and the noodles were cooked perfectly. I was impressed! Butterscotch budino: perfect way to end our meal. I'm a huge fan of butterscotch flavored desserts and this did not disappoint. It was light and not too heavy after a meal of pasta. The thick layer caramel on top was delicious. The portions were big in my opinion, so while prices were a little high, I thought we got our moneys worth of food. Our server (and others that came to the table) were all super kind and helpful. It does get very loud in the restaurant, so had the weather been nice enough to eat outside, I probably would have chose the patio seating. Overall this was a great meal! 5 starts for the scrumptious food, portion size, and service.

I'm leaving yet another... 5 star review for The Pullman because every year I come dine at this…read morerestaurant I am blown away. First off, the most notable thing about this experience was the genuinely most amazing waitress I think I have ever encountered, Grace. Grace was the kindest soul, she took such amazing care of us and went ABOVE AND BEYOND. Me and my family will go out to eat now and say "she was good but not as good as Grace". Second off, The food was AMAZING per usual. I had the Wagyu steak and it was cooked perfectly, I usually hate going out for steak because I find it to never be seasoned as much as I'd like but this took the cake. The blue cheese dip with chips was so delicious, like possibly one of the best things we have ever tasted. We also tried to carrot cake sorbet which I know sounds odd but it was so delicious, you can tell the kitchen staff puts their heart and soul into this food. My husband got the special, which was like a Turkish ricotta stuffed pasta and it was AMAZING. Even my sister who got the wagyu burger, AMAZING. My only critique was the hostess was very rude to my family for no reason when we walked in which almost turned my parents off from trying to the most amazing restaurant. Luckily, the service got amazing after that. Everyone was so kind and helping everyone, just a great atmosphere. They also had the Knicks game playing which was great haha. I can't wait to come back next summer for my favorite meal despite living states away we will always make it back to The Pullman.
