When you make reservations, and it is highly recommended that you do, there is an option to select a preset theatre menu option- Theatre Prix Fixe for $60 per person or the traditional menu option. 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. Our server and the staff at Panzano were amazing and checked in on us frequently. I highly recommend Panzano if you're in the area.

Both sounded different from the usual downtown menu options, so we figured we'd give them a shot. The sliders were rich but not overly heavy, and the onions added a lot without overpowering the lamb. I actually liked the linguine more than I expected since the meatballs were tender and the pasta wasn't drowning in sauce. Service stayed consistent through the night even after the dinner crowd picked up. Our server checked on timing for the kitchen and kept drinks refilled without hovering around the table too much. Nice atmosphere for a slower dinner with friends.

Food for the young and older. One of the owners asked if our "sweet potato" filling was cooked enough and offered to redo it? We didn't have any taste issues so this transparency was welcomed and noticed. Our friends who were local loved it and for me it was a nice change.

When we eneterd the restaurant the gentleman at the register was really helpful and pointed out that the whole 30 version of the menu item can greatly differ from the description often removing items. For example, if you are looking forward to the chicken and dumplings, beware if you select the whole 30 option NO DUMPLINGS. My salad had lots of ingredients, however, the whole 30 version only had beets and almond flour feta (which was delicious, ps) but a lack luster salad. I'm not sure why they wouldn't replace the pickled onions in the salad with fresh onions so it didn't look as sad. The green chili wasn't spicy (which is probably good for some) and was cumin forward. Not bad. Matt enjoyed it, although it had the vegan cheese wiz, which I am pretty sure shouldn't have been on the whole 30 option- we picked it out. The Buffalo cauliflower was an excellent portion and was good! The vegan ranch was watery and not what we expected, but also not bad. Spicy options for those of you like me are chaloula and I saw them with Frank's red hot, but you will have to ask the kitchen for it. It was cozy inside and as I mentioned the service was good. However, I'm not sure we would go back until they have a menu change.

We thankfully got sat quickly without a reservation. The inside is nice and ambient lighting. It also has an indoor/outdoor bar which I'm sure is great in the summer. I mainly came here because I knew they had tomato basil soup and I was having a strong craving. To start I got the queso fundido because of a place has it on the menu, I must try. I asked if it could be done without meat and our server said no - that it was premade. Honestly, this was just okay queso. Definitely not authentic or anything like actual queso fundido. Would not order again. The soup was good! Not the best I've ever had but definitely good. The only thing was we ordered a soup but didn't specify and got the small size. I would specify a bowl if you want a meal sized portion. The grilled cheese that came with it was tasty! The chicken Caesar wrap was fine. Portion is sorta small but glad it comes with a side. Nothing too special. Overall the place is nice, staff is friendly and food is fine. I wouldn't particularly want to return but if a friend suggested, I'd give it another shot.

My husband brought me here for a date night. We came for Happy Hour before heading to the theater…read more We were welcomed in and asked if we could just sit at the bar. Breya took great care of us. It was Wednesday, which is half off bottle of wine day, so we chose to get a bottle of the Dalia Pino Grigio. We chose some shareables. We got the Mediterranean Board. It would normally have baba ghanoush and hummus. I mentioned that I was allergic to eggplant so they left both the baba ghanoush and hummus off the board. Our board came with dolma, roasted tomatoes, marinated olives, pickled turnips, fennel, feta, Schug and sliced pita. Schug is a spicy, fresh Middle Eastern hot sauce from Yemen. It was my first time having it and it was a delicious spread to put on the pita. We also shared the Sticky Ribs. Three pork ribs with five-spice lacquer on a bed of Asian slaw. For our final shareable, we chose the Venetian Flatbread which had pesto, provolone cheese, roasted tomato. We decided to add the spicy coppa on top. Everything was quite tasty. We were watching Breya skillfully make snazzy drinks and my husband decided to get a Mary's Gimlet. We watched as she blended vodka, lime juice, and simple syrup, floating a lime slice on top. This was a great start to our evening. The location was perfect as it was adjacent to the theater, which was our next stop.

The employee at the counter was patient even with a small line forming behind me, and my order came out pretty quickly.

The almond croissant was lightly sweet and tasted fresh instead of overly buttery. The shop itself felt relaxed and clean, and nobody rushed customers even during the breakfast crowd. I'd come back when I'm in the area again.

At one point, I seriously thought about flying back to NY to get the good baguettes. After a few years, I finally found one! I was there every Friday, but now, with a new job, it is just impossible to go. When I was going to a meeting in Denver, I searched for a bakery. I always look at photos of a baguette - the whole "figure" and how it looks when cut. I could find photos of the baguette, but none of the cross-section. So it was a gamble - I pre-paid for 2 baguettes. And I was not wrong! They were wonderful! Embarrassed to say, but I ate almost the whole baguette by myself! I froze the second one. Now I want this baguette all the time!! So here is the photo.

We had a few other appetizers as well and they were all excellent. For my entree, I had the Top Shelf Enchiladas and these were outstanding! They had shrimp and lobster and a delicious creamy sauce on top! The beans were dark and rich (like George Hamilton) and the plain white rice worked well with this dish. If I was in Denver, I'd go to this restaurant again. For a city in the mountains, there are a lot of Mexican options and this one was 5-Stars!
