You get seated in the dining room which is fairly large. The tables and atmosphere is nice if a little dated. This restaurant has been around for 59 years and many patrons come time and time again. We came on a Sunday for a pre-birthday lunch/dinner (does anyone else call it linner?) The server was very friendly and we started with soft drinks and an order of mozarella fritti, which is fried mozarella served with their homemade marinara sauce. It was fried to perfection, hot and delicious. The entrees come with soup or salad and bread. The salad was nice and fresh and perfect before pasta. I chose Romano's Triple Treat, which comes with eggplant parmigiana, chesse ravioli and pasta. It comes with meatball, sausage or mushrooms. As it is served with two I chose one meatball and one sausage. It is a very large portion so a lot was taken home. Everything was cooked well and I had the homemade spaghetti for my pasta. Romanos is delicious and will definitely be coming back.

I love this local family-run restaurant -- the tasty food, the friendly and attentive staff, and…read morethe convenient location just a few blocks from downtown Littleton. I've tried quite a few items on the menu, and they all arrived piping hot and delicious. Some particularly flavorful items that stand out in my memory are the Triple Treat, the Romano's Special Pizza, Margherita Pizza, White Pizza, Baked Lasagna, Baked Cheese Ravioli, and our personal favorite, the Baked Mostaccioli. Even the plain Spaghetti with marinara hits the spot so well. I also really enjoy the cold and delicious salad that comes with the main dish. Don't get me started on the awesome warm Chocolate Chip Cookie with Ice Cream, as it's awesome, especially on a cold snowy night! I've never had an issue with parking, as there are two parking lots nearby, and even some parking right in front on Windermere St.

They're frozen drinks in the summer or a must try if I had my way I would want to eat here every weekend. They have lots of TVs in the bar area for sports their wine glasses are spotless With a wide variety of wine All of the staff is very knowledgeable and been there for a long time.

I especially liked the mushroom side, though I thought the chicken was a little dry. Overall, however, the pizzas were good, and I'd certainly be willing to return.

I have found Colore to be one of the top Italian restaurants in Denver. I have been visiting…read moreColore since my son was performing in band and orchestra concerts at DU, about 10-15 years now. It is not near my home, so I look for reasons to visit. My latest no-brainer excuse is to indulge in a nice meal prior to concerts from at Swallow Hill Music Center, located across the street from Colore. Last night was one of these nights. Quite the date night for me and my husband--a full meal at Colore and a Face Vocal Band concert at Swallow Hill! Colore has all the traditional American-Italian favorites, including lasagne and other creative pasta dishes (is the pasta homemade? I'm not sure, but it's yum!), chicken parm/picatta/marsala/saltimbocca, steak, fish, it is all very high quality and creative cooking. Pizza and calzones are also available. The prices are incredibly reasonable. Don't forget to glance at the cocktail menu, where they've tailored cocktails to include amaro, Campari, aperol,and limoncello to delicious result. Try the Italian Greyhound with Boulder Spirits gin and aperol, the Black Manhattan with Stranahan's whiskey and amaro, or the Italian margarita with Campari. And the wine list is reasonable, too, with a few high end Italian choices by the bottle, and many options by the glass to keep your budget down for the evening. And sangria? Yes, please! The desserts all have a nice Italian twist, as well. Cannoli, Tiramisu, gelato, and other indulgences. My FAVORITE THING? The garlic knots that come out with every meal, along with olive oil and balsamic for dipping. These are just heavenly, yeasty, soft, unforgettable. There is also always a special or two which we have found to be perhaps the most exciting and delicious on the menu. Last night, my husband ordered the salmon special. This piece of wonderful salmon was stuffed with lump blue crab and spinach, and had a white sauce with fennel and I forget what else, which was simply heaven. It was placed on a dollop of polenta. He ate every last bite. I opted for the vegetable lasagne, which didn't disappoint. A three-inch cube of lasagne, covered in their homemade marinara, with all the veggies--spinach, broccoli, artichoke, mushroom, zucchini. And of course, the requisite ricotta and mozzarella/parm layers. When we were sufficiently stuffed, we decided to share a dessert. Given the nice spring weather, we were drawn to the carrot cake with pineapple, walnuts, and berries, and a scoop of pistachio gelato. This carrot cake was a little two-layer individual round tower; they layer filled with pineapple sweetness and topped with a walnut cream. Strawberries and whip on the side made it feel healthy (lol). The pistachio gelato was the perfect accompaniment (we always need ice cream, right?), with little crunchy pistachios mixed in, as one would hope it would have. Our server was bubbly, very nice, and efficient. It was a great meal. I should also mention that they have takeout. How great would that be to have in your neighborhood? I noticed when I went online to make reservations, that Colore has just opened a Littleton location. I would like to submit a request--next location opening--Downtown Golden! That's my town, and I would love to have Colore take-out every week. And date night even more often. If no luck with getting a location in Golden, I will continue to keep my eye out for Face Vocal Band concerts at Swallow Hill, so that I have a great excuse to make my way down to South Broadway for a wonderful meal at Colore.

Our party of five was looking for a pleasant outdoor venue to enjoy a leisurely lunch, and based on…read morethe many positive reviews, Café Terracotta fit the bill. We made a reservation and were seated promptly at a large outdoor table offering both sunny and shaded spots. The setting is lovely, a nicely restored historic building with a Victorian vibe in downtown Littleton. We ordered: * Roasted Brussels Sprouts ($10) - sopressata, shaved parmesan, oregano-infused white balsamic * Chicken Salad Sandwich ($17) - toasted whole wheat, grilled chicken, dried cranberries, tomato, apple, walnut * Short Rib Grilled Cheese ($20) - beef short rib, white cheddar, tomato, horseradish sauce, arugula, caramelized onion, sourdough * (2) Black Forbidden Rice Salmon Bowls ($25) - cabbage slaw, cilantro, avocado, pickled red onion, cilantro vinaigrette Plus three cocktails: two Bees Knees and one Manhattan. Service was excellent and the food was very well executed. The shared Brussels sprouts were a hit. The salmon bowls were flavorful and nicely prepared, as was the chicken salad sandwich. The fries were hot, crispy, and tasty. However, the standout was the Short Rib Grilled Cheese. Absolutely fantastic, and definitely what I'll be ordering next time. Tip: Restaurant parking is available in back of the restaurant.
