It was pretty good, I had a pizza the crust was well prepared, other than not getting the correct order and it being cold it was pretty good. My companion had the lasagna which she said was very good. The service was pretty quick we ordered and waited for a text. We then had assistance to bring back the food. Which was good. But the fact that the pizza was cold will keep me from go back or recommend it. read more

**Pass & MEH**. The young, female employee at the register here is so rude and has such a bad attitude that we nearly cancelled our order. She even made faces and rolled her eyes when we asked questions in regard to ingredients as one of us has an allergy. We got the Penne Pasta which was oily and fine but nothing to rave about. We also got the Pesto Pizza. The crust was tough and we didnt see any Zuchini as stated on the menu. I dont recommend spending your money here. There is another Pizza restaurant down the street, out of the Denver Market that we walked by after eating here and we wish we would have went there instead read more

Let me start wit huh the prosciutto, it was like butter. The garlic crisps that came with it were delish! I could have just had this for dinner alone. The pizza was light and packed with flavor. The place was pushing pizzas put like crazy. Seems like they do a lot of to go orders. They have a good system there. We sat right by the pizza makers so we watched them make the magic happen.

I had never been to the Denver Central Market before and wanted to try it. The pizza at Vero drew my attention. It looked and smelled amazing. I am not typically a pizza person. The person working the register was friendly and helpful. My friend and I decided to split the Salsiccia pizza. It had Italian sausage, shredded mozzarella, tomato sauce, ricotta, chili flakes and topped with Arugula. It looked fantastic. My favorite part was the crust. It was so amazing and heavenly. I wish I could have said the same for the rest of the pizza. I knew it had chili flakes on it and I am okay with a bit of heat, but this pizza was doused in it. I feel like someone must have made a mistake. It was so hot that it was almost uneditable. My friend and I were almost crying from the heat and the spice. It would have been good had it not been so spicy that it was painful. read more

Vero Italian offers mainly pasta and pizza dishes. We ordered the La Vero pizza, which was pretty decent. It had a garlicky flavor that I really enjoyed. It was also large enough to feed three people. The service was good; food was ready very quickly. You can watch them prepare your pizza and cook it in their pizza oven. Overall, pretty decent place with a great vibe as it shares the space with other food establishments. read more

Friendly server and family owned. We love. Tried their prosciutto with tomatoes. I had to get gluten free crust cause of my intolerance. And let me say it was the best gluten free crust i've ever had. I could've eaten the whole pizza myself if I wasn't full. Tastebuds were satisfied. Everything was balanced perfectly and had a nice fire oven flavor. And the prosciutto wasn't overly salty.

Located inside the central market, you can find this Italian/Spanish pizzeria tucked to the left. Even on a Monday afternoon, this place was busy. We chose a pizza--added Burrata, spaghetti and meatballs and a gnocchi. It's actually my second time back in the city visiting this! The wait staff was friendly and patient when ordering. You get a number, find a table and wait for the food to come out fresh. I loved that it came with silverware including a real plate. I don't know about you, but pizza hits different on a real plate. The area was at a medium voice level, clean, and was a mix of people working, friends chatting and families dining. All in all a great place. read more

i'm an out of towner, but have visited the Denver Central Market twice and both times went to Vero Italian. Both times, I was impressed by the quality of the food and the flavors. They make great dishes with great depth and the staff has always been very nice. The ambiance is pretty much an extension of the Denver Central Market which is a communal area where I can only describe it as kind of an "artisanal food court" experience as everyone gets their food and brings it back to their party. Cool spot for pasta for sure and I'd probably go back next time I'm here. read more

I was craving pasta and stopped by Vero and tried their Ricotta Gnocchi. The staff were friendly and I loved the ambiance they had. While waiting for my order, I saw the staff prepping a bunch of fresh meats, cheeses, and veggies which looked so good! I was excited for the food to come out. The gnocchi itself was a bit thicker than what I am used to. However, it tasted homemade and was very chewy. The flavor of the sauce and the chucks of ricotta were a perfect addition to the gnocchi. The portion was a pretty big size - so I was able to take the leftovers home. I'm planning to go back to try the pesto pasta they had! read more

Wood-fired pizza nestled inside the bustling Denver Central Market. To get to them, you'll find a place to park along one of the streets or the limited parking lots in the area. Walk over to the Central Market's main section and enter either the street side or from the back alley. Not a deserted back alley but a nicely repurposed area between the buildings designed for shopping and dining. Heck, this whole section of town has been redesigned for the better. Inside, it's a nice open-air market with a variety of stations to visit or browse. You'll find people queued up to counters, carrying plates of food, or seated in the shared dining area enjoying their company and/or meals. You can spot Vero's over in a nice bright cheery area with a long counter and red brick background. The large round green mosaic-tiled oven can't be missed. That oven is where the pizza-making magic takes place. There are a number of pizza and pasta selections to choose from. I ordered a whole pizza to eat a couple of slices there and the rest boxed to go. There's something about oven-fired where the crust gets flame-kissed to a nice light charred quality that makes the whole pizza-eating experience distinct and memorial. Oh and that oven bakes pies super fast! No long waits here. read more

I'm in my mid 40s and have eaten A LOT of pasta all over the world, including 2 weeks in Italy...but this little food stall served the best Gnocchi dish I've ever had! I had devoured lots of meat the past few days and wanted to go vegetarian, how little did I know.... $16 Gnocchi al Telefono: Ricotta gnocchi, tomato sugo, fresh mozzarella, basil, grana...this all sounds pretty generic and simple, but the precise blend of all these flavors were intense and mouth watering. The sweet zesty tomato sauce, warm melted cheeses, hints of basil, and each tender gnocchi piece were all so sensational and so very Italian! Not sure when I'll ever be back in Denver, but I'll try to make it back here just for this Gnocchi dish! read more

This is the Italian option inside the Denver Central Market. My son wanted pasta. I ordered him the kid's pasta, which was either orecchiette or bucatini, choice of sauce, and choice of cheese or no cheese. He went with bucatini, butter sauce, and cheese. They asked for my phone number to text me when it was ready. It didn't take long. The pasta was excellent, perfectly al dente. The butter sauce and cheese were delicious. I liked it more than my son. He prefers his pasta softer. I saw them making the pizzas and they looked tasty. It didn't seem to me they sell them by the slice, only while pies. If they sold them by the slice, I would have bought one (I wasn't going to order a whole pie for myself). Service was nice. They speak Spanish too. read more

What a delicious pizza!!! The ricotta cheese with the balsamic glaze was an excellent combination. Sweet and salty all the way. It was $18 for six slices of pizza with goat cheese, ricotta, shredded mozzarella, black fig, walnut, lemon juice, watercress, and balsamic glaze. A two-handed pizza. This location is in the Denver Central Market. We visited on a Saturday. It was crowded, and they served us our food within 15 minutes.

Fantastic pizza, super fast! Dropped in to grab a pizza to take over to Larimer Lounge. It was genuinely difficult to choose a pizza because all of their options sounded (and smelled) amazing. Went with the Verdura pizza to go and got an estimate of 10-15min. I headed over to the bar to grab a drink while I waited and by the time I got my drink, I got a text from Vero that my pizza was ready! Super fast! The Verdura was Itallian-style, thin crust, light sauce, light cheese. It was delicious and paired well with the beers we were enjoying at the show. Heads up! This is one of those neighborhoods where streets have been closed off to allow restaurants some outdoor space for social distancing. So, this place can be challenging to get to or park near. read more

We came on weekday night and the market was still pretty crowded. I got their ricotta gnocchi. I think the gnocchi was a bit dense for my personal taste but definitely tasted very fresh and homemade. I think the sauce also tasted very fresh but also kind of one note. I would have liked something else in there to diversify the texture or taste a bit. Overall, it was a good meal and portion - I would come back to try their pizza or some of their other pasta dishes. read more

You cannot pass by this stall without wanting to order their pizza. The smell from the wood burning oven would stop you from doing anything else. It was a snowy week day night and the entire place was slow. I can tell between the two workers, the girl was a trainee and the boy was her trainer. He was being very patient with her, giving her verbal tips on how to stretch the dough. Still she made it a tad too big and when the final product came out of the oven, it couldn't fit the pizza box very well. So they gave it to us and he went on making another one for our order! I didn't mind the "ugly pie", it was hot and cheesy. Too bad the flavor profile was missing something - perhaps a tad of sweetness to complement the tomato based sauce. It wasn't the best pizza I've had but the experience of watching it being made was pleasant! read more

I have been ordering delivery from Vero Italian and it's really tasty and affordable, which can be a difficult to find combination. They're consistent and not too much or too little of any toppings. Similar to New York Style pizza, crusty on the outside and chewy on the inside. We often get the margherita and either the sausage and mushroom or the spicy soppressata. This time I swapped out the Diavola for the Bella, which is a fig, balsamic, and arugula. It was a bit dry and not my favorite, so I'll go back to the old standbys on my next order. I haven't been in person yet, but look forward to biking over when the weather is nice. read more

The Denver Central Market

It was worth the walk here, about 20 minutes, less than a mile from The Rally Hotel at McGregor…read moreSquare. Instead, we could have just as easily got an Uber here in five minutes. We came here for brunch on a Sunday morning, before heading to Coors Field to see an afternoon Rockies game. The market mainly consists of an indoor food court, with indoor and outdoor seating options. The crowd is mostly local. The vibe is casual. For our first visit, we were impressed with the food we got from Izzio Bakery, and the coffee we got from Crema Bodega. I have reviewed these separately.

If you are visiting Denver, you have to stop by The Denver Central Market. It is easily one of the…read morebest spots in the city for friends and family, especially if no one can decide on what to eat. There are a bunch of different places to check out inside, so everyone can grab exactly what they want and still sit together. Today, I specifically visited Call Your Mother, a Jewish deli, and Izzio Bakery. Atmosphere: Since I went right around the time they opened, the atmosphere was exactly what I needed. It was super laid-back and chill, making it the perfect place to get out of the house for a calm morning. As it gets later into the day and through the weekends, I know it gets very busy, but there is plenty of random seating throughout the hall and even some outdoor spots if you prefer. Parking: Parking is going to be street parking. Make sure you read the signs, but it is usually free. Even when the market is busy, I usually don't have to walk more than a block to get inside. So it is a very convenient location for the RiNo area. Service: The customer service throughout the market is great. At Call Your Mother, the cashier was very sweet, and they even text you when your food is ready. Over at Izzio Bakery, everyone is super kind and helpful while you're looking at their amazing pastry display. Even with a line, you're usually only waiting about 10 to 12 minutes for your items. Food: The food variety here is incredible. I tried the Sun City breakfast bagel sandwich from Call Your Mother and the hot honey was the perfect balance of sweet and spice on a toasted bagel. For a sweet treat, I went to Izzio Bakery for the Dulce de Leche Queen. The pastry case there looks like something out of a movie. The pastry itself was perfectly crisp on the outside with a delicious yellow vanilla cream and cinnamon on the inside. Overall Experience: Overall, I really enjoy coming here and trying new places. It is a fantastic destination for groups or just a solo morning out. Whether you want a savory breakfast bagel sandwich or a beautiful pastry, The Denver Central Market always hits the spot. I'll definitely be back to explore more.

The cheese was good, the crust was GREAT, the artichokes did not do it for me, they were pickled, I wasn't a fan of the sourness on the pizza. It's a great space for late night pizza when hitting the club next door. I'd like to try the other pizzas. I'll be back RiNo!

Excellent little service counter stop…read more You walk in and order, find your seat, and wait for Italian deliciousness. Everything is fresh and flavorful. Really, it's white tablecloth quality at a quick-serve price. My favorite meal is the Caesar salad, followed by the burrata with ciabatta and basil pesto, then finished with the pizza logs. It's a lot of food, but worth the nap.

Absolutely awful Italian meal. And coming from an Italian family, though it doesn't matter, it was…read morepretty obvious. Let's start with my salad, which was a mixed green salad with shrimp. First of all the Bass salad was all lettuce with three sliced canned black olives. Not a whole olive three slices of one olive. Maybe three or four sliver of red onion. There's almost no dressing and it was absolutely bland. I ordered it with shrimp because I'm trying to stay heart healthy. In fact, usually when people order salads they are trying to eat healthy. When my food arrived, the shrimp were on a separate plate literally sitting in a half an inch of butter. They were obviously sautéed or prepared to shrimp scampi. I had to take some napkins to squeeze out the copious amount of butter that was on the shrimp. Not withstanding the unhealthy nature of it, and all the years I've had shrimp on a salad. I have never had something as strange as shrimp scampi as the topping for a salad. My son got the penne, vodka pasta. A dish he orders very regularly from restaurants. Like others have commented, it was very bland. The sauce did not stick. The bread that was included was the most basic uninspiring tasteless bread that could've been provided. For the record, I picked this place against my son's wishes. The ambience and reviews seemed like this was going to be a great restaurant. And while we were waiting for our food, I could not stop raving on the atmosphere and what appeared to be a great kitchen. However, obviously my experience was the polar opposite. With so many great restaurants around I would stay away.

Staff was accommodating and changed for a night that worked best. Did the prefix dinner and a show with the wine and n/a pairing. Absolutely recommend. Paella - 10/10 the sauce? Yes. Salmon - perfectly cooked 10/10 Duck confit - recommend (a little kick but must try, I promise) 10/10 Korean fried chicken - ufff delish 10/10 Dessert: Banana Tart? - Mm hmm that was my fave - there is a sesame crisp I believe that was excellent on that dessert. Tried to get everything - recommend. :) you will enjoy a beautiful night with good food and great music.

A special night out with incredible live jazz…read more I've lived in Colorado for 4 years and can't believe it took me this long to experience Nocturne. I went on a Friday night with my mom I'd just gotten my hair done and wanted to do something fun, a little fancy, and different from the usual dinner spot. It absolutely delivered. First: parking in RiNo is rough. Plan ahead. My reservation was at 8:30 PM and I arrived almost 45 minutes early just looping the area. Eventually found street parking but give yourself time so you're not stressed walking in. The exterior is beautiful mural artwork, elegant entrance, very polished. Once inside, you're greeted, there's coat check and the entire space feels intimate and elevated without being stuffy. It's romantic but not pretentious. I'd go here for a date, a birthday, or just to treat someone special. We did the three-course prix fixe experience (around $150 per person, 25% gratuity included -- that's required for reservations). It felt worth it for the full experience. Food highlights: * I tried the steak tartare for the first time. raw beef and egg, served in a crispy potato nest. Very outside my comfort zone, but beautifully presented and well executed. * My mom had the grilled octopus and loved it. * For entrées, I ordered the Branzino (10/10) and she had the duck she raved about it. * The risotto was slightly underdone but not enough to ruin the dish. * Dessert was a passionfruit tarte. very tart and tangy (true to its name!). * For my birthday, they surprised us with a vanilla dessert that was honestly incredible. Also worth mentioning: their non-alcoholic options are phenomenal. I had the "Kitten Heels" mocktail (10/10), and their non-alcoholic rosé genuinely tasted like the real thing. As someone who appreciates thoughtful zero-proof options, this stood out. The live music was the star of the night. The performers were incredibly talented! the vocals, the breath control, the instrumentation! it felt immersive. The only thing I'll say is the crowd was a little low-energy. My mom and I were the only ones really moving in our seats, tapping along, enjoying it visibly. I wanted more people to feel it! Overall, this is a beautiful spot for live jazz, elevated dining, and a romantic or celebratory night out. If you love cultural, artsy experiences and live music, this is absolutely worth it. I'll definitely be back.

As someone else stated, their cacio e pepe is soooo over peppered, over salted & gritty. Apps on happy hour were just ok. Drinks are just ok & not worth $9 (mind blowing that Italian gin + tonic would go for more w/o HH). That Marsala dish had almost zero marsala cream which is crazy work if you're gonna call it a Marsala. Breaded chicken added onto any dish w/no seasoning in the breading?! Just odd. Advised cashier who took order one dish we'd like to split & was told "oh yah, we can just get you a spoon for that" instead of simply typing into your POS 'SPLIT' so your guest is not sitting there waiting for new share plates & oh yah, a second go around for kitchen staff to bring a spoon. Work smarter, not harder. What really did it over the top this dining "experience" for me & my family was the male bartender. Let's just sidebar for a moment too--where's the personality & humor in 'hospitality' nowadays?! Apparently, my mums joke about "filling it to the top" went right over this guys head because he decided to be flat out rude to us after dropping apps even going as far as to mock me saying "tHaNk YoU" in a condescending, nasty way & then throwing a serving spoon down...WOAH. Who knows if he was conversing with his coworker about our table specifically but all 3 of us heard him talking about "just non industry people" which is soooo comical because my husband was a chef for 14 years but go off, fam! Not to mention I worked FOH in Las Vegas for a decade. & look guys, I know what you're gonna say! Well, you do it yourself then if you can do it better & do you know what?! We usually do haha but this place is sentimental for my mother who was happy to go because it reminded her of her late husband (my dad, who passed 3 years ago). The crazy part that's worth writing is I think us humans have forgotten that everyone is struggling with this & that & we are all just trying our best to get by. This used to be my favorite part about working in a restaurant: giving your guest a POSITIVE, UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE to escape life's struggles. Somewhere where you can go & spend your hard earned dollars & FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT but also to forget said struggles of your day or even your life! Antywayssss, 3 years later, no way this restaurant is being recommended for a Michelin Star nowadays. Go somewhere else for housemade pasta.
