A great go-to place in our neighborhood, outstanding food, the menu regular items are awesome, like the short-rib ravioli (!!!) but don't overlook the specials either! Some amazing dishes show up there too. The wine list is solid and reasonable without being overwhelming or off the charts expensive. Last but not least, the excellent service! Especially Lauren, she is attentive and able to run the entire bar side solo during the busiest time, all with a smile.

I ordered the short rib ravioli for takeout. When I opened the box there was a whopping 3.5 total very thin raviolis for $25. It may have been delicious but for that price I would have expected a larger portion, especially as my dinner. Oh, and the $12 house salad that comes with literally just mixed greens, shaved carrots, and a piece of tomato. What?! I called the restaurant to ask about the size of the ravioli and was told I would given a call back and of course that did not happen. Such a shame because I live across the street from this restaurant and the food is actually decent, but at the end of the day I spent $40 on some mixed greens and 3 total raviolis. For what the price of short rib is per pound, I would have expected at least 6 ounces in my meal but there is no way there was more than 3-4 ounces of meat. I won’t be back.

we've dined here on multiple occasions, and while their food is better than many places in Denver (which doesn't say much) the service is quite poor. I highly recommend avoiding anything with seafood as it tastes like they fished it from a swimming pool. The older gentleman servers are incredibly disrespectful, unless of course you decided to visit with a young lady. I get it that they're old Italian guys, but even my girl friend said "did you notice how he was staring at me and liking his lips? Maybe we should try to find a better Italian spot." Absolutely unacceptable.

Review Time!! Went local for dinner.. this amazing Italian Restaurant is hidden and has never been a disappointment!!! When we want a fancy dinner and have a reason to splurge we come here! This place is Michelin Star worthy! Romatic vibe, indoors lit up by the fire brick oven and candles on every table. Indoor/Outdoor open concept onto their lovely out door patio. Neighborhood locals all over, walking to the across Biergarten, Airplane Museum or Ice Cream Shop and renting a Tandem bike riding around. Great vibe!! Our waiter Matt was so personable and hilarious. His customer service was impeccable! Time for the food: We both decided to try something new this time, but my reason for going here is the memorable Gnocchi. I would drive hours to get this if I lived far. Best I've ever had! However, We started with a Bottle of Pinot Grigio ($44) and Bread w/Basalmic & Oil ($8). For Entreès We ordered the Braised Short Rib Ravioli in a Crimini Mushroom sauce ($24) and MY GOD if I ever imagined heaven in my mouth this IS IT!! We also ordered the Cioppino ($28) the brothy tomato sauce was so delicious, seafood so fresh and cooked to perfection. Nothing chewy or over cooked. Muscles, Clams, Octopus, Calamari, Shrimp and Fish danced in this broth with homemade spaghetti noodles. BOTH dishes so so so GOOD!! As if I could eat more, we finished with the Crème Brûlèe ($9).. BEST CELEBRATION DINNER EVER!!!! Thank you to our waiter Matt for making it a great experience!!

The food was very good. Couldn’t tell if our waitress hated us or was just having a bad day. We went to the bar after dinner for our dessert because waitress was nowhere and we wanted different service. She found us tho…

The meatballs! You have to try this place. Went during lunch and they did have a lunch menu. It was very quiet in the restaurant and our server was very good. Everyone at the table said their food was delicious, but the homemade meatballs in the gravy were to die for. I will definitely have to come back during dinner time.

Best Italian food in Denver hands down. Staff is kind and knowledgeable and the food is 10/10. Tastes authentic and is freshly made. The wait for food can be a little long but it is WELL worth the wait. Don’t forget to leave a little room for dessert too.

First time dining here and it will not be my last! A friend brought me here for the seafood. My salmon was awesome! And I've been thinking about the crème brûlee ever since. Would highly recommend. Dine in: Yes Outdoor seating: Yes Takeout: Yes Delivery: No Curbside pickup: Yes … More

Great Italian restaurant in near Lowry neighborhood. Has a large wine list and staff was very familiar with the wine inventory. My pappardelle with braised beef was delicious.
