We were able to book a last minute reservation on a Tuesday night. The food was awesome. We loved our waiter and he was incredibly hard working. The minestrone soup was some of the best I’ve ever had. I appreciated their vegetarian options. Overall, it was a lovely experience. The interior was well kept, and it felt like we had stepped into a true Italian restaurant. I highly recommend!

Food was clearly not fresh. When one of our dishes came out (a pasta with red sauce), some of the pasta was cold. Our server apologized and the food was taken back, but it was returned still not fully warm. We were told that sometimes the kitchen gets lazy at this time of night. The other dish (chicken piccata with mashed potatoes) was soaking sauce the consistency of water. For $30 an entre, I expect fresh food, not something lazily-microwaved. I don’t leave negative reviews lightly but this experience was truly bad.

Deborah sprout they put too much lemon on top of it. It was very nasty. If I could give it a zero I would. I am very disappointed coming to visit Denver for the first time I must say I am very disappointed I have had better. And the service or the waiter I must say he smell like he been drinking alcohol.

It was great food! A little bit of a crowded bar while waiting for the table but overall great experience. Everyone was super friendly, Griffin checked on us regularly and we really enjoyed the meal!

The menu sounded great but it was a miss. The mozzarella beet salad was good. The fried calamari was bland and not great. The bread and dipping sauce were good but so did not like my short rib ravioli entree. We're visiting from NY where authentic and Italian is easy to come by so someone who doesn't have access to good Italian might like this place

We had a nice time. The food was just ok. It felt and tasted that it was prepared the day before and warmed. The service was nice and accommodating. I would come back again for pizza or something at a lower price point.

We had a great experience here and would return in a heart beat! Food was amazing and our server was friendly and attentive. It was a busy Saturday night and he was always thanking us for our patience even though he was extremely prompt.

The food was excellent. The wait staff and hostess also good. Our problem, and we have never had this happen at a restaurant, we were seat about 20-25 minutes when our waitress came over to us and said we would either have to finish or move in another 20 minutes. Seems they were expecting a large party they wanted to seat in our location. The manager never came over to apologize or attempt to smooth things over. We are reasonable people. He sent the poor waitress who delivered the message I'm sure in the manner it was given to her. Manager didn't apologize just blamed the hostess. In fact I'm not sure what value this « manager » added. We accommodated them and moved between appetizers and main. And to add insult to injury the large party was much smaller than expected and we did not need to move. I'd suggest replacing the manager

Loved the place! Really nice Italian-themed decorations, a fountain in the middle of the dining area adds a nice ambiance as well. Food was tasty warm and delicious. Only complaint is that the server tried way too hard to upsell. They desperately wanted to refill my drink even though I had barely had any of it. Multiple communications of "no" also did not seem to carry over.

Decent food & drink. Cannelloni was good, not great. Margherita pizza good also. Mora Paloma drink tasty, but the Red Sangria was a bit off, not bad. Overall a bit pricey, although everything is these daze. I was impressed with the service:)

We made an Open Table reservation for 9pm and when we arrived after a 30 min drive they said they closed early and wouldn't honor our reservation. Very rude and dismissive of customers!

We loved this place and will go back again. The housemade mozzarella was great. I loved the special veal Marsala, which they may not have often. My sons enjoyed their dishes as well, although the one who had carbonara said it wasn't his favorite. However, we did spend over 3 years in Italy so there's that to contend with :)

Ordered the Cesar salad, Rotolo di Pasta, and Gnocchi Bolognese. Salad was overly dressed making it a little soggy. (Also, personal opinion - tomatoes do not belong on a Cesar salad). Rotolo di pasta was desperately needing salt and the lack of ricotta cheese made the filling very bitter. Also had ordered the Paloma cocktail which ended up just being primarily blackberry liqueur and I'm not sure if the tequila was added. Our server was lovely but took far too long to take orders, check on us, etc. Overall, everything was just okay. I liked the ambiance but it just didn't hold up with the menu. Not sure that I would go back on my own but wouldn't say no if someone invited me.
