AMAZING!! From one Michelin-recommended restaurant to another, this was a phenomenal experience. Nick took such great care of us from start to finish. He was so knowledgeable about the wine and food, so attentive and personable. The food was delicious, creative, gastronomy-inspired but not gimmicky. Flavorful and perfectly portioned tasting menu. Will return!

We have been eating at Barolo Grill for over 25 years and have become increasingly disappointed by the food, atmosphere and overall standards maintained by current ownership. To be fair, the food we tasted Saturday was fine, not great, at least in comparison to the high standards once maintained by former owner Blair Taylor. If you are actually taking your staff to Italy every summer, why does the menu not scream Italian? Instead, Barolo's menu has become more muddled and less regionally defined. That's too bad, because Barolo was once known for excellent elevated Italian fare. Also, during recent past visits we also noticed the atmosphere has diminished with an increase in ballcap wearing diners. Saturday, two "gentlemen" with ballcaps, one worn backwards, sat near us lending a sporting event air to the fine dining experience. If that's what we wanted in our night out, we would have gone to Chipolte. Note to owner: A worthy nearby competitor, Le Bilboquet, ensures their dining experience with better food and a sign at the entrance instructing customers to remove all hats upon entering.

Insane service levels. Amazing dedicated staff. Awesome restaurant story.Food is next level. Worth the price. Anything on the menu is golden. The menu tasting sampler for $95 is a great option for a 4 course meal.Note on the risotto, it is RICH. We got a large portion for the table, and we were not able to finish it. It’s so good, but there is such thing as too much of a good thing.The dessert menu if just as amazing as the mains. Don’t skip it!

Seriously a five star experience for some I am sure. Just a little too fancy for me. I have had better food and cocktails. Also, the vibe just isn’t what I expected.Dietary restrictions: Great gluten free options

Very good bread, the parmigiano souffle was amazing, loved the Aglonotti del plin! Do not skip the desserts!My only complaint was the truffles. They must be stored for some time before serving, because there was NONE of the classic truffle taste or smell, and the charge for them was pretty high (x2). If you are going to order shaved truffles on a dish, just be aware they may or may not have what you are looking for, but the charge will stay the same!

I’m glad there’s still a restaurant that allows old, rich, and entitled people to bring their dogs to the dinner table. “Mikey” might be real nice and all, but I’m not paying $250 for a dog to drip his snot over the back of the booth next to me.

Was so excited to finally get to use the gift certificate from my step-daughter as a Christmas gift. I opted for the degustazione menu option and it did not disappoint! I also chose the regular wine pairing option to accompany my meal. From the moment I was seated (as a solo diner, I opted for a seat at the bar), the service could not have been any better. I started with a slightly-dirty martini that was superb as I looked over the menu offerings. The dining experience started with the insalata d'inverno (warm salad of brussels spout leaves) - it was incredible, and would be my first choice upon a return visit. It was paired with a Roscetto Cotarella - a nice smooth wine reminiscent to me of a buttery chardonnay. For the primi piatti, I elected to go with the tagliatelle ai funghi. It was so hearty and tasty, it easily could be a meal in and of itself. The pairing with the Langhe Nebbiolo was quite nice. For the secondi piatti I went with the cassoulet ai frutti di mare. It was loaded with sizable portions of wonderfully prepared seafood with a superb flavor. That said, I admittedly enjoyed the tagliatelle more. I ended the evening with the panna cotta for dessert. I am not a fan of sweet wines, so my server switched the pairing to the incredible Daniele Conterno barolo. Definitely my favorite wine of the evening. All in all, I would absolutely return, confident that my next visit would be just as memorable.

What a wonderful meal. Our waitress started by asking what types of wine we liked and proceeded to give us several samples so we could choose the perfect wine. Then she explained all the meals in detail to help us decide on what to get. We all loved our meals the parmigiana soufflé was wonderful others had the beet salad and loved it as well. Second course we had a mushroom tagliatelle and risotto and for the main course we had the beef tenderloin cooked to perfection. The cheesecake was a great finisher. The courses were also timed perfect. We never felt rushed just perfect timing and wonderful service all around. We all would highly recommend and will be back.
Barolo Grill is still a solid choice, but it's not as good as I remembered. They put in a lot of tables, so it was very crowded on a Saturday evening. Very noisy. The wine list is among the best anywhere, and we got a fabulous bottle for a very reasonable price point ($68). The food was okay, but not stellar. The decor could use a face lift after 30 years. The waitstaff is extraordinary, among the best anywhere. So overall, solid, but cannot compete with the best in Denver/Boulder any more. Which is a shame.

Loved this restaurant. Our server Brooke was very cheery and attentive. We enjoyed the fireplace and ambiance. Just a little noisy. Best panna cotta ever!! And I don't usually eat desserts! Feels authentic.

Our experience at Barolo Grill was exceptional. Our waitress was very informative and explained the menu to our satisfaction. All of our choices of food tasted fantastic. They even gave a birthday dessert to our daughter at no charge. If you want to have a wonderful dinner, this is the place.

We came here for our anniversary and the food was superb but I was really grateful that the wait staff was very cognizant of the fact that I don’t drink alcohol. I only ordered one mocktail but they picked up pretty quickly that I don’t drink and had a surprise cherry cordial delivered for our anniversary - mine was delicious and non alcoholic :)That attention to detail made me feel really special and that’s not something a lot of places would do for you! Thank you!!
