50 Best Italian Restaurants near Englewood

“Visiting from florida. Took our son and his girlfriend out last night for her birthday. They say this is their favorite restaurant. The food was beyond amazing and the desserts were delicious! We also had the most awesome server. I wish I got his name, but he has black hair and a goatee. Great sense of humor and made the night awesome. Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Atmosphere has a pleasant and comfortable bistro feel. The service was excellent in every way. The food was true Italian, great lasagna and linguine. Presentation was refined but not foo foo. Deserts divine, tiramisu and lemoncello cake top shelf. Casual family dining or date night, they’ve got you covered.“

“The food is amazing! Our waitress was awesome as well. The only thing that left a sour taste in our mouth was the manager making it seem like we’re being rushed. I made a reservation a week earlier and when we showed up there was barley anyone there, the manager or owner or who ever she is said we had 1 hour and a half at max to finish our meal. This establishment is definitely not a turn and burn. If I’m spending over 25 dollars a plate I’m going to enjoy it with the feel or want to be rushed. That being said the food and our waitress definitely did not disappoint!“

“This is by far one of the very best dining experiences anyone can enjoy. The food is plentiful, served hot, delicious and cooked to perfection. You are always greeted by a polite staff member who makes you feel like family.“

“Great night out at Maggiano's. Food was excellent, atmosphere was great and Hayden was the best!!“

“Our server was delightful. He had great recommendations and was lively and knowledgeable about the menu. Food was amazing and served quickly, but not too quickly. Only minor issues would be we sat too close to the door which made for some chilly breezes. Otherwise it was a wonderful experience.“

“The food was good, zero complaints there. But wow is it expensive. Nearly $50 for a meat lovers pizza? lol nuts.. we ordered a lot for a work event and good thing work was paying.. their pizza prices are bonkers. Didn’t expect that for a small chain place- this ain’t downtown Times Square…“

“I’d give more stars if I could! The food is fantastic, uses high quality ingredients, and always prepared with care. Our particular favorites are Not Yo’ Momma’s Margherita, Fried Chicken Sandwich, and Italian Sandwich. The manager and her staff are a pleasure to interact with, and this will be one of the few places we’ll miss from Colorado. Thank you for doing such a great job feeding us, and we’ll definitely be back if we’re ever in the state again 💜“

“Great pizza! I love how the crust wasn’t burned or over baked. I thoroughly enjoyed my Brooklyn pizza! I highly recommend this place! I will be a returning customer!“

“Wonderful server! Matthew was attentive, made great and helpful suggestions and added a great element to our dining experience. we ordered focaccia and roasted garlic for the table and the bread serving was really small, and the warm olives were great. Salad was excellent, as was the desserts, but we found the Carbonara pasta wasn't quite cheesy/eggy enough for our taste. Nevertheless we enjoyed dinner and appreciated the excellent service.“

“Everything is fabulous!!!“

“Great food. A must when your in Denver“

“Ordered drinks, waiter returned for order, appetizers arrived, no drinks, server said bartender was busy, drinks came halfway through appetizers, gave us bill and dessert at same time, no acknowledgement of birthday… made a deal of checking beforehand“

“Great Food and friendly staff!“

“It is a fairly different concept for ordering and seating so just be prepared. It would probably move quicker if the food sucked but it’s amazing and that’s why there is a crowd. It’s worth it and the food does come out pretty fast. The pricing was fantastic for the value as well.“

“Fantastic food (we had the lobster ravioli special) and great service!“

“‘Na Favola is amazing, truly authentic Italian food - just like in Rome! Take my (roman) word for it! Daniele, Silvio and Co: Daje!!!!“

“A wonderful place. The food is exceptionally delicious—not just tasty, but absolutely amazing. The staff is very polite, and the atmosphere is lovely.“

“I have hearing loss. I asked for I quiet table. The management was TERRIFIC in accommodating my needs; I was offered the choice of three tables. The service was excellent too. Our entrees were well prepared, especially the Pollo all Milanese. The entire evening was a pleasure, thank you to the Venice service and kitchen staff“

“Family owned. Traditional menu. Fabulous desserts. Friendly staff.“

“Amazing food! Amazing atmosphere! The staff is always great, accommodating, and helpful with pronouncing the names of the food on the menu. If you’re looking for an authentic Italian food experience, Il Forno Di Tutti is the place for you!“

“I just had the butternut squash ravioli and it was amazing!! I might come back tomorrow and have it all over again 🤩“

“This is my favorite restaurant! The food has a sensuous and complex flavor profile while also being rustic Italian. You will not find a better pomodoro sauce anywhere unless your grandma is from Italy and has a long held family recipe. The pasta is hand made and has a perfect texture and amazing flavor with the sauce. The house made buratta is the freshest, creamiest and thickest you’ll enjoy outside of select NYC restaurants that are famous for making their own mozzarella, ricotta or buratta. And the staff treat their guests like they’ve invited you into their own home. Jessica was amazing! All together, going to Luca’s is like getting the perfect big warm hug.“

“Intimate restaurant that serves delicious food. The servers Josh & Schafer are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The service is phenomenal! Bettola catered a party for me and did a spectacular job!“

“I love this place! Fresh food, absolutely delicious, friendly staff, and a welcoming atmosphere. Beyond 5 stars!“

“Wow! The food was so insanely good it made me want to lick the plate clean, every bite was worth savoring. The whole vibe is effortlessly cool, with an atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. What really sealed the deal was the customer service. The owner was down to earth, friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcome. If you're anywhere near the area, do yourself a favor and stop by Bar Red. You’ll walk out already planning your next visit.“

“Amazing food! Fantastic seasonal options! A hidden gem of Denver.“

“We had a fantastic experience at Venice! We’ve lived in Denver for 20 years and we never knew this place existed. Great atmosphere and the food was amazing, so authentic! We went with our 3 kids (13, 10 and 10), they ordered off the kids menu and loved the fettuccini Alfredo. The service was excellent, and our server, Gillian was on point. I can’t say enough good things about him. We will most definitely be back. I would recommend this place to anyone. This place is really nice and intimate feeling. Great for a date night or a family dinner, so long you have well behaved kids who love good food.“

“So delicious The food and wine and dessert were fantastic“

“Birthday lunch with my parents was great. Service was on point and so personal (they brought my mom a dessert with a candle!) We had pasta, sandwich and pizza and all were delicious. Atmosphere was happy, decorative, and just a fun and lively place. Will back many more times.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10
Awesome pizza spot right off Colfax! Super yummy, flavorful pizza with fresh toppings and a perfectly cooked crust. The salad was just as good—fresh, crisp, and well balanced. Everything tasted high quality and made with care. Definitely a go-to spot when you’re craving great pizza. Highly recommend! 🍕🥗🔥“

“The pizza (we had Roma and the new one with bleu cheese- can't think of the name) were absolutely fabulous!!! So delicious!! Even the smells from the food was fantastic. The service was amazing too - everyone working there was friendly and seemed intent on making sure everyone felt welcome. Our server, Rainey, was professional, friendly, and took great care of us. I highly recommend Gusto! We WILL be back!“

“My husband and I had lunch here, and we were pleasantly surprised by how delicious everything is. While we expected it to be good just based on the ratings, the fast service, order-at-the-counter model threw us because all of the food could have been served in a high end restaurant. There is plenty of seating and food came out very fast.

We shared the caprese and the house salads, the tortellini Alfredo, and a 10” create-your-own pizza, and each dish was delicious and we had enough to enjoy leftovers. We’ve already decided this will become our go-to pizza place moving forward.

Don’t forget the gelato on the way out.

We look forward to going again.“

“I just had the butternut squash ravioli and it was amazing!! I might come back tomorrow and have it all over again 🤩“

“Been here many times. The old owners are now gone. The new owners straight from Europe The Giaqnni family has changed the plate ware, expanded wine and beer, same chef's and are starting a lunch menu and they say soon a breakfast menu. I had 15 for dinner Saturday night. Food great, fun and wait staff engaging. Owners visited as well. You will like the new settings.“

“Our visit last night was not the experience I was hoping for. We have gone to Amici's for years. Our first time was way back when they were still at 53rd. and Sheridan. I had the eggplant parmesan, which was very good. I don't know if the kitchen staff changes, or what? The eggplant portion was very small, three slices of eggplant the size of a silver dollar.“

“As a traveler, it's rare to find a spot where both the food and service are so good that you want to come back the very next day, but that's exactly how we felt about Jimmy's. Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of parking, this place delivers. The staff was welcoming, the atmosphere relaxed, and every dish we tried felt thoughtfully made. Indoor and outdoor seating options make it even more inviting. If you're looking for quality Italian food that feels like money well spent, Jimmy’s is it. Must try the Banana Fosters for dessert.“

“Food was great, Service was great, but trying to get around and park was a total mess. Don't like the location. Castle Rock folks can have it to themselves.

Parking: The area it is located in is just a mess for traffic and getting around. The circle drives cause a lot of issues.“

“We moved away 14 years ago. Tonight we had a chance to visit Angie's and were so pleased that it is still the same delicious food, great service, and welcoming atmosphere. Gosh, we've missed you, Angie's! So good to see co-owner Jen, too!“

“Great customer service! Nice welcome when you head in and positive attitude. Pizza was ready in less than 10 min for carry out. It was delicious with great toppings and perfect cheesiness! Absolutely love their pizza for any occasion.“
