“Food is always delicious! The pizzas are really good and remind me of a pizza I had while on vacation in Northern Italy. The service is consistently good. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and we especially enjoy sitting on the patio during the summer.“

“Carmine's is a treasure. This was out first time there on a recommendation from good friend. She said the tiramisu is supposed good and was she right. We also had the baked lasagna that was delicious. We'll be back for sure. Thanks Carmine's!“

“The pizza is just the same as it always was, delicious. The staff is friendly, but it's not table service - it's more casual. The walls are bright white, and it looks sterile. Overall, it's great if you can adjust your expectations. Would recommend.“

“The first time I heard of them was from their catering for a charity benefit that I attended. For me that's always a plus that they are involved in their local community, but their bruschetta was really good. I've ordered delivery since and it was also really good. I'll have to dine in at some point.“

“Such a treasure!!! From the minute you walk in the door you feel so welcome!!!So glad to have you in the neighborhood. Here’s to you Amanda, Chris and staff!So great watching you grow.. such a lovely setting. The food is fabulous! But above all is your customer service!!! You’re simply the BEST!Keep going. Love your new tablecloth’sCheer’s .Sean and Beth“

“The Venice Italian Restaurant is a must visit. The menu is loaded with amazing options and the Venice team is attentive and friendly. I enjoyed the Pappardelle con Cinghiale and tiramisu, while other members of our party loved the Bolognese and Lasagne. Reservations are easy through the online portal. Enjoy!“

“Great locally owned pizza place that has charm for days. Big Bill’s looks like what you want a hidden gem, hole in the wall pizza place to look like - lots of old dark wood, booths for seating (with lots of people dining in), has a great mural on the wall in memory of 9/11, you can see people making your food and the staff is really friendly.Our pizza had a great flavor. It was well made and the ingredients tasted fresh. Nothing about it (or the business itself) is exceptionally fancy, but everything was solidly good.Families and foodies alike, if you’re looking for fresh ingredients without the fuss, this is your stop. And be sure to try their homemade meatballs and cheesecake - both are delish.Vegetarian options: Vegetables tasted freshParking: It’s in a strip mall with plenty of parking in the lot.Kid-friendliness: I brought our toddler in and she immediately asked if we could eat in. It has such an inviting and warm atmosphere. I saw a lot of families with children dining in. We’ll definitely be back and eat there.“

“Service was superb and the waiter was very attentive. The food seasoning was excellent with the perfect balance of flavors on the pizza. We had the white mushroom pizza and the meat lovers pizza. The waiter made an excellent recommendation for the spinach cheese dip. There were so many options on the menu we will be back. Great atmosphere because it was elegant but versatile. You could go for a nice dinner date, family occasion or business meeting. It wasn’t too loud when we got there and there is ample parking near by.Parking: There’s a nice well lit parking garage 2-3 min walk“

“Growing up whenever we made trips back to visit our family in a small town in Illinois, we would always do a low key dinner with all the aunts, uncles and cousins from an restaurant that did spaghetti by the bucket. It was a great way to feed the huge group and I have great memories from that. I was very excited to see that experience coming here to Denver and it did not disappoint. My wife couldn't say enough about how nice the owner was when we picked up our order, the kids love spaghetti and meatballs, and who doesn't like a loaf of buttery garlic bread?! This is definitely going to be on our repeat list, especially when we have our kids friends and families over for a bigger meals, simple, delicious and very easy!“

“Angelo’s is my husband and my favorite restaurant. We always choose Angelo’s for our special occasions. The atmosphere, the service and the food are incredible consistent, the managers are amazing and the food is incredible! It’s a solid 40th min drive for us, but absolutely worth it every single time. Justin, the manager and Erik, our server tonight were phenomenal. Every time we leave, we rave about how wonderful our experience was. We love Angelo’s!“

“Hands down the best calzone I've ever had.It was the perfect amount of crust, most places do you dirty and make them so bready, this place doesn't. Their unsweetened tea was on point. Only wonky thing is you have to walk thru the kitchen for some seating, but it was kind of cool walking thru the action.“

“My wife and I have eaten at Bettola Bistro a couple of times and were thoroughly impressed. The food was excellent both times and the service we had from Josh was just as good. The Chicken Parmesan and Pesto Grilled Salmon were fantastic. We highly recommend this for an intimate, delicious dining experience!“

“I asked for a quiet table on the bar side of the restaurant. The main dining room was quite noisy and full. Food was fabulous and beautifully presented. The staff is incredibly kind and friendly. Will be returning for sure when I'm in town.“

“Absolutely a winner of the first plate club. We had been meaning to try for a while now and finally got the chance. Upon entering, it was a little dark, but honestly I don't mind that. It creates an atmosphere of seclusion at your individual table.The menu is short but robust. Honestly, this kind of quick meal and drink place, but with table service is what I love. Give me a cheese board, but then take it real seriously...YES. We all love lunchables still right? This takes it to a whole new level. We also got the meatballs which were a nice compliment to the "Table Board." And of course the wine list rounds everything out.Then you have the service. Let me tell you, Elise is the kind of server that makes going out so enjoyable. Jovial, attentive, encouraging, and knowledgeable. An all around great human being.The cherry on the top was honestly that the pricing was reasonable. Everything's more expensive and we are not complaining about any of that. But comparatively for the type of food we're getting, we felt like this was a very reasonable price and exactly what we were looking to pay.My partner and I both agree that we need to come back and start eating our way through the menu. We honestly can't wait :-).“

“Lubo's is the neighborhood go-to for non-chain pizza & Italian food. The pizza is New York thin or Sicilian thick. The sauce is tasty, and the pizzas are cooked to perfection. The garlic knots are delicious, and the fried mozzarella sticks are yummy. The vibe is very laid back and informal, so there is no need to dress up. We will be back to try the pastas next time.“

“The food, the staff, and atmosphere was awesome fork start to finish! Liked the the drinks, the pizzas, the fettuccine Alfredo, the dessert, the staff, and vibe of this place! The Chicken Alfredo had the perfect amount of thickness and was absolutely delicious, the raviolis were yummy, and the pizzas were great! Get the Chocolate Soufflé as a dessert as well. Overall, highly recommend for Italian food!“

“My second trip to Oliver's. The food was as outstanding as it was the first time. Love the Happy Hour prices on wine. The Pasta Limone was bursting with flavor. The right amount of lemon. The eggplant dip appetizer was delicious. We finished off with a tiramisu - rich and creamy and wonderful. I can't wait to go back.“

“So so good! The pasta is ok, but the pizza!The pizza here is the closest thing to a true Italian pizza crust I’ve found so far in the States. The Digirolomo is where it’s at: pepperoni, peperoncini, Gorgonzola, mozzarella.Oh man…The people take the cake, though. Everyone we have ever interacted with has been so amazing. They consistently go above and beyond.Seriously. If you haven’t gone to check them out yet, here’s your sign. You won’t be sorry!Kid-friendliness: $2 kids meals all day every day“

“This is the best place I have eaten in Aurora hands down. The staff was amazing very attentive and kind. Both of the wines we got were phenomenal, we got the calamari for our appetizer and it was perfectly crunchy on the outside, all of the meals had such a good mix of flavors, and the deserts were to die for. I will definitely be returning!“

“We just happened upon Joyce’s on our exploration of the area. I grew up in NYC and can be a bit snobby about pizza. Joyce’s did not disappoint! It was true NYC style pizza! It was terrific! I believe it was Joyce, herself, that we talked to. Very nice experience all around. Next time I am in the Denver area, I’m definitely stopping in for a slice!“

“I’ve tried other pizza joints, and they’re good, sometimes. Colonna’s is always good. The same core crew of guys have been there a while. That says something. They’re good at their job and they care. I’m done ordering from other places.“

“Please visit this beautiful and delicious Italian restaurant soon! The atmosphere is warm and very inviting. Ask if Linda is waiting tables. She is delightful and has a thousand watt smile. The menu is diverse and you have a fantastic choice of perfectly cooked pasta and traditional Italian dishes. If you need a hostess gift, pick up a bottle of limoncello, cookies or a bottle of their house made pasta sauce. The baked items will make you smile.“

“Second time visiting and just like the last time everything was delicious!! Every appetizer every side and every main course was highly rated by my family and friends (party of 10). Can’t wait until my next visit. Staff also let us have a mini baby shower and took photos for us as well.“

“This was our first time trying Farro Italian and we were very happy. The food was REALLY good and we will be going back. Reservations are recommended for a Friday evening and I was so glad I made them. Highly recommend! It was a good casual date night.“

“This is the kind of olace you spend years looking for when you're a food lover in a new area.Pasta and Sauces made from SCRATCH! All OG recipes. It was sooo Satisfying to eat. I work in the industry and these are the TRUE gems of a city. A restaurant fueled by a love of food l, shown through simply delicious recipes, created by Hard working people.I will be back many times“

“In our quest to find excellent pizza, we came across Portofino's in Parker. New York style crust and made from scratch, the margherita pizza and Greek salad meet with additional from both of us. But we were also enchanted by the seasonal cocktail, the Blackberry Sidecar. It was refreshing and had the perfect blend of blackberry sweetness and bourbon. The cannoli we had for dessert was fantastic. We were delighted to find a full menu of Italian entrees, and really can't wait to go back. Big plus: Coke products! Wine list and full bar. Outdoor seating, too.“

“go on Wednesday, for half price. we got the pepperoni deluxe deep dish and it well exceeded expectations. this is the prefect follow up to taco Tuesday. service there is fast and super super good. tab was 22 and change for 2 drinks and a premium deep dish 16". my jaw hit the floor and I left a good tip. this place rules.“

“Nonna's is solid! We have actually been wanting to come here for years. Denver doesn't have the best Italian, especially on the SE side of Denver. Nonna's was a refreshing change to mediocre Italian. It exceeded our expectations with the food, service, and atmosphere! Since food is what we value the most, here's what we found. The calamari and stuffed mushrooms were spot on. Perfectly fried calamari and delicious stuffed mushrooms. 5/5. The bread that comes out was toasted versus soft. Since it came out with oil and vinegar, our preference would be softer bread to soak up the mixture. The bread was the only thing we didn't love. 3/5. We ordered the lasagna and the prosciutto-wrapped chicken with linguine. The chicken was very good, but the linguine stole the show. 4.5/5. I would give the lasagna a 6/5 if I could! Simply a must have! Everything about it was perfect! Overall, Nonna's is the best Italian in Denver. It was a great experience. We'll definitely be back! 5/5!“

“Absolute best meatballs in Denver that I have found so far!!! I mean with a name like Meatballs you would expect they do it right, boy do they. Delicious! Can't wait to go back.I had the beef meatballs with marinara sauce and the mac and cheese. That's what's in the photo. I meant to take a photo before I bit into it, but it was so good and I was so hungry what can I say. ?2nd trip was just as good!!!Parking: Easy in and out of parking lot and fast access to I-25. I like the convenience.“

“Googled best restaurants in Castle Rock and this one came up. We had fried mushrooms and garlic bread for an appetizer and they were delicious. My brother and sister-in-law had the chicken marsala and they said it was absolutely delicious too. I had the penne pasta vodka with meatballs and talk about a huge serving! I was able to take enough home for two more meals. Oh, and it was fabulous! We were totally impressed with the food and the service! They got a calzone to go to and it was huge! Highly recommend and we will be back!Parking: It was a bit hard to find as there was not a large sign up high, only the sign on the door.“

“Service and food were great and the atmosphere fits the menu perfectly. Location is off the beaten path. We were traveling from GJ and found this on Trip Advisor and are glad we did! Family feel. Great taste. Great service. Son loved chicken parm sandwich and fries. I loved the special ground beef spaghetti with a little spice but so flavorful. I can’t wait to share this place with my other family members. Five stars!“

“One of my favorite pizza spots in town and my friend’s favorite when he comes to visit (Italian restaurant owner from GA). They use tipo 00 flour which doesn’t bother a lot of people with gluten issues (they have a gluten free pizza too) and they have buffalo mozzarella as an option too (which also doesn’t bother a lot of people with dairy issues). Great pizza overall regardless what issues or not you have ?.“

“When I walked into Mici, I was immediately greeted with this lovely girl at the front! She politely asked me how my day was and took my order. She truly made my dine in experience amazing and made Mici my new favorite Italian place! I believe her name is Taylor. Taylor, if you are reading this, you rock!! 10/10 will be returning.“

“The food was incredible and the service was excellent and fast! The specials get you garlic knots, salad and soup. Well worth the price!Kid-friendliness: Kids menu had a good selection. We got the pizza and it was huge, filled up our little one“

“My wife and I love this place. We went there again last week on a Friday at about 2:30. the place was relatively empty, service was prompt. I had their lasagna. I told them that their lasagna was the only restaurant lasagna that I believe is actually better than mine at home. That's actually a true statement. I make a pretty good lasagna. My wife went with a salmon dish. As always, both were great. We spent just a bit over $100 with two drinks and a dessert. Very decent pricing.There was only one small glitch. They still offer that "buy another entre to go" for six bucks or so. I ordered a dish to take home. When the server came back to the table at the end of the meal, she brought that fairly large bag with the leftover lasagna and part of the (four part) dessert. When we got home it turned out that the take home lasagna wasn't in it. Major league "oops."That's really a pretty minor beef in an otherwise great lunch.“

“This place exceeded our expectations. We ordered pick up right before close. The staff were waiting for me when I got there, & I was greeted with nothing but kindness & gratitude. It feels like they genuinely care about the business & really try to do right by their customers. Then, the food -- so reasonably priced, delicious, all carefully homemade with high quality ingredients, & more than I could eat! No kidding. First time in a while we felt like we genuinely got our money's worth from a restaurant.Give these guys your business, call well in advance before close, & tip generously. They deserve it.?“

“It’s an Olive Garden of course it’s amazing. But the staff were the best part. We came pretty late but it wasn’t like about to close it was 9 and they closed at 10 but this place was empty. There were only like 7 more people sitting down and eating and most of them were finished. The staff weren’t like “ughhhh (tired noises) what do you wantt ughhhh” they were actually talking KIM! Kim wasn’t a good experience she was yelling on the floor and going crazy and then she took off her pants and threw them at some guy then she smashed plates and stuff but that’s off topic. The food, I don’t have to explain of course it’s good. Atmosphere was like any other Olive Garden an Italian theme. But I’m telling you if you want good service come here. If you want to experience Kim also come here but mostly the serviceKid-friendliness: They were super kind to my youngest brother“

“I ordered the vegetarian calzone, my boyfriend ordered a pizza with customization. I was disappointed with my calzone; there was marinara sauce on the inside, which made it soggy (in addition to lots of moisture from the vegetables). So it pretty much fell apart because the thin dough was soggy. I ended up picking out the fillings and eating those dipped in the marinara on the side. I don't think sauce is supposed to be in a calzone, so I'd recommend the restaurant revisit this decision. My boyfriend liked his pizza. I wish there was a custom pizza option to make what I'd like on a pizza. I don't know if I'd give this place another go at this time. Rating is blended on our experiences.Vegetarian options: Limited vegetarian options.“

“I am shocked that this place is a take out/delivery only kitchen, considering how good the quality is! We ordered The Astoria, a Meatball Ricotta pizza, and baklava. The pizzas were of a very generous size, the toppings were prepared with care and well balanced. The baklava was genuine Greek quality, not the sticky honey attempt a lot of other places do, but instead was a balanced cinnamon apple dessert. The quality and flavors were top notch. This place deserves to have a full restaurant. This is our new favorite place.“

“Has been one of my favorite pizzas places worked across the street from them for the longest time and would always grab at least 2 slices, but I have thoroughly enjoyed everything I have ever ordered. Service is always great and there are far and few times where they are not steady busy but still make sure their customers are well taken care of.“

“Always a great experience when we come here. The food is fresh and delicious and the staff is very friendly and helpful. This is probably the only place that my kids and husband can all agree on when we decide we want to eat out ?Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly. Offers kids meals for $2 with purchase of adult meal.“

“Genuinely incredible food. Their hot sandwiches have some of the best sauce I’ve had. The service was also great from an incredibly nice woman behind the counter. Atmosphere is what would be expected from an east coast deli.Cannot stress this enough, they have the best sandwiches in the Denver area.“

“I ordered the Italian, it was good. My son ordered the Meatball sub. It came with 4 big meatballs. My only complaint was that the bread was hard. We ate kind of late so the bread was probably not as fresh as it would be for lunch. The gentleman behind the register was super nice and answered all of our questions. Would definitely go back and try again.“

“We had a fabulous anniversary dinner at Gabriel's last night. The succulent lamb was the highlight of our 3-course dinner in The Old House, and it was cooked to perfection. Another plus was our server Vera, who was so knowledgeable and pleasant. She helped make this such a special evening!“

“This was our first visit to Zane's and it was quite good! Ranking it a 5 star not just because of the food, but the overall service and atmosphere were very comfortable.We split a salad and a small BBQ Chicken Pizza. The server was nice enough to have them split the salad into two bowls without us even asking.The BBQ Chicken pizza was good! I feel bbq pizza can go wrong, pretty fast but this one had a great sauce, the chicken tasted like chicken, and the caramelized onions were amazing.The breadsticks to the table were a nice touch and very good.Looking forward to going back!“

“A legendary stop if you're near Denver University. My family members love all of the toppings on their hot dogs but the classic hot dog with ketchup and mustard is just as good in my book. It's affordable, timely, and a hole in the wall gem. It's also located near an insomnia cookies location that adds for another delicious treat! Mustards last stand is deemed many Littleton and Denver natives favorite hot dog.“

“I don't hit this place as much as I should. I've always had really great experience with the staff, they're always super friendly, the food is good, prices are fine, good atmosphere as well, definitely an underrated restaurant in the area!“

“I been In Parker for over 45 years and let me tell you I had pizza all over Parker Co the best tasting is Tonti's Family run one of the son's is running it and He is good at what he do's . So go have the New York Pizza best ever.“

“Do not make the mistake of underestimating this place! Their food and service is performing on the level of the best restaurants in Denver. We had one of the best meals here we’ve had in a long time and we frequent all the trendiest, most hyped up places like el five, safta, and work and class. Do yourself a favor and get in now before they blow up and you can’t get a reservation for 6 months!“
