The BEST chicken parm I have had in years . Cheese was perfect, great portions and the best marinara . I regret not buying a pint to go . We got it with angel hair instead of Spaghetti, and the Angel hair was cooked perfectly. They also offered freshly grated parmesan which made it more delicious . The restaurant was super clean , like every inch of it was shining . And every page of each menu was pristine. Though I'm all about eating in a dingy hole in the wall due to being born and raised in NYC , the extra cleanliness slaps back to my ocd ha ! The waitress Gloria was lovely , and you can see the kitchen chef from the tables , and he was lovely as well. Literally one of the best meals i've had in all of Colorado the few years I have lived here . My mouth is watering thinking about it after the fact . Lastly , the dish came with some lovely real garlic 🧄 knots with actual roasted garlic pieces . Also , though I don't have food allergies , I really appreciate the allergy information on the table . I'm never in Aurora, but will have to come back just to eat here again . Absolute Perfection .

Reminded me of an old NYC Italian joint. Almost expected to have a 3 story walk-up above it. Very small intimate (6 tables) restaurant that if I'm honest if recommend a touch less lighting at night (had the bright convenience store lighting) but alas GO for the food not the lighting and you will leave as happy a clam. Very very good entrees. Homemade Meat Lasagna - Fantastic. Nice portion (could be shared by 2 lite diners) and quite flavorful. Highly recommended Penne Alla Vodka Sauce- might be the very best vodka sauce in the state. Medium sized portion (not enough to split) Mozzarella sticks - skip this unless your a fan of generic (I'm betting Sysco or Restaurant depot) mozzarella. Drinks -Moscow mule was very good but if we are getting technical it was missing mint. Aperol Spritz - Very good if not a bit strong but that's hard to complain about

Completely unexpected! The food was authentic and so delicious, staff were cheerful and happy to share their talent with the patrons. I figured we hit the jackpot when we walked in at 4:45 on a Saturday evening and most of the tables had a reserved sign on them. We did!! If we lived in the area, we would be regulars!!

Beautiful small family owned and operated restaurants. The food was fantastic 😋 the Pizza even better. And the Garlic Knots Lord have Mercy!! You won't be disappointed. On the higher end for pricing.
