Very disappointed in the service at parisi's when it comes to the personalities with the service management. I try to get attention to the bartender who's bald he was rude and wouldn't answer me because he was having a bad day according to the manager owner Christy. All I was requesting was some salt around my margarita glass and he added too muc salt. i he was just rude and arrogant. A waitress at parisi's ask me to leave because I was upset with the bald guy who was the bartender. He came out around the counter and also asked me to leave. when I tried to convey my service to Christy about the service at parisi's all she wanted to do is argue and take the side of the bartender. I will never return to this establishment again.

Heads up that there are two restaurants in the one building. The PARISI pizzeria is the top level and the PARISI Soto is down stairs. So you have to take the stairwell inside by the front door to get to PARISI Soto. The menu online seems to be outdated because the menu there had different dishes. My chicken/cauliflower was super good and my brothers seafood pasta was amazing. My mom's beef steak slices were......pretty not good but 2 out 3 isn't bad! A little expensive but worth it. We had 4 drinks, an appetizer, and 3 entrees for $220 P.s. parking sucks so show up early since it is reservation only.

Fantastic handmade gnocchi and ravioli. Best we’ve had in Denver thus far. Location on Tennyson is nice. Style of service doesn’t do justice to the quality of the food but I get that it’s their thing. I’d like to see them open up another location suited for a fancier date night with more romance. Will definitely try again and consider upgrading to 5 star. Pasta is that good.
