Incredible hidden gem local Italian place that has food that tastes like it was made in Italy. Some of the best Italian in Denver and CO and maybe the whole west region of the USA. Wow. I can't wait to go back and try the pizza and seafood. The short ribs ravioli and their red sauce deserve a special shoutout.

Not a great dining experience and the food was sub-par. Side dish pasta was strange - came out greasy/soaked in oil. A couple of pieces of garlic bread is $14. Restaurant was only 20% capacity, but they didn't bring wine to my husband for 20 minutes.

We have been to this restaurant a few times, and it gets better every time! The owner came out and told us his story of coming over from Sicily and eventually starting up his two restaurants. The pasta is made fresh in this restaurant, and the short rib, mushroom ravioli was excellent! And the gelato (made in house) was to die for. To top it all off, our waitress Lark was incredible! Friendly, enthusiastic and well versed in the menu and wines. She was attentive and really was one of the best servers we have had in many years! Great food, wine and service!

This is a solid place. It’s good. They didn’t have a vegan option entree but they made a vegan lentil soup and a cheeseless salad that I appreciated. Our waiter was a seasoned gentleman who was quite entertaining, and never caused us to wait long for anything. Food tasted good according those who were with me. Nice neighborhood place. Definitely recommend for a nice weeknight or low key weekend dinner.
