My second time here since the change of new ownership and it's just so, so good! This time I was more adventurous and tried the weekly special "Frutti de Mare" and it did not disappoint! Such a generous portion, fresh tasting sea food and amazing with the white wine sauce! My husband got the "Diavola Jalapeño" pizza, every topping was perfect and the crust-perfection! The staff was attentive and so sweet! Highly recommend this restaurant whether you're dining in or eating out!

Great place. Service was friendly and efficient. Don’t be scared off by my pictures. 1/2 order of baby spinach salad and spaghetti with sausage. Perfect for lunch. Everything was excellent. Very generous amount of sausage.

In Denver for training, I let my phone pick my dinner spot. Ignazio’s, with a 4.8 rating, seemed like a safe bet. Spoiler: it’s a 5+ star place! Not a huge Italian fan and an odd eater as I let Nancy, the owner and my waitress, choose my meal. She asked about allergies, and I said, “Nope, I’ll eat anything!” Her son, who was leaving, overheard the dish she picked out for me and said, “I ate that dish for two months straight!” Intrigued, I was ready to dive in. Nancy brought out Rustica, a penne with a rosé sauce, chicken and sausage that was out of this world. After the first bite, I was in flavor heaven. (I was ready to eat it for 2 months straight as well, but it’s her signature dish…. And I live in Utah….. so if you live here, I’m jelly) Nancy checked in, chatting for 15 minutes, making me feel at home while dining solo. She’s a gem, turning Ignazio’s into a cozy, welcoming spot. Side notes: - listening to her interact with her staff is awesome. I would personally love to work for someone who treats their staff as she does. - She went out of her way to speak to everyone as they came in or as they were leaving. It wasn’t a forced, fake manager, coming up to your table and asking you how your visit was. She sincerely was connecting with everyone. - as mentioned above, it really does go a long way as a single dine in person to have a staff member come over and make conversation. Thank you for that.
