This was a spontaneous stop for us. We were attracted by the bright lights on the way home from playing pickleball, and we were on a high when we left the restaurant! The staff was wonderful. Our waiter, who was a young gentleman with wavy hair, had the best Italian vibes. The food in the photos were delicious, and we had the porcini mushroom with truffle oil pasta that is not pictured, and it was very tasty. It was a fantastic meal, and we look forward to coming back again. We were lucky enough to celebrate their one year anniversary with them, and I hope they have plenty more to celebrate in the future!

The best Italian food in Colorado. The reviews were spot on! They were packed on a Wednesday night. I definitely recommend a reservation. The food was incredible and so authentic. The pizzas and pastas tasted as if I was actually in Italy. I was very impressed. Hidden gem!

I’ve been searching for authentic Italian eateries ever since I moved to the United States. As someone who lived in Italy at some point in my life, I knew that genuine Italian cuisine was within my reach. One night, with minimal expectations, I visited this restaurant, and it turned out to be a place where I rediscovered the authentic flavors that my appetite remembered from my days in Italy. Simply put, this place is absolutely legit! E cucinato alla perfezione 👌

Finally I have found the place in Colorado where one can eat authentic italian cuisine. If you like restaurants in Italy, you will love this place. The portions are sensible, and therefore may not satisfy the folks who live for the endless salad bar at Olive Garden, but the food is exquisite and the staff, mostly all from the same Roman family, is welcoming and very good at their jobs. Come and discover for yourself! I will only say that every course, from appetizer to dessert was thoughtfully presented and executed. The food is authentically Italian and lovingly prepared. I give Na Favola a 6 stars out of 5 review. I'll be back way too often! Update: we came back for Valentine's Day and had an exquisite meal. The food just keeps getting better. Wild boar ragù over mafaldine pasta was rich, flavorful and perfectly served with a sprig of rosemary. The cheese pinsa (pizza, Roman style), with black olives was delicious and the addition of the best hot oil outside of Calabria made it even better. As usual the olive oil cake for dessert: light and scrumptious, served with a prefect zabaglione sauce was a great way to finish, accompanied by wonderful espresso martinis! Happy Valentine's Day to Noemi, Daniele, and tutti at Na Favola, our new favorite restaurant in Colorado! Come early and be prepared to wait... all the trendiest residents of Greenwood Village have discovered this jewel in their midst!
