Great food and wine selections! The vibe and atmosphere is cozy and fun! I went for a girls night but could def see as a date spot. The service was great and when they couldn’t accommodate a specific dish (steak dish) as gluten free/celiac they offered us some appetizers on the house and was able to provide a modified steak dish. The charred cabbage is the best and you have to try it! Trust me!! You order your food up at the front counter and it’s brought to you rather than having a server take your order at your table. Really easy!!

It was my first time stopping by and everything was delicious. Do yourself a favor and get the focaccia bread with blackened butter even if you're going to get pasta, it's absolutely worth it. You will never have better focaccia bread. Both pasta dishes I tried were really great and I was a big fan of the Panzanella.

This place is top notch. Happy hour menu on a Monday was perfectly priced for the best spaghetti and meatballs I've had in Denver!

Dio Mio is great for a weekday dinner with friends. Getting a table was easy considering they don’t take reservations, and I felt their service was great despite the fact you order food and drinks at the bar. Loved the specialty cocktails from the bars I tried — dragonfruit limoncello spritz and blood orange margarita. For food, my friend and I split the arancini, focaccia + prosciutto, and the Rigatoni (fennel sausage, kale, calabrian chile, lemon breadcrumbs). The pricing was great to share all this and 2 drinks each, it came to $52 per person with tax and tip.
