The food is great, variety of flavors on the menu. Charred cabbage, crab toast, vodka Os were spot on. Service is attentive. The decor is lovely. It’s in a very unassuming spot, would never be able to find this place if not for people’s recommendations. Would definitely recommend

I’m always seeking new phenomenal restaurants here in Denver and this has become my #1 spot. I’ve been back twice since my first time two weeks ago and each time I’m just as blown away. Highly recommend BOTH pasta dishes and the sardine toast, though everything I’ve had is great. The ambiance is cozy and relaxed. Can’t say enough good things about Fino!

I love the decor. They really did a great job creating a legit midmod vibe. The service was also good- not extraordinary, but good. The food is the problem and the reason for my 2-star review. First, not a single allergen is listed on their menu, which is a wild choice in 2026. I also felt like the menu was having an identity crisis that definitely did not match the awesome interior of the space. And in the end, nothing we ordered excited us. There was nothing that stood out or left a mark on us. In fact, 2 of the dishes we tried had terrible presentation & lacked flavor - the cod and the sweet potatoes. There are many other spots to dine if you want a memorable and delicious meal in Denver. This place would be a great spot for drinks beforehand.
