Customer Reviews

My wife and decided to stop at this new family own Italian restaurant. Our server Nico went above & beyond to take cares of us. The service was on point and the food was like being in Italy. The flavor remembered us of when we visited Italy. All the plates were authentic and the sauce was out of this world. If you are looking for real Italian food close to Southlands please visit this restaurant. You will not regret it I will recommend to put Salt & Pepper on each table, and to start with a complementary bread & oil would be great

My husband & I stopped by for lunch as soon as they opened on a Friday. We were attended immediately by the gentleman & food didnt take long. First we ordered Tortellini pasta with pesto & a Margherita pizza & it was authentic Italian. Since I've traveled to Italy, I can recognize the taste & how the pizza was baked through a wood-fire oven. Everything tasted great, we ordered the pepperoni pizza to go. We will be coming back here, it was worth it! Thank you for using real ingredients, making real food.

Went for an early dinner (4:45pm) Saturday night and we were seated right away. It was a little chilly by the front door, but otherwise the seating is comfortable. We got an Aperol Spritz, the Focaccia, Lasagna Bolognese and Pasta Al Forno and were very satisfied. Our server Nico was very attentive and made perfect recommendations! We cannot wait to come back and try more of the menu.

Authentic Italian food! The fettuccine carbonara was amazing! Everybody was friendly, it wasn't very busy on a Friday night so a reservation wasn't necessary though we did make one in advance. My only complaint is that they do not have any rose wine available, which is what I was looking forward to. I love an Italian rose.

We came on Christmas Eve as a family & were blown away by the food, the service & the atmosphere. Nico was our sever & guided us to THE BEST options. We got the spaghetti & meatballs, the pesto salmon & risotto, & the seafood ravioli. We also loved our drink pairings -- an Amaretto Sour, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chianti). We also got the best tiramisu we've ever had! The atmosphere is cozy & perfect for small or big gatherings. Being in the heart of the Southlands shopping center made for a beautiful walk post-dinner with the Christmas lights. Denver has had some hit or miss Italian restaurants. This is how authentic Italian SHOULD be. 10/10 recommend!

Food here is amazing. We got the Burrata, Fettuccine Carbonara, and their weekly special Lemon Pesto Salmon Risotto. All of them were amazing, especially the Risotto. The tiramisu here is exceptional. The server Nico was attentive and very kind. I definitely would recommend this place and come back again!
