Been going here since they opened. Always my favorite Italian spot in Denver. Great for dates, great for family, and great for (well behaved) kids. The menu has great choices and the staff is very very friendly. We came in with a toddler and the owner or manager was very nice to us and helpful when it came to boxing up food and serving us family style. The bread they serve at the beginning is worth it’s weight in gold. Save room for a chocolate covered strawberry and a port…you will thank me when you do ;)

We had a wonderful time! AMAZING food, tasty cocktails. I didn't have reservations and they were able to accommodate us quickly. Parking is a bit of a challenge as we had to park over 4 blocks away especially on a cold and chilly night. The lack of valet distracted from the experience.

What a lovely restaurant! The owner team personally greeted our large group and made us feel welcome. The staff were attentive at refilling eater and giving suggestions on menu. That vodka ravioli was DELICIOUS. And don't get me started on the garlic bread at the start. So many carbs. So so so good.

Went here for my husbands birthday. The atmosphere and look of the place is very cute and cozy. It makes it look like it’s the local Italian restaurant to go to. But when we sat down it took our waiter 15 minutes to come talk to us and there’s a 22% already included gratuity, which was painful to pay on that service. The Caesar salad was great but the pasta was fairly average. Having to share family style can be challenging too.

One of the worst restaurant and customer service experiences we have had. We ordered gluten free pasta for the whole table to make it easy for servers and sharing. We later found out after eating a good portion of the meal that all of the dishes we ordered were gluten meals. My sister in law had to leave the restaurant immediately for medical attention. They brought out our correct orders a long time after. At the end they still charged us full price and said they were comping a bottle of champagne that was purchased by a friend remotely. We later called back multiple times asking that something more should be done to make this matter right and we received no calls from the owner since the managers said they weren't able to do anything about it.

What a gem of a place in the Wash Park area! Classic, family style Italian food, with great specials and wine! 22% gratuity is included here with all bills and I felt the service was amazing! I enjoyed the Bruschetta Appetizer with the …

We arrived at 630p and were seated. The server came to us at about 650p, even though they were not very busy. We stated that we are up for a light meal and would like the Caesar salad and one entree to split. My wife stated that she didn't want chicken, but he insisted that since there are two of us, we need two entrees. He then recommended two chicken dishes. Obviously he didn't listen. After his multiple attempts to up-sell us, we gave in. We had meatballs and linguine with vodka sauce and ravioli with overcooked/burnt tasting Bolognese sauce. At the end we were presented with a bill including a 22% service charge. I normally tip 20% given we had good service, but in this case we had no choice. The manager stated the we should have been told of this policy by the server, which we weren't and she did apologize. The sign on the table stating this policy was concealed behind the condiments and would require reading glasses to interpret the small font. This is no longer the restaurant we enjoyed years ago.

Family style Italian restaurant with some great choices to choose from. The menu is in the wall and leaves food descriptions behind and a lot of time asking the waitress what each meal included. …
