Wow! I had high expectations and it blew them all out of the water. The eggplant Parmesan might be the best Italian dish in all of Denver. All of the other pastas were amazing. And the focaccia is so yummy. We also took home the take and bake chocolate cookies. We will be back soon!

Food was amazing – every pasta dish melted in your mouth. French onion ravioli was a must. Grilled asparagus was a great way to start the meal. I’d go back in a heart beat to try everything else

Lovely date night spot. Restaurant is cozy, but I’d say 95% of all the tables were so well situated you don’t feel like half your party was cramped or have to sit next to the front door, or with their back to a walkway.

Was absolutely stellar. Food is crazy good and all house made including the bread and pastas. A little pricey but damn you get what you pay for here. Service was absolutely the winner here too, 10/10 great staff!!

My husband brought me here for my birthday! It was a great experience!!! We did order a few items and it was well worth it!!! We started off with a salad, The lobster spaghetti was good and it was heavy so be ready to share!!! My favorite was the tagliatelle bolognese!!! Very tasty! Also ordered the mafaldine.. they do give you sorbet to clean your palate for the next meal… absolutely amazing… the champagne was top notch! Service was exceptional!!! I can’t wait to go back with friends…

We went here for our anniversary dinner and had such a wonderful experience. Our server was perfectly attentive and so personable. The atmosphere is very upscale intimate and romantic. Most importantly, the dishes we tried were all so so special. I highly recommend the Eggplant Parmesan.

Amazing restaurant, food, and service. The place was loud when it was full upon seating for our table. The reservation required a $50 deposit for two that was reimbursed after we dined in, but not ideal to place upon reserving. The waitress was great outlining the menu, particularly the dietary restriction my partner had. Ordered a great cocktail prior to having our five course meal and wine pairing. Waters were always full. The food was prepped fabulous. Small portions, but for five courses it suited well. The wine pairings were truly paired great too but apparently the Classico pairing was only for 4/5 courses. We inquired about that, and the waitress brought a small pairing with our dessert which was much appreciated. The price was simply too much though. For two, we almost spent $500 including tip. That was for two cocktails (about $16 each), the five course meal ($110/person) and wine pairings ($55/person) for each person. 20% gratuity was automatically charged plus tax got us to that final price point. I didn’t like seeing the option for “additional tip” when I signed the bill. Great experience, but very hard to justify the price.
