Reviews
"This place was truly 5/5 stars for us. We went right when it opened. There was a small line already formed but we were able to get seated. The sausage Cannoli was amazing, highly recommend. Everything tasted amazing, we had the fettuccine and pizza and it was a blessing after a long day. Our service was amazing and everything came supremely timely. Highly recommend this location!"
"This little place is a great stop for Italian, food like your might going in the Old Country. Spinach lasagna had a great texture and flavor, and the regular lasagna was more spicy. The salad starter was simple, bitter greens and a few shredded carrots with a choice of dressing. Fresh ciabatta bread and garlic butter for the table, too. Good wine list, Coke products, and a full bar with some nice cocktails."
"Good food, good service. I had the combo plate, the meat lasagna was just too salty. We also enjoyed the linguini with chicken and pesto sauce, and linguini with Alfredo sauce. Portions are big, don't skimp on the bread and plan on bringing half home. If you get dessert, skip the tiramisu, it was seemingly pulled out the fridge/freezer and microwaved. It wasn't moist, it desperately needs some love though didn't receive any, from us or the restaurant."
"We loved everything about this place! We stayed in GWS for our honeymoon and this little spot was a complete find! As you wonder down the stairs to this quaint little Italian restaurant you felt like you left Colorado. All the staff were so friendly and attentive. We had Spaghetti and Meatballs and Their special Macaroni and Cheese with Broccoli and tritip steak. OMG what a tantalizing treat for our tastebuds!"
"In the basement of a building. Has living room style lighting. About a 30 minute wait when we went there on a Sunday evening it was a holiday weekend. They were a little heartbroken that we didn't want to have any wine with the dinner. The noodles were good texture . Pasta sauce was well cooked. The rolls that they kept brought to the table were little baby ciabatta buns,which were adorable. If you like Italian food you'll probably like this place. If Italian food reminds you of having spaghetti at home as a kid every week this will probably remind you of that spaghetti, but the best version of it. So depending on how you liked having spaghetti every week will depend if you want to go here."
