AMAZING! From the service to the food .... the closest thing to the fine dining experience of New York that you'll ever find in the southern part of Colorado without the New York prices. James Beard and Michelin star here comes Denise Vigil and her awesome crew! My new favorite spot for the most delicious food and a soothing dining atmosphere. Fantastic job Denise and team.

What a sweet gem! I dined here while traveling on vacation solo and had the pleasure of meeting Ruby who was my server for the evening. Kind and full of helpful recommendations, she made this a very warm dining experience. Delicious food and loved enjoying the outdoor terrace. Highly recommend and hope future diners get to have Ruby as their server!

Outstanding service, food and atmosphere!
We sat outside on a beautiful summer night. The courtyard is quiet and beautifully decorated. Our waitress was amazing. She was attentive and responsive to any requests.
Drinks were amazing. Strong and tasted amazing.
We order the crab cakes for an appetizer and let me tell you some of the best crab cakes I've ever had! The outside was crisp, the inside was well seasoned, tender and full of crab!
For our entrees we had the special which was a pesto pasta with shrimp and an array of vegetables. Absolutely amazing! I ordered the lasagna and while it wasn't heavy of meat it was very flavorful and the portion was large. Overall if you're ever in Alamosa this is the place to stop for dinner! Excellent suggestion from Steven over at Cumbres Toltec.

Atmosphere was amazing. Overall the food was really good. The lamb shank was cooked perfect. The Chicken Marsala was a bit weird with the spaghetti pasta.

Our meal was excellent...from the appetizers to the entrees to dessert! The crab cakes were light and flavorful. The arancini was fried crispy on the outside and the creamy gouda inside was perfection. I had the Holy Trinity-yum- and my husband had tender, savory lamb. Add to all of this...bread, wine and canolli for dessert. We are stuffed, but very satisfied!

Exquisite Italian food in Alamosa. Everything was delightful until the cannoli, which left us underwhelmed.

We had been out hiking and showed up 45 minutes early for our reservation. No problem - they seated us right away.

Order the crab cakes, and they were cold in the middle and mushy. Ordered the 3 cheese ravioli, and it was good. I just didn't understand the fried ravioli with the boiled ravioli. I did not like seeing the chef on her phone and touching her face and drinking out of her personal cup the entire time I was eating and never changed her gloves. What's the point of wearing gloves if you touch everything under the sun and touch food without changing your gloves. Kida gross! Won't be back due to sanitary issues.

7/5/2025. Tried this place again, why? I don’t know. Nothing has changed. Good food bad service. Now they charge a credit card fee! Our server Eva had little or no desire to assure that we were doing fine. She just stood by the food area talking and wiping plates. Didn’t bring us water or plates for our appetizer. We had to ask other servers for almost everything ! They do not have air conditioning. They had the doors open. I had to continually keep waving off flies from my food. This is for sure the last time I will go back.
7/2023 Would have been a great visit except our server Querida M was crap! Constantly had to ask for things more than once. She seemed to be irritated like she didn’t want to be there. Really had no personality, or desire to ensure we had a great experience.
3/26/24 Returned almost a year later and had another bad experience. Service was better, but now the food prices are higher and they up charge for extra things , like bread. $2.75 for two small rolls really! There is no mention of an extra charge for more bread on the menu. Just took that cost out of the tip. Will not recommend or return

If you’re in Alamosa eat here. We had the Italian roast and the Cesar salad. Both delicious. Don’t miss the roasted garlic spread on bread.

The food is horrible! Given the write up about it and the price tag of $20+ as thr cheapest meal, the food is no better than a Cracker Bartel. My chicken Milanese was hard as a rock as instead of being pan friend in a yummy lemon and wine sauce it was deep friend with no sauce at all. Instead they gave me two slices of lemon. WTF! The pasta was overcooked and the sauce it included Brussels sprouts and broccolini, but there was only two brussels sprouts and one sprig of broccolini. The Caesar salad was drowning and dressing and they had the audacity to include some out of the box heavily seasoned bread crumbs. It was horrible. I absolutely would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Great atmosphere and service, the food sucks!
