Unique and casual homemade pasta spot with tasty food and friendly employees. Slightly expensive but nice and right near the pedestrian-only strip in downtown Boulder. Would recommend, although the pasta dish I got could use a few less peas.

August 2025

My husband and I had a fantastic dinner at this fresh Italian fast-food spot! The pasta was incredibly authentic—cooked perfectly —and the sauces were rich and flavorful. You can truly taste the quality in every bite. Everything felt fresh, simple, and genuinely Italian. Highly recommend for a quick yet authentic Italian experience!

July 2025

Excellent food, my go to after working has always been the Gricia. A perfect blend of savory pork, with light cheese, and a nice smooth taste. The service is always fantastic, super respectful workers, and never once have I had an issue with the food or and problems with the atmosphere.
(The Salame di Cioccolato is also a great side dessert after enjoying the pasta)
