Husband and I stopped into town to try the local restaurant. We didn’t wait more than 15 minutes on a Saturday night. The service was great and our server was lovely. We absolutely loved the bread with the roasted garlic!! I have never had anything that delicious in my life! It was an incredible savory starter that you won’t find anywhere else and you gotta have it if you’re in town. Husband had “That’s A Good Pasta” and I had a “Shrimp Alfredo”. He thought his was great! I thought the shrimp could use a little salt and pepper when grilled, but still a delicious dish. Would visit again if we’re in the area!

I'm a local artist that likes to draw live at local eateries, and DiRito's is one of my favorites because I can get great food in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.In my opinion DiRito's is the best locally owned restaurant in Canon City for several reasons- they have great tasting food in large portion sizes, their friendly staff are helpful and have a great positive attitude, and their management is hands on and you can tell they really care about their restaurant! The owner really treats his employees with respect and gratitude and it shows!My favorite meal is the spaghetti but they have so many good things to try. I also love going back to eat in the grotto for a different, chill vibe.

Frozen Artichoke Hearts still a bit frozen. Returned to server and they heated them up, then they were burned. lol! They try! It’s Canon City. Not a lot of choices but the people are nice here. I’ll try something else next time. The salad was good.

The staff was super friendly and accommodating. Our waiter was really nice. She was super busy but always kind to everyone. We're new to Cañon City and trying different places. This was on our list. The food was good and portions were huge! Excellent meal for your money. I liked the fresh sauce for my spaghetti. Light and flavorful and asked for a bit more on my pasta.The feel of the restaurant was nice. Customers coming in weren't too friendly though lol.We'll be back for sure.

I recently visited DiRito's Italian restaurant in Canon City, CO, on a Thursday night for their ladies night, and I couldn't have been more delighted with my experience. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the half order of Olio Oule—a dish that left my taste buds dancing with joy. Olio Oule, aptly named "poor man’s pasta," is a true gem on DiRito's menu. The simplicity of its ingredients belies the explosion of flavor that awaits with each forkful. The spaghetti noodles were perfectly cooked and expertly tossed in a divine blend of butter, olive oil, spices, hard cheese, and garlic. The dish is a testament to the culinary artistry at DiRito's. The buttery richness, the subtle infusion of olive oil, the aromatic spices, the savory hard cheese, and the robust garlic flavor harmoniously come together to create a symphony of tastes that linger on the palate. The portion size for the half order was just right for me, allowing me to savor each bite without feeling overwhelmed. It's no wonder that Olio Oule is listed as one of DiRito's customer favorites—it has certainly earned its place on my list of go-to dishes. I opted for the house salad, an Individual Salad featuring a delightful blend of Iceberg and Romaine lettuce with Spring Mix Greens, sliced tomatoes, purple onions, and croutons. What elevated the salad experience for me was the delicious blue cheese dressing and generous blue cheese crumbles. The combination of fresh greens and the flavorful dressing made it a perfect accompaniment to my meal. The ambiance of the restaurant, combined with the attentive and friendly waitress Jen, added to the overall positive experience. Ladies night at DiRito's is a fantastic opportunity to enjoy great food in a welcoming environment. If you find yourself in Canon City, don't miss the chance to indulge in the culinary delight that is Olio Oule at DiRito's Italian restaurant. It's a treat for the senses and a testament to the fantastic offerings this establishment has to offer. Highly recommended!"

We stumbled on to this place when stopping in Canon City while previewing homes for a client. The food was fantastic and our server "Libby " was awesome. You owe it to yourself to try Di Rito's in you ever get the chance.
