50 Best Italian Restaurants near Castle Pines

“We went here today for Mother’s Day. The service was fast, the food was great (loved the bruschetta), and the live music was WONDERFUL ❤️ My 4 year old, 13 year old, and 16 year old all found food they liked on the menu too- that’s a win! Thank you! 😊“

“This place is amazing! Bravi! 👏🏽 My husband is from Milano and he loved every second of dining here. What a great group of people working here. Bellissimo!“

“Mom-and-pop shop that serves pasta and salad literally in paper buckets. The noodle options are cavatappi, penne, and spaghetti, and there are numerous sauce options. The cavatappi was cooked slightly over-al dente, but the marinara was excellent — the spicy marinara is a home run. The pasta bowl sizes are called small, medium, and family, which translate to big, giant, and humongous because the family is 24 ounces.

Garlic bread comes with each pasta order, and it's made to order, and it's crispy, buttery, and garlicky. The salads — also made to order — come in the medium bucket. The mac and cheese (cooked to order) is also flavorful. Meat options are sausage, meatballs, and chicken.

The paper buckets are tightly sealed by a plastic lid, and I'm confident that transporting the food would not result in a spill.

The food is prepared by Patrick, one of the owners, and patrons can sit and wait and converse with him, as we did when we dropped by. He said his goal is to make feeding families more affordable for the South Denver area.

They have a free miniature arcade set up, as well, for those who want to pass the time while waiting. It's the original three Mortal Kombats as of November 2024. There is no dine-in option here; it's strictly order to go.

The shop is connected to the Great Harvest shopping center — just have to swing around the corner to the south.“

“I have hearing loss. I asked for I quiet table. The management was TERRIFIC in accommodating my needs; I was offered the choice of three tables. The service was excellent too. Our entrees were well prepared, especially the Pollo all Milanese. The entire evening was a pleasure, thank you to the Venice service and kitchen staff“

“Fresh food, excellent service, spacious and very nice room“

“My husband placed the order for me to grab on my way home so I was there earlier than a pizza could be expected to be ready. They were kind, gave me some water while I waited and apologized unnecessarily for the wait. Good pizza and the antipasto salad was great!“

“So delicious The food and wine and dessert were fantastic“

“Pro's: 1. Fast service from ordering online, our fresh pie and (mildly) hot wings finished when quoted. 2. The hot wings were freshly made with a surprisingly ? perfect spice if you have any acid reflex (you should be able to handle it just fine). 3. Fast and friendly service up until ppu when I already had paid online...then see below. 4. Absolutely delightful pizza pie, there's was no grease. 5 stars for taste. I wish they offered an extra large and more chewy center pie. It was ? delicious! Con's: 1. It would have been 5 stars if the cashier hadn't looked at me with judgment on what I tipped. It really down graded my experience since I was a first time customer here. Idk if I should bother returning if it's just greed looking at the numbers. It was disrespectful.“

“I’ve found very few pizza places in the Denver area that have pizza close to what I had in Italy. This is one of them. Delicious food and friendly service. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Visited for first time after receiving a mailer coupon. The reviews were good so we tried it and am very glad we did! We went for a late lunch and were greeted nicely upon our arrival and told to sit wherever we would like. The restaurant is small but cozy. We ordered Caprese, Chicken Parmesan, and GF Penne and Italian Sausage and they tasted great! They offer lots of GF options and the pasta tasted homemade. We will be back and highly recommend.“

“Long wait overall despite the restaurant being not that busy. They placed us in the far corner right next to the bathroom and the arcade so the ambience was off...just loud kid-screams and the bathroom even though the restaurant was not even 40% full.

Food and beer were amazing though so we'll go back for that!“

“I just had the butternut squash ravioli and it was amazing!! I might come back tomorrow and have it all over again 🤩“

“Our Littleton Angies was closed today, so went to castle rock instead. The food was awful. Bottled salad dressing, watery spaghetti sauce and very bland meatball. Will never assume the two Angie restaurants are equal. Littleton is far superior in every way. Never again 0 stars. If restaurant wasn't so far away. I would have taken it back. Instead I fed it to my garbage disposal.“

“Excellent food and amazing service. I felt like I was in a 5 star to the point of being spoiled. Enjoy!“

“Food was great, Service was great, but trying to get around and park was a total mess. Don't like the location. Castle Rock folks can have it to themselves.

Parking: The area it is located in is just a mess for traffic and getting around. The circle drives cause a lot of issues.“

“The food was excellent, homemade noodles and red sauce with meatballs. The service was great and the atmosphere was very nice. We will be back soon!“

“We hosted our best friends to a dinner at Danielle's that was recommended by other dear friends. We were very impressed by the quality of the dishes. Calamari, Danielle's favorite Chicken with lemon-butter sauce, Pork Osso Bucco, Chicken Piccata with lemon risotto, and bacon-chicken with mac-n-cheese. Finished off with skillet brownie and vanilla bean ice cream. Leonè was a superb server💗👏“

“We love the food and the service. We eat here a lot. A few times, something has been missing from our to-go order and they go above and beyond to fix the mistake. Chris, the manager, is awesome has been wonderful to us. Definitely recommend for some yummy food!“

“I just tried it for the first time and I ordered Rosa. It is wonderful. The service was quick and fast and friendly and I’m Italian and I’m pretty picky and I was blown away by the taste of the penny pasta and the sauce. Definitely will be a repeat guess.“

“The best pizza and wings!! A warming family with really good food….what’s not to love?“

“We had late lunch at your Highlands Ranch location on Thursday October 26th. We enjoed absolutely excellent service by "Trisha" and her helpers. They were efficient, polite and friendly, Whoever trained them did a superb job. OLG is very fortunate to have such great employees. We will definitely go back.“

“This is one of the BEST Italian restaurants in the Denver area with great atmosphere! The servers and food were the best. Veal piccata and bread yummy Just disappointed that the Hostess was not welcoming (maybe having a bad day, which is understandable-it just brought us down)“

“I have never had such great Italian. service is amazing food is very delicious. piping hot and doesn't take long. It's worth every penny. it also seems they make their own pasta and homemade items. ps I never review. Go!“

“My wife has been coming here for almost 26 years. Always stellar service and delicious food. Try the garlic cheese bread.“

“We sat at front bar last night. The staff worked like a well oiled machine. Amazed by the service. From the manager Tanner and all the polite, friendly hardworking staff. The salad chef was so detail oriented and what a beautiful and delicious salad, house dressing was amazing. We had LuBo's thin crust pizza, so delicious. We are hooked, don't change a thing.“

“Friday night is a busy night but not to worry, this place is all about exceeding your expectations. Shaylee the Head Hostess took my name and had us at a table in minutes flat. Just the beginning of the great experience. Once at our table our Server Kannika made some awesome suggestions and we selected our dinner. I selected the Seafood Alla Portofino a combo of Shrimp, New Zealand Mussels, Clams, Black Mussels and White Wine Sauce with Pasta. My friend Richard selected a 12" Mediterranean Pizza. This is a very Family Friendly place. There was a very diverse crowd but everyone was enjoying their time here. If you're looking for a Unique Italian Restaurant that has great food superior service and a relaxed atmosphere then Portofino is your place!“

“Excellent food and service. Best Italian food we have had in Colorado.“

“Great pizza! I love how the crust wasn’t burned or over baked. I thoroughly enjoyed my Brooklyn pizza! I highly recommend this place! I will be a returning customer!“

“Pepperoni pizza was great, though not true NY style as others have mentioned. Had to use a microscope to see the 3 bone-in wings I got as a side, but the hot wings (not hot at all) were quite tasty. Lastly, it took 20-25 minutes to heat up a slice of pizza & toss 3 wings.“

“Oh my! The cannolis from Carmines Pizza & Pasta are bites from heaven! The best in Italian cuisine is right here!“

“Order the Uncle Sam pizza. Pizza was one the bartender said was popular. It came out hot and crispy. Pizza was thin and had a good amount of toppings. Sauce was sweet. Undercarriage was a little crispy. Crust was thin but wasn't cardboard. Pizza was overall good. Service was great and friendly. The restaurant was downstairs and had an industrial feel with a 1/2 brick wall that looked really cool.Crust - 4/10 (not my fav style)Sauce -6/10Undercarriage - 6.4/10Pizza overall - 6.8/10Would definitely recommend it to anyone in this area.“

“Giant pizzas 🍕 family of 4 and still couldn’t finish it!“

“Bob, Angie and team are truly amazing! The sandwiches are tasty and transport you to Philly with each bite! Definitely recommend to everyone!“

“I can see where you get your 3.5 rating been coming here for years and pretty good but lately quality has dropped. Had a bad pie today dry no sauce not cut call in to give feedback didn’t get offered to remake it or my money back I will be back after all these years. 1.5“

“Haven't been here for a while as last visit wasn't pleasant. This visit was just what I was missing -- NY pizza, great customer service and reasonably priced.
Thank you Mo. You made my decision to try Anthony's again the perfect choice!“

“When Parry's gets it right, their food is good. The problem is they rarely get it right and then they NEVER actually come through to fix it. Don't bother complaining...they never actually credit your or follow through. And good lord! Door Dash throws it in the trunk and makes a huge mess. Yet again another $60 gone. Shame on me for not learning.“
