50 Best Italian Restaurants near Cherry Hills Village

“just get any of his food !! especially the pizza and soups. so 🔥“

“I was absolutely astonished and blown away by our whole entire experience with this team of individuals who sincerely care about their patrons. I am more than happy to report that these people that work at the restaurant really put their backs into it, as of course EVERYTHING is completely home made. I’ll spare you the details on the wine, and desert because those specific delicacies could never be described with words. There are other options you can eat here if you’re not looking to spend a lot of money, but after eating their menu you’ll see why they are always packed. Getting a reservation is highly recommended as some nights you can’t even get a table the same week.“

“Great food. A must when your in Denver“

“Everything is fabulous!!!“

“Ordered drinks, waiter returned for order, appetizers arrived, no drinks, server said bartender was busy, drinks came halfway through appetizers, gave us bill and dessert at same time, no acknowledgement of birthday… made a deal of checking beforehand“

“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!“

“A wonderful place. The food is exceptionally delicious—not just tasty, but absolutely amazing. The staff is very polite, and the atmosphere is lovely.“

“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“

“It is a fairly different concept for ordering and seating so just be prepared. It would probably move quicker if the food sucked but it’s amazing and that’s why there is a crowd. It’s worth it and the food does come out pretty fast. The pricing was fantastic for the value as well.“

“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.“

“Amazing food! Amazing atmosphere! The staff is always great, accommodating, and helpful with pronouncing the names of the food on the menu. If you’re looking for an authentic Italian food experience, Il Forno Di Tutti is the place for you!“

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

“Great Food and friendly staff!“

“We had a fantastic experience at Venice! We’ve lived in Denver for 20 years and we never knew this place existed. Great atmosphere and the food was amazing, so authentic! We went with our 3 kids (13, 10 and 10), they ordered off the kids menu and loved the fettuccini Alfredo. The service was excellent, and our server, Gillian was on point. I can’t say enough good things about him. We will most definitely be back. I would recommend this place to anyone. This place is really nice and intimate feeling. Great for a date night or a family dinner, so long you have well behaved kids who love good food.“

“We had a fantastic dinner last night! Easy to get a reservation and they were ready for us the minute we arrived. Makayla was our waitress and she was amazing! She had great knowledge of the menu and was spot on in her recommendations! Kudos to kitchen as everything was perfect!“

“Visiting from florida. Took our son and his girlfriend out last night for her birthday. They say this is their favorite restaurant. The food was beyond amazing and the desserts were delicious! We also had the most awesome server. I wish I got his name, but he has black hair and a goatee. Great sense of humor and made the night awesome. Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Intimate restaurant that serves delicious food. The servers Josh & Schafer are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The service is phenomenal! Bettola catered a party for me and did a spectacular job!“

“Really good baked goods. Nice environment. Might have been an off day but the gal at the counter was not friendly and seemed rushed and annoyed with everyone.“

“Family owned. Traditional menu. Fabulous desserts. Friendly staff.“

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

“The food is amazing! Our waitress was awesome as well. The only thing that left a sour taste in our mouth was the manager making it seem like we’re being rushed. I made a reservation a week earlier and when we showed up there was barley anyone there, the manager or owner or who ever she is said we had 1 hour and a half at max to finish our meal. This establishment is definitely not a turn and burn. If I’m spending over 25 dollars a plate I’m going to enjoy it with the feel or want to be rushed. That being said the food and our waitress definitely did not disappoint!“

“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!“

“This is my favorite restaurant! The food has a sensuous and complex flavor profile while also being rustic Italian. You will not find a better pomodoro sauce anywhere unless your grandma is from Italy and has a long held family recipe. The pasta is hand made and has a perfect texture and amazing flavor with the sauce. The house made buratta is the freshest, creamiest and thickest you’ll enjoy outside of select NYC restaurants that are famous for making their own mozzarella, ricotta or buratta. And the staff treat their guests like they’ve invited you into their own home. Jessica was amazing! All together, going to Luca’s is like getting the perfect big warm hug.“

“Fantastic food (we had the lobster ravioli special) and great service!“

“I love this place! Fresh food, absolutely delicious, friendly staff, and a welcoming atmosphere. Beyond 5 stars!“

“One of the finest restaurants in Denver, owned by one of the best hip hop music promoters! Great food, great atmosphere, great music!“

“Our visit last night was not the experience I was hoping for. We have gone to Amici's for years. Our first time was way back when they were still at 53rd. and Sheridan. I had the eggplant parmesan, which was very good. I don't know if the kitchen staff changes, or what? The eggplant portion was very small, three slices of eggplant the size of a silver dollar.“

“Fantastic service, The food was amazing. We went for our anniversary and we totally enjoyed the night. Can't wait to go back ❤️“

“Had an amazing dinner and an amazing server Noah!!! 10/10 experience!! Every bite of food was amazing and everyone was excited to eat their leftovers!!“

“Good food! Good service“

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

“Great find and wonderful! Made in house gluten free pizza crust was impressive! Almost all items on menu have a gluten free option! High quality ingredients and great atmosphere! Will be back!! Burrata with rhubarb a must too!! Homemade limoncello spritz-yes please!!“

“The food tastes very good, the spaghetti I like is a must“

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

“My husband and I tried Chianti on Valentines Day and fell in love with it. The food, service, and atmosphere were amazing. We went back last night for our anniversary. We were blown away again. This is now our favorite restaurant.“

“Amazing food! Fantastic seasonal options! A hidden gem of Denver.“

“Been here many times. The old owners are now gone. The new owners straight from Europe The Giaqnni family has changed the plate ware, expanded wine and beer, same chef's and are starting a lunch menu and they say soon a breakfast menu. I had 15 for dinner Saturday night. Food great, fun and wait staff engaging. Owners visited as well. You will like the new settings.“

“Tasting dinner Sunday night. Really enjoyed everything, especially the dessert!“

“We had an Uber delivery gone wrong. Pretty sure, the bag was dropped. Either way the manager Sarah went above and beyond to make things right eventhough it was not even the stores fault. I couldn't be happier with the way she cared so much and tried to fix everything.“

“This place was hopping Sunday afternoon when we arrived for a 4:00 reservation. Glad we made one! We were there with some first timers and they thoroughly enjoyed Oliver's! Service was on point as were on a bit of a time table - concert at Fiddler's Green! Check this place out for delicious food, great service and value! Salute!“

“As always, exceptional!! From the Sweet hostesses to our wonderful waitress - and I'm so sorry. I cannot remember her name. - but everything was so so yummy!! Usually have the margarita pizza this time had the meat pizza and oh my God realizing what we've been missing out on!! And we absolutely love the older gentleman who bust his tables and does pretty much everything else. He's a hard worker.“

“Great customer service! Nice welcome when you head in and positive attitude. Pizza was ready in less than 10 min for carry out. It was delicious with great toppings and perfect cheesiness! Absolutely love their pizza for any occasion.“

“I think I just had my 2nd best pizza in my life!
Had a 12” sausage with green and red peppers with their Garlic olive oil contraption.
Had them cook just a touch extra as I like my pizza a little more done…(but not Burnt) it was just right! ON POINT!

Wife had a perfect calzone
So did my son another perfect calzone!!

On point very good will definitely be back!!

Thanks
P.S. staff was great as well“

“The owner is an accommodating and generous person and the food is authentic and delicious. Great place to bring a date , the whole family or even enjoy a meal by yourself. Can’t say enough good about this place. Una perla della cucina italiana“

“The service is stellar. Jay, Nick, and Andrea were the team that made my experience phenomenal.

A special shout out to Jay. Her communication and server skills are a cut above the rest.

You go, girl!!!!!“

“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 is excellent!!! I highly recommend if you’re a pasta lover!“

“We had the most wonderful dining experience on Christmas Eve night. Such a welcoming neighborhood environment, excellent food & beverage, and last but most certainly not least, the service from was so great. Carlos took such good care of my family. Thank you all for a wonderful holiday, we will be back!“

“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!“
