Fun and trendy atmosphere, top notch bar with eclectic drink options, homemade pasta and other tasty fare. Happy hour 3-5.

Food was decent. It is definitely made fresh and that is yummy, however the portion sizes are tiny tiny and it is not worth the price! Disappointed to say the least.

Tried for the first time and had a decent experience. The margherita pizza was great! We didn’t love the cavatelli, but the fresh made pasta itself was amazing. The insalata was a little disappointing, but the drinks were pretty good! I’d recommend the pear margarita and their specialty bee’s knees. What really makes this place is the atmosphere. Beautifully decorated and good vibes flowing throughout the restaurant. The tables were quite close together, but the space is small and it got really busy, so I understand the need for that. Our server, Kat, was amazing and took great care of us. She was really sweet and helpful.

Just had our anniversary dinner here. We brought our 4 year old daughter. Charlie, our server, was EXCELLENT. Even though we brought our 4 year old (who is well behaved) he treated us like royalty. Many servers (especially in a nice establishment) automatically see a child and give poor service. The cocktails were the best I’ve had in years (very creative and delicious (pistachio sour), food was phenomenal, and the service even better (thank you Charlie). But a couple of things that were disappointing was that I had checked the menu a few times before going and they had just switched the menu that day. So, the 3 things I had planned on ordering, they didn’t have any longer… with the exception of cacio e pepe which they were still able to make for me. Also, it’s overpriced. $16/cocktail is absurd and the portions of the pasta were extremely small for the price. I understand it’s handmade, but we left hungry.

I won’t be back simply with how rude they were. We had a reservation and barely had our plates taken away, waiting for our check and they came and said we need you to leave we have other people waiting. Literally there an hour.

Wanted to try this place because Chef Carrie Baird was on top chef and I really enjoyed watching her.

Overall it was a nice experience. Went to visit on Valentine’s Day weekend and it was nice they had special menus of the holiday.

The atmosphere was nice, and the music they played was great. Early 2000s vibe. I really loved the kitchen being open and being able to watch them make the food.

Our table ordered a variety of items to share. We had the insalata which was really great for an Italian salad. It was dressed just perfect. Pizza we ordered Diavolo Bianco, the dough was really nice and had a great chew. The pizza itself had a nice spice level. Really enjoyed it. And for pasta we ordered the Bucatini, again good spice level and the homemade pasta was wonder, I just wish it had been sauced a bit more.

Seafood linguine was ok. Tables are hilarious, you share one long one with like three other couples. Very cafeteria like

The appetizer pawns were special. The main dishes were fine, but came up short compared to price. Overall, enjoyed it, but not a mind blowing meal. Wine pricing was just a bit high by $2 to $4 a glass. Unfortunately fits with today's pricing.

Food was decent but the 3 cheese pizza was pretty greasy… which leads me to question the quality of the cheese. 🥴The prices felt a bit hollow and felt like the perfect place to take advantage of diners who want to feel(pay) like they’re having an elevated dining experience despite the price point not being backed up by quality or value. 😬 It was fine….not spectacular… 🫠

Mixed experience. Great atmosphere, quality service. But a few things tonight to note: 1) mocktails are same price as cocktails, not cool, liquor is the most expensive part. 2) the insalata was terrible! It was actually spicy, I think the pepperoncini vinaigrette was the problem. Mine was inedible and my partner had to take a bundle of pepcid and tums afterwards. 3) my cacio pepe, was very mediocre, sauce was off and a the noodle choice was strange-stick to spaghetti! Just a few items to note when the prices are high, you want to get what you're paying for.

This past Friday night at the Denver Airport, I had THE BEST PIZZA I’ve had since I was in Rome 15 years ago! The crust was so light, so tender, I thought it might fly away. Incredible service too!

I think there should be some transparency and awareness for some restaurants that no longer believe that as the guest we have the right to choose an appropriate tip. What is being passed through as a “service fee” of 20%, in this case, is absurd. The pricing of the food is high and as has been historically the case, covers costs and profit. The tip was to the customer choice and reflective of service provided. Now there is no mention until you get you bill that they went ahead and decided on your behalf that they are deserving of a full 20%. If you are doing this then at least be honest and increase your prices accordingly. This feels like a fast one being pulled and as customer I find it offensive and entitled.

I won’t return due to this policy, nor will I go to other establishments that feel they can take what they want dishonestly. Hence the 1 star for service. Staff was friendly but this frustration has to be reflected somewhere.

Food was incredibly high quality, if slightly small in portion. The pistachio sour is the best cocktail in Denver (me and my partner have a running list). Maria gave us exceptional service! We will be coming again.

Ordered pizza tonight and what a disappointment. The three cheese had maybe Parmesan and olive oil on it, no mozzarella, fontina or fresh rosemary. Basically cardboard. The salsiccia was so floppy all the toppings fell off when we picked up a slice and it was soggy. I’m all about the fold but this was sog city. For $25 for a pretty small pizza I would expect more. I did get takeout but was told it just came out of the oven and didn’t have more than a five minute drive home. We have ordered the pizza in the restaurant as well and it was similarly disappointing, wanted to give it another shot. There are other items on the menu that are fantastic - not sure why the pizza doesn’t level up to those. Giving two stars for the service because often feel rushed and like an inconvenience when we’re in there.
