I've been here a couple times for drinks but not dinner. I celebrated valentine's Day with my wife tonight. We came away very happy with the delicious food and outstanding service. The house was packed for dinner tonight and short on staff but but Megan still made us feel taken care of. An intriguing and reasonably priced tapas style menu that anyone can find options to eat. I don't do dairy which was no issue. The salmon mousse, ,risotto balls, winter salad, potatoes, and hummus were all tasty with the right portion size and all came out with good timing. Most notably, I have found the BEST burger in denver. It came on a brioche roll with arugula and was cooked medium rare to perfection. The bill was surprisingly reasonable and the ambience is excellent. Perfect for date night, hanging out with friends or even for business meetings. Located conveniently in Stapleton, you won't be disappointed

I was in Denver for work and I happened upon this restaurant by looking onApple Maps. Talk about finding a hidden gem! It's in the Stapleton neighborhood just north of Denver. The building it's in used to be a car rEpair place, but the only thing that gives that away is the roll up doors on one side. The inside is small & cozy. There are a few tables and a bar. They havee an extensive wine, beer, cocktail & spirits selection. The menu is small, but the choices are variied and sample from cuisines all over the world. I had the Arctic Char, which was cooked perfectly and served with lentils. I wish I had someone else with me because there were several other menu items I wanted to try. If I lived in Denver, I would come here at least once a week.

Fulfilling small plates from various world cuisines; Spanish, Italian, and Middle Eastern. Plus an incredible cocktail list.

One of the best restaurants in the Northfield Stapleton area. This wine bar is packed with amazing food and energy that can not me matched. The drinks and food is 10/10 , amd the menu is always offering amazing specials,

Food was really good, the aranchi was my favorite. My guest enjoyed their beet salad. It is expensive so I will only be here for special occasions.

Terrible service and took an hour for our food. Meals were incomplete. Ended up leaving when one meal didn't get served. Waitress was very kind but her hands were tied since the kitchen couldn't seem to do their job. Octopus was flavorless. Other customers that came in after us were served first. My kids treat us to new places when we visit Denver. We will not return to Della Radice. Very disappointed. Not the place to go in Denver.

Horrible service, the manager Giovanni was very rude. Took us over 15 minutes just to get 2 cocktails which were awful. Tried to flag down the manager but I was completely ignored. Their menu is very poorly put together, and very disorganized I ordered the arancini and the mozzarella pearl in the center was cold and not fully cooked. If you want poor service and metiokre food that isn't well prepared then this is the place for you

Some of the most knowledgeable and friendly bartenders I've ever encountered. Excellent selection of local beer. Bountiful local and small batch spirits I've never heard of. We ordered a few small plates to share and I was absolutely floored at the richness and variety of flavor. Do yourself a favor: go check out Della Radice!

Della Radice = Small plates with friends Della Radice = Extraordinary wine bar Della Radice = Live, Laugh, Love Actually it translates to "of the root", which is the sensible way to explain it. But it's so fun to make up your own interpretation of the name. Della Radice quietly opened about a year ago (maybe more maybe less) in Stapleton and it's one of my default restaurants. I know, in Stapleton! But I love the fact that it's cozy, their wine selection is on point, and their small plates are all delicious. Everytime I go, I order something different and am never disappointed with what they serve. One thing I almost always order: arancini. It's served with a rich tomato sauce and if you ask nicely, they will serve you a side of grilled bread to dip in the leftovers. If you're more of a cocktail lover, the bartenders can make you something off-menu, based on your flavor profile preference. Once they made me a rose/violet drink that I fondly nicknamed, "Granny panties". It tasted delightful and it's funny to me since I am a big supporter of full-bottomed underwear. So if you find yourself in Southeast Denver, Aurora or Stapleton and want something intimate and tasty, go on over to Della Radice. It's surprisingly awesome.

This is a great local restaurant. The staff is friendly and the service is what one should expect when you go out. Christino, the owner, has revitalized this restaurant in the heart of Stapleton. If you are looking for a quaint restaurant with a good vibe then this is the place for you.
Super excited to try this neighborhood spot. Came in for a drinks and tapas with friends. Service was excellent. The cocktails we tried were super delicious. The small tapas we tried (burrata, Brie, meatballs and lamb) were average-good. 6 drinks and 4 tapas came to $120 before tip for our group of 3. I would have given this place a higher rating but the sewage? smell ran us out of the restaurant early. We were seated near the front door and a possible closet area and noticed a foul odor shortly after we were seated. It went away after a bit but towards the end of the evening, after we paid our tab but while we were still enjoying conversation and our last drink, it came back so strong and foul we literally were covering our noses and mouths trying not to breath while we quickly exited. It's a small place and I'm not sure how the other patrons could stand it.... unless it was coming from that closet right next to us but the smell was SO strong and rank I cant imagine others stayed much longer. Hopefully they address it soon. Unfortunately we won't be returning as the memory of that awful smell does not make us want to come back.

I don't usually leaves reviews but had to because I was so blown away by this spot. Cute little neibhorhood spot where we don't have a lot of places like this. The ambience,drinks service and FOOD were amazing. Unreal. Reasonably priced. I have traveled around the world and the country specific food tapas were unreal. The service was great, the owner checked on us and was wonderful. I can't rave enough about this place!!

Met up with the girls for happy hour that evolved into dinner..... the drinks were nice and the atmosphere was great, the staff really thrives to please though the food were mostly just meh! We ordered Caprese with garlic prawns, polpette a la zita, pulpo basco, escargot, Frank kofta, smoked salmon mousse. And we were comp'ed with an order of churros. The shrimp on the caprese were sour, like rotten gone bad sour. It still baffles me how a restaurant can serve rotting shrimp as that should be a product with high turnovers......unless they literally did not sell much shrimp or somebody left the shrimp out of temperature for too long, which is a whole different issue by itself. To make up for the rotten shrimp, the restaurant comp'ed is with a round of drinks and the churros so that was nice of them. But why the 3 stars?........because the food was overpriced for its portions. The restaurant pride itself in tapas style though for their portions, nothing should be over $8. The meatballs were delightful, the pulpo was flavorful, we loved the lamb meatball with the Frank kofta. The churros? Please oh please do not let anyone from Malaga know you are passing random fried pieces of puff pastries drizzled with chocolate sauce as "churros". The escargot tasted like dirty socks, or stinky feet, literally. There were 2 of us in the party that ate our way through France and ordered escargot at just about every place we were at and NONE of them tasted as bad as what Della Radice is serving. All in all, the food was good, but honestly, it's overpriced. When tapas are around €3,50-€5,90 in the most touristy towns of Spain for the same amount of food, there should be no reason for Della Radice to be charging $12-$14 for it. All in all, the restaurant just lack things here and there to be desired to earn its full 5 stars.

Prices were decent, but the Kafka was way over spiced, as was the put a bread. The bag plate only had two quarters of artichokes. So, much for sharing?
