I hadn’t been to an Italian restaurant since I moved here in June. Odyssey hit the spot in every way. Service, atmosphere, and especially the food! Highly recommend if you’re looking for an authentic Italian restaurant in the Denver area.

Very good food. I highly recommend the chicken piccata and a lobster ravioli. The service was subpar at best.

What a great find. If you don't care for the big ole chain joints, then this is the place for you, it's like you're eating at Nona's house! The food was really good, didn't hear any complaints among our party, and we had a variety of items. I need to go back and try the things I was on the fence about!

Food was decent, nothing to write home about. My party had dinner on the front patio and noticed cockroaches crawling around the ground and even on someone’s foot. There were several roaches, not just one. Hopefully they get them cleaned up!!

Went here last night with a friend. The restaurant is gorgeous! But I was really expecting more with the food, and the service. Our waiter took 40 million years to return with our food, and the table next to us that was sat with 5, (came in about 30 minutes after us) was served within 10 minutes of ordering, while us TWO had been waiting for close to an hour. womp womp. I had a scallop & mussel pasta with a white wine sauce, and man…… If this isn’t a prime example of mediocre food at absurd costs, I dunno what is. Nearly $30 for a plate of food I was underwhelmed by. I took home the leftovers cos it was decent enough to eat the next day, and when I tell you the entirety of the remaining sauce coagulated to just pure oil. Bleh.

The service was good but the food was mediocre. I sent my veal parm back because it was very dry and had a minimal amount of parmesan cheese on the top. The waitress was good and comped my entre. I rarely send back food. I am not sure I will go back. The ambiance was nice and our waitress was good.

Waitress did not offer us choices from specials. Never brought us our bread. Salad plates never came until requested after dinner was served. Dinner was cold. Excessive onions in sauce with cavatelli. Sausage added for $6.00 uplift. Delivered 3 thin sliced sausage pieces the size of a quarter. $2.00/slice is exorbitant!

Due to the historic significance and this place being around for so many years we've been yearning to knock this place off our list.
Aside from the service there was always at least one thing missing with our experience. The garlic bread came out looking heavenly with a perfect shimmer and layer of garlic ooey gooyness glazed over top but it was cold. The Diet Coke was flat after ordering it 3 times in a row. The pasta dishes we ordered (lamb shank ragu, pesto chicken dish and the chicken Alfredo) were all massively lacking in attention to detail, seasoning, and for some reason had pasta cooked at all different levels. The one commonality is that all of the food needed to be warmed up but we were worried it just be nuked for 30 seconds then brought back out so we didn't bother saying anything
The reason I'm giving 3 stars and not one is out of respect to the business, the fact that we haven't tried the chocolate cake still sitting in our fridge, the cold yet flavorful garlic bread and the very attentive and friendly service. All of those positives aside if you're an Italian restaurant and can't figure out pasta then maybe it's time for a massive refresh

Amazing food, amazing service. Food stores so well for leftovers and the serving sizes are more than adequate for the price. We come here often and never leave disappointed.
Wonderful dinner! The food and the atmosphere were both great!

We came here for our 2 year anniversary and had the best time. Jonathan was our server and he was a huge part of making our night so perfect. The food was delicious, we shared the calamari, the lobster ravioli, and the penne rustica, all were top tier. Jonathan was so fun and he was easily one of the best servers we have had any where. Thanks for making our night even more special. Shout out the tiramisu and mini cannoli! We can’t wait to be back- Emily and Max

DIRTY. The food at Odyssey is fine. Service can be hit or miss, but is mostly okay. But the overall atmosphere and level of cleanliness at Odyssey leaves a lot to be desired.
I've attached pictures to show a couple things we noticed on our last visit.
One is of the wall next to our table with some sort of creamy pasta sauce smeared all over it. It was dry, so had been there for a while. It seems pretty hard to miss and the fact that no one had bothered to wipe it up or clean it is pretty gross.
The next one is a pic of the overgrown weeds and poorly maintained front and gardens of the restaurant. For such an expensive restaurant, it seems they could at least hire someone to pick up trash in the front and pull weeds.
The third is of the wall across from our table with a chair next to it that shows dents in the paint and peeling paint.
Some of our silverware wasn't clean. But the most concerning thing was that they clearly have a gnat infestation. Numerous gnats were flying around our head and food while we were eating. If it's that bad, I can promise you that gnats are falling into your food back into the kitchen.
We asked to speak with the manager and were stunned by his lack of caring about our concerns. There was no apology, he made an excuse and said that someone would be coming to take care of the landscaping and that was it. When we left we walked by him and he didn't even acknowledge us.
Clearly management doesn't care about cleanliness and as long as people continue to go there and don't appear to be bothered by it, I guess he doesn't need to worry. Extremely disappointing. We will never be back.

This was our first time there and this was exactly what we expected per testimony by friends. Overall, great experience and will make in a go to in the future

The food was very good. We had the stuffed mushrooms, carbonara, and the gnocchi, which were delicious. The service was nice and fast. They gave us a cocktail special menu and when we wanted to order from it, they said it was from the other restaurant they have 😅
