Meh
For the amount you spend - not worth the hype in my opinion.

A great experience in Denver! The food in particular is great, the service is very attentive and the atmosphere is reminiscent of authentic Italian liveliness. The best part is that you can share courses with your partner, which gives you the opportunity to enjoy the many levels of the menu even if your stomach has a limited capacity. Thank you for the unforgettable experience.

Great food, service, and atmosphere! I loved their special which was bison lasagna, the lamb ragu was amazing as well. Definitely recommend it!

Delicious food served in easily edible portions. Beautiful restaurant, knowledgeable staff, and relatively affordable, especially for the great quality.

Maressa Villa

Beautiful restaurant. High quality food. Cocktail drinks were delicious. I had the strawberry daiquiri. We tried the 4 pasta plates along with dessert! We will never forget the rhubarb cheesecake !!

We sat at the bar for happy hour and had absolutely wonderful service with the most delicious food and drinks. Both Ali and Quinn were attentive and kind with great suggestions. We cannot wait to go back!

This is a great place for a special occasion. The server knew the menu in detail helping me navigate it due to my food restrictions. They provided a $10 parking validation that is conveniently located below the restaurant.

Unfortunately sharing our bad experience on here as the management team has not responded to us after over a week of us reaching out to discuss our experience, specifically trying to avoid this avenue as we had reached out privately.

I recognize that we are probably the exception to most experiences here but all the same ours is valid to be shared.

-New Years Eve.... $600 ish per couple, went to dinner with 2 of our best friends (It started at $255 or something per person, but we included some add-ons).

-After greeting our server it was over 45 minutes until we each received our 1 x (cold) Arancini per person... with odd metal taste.

-Bread ordered was only delivered 30 minutes after requesting and also cold, 1x slice per guest...

- Salad was fine, but it was like 6 leaves maybe.

- First pasta dish (wild boar) was tasty but within minutes made 3/4 guests sick to our stomachs (good to note all 3 of these guests, myself included, do not drink, so it wasn't the festivities affecting us). This lead to us taking our dessert to-go given the upset stomaches.

- Pasta (add-on item) was crunchy not al dente... idk even what to say about this... we did not finish that dish, as it followed the boar and the pain was starting to set in.

- Lamb was honestly terrible... 4/4 guests did not finish it after a few bites. Im very familiar with lamb, and I would give this a lower rating than the worst home cooked goose Ive personally made myself (which was a 1/10, hating on my own cooking abilities here).

I totally get a pre-fixed menu for New Years is not the same, but what bummed me out is that our New Years was instead spent sick in the bathroom, the food was far below expectations, the pricing was high but we expected it to be worth it as with other higher-end Denver restaurants.

For over $1200 (with only 1/4 participants drinking) and 3/4 participants getting sick and not even a call back from the management team after we reached out privately to discuss our experience for over a week, Im leaving my review here for all to see.

Wish we had the experience we had come to expect based on all these glowing reviews, but our experience was pretty damn bad.

At $1200 for the group, and 3/4 of us leaving sick, and not a peep from the management team, Id go as far as to call this robbery lol.

Most of the food was over salted. Definitely not worth the price.

We came here for an impromptu anniversary celebration. We felt nothing but loved and had a great time. Food was incredible. We will be back soon.

This place is fantastic and the food, service, cocktails and spirits list has never disappointed. The ravioli dish with the best I’ve ever had. The Branzino was perfect as well and my wife swears by the lamb ragu. Love it here and look forward to coming back.
