Decent Italian food at a very good price point. The garlic bread was delicious, and dairy-free!
My review may not be worth much because we are biased! We don't get to visit much now but we love this place because of the role it has played in our lives over 20+ years.

Food has gone downhill in The last few years. Had a wonderful glass of wine BUT the last sip had all the sediment in it. Took it to the bar tender and was told “it’s only sediment” I knew that but you don’t serve it that way! Not the way I want to end my meal!

Delicious authentic Italian food, cozy and very attentive and accommodating staff. Very fair prices and plenty of off street parking in a cute neighborhood. I'll definitely be back soon.

We went on a Saturday evening. Restaurant opens at 5pm. We arrived at 4:45 and were first in line. By the time 5pm rolled around there was a line of about 30 people waiting to be let in. Reservations can only be made by calling and they only answer the phone when they are open- in the evenings, so plan ahead. We were a party of 5 and they had to push tables together to accommodate our party. Service was excellent. We were in a hurry so quickly decided and placed our order as we saw that at least 15 tables were all seated at 5. We all had drinks and dinner and bill was reasonable. Food was excellent and service was prompt and very accommodating of our requests. Meat Lasagna was excellent. The veal marsala was also excellent and smothered in sautéed mushrooms with a great flavor. Portions were generous but not huge. We were seated at 5pm and were out the door by 6:15. Park on 23rd street. Get here early to get a table and if you are in a rush let them know and order promptly and they will take care of you. This was our first trip here but definitely will not be our last.

I love a place with neighborhood vibes, but think it’s fair to set expectations for food! The food is mid, and sadly bolognese was the most disappointing. The chicken piccata and garlic bread are a safer bet, but if you’re looking for great pasta dishes, I’ve still yet to find a great (affordable) place in Denver! Would come back to enjoy a glass of wine with a friend on their patio in summer, but not the food.

Cherry tomato is in our neighborhood, but I’d make a drive to dine there any day. Best dirty martinis in town, and my hard-to-please Italian husband loves everything on the menu. We love the staff too!

Pretty good food, full of flavor that just didn't always come together into a cohesive meal. But thr service was quick, kind and generally great. The atmosphere is cozy but busy.

Great little restaurant in the heart of Park Hill. We love the atmosphere for solo dining, couples dining, and even a group (although tough to get group seating). My favorite dish so far is the pasta specialty dish (I fergetttt the name of it), as I ate every last morsel and even finished every last drop of the sauce. Service is great but can be strained at time just due to the capacity. If you're in a hurry, maybe explore other dinner rush options. But for us, this little spot is a gem and I'm always glad to return.
