Food was good. not amazing by any means .. It was 55 degrees Inside!!! I know it was 10 degrees F outside but this was unacceptable. less than 10% of staff or patron had taken their winter jackets off. when asked about the temp.server said the wall heater would heat up. he tried 3x and it never came on..... it was unbearable. ordered the special chicken riggies- noodles and sauce tastes good, chicken was overcooked- had a hard time cutting with a fork . we left as soon as we got the check ...

Garbage. Both some of the worst pasta and service I’ve ever had. Our party was not that big (around 8 people), but it still took a good 1/5 hours for our food to come out. Meanwhile, we were served what has to be to worst, most rinky dink pathetic garlic bread I’ve ever seen (think 2 inch squares burnt to a crisp with a light dusting of expired garlic powder). Meanwhile, after waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting (pasta boils in about 7 minutes, right…?) we get our plates…except I asked for chicken on mine, which did not happen…and, oh, chicken or not, it was the blandest, nastiest plate of pasta I have ever had. I took 3 bites and had to push it away. My brother and nephew tried some, too, and totally agreed after a single bite. Foul, bland, and nasty…but probably would’ve been edible with chicken. Alas.

The food is very mediocre here which wouldn't be an issue if the wait times weren't egregious. To top it off, this place is extraordinarily dirty and run down. If this was a dive bar I would say it's just fine. But this is a restaurant. The wall next to the table where we were sitting was covered with a very thick layer of black fuzz that I'm hoping wasn't mold. We tried this place about 7 years ago and hadn't been back since. We went this week and now remember why.

Not impressed. Horrible management and service. Everything smells burnt. Thick black smoke in the air. Trip hazards all the way to the bathroom. We ordered a salad to split and it's about 5 bites of nothing for $8. Upon coming back from the bathroom 3 servers where doing paperwork over my child's seat, car seat, and diaper bag. I asked if they where going to be hanging out there. The bartender looked at me snapped! She said, "I JUST TOLD HER TO WATCH OUT! I said, ok? This is my stuff and my child's things are they going to be here? She goes, " DO YOU WANT TO MOVE?? DO YOU EVEN WANT TO BE IM PUBLIC??" I'm like not in those smokey teup hazard place. Where is your manager? She said. " I AM THE MANAGER!!" my bf switched baby and I spots because they continued to ivade our space and privacy. Over a 17 month old baby. I told the server we where going to leave. A women apparently the owner came up and started harassing us and yelling in our face!? We told her 3 times we where leaving as she is yelling at us. Shut this place down. I smell like smoke, and my hair and clothes feel damaged. I can hardly breathe, walking out. Avoid!!! Disgusting. Good luck attacking families. My bf had to tell her to stop causing a scene and she blocked my child's stuff more standing over my things in the way blocking us from moving threatening the police. Lol I wish I called the police. Never again.

Amazing food, great service. Really enjoyed my pasta here. Got the special, chicken riggies and it was fantastic. Only complaint I would say is add more chicken but the server totally made up for that by shaving fresh parm all over the dish. Highly recommend this place for a good American Italian experience.

Our favorite Italian restaurant in Denver! A unique setting in an old church. Historic indoor seating area shared with the kitchen. Great, large outdoor patio. Food is very good and the service is always interesting! Great kids specials as well.
Food was delicious, as well as the wine! Service was efficient, especially since it was a busy Sunday night following a broncos game. They did a great job! Definitely returning.

Delicious food. I sometimes crave the chicken picatta from here. Good food and safe neighborhood.
My experience was not good at all. The shrimp was spoiled and the dish overall is not anything I would ever try at this place again. Also called ahead to make sure espresso martinis were served there but when we got there we were told that the espresso machine was broken so I couldn’t get my drink. Overall would not recommend as even my coworkers dishes were not anything special.

I wouldn't come here if I was trying to impress someone. Across the board everything was just okay. It's just a step above the chain restaurant that serves Italian food. It's priced well but it's definitely a situation of you get what you pay for.

Atmosphere is great but the service was slow and the food came out cold. We were forced to pay an 18% tip because we had a party of 6 so it wasnt negotiable. The waiters were nice though.

From one small business owner to another you are very much appreciated ❤️
We were in from Chicago and wanted a nice italian meal out on a Friday night. We found this restaurant on Google and we are so happy we did! When we arrived there was a 30 minute wait, absolutely worth the wait!
We never had to ask, the hostess was super sweet. As we sat outside on the benches enjoying the beautiful evening she updated us 3 times, we never had to ask.
Luke our waiter was fantastic with service, recommendations and was very personable.
Coming from the Chicago area we know Italian food. The food here was delicious with generous portions and really good pricing. The atmosphere was exactly what we needed. We will recommend this restaurant to everyone we know.
A very at home feeling ❤️
Thank you for adding another positive memorable moment to our business vacation! I have to end this now so i can devour the dessert we brought back to the hotel ?
Good food, good atmosphere
