50 Best Italian Restaurants near Englewood

“Visiting from florida. Took our son and his girlfriend out last night for her birthday. They say this is their favorite restaurant. The food was beyond amazing and the desserts were delicious! We also had the most awesome server. I wish I got his name, but he has black hair and a goatee. Great sense of humor and made the night awesome. Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“The food is amazing! Our waitress was awesome as well. The only thing that left a sour taste in our mouth was the manager making it seem like we’re being rushed. I made a reservation a week earlier and when we showed up there was barley anyone there, the manager or owner or who ever she is said we had 1 hour and a half at max to finish our meal. This establishment is definitely not a turn and burn. If I’m spending over 25 dollars a plate I’m going to enjoy it with the feel or want to be rushed. That being said the food and our waitress definitely did not disappoint!“

“This is by far one of the very best dining experiences anyone can enjoy. The food is plentiful, served hot, delicious and cooked to perfection. You are always greeted by a polite staff member who makes you feel like family.“

“I have never had such great Italian. service is amazing food is very delicious. piping hot and doesn't take long. It's worth every penny. it also seems they make their own pasta and homemade items. ps I never review. Go!“

“The definition of the word osteria is a simple and inexpensive wayside inn... This restaurant is neither of the first two descriptors... Having said that, the food and service are both exceptional... Changing plates and silverware between each course might seem a little excessive and unnecessary, but it nevertheless was impressive as was the fact that the service team works together seamlessly. High ceilings give the impression of a space larger than it actually is and definitely does not feel as claustrophobic as tavernetta. We had been hoping for a suitable replacement for IL posto and this seems like it will be the one for us.
It would definitely help if there were more options in the $50 to $75 per bottle range... As far as we are concerned that would be the only complaint because everything that we tried (and we did quite a few items)... Was very good and definitely merits a repeat visit.“

“This is Chicago style place that loves their Chicago team sports.
It's a great place for Chicagoans to get a piece of home away from home. Has great Chicago examples of Italian food.
The food is great and the service is always great.
I will say the place does get a little hot during the summertime and I would definitely find a way to fix that. It REALLY needs to be fixed.
Overall, I do love the food and service but I love it a lot more in the Winter!
I'm really hoping the owners will see this post and remedy how hot it can get in here especially on hot days.
Other than that I would completely recommend this place to anyone.
The server they have is absolutely great and always is.
Try the Italian Beef Italian sausage sandwich it's amazing!
The pizza is super good as well! 🍕“

“I’d give more stars if I could! The food is fantastic, uses high quality ingredients, and always prepared with care. Our particular favorites are Not Yo’ Momma’s Margherita, Fried Chicken Sandwich, and Italian Sandwich. The manager and her staff are a pleasure to interact with, and this will be one of the few places we’ll miss from Colorado. Thank you for doing such a great job feeding us, and we’ll definitely be back if we’re ever in the state again 💜“

“Great pizza! I love how the crust wasn’t burned or over baked. I thoroughly enjoyed my Brooklyn pizza! I highly recommend this place! I will be a returning customer!“

“I was absolutely astonished and blown away by our whole entire experience with this team of individuals who sincerely care about their patrons. I am more than happy to report that these people that work at the restaurant really put their backs into it, as of course EVERYTHING is completely home made. I’ll spare you the details on the wine, and desert because those specific delicacies could never be described with words. There are other options you can eat here if you’re not looking to spend a lot of money, but after eating their menu you’ll see why they are always packed. Getting a reservation is highly recommended as some nights you can’t even get a table the same week.“

“Great food. A must when your in Denver“

“Everything is fabulous!!!“

“I have hearing loss. I asked for I quiet table. The management was TERRIFIC in accommodating my needs; I was offered the choice of three tables. The service was excellent too. Our entrees were well prepared, especially the Pollo all Milanese. The entire evening was a pleasure, thank you to the Venice service and kitchen staff“

“‘Na Favola is amazing, truly authentic Italian food - just like in Rome! Take my (roman) word for it! Daniele, Silvio and Co: Daje!!!!“

“It is a fairly different concept for ordering and seating so just be prepared. It would probably move quicker if the food sucked but it’s amazing and that’s why there is a crowd. It’s worth it and the food does come out pretty fast. The pricing was fantastic for the value as well.“

“Amazing food! Amazing atmosphere! The staff is always great, accommodating, and helpful with pronouncing the names of the food on the menu. If you’re looking for an authentic Italian food experience, Il Forno Di Tutti is the place for you!“

“We had a fantastic dinner last night! Easy to get a reservation and they were ready for us the minute we arrived. Makayla was our waitress and she was amazing! She had great knowledge of the menu and was spot on in her recommendations! Kudos to kitchen as everything was perfect!“

“This is my favorite restaurant! The food has a sensuous and complex flavor profile while also being rustic Italian. You will not find a better pomodoro sauce anywhere unless your grandma is from Italy and has a long held family recipe. The pasta is hand made and has a perfect texture and amazing flavor with the sauce. The house made buratta is the freshest, creamiest and thickest you’ll enjoy outside of select NYC restaurants that are famous for making their own mozzarella, ricotta or buratta. And the staff treat their guests like they’ve invited you into their own home. Jessica was amazing! All together, going to Luca’s is like getting the perfect big warm hug.“

“Intimate restaurant that serves delicious food. The servers Josh & Schafer are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The service is phenomenal! Bettola catered a party for me and did a spectacular job!“

“One of the finest restaurants in Denver, owned by one of the best hip hop music promoters! Great food, great atmosphere, great music!“

“I love this place! Fresh food, absolutely delicious, friendly staff, and a welcoming atmosphere. Beyond 5 stars!“

“We had a fantastic experience at Venice! We’ve lived in Denver for 20 years and we never knew this place existed. Great atmosphere and the food was amazing, so authentic! We went with our 3 kids (13, 10 and 10), they ordered off the kids menu and loved the fettuccini Alfredo. The service was excellent, and our server, Gillian was on point. I can’t say enough good things about him. We will most definitely be back. I would recommend this place to anyone. This place is really nice and intimate feeling. Great for a date night or a family dinner, so long you have well behaved kids who love good food.“

“Loved it💚🤍♥️ I had the Lobster Ravioli and it was so delicious. The Hostess, Service, Waiter were all awesome! And most importantly great atmosphere. Thank you!!“

“Restaurants, ambient noise level is hard to carry on a conversation. Why the restaurant continues to pump in music that you can't even hear other than the base is beyond me. Food is great service was great. Just don't plan on having a conversation would not be good for a first date.“

“So delicious The food and wine and dessert were fantastic“

“Had an amazing dinner and an amazing server Noah!!! 10/10 experience!! Every bite of food was amazing and everyone was excited to eat their leftovers!!“

“Our visit last night was not the experience I was hoping for. We have gone to Amici's for years. Our first time was way back when they were still at 53rd. and Sheridan. I had the eggplant parmesan, which was very good. I don't know if the kitchen staff changes, or what? The eggplant portion was very small, three slices of eggplant the size of a silver dollar.“

“Amazing food! Fantastic seasonal options! A hidden gem of Denver.“

“We had an Uber delivery gone wrong. Pretty sure, the bag was dropped. Either way the manager Sarah went above and beyond to make things right eventhough it was not even the stores fault. I couldn't be happier with the way she cared so much and tried to fix everything.“

“I think I just had my 2nd best pizza in my life!
Had a 12” sausage with green and red peppers with their Garlic olive oil contraption.
Had them cook just a touch extra as I like my pizza a little more done…(but not Burnt) it was just right! ON POINT!

Wife had a perfect calzone
So did my son another perfect calzone!!

On point very good will definitely be back!!

Thanks
P.S. staff was great as well“
