50 Best Italian Restaurants near Federal Heights

“Wow, great wings!!, the yummiest unique pizzas. Had the 24" New York sausage and mushrooms pizza and 24 medium wings to go. Pizza just barely Fit in the back seat of the car. We've been going here since they opened!!“

“Amazing, as is commonly our experience at Spuntino. The service was particularly good, lovely drinks, great wine, and terrific food - from the focassia and ricotta through the South Indian take on arancini, to the pastas, shrimp and chicken. Loved it all!“

“Great food. A must when your in Denver“

“Everything is fabulous!!!“

“Ordered drinks, waiter returned for order, appetizers arrived, no drinks, server said bartender was busy, drinks came halfway through appetizers, gave us bill and dessert at same time, no acknowledgement of birthday… made a deal of checking beforehand“

“Great Food and friendly staff!“

“Their gluten free options are outstanding!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Delicious food especially the lasagna. Amazing desserts.“

“I just had the butternut squash ravioli and it was amazing!! I might come back tomorrow and have it all over again 🤩“

“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.“

“Most authentic hit the spot made with love Italian food I have ever eaten in all of Colorado absolutely astonished with everything I’ve eaten here never disappoints if I could I’d give them 10 stars absolutely delicious🤤 ♥️🙌🏽“

“Fantastic service, The food was amazing. We went for our anniversary and we totally enjoyed the night. Can't wait to go back ❤️“

“Wow! The food was so insanely good it made me want to lick the plate clean, every bite was worth savoring. The whole vibe is effortlessly cool, with an atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. What really sealed the deal was the customer service. The owner was down to earth, friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcome. If you're anywhere near the area, do yourself a favor and stop by Bar Red. You’ll walk out already planning your next visit.“

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

“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!“

“My boyfriend and I had dinner here on 11/15/25. The food was wonderful, the service was great and everyone was so friendly. We don’t live in Denver but we visit often so we will be back.“

“We went for lunch or the first time today and had the amazing lunch. We eachhad the lunch special, which includes a specialty Pizza and a salad of your choice for starting at $14.50. I had the funguy Pizza, which is a Mushroom Pizza. It was absolutely amazing. I ordered mine without arugula , as I do not perfer that. It was so good that I ordered a full size to take home for dinner. Our server was Jordan and she was awesome. Very friendly and knowledgeable. The only downside I have to say is that their drinks were just okay. We had a Italian spritzer that was kind of tart, and then I ordered a Vodka martini, which they said they do not commonly make, and I could tell why... I sent it back and ended up getting a glass of red wine but the pinot noir was mediocre at best. I think management should up their Wine selection and quality, if they're going to pair with Italian dishes. I would definitely go back and order more Pizza and the meatballs look amazing as well.“

“Love this place! Great service and fantastic food!“

“The food is excellent!!! I highly recommend if you’re a pasta lover!“

“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.“

“We decided to try this location as we've enjoyed the one in Westminster previously and had great experiences but this location was closer to home. Great food and our waitress, Valerie was really awesome. Great personality and exceptional service. Even the General Manager was making the rounds and ensuring everything was going smoothly. We'll definitely be back and sitting at Valerie's table.“

“Huge variety of food and all dishes are delicious.“

“The food tastes very good, the spaghetti I like is a must“

“We were the only ones in there and was a bit skeptical at first but the pizza was so good. The owner was so friendly and welcoming and he made great recommendations. We had the enzo and the pig and cow and both were awesome. The crust was so light and crispy and pairing on the pig and cow was awesome. We aren't from the area so I was happy we stumbled upon this place and will definitely come when I visit again!“

“BEST PIZZA EVER! The staff is amazing, the restaurant is beautiful, but the food…delicious!“

“We received a gift card from a family member at Christmas and decided to use it on a Saturday night in January. The restaurant was packed but there was seating in the bar area, so we decided, what the heck(!) and went to the bar. Once seated we were greeted with the friendliest bar staff, Marissa and Tiernan. We wanted a glass of red and Marissa recommended the Porta Vita Italia. It is a delicious bargain and we were so impressed (and now hooked!). Our food was and continues to be great, as now we have become Saturday night regulars! We are Italian and honestly did not think we could get a traditional and tasty meal at a chain. Marissa and Tiernan, thank you for the excellent, friendly customer service and sweetness. You both are classy, sassy and super bad-**sy! We always look forward to our Saturday nights hanging with you both! See you next time, Cheers!“

“Great customer service! Nice welcome when you head in and positive attitude. Pizza was ready in less than 10 min for carry out. It was delicious with great toppings and perfect cheesiness! Absolutely love their pizza for any occasion.“

“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.“

“We had an absolutely fantastic Valentine's Day dinner last night! The special 5 course menu was incredible -- I loved the tomato bisque soup and the salad was perfection. We both got the gnocchi as our mains and it was AMAZING. A wonderful tres leches cake topped it off. Great, great service as well. Thanks to the staff for making it such a special occasion.“

“We picked up pizzas for a large group activity. They were super kind, we had to wait a little bit for the pizza but we ordered a lot. So we had no problem waiting. The owner is very nice and helpful, the workers carried the pizzas to the car was very nice. Also best cannolis I have ever had, definitely freshly made.“

“The food was absolutely delicious and wish I had a bigger stomach to order more. We had the most incredibly kind and hilarious waiter Quinn I would highly recommend for a girls night or a date night. Dishes are the perfect size for sharing!“

“the food was really good and the staff was friendly a little bit overpriced but other than that a really good experience“

“What a great place to chow down! Everything was amazing. Highly recommend if you are in the mood for some great pasta and pizza. Loved the Meatballs for app and the bolognese was on point. The wife had the scallops which were a little off in my opinion, but we are in Colorado. Awesome drinks, Negroni was yummy. Tiramisu and Espresso were also excellent.“

“Wow! Who knew there was such an authentic Italian venue in Denver. Homemade artisan pasta with creative sauces and entrees. Try the bolognese as it is one of a kind. The wood-fired pizza reminded us of what we had in Venice, IT! The bar and wine list is loaded with special finds. My wife found the Paloma cocktail to be fabulous. I fell in love with wine list especially. If you’re in Denver this is a MUST! Cheers.“

“There were two very large, very loud parties in the main dining room. We could not have a conversation. We should have left and gone somewhere else. It was so disappointing. We have eaten at Zucca before, it was always very pleasant on weekdays. I kept apologizing to our friends as I picked the restaurant and made the reservation. The wait staff did an admirable job. I won't be going back.“

“Great experience all around!“

“Excellent food and service. Homemade pasta, bread, desserts. These guys know what they are doing. Service was outstanding - very attentive without being annoying. Highly recommend.“

“Delish food and great service all in a beautiful but comfortable setting.“

“Hands down best cheesesteak I’ve ever had. Being from South Jersey, I’ve had my fair share of cheesesteaks and this honestly may have beat any that I’ve ever had back in Jersey or Philly. Don’t let the price dissuade you, this can feed two people and you’ll both be happy! Didn’t have to add anything to it, it’s that good. I got it with American cheese & a side of fries for the Wednesday lunch special! Hard to find a good cheesesteak out here, but I will be back and I will be sending everyone I know here! Beyond happy with everything!“

“This place is a hidden gem. The good news is there is a strip mall parking lot across the street because on street parking is scarce. The bison meatballs are excellent and the Ceasars salad is good. I had the steak with gnocchi and it was excellent! The gnocchi was home made and flavorful. My wife had the pasta rigate and the sauce was amazing and the noodles were homemade. We will be back soon to try more!!“

“I came to Denver from New Jersey for a Storm Chaser Convention, we have a couple steak houses back home but nothing comes close to this, I ordered a ribeye steak with a side of fries, the steak was cooked to perfection with the fat of the steak being glorious. I really wish we had something like this back home, the staff was welcoming and very kind. Thank you for the wonderful experience!“

“Stopped at the Aurora location on whim. Under new management. Amazing food and lovely family owned business. Took home some extra dishes for later. Give it a try!“

“Always yummy! Been coming here for years 👏❤️“

“The pizza is phenomenal! We had a thin crust, pepperoni, sausage(made in house), mushrooms, garlic and jalapeños. FANTASTIC The servers are so attentive and personable. Make you feel like you’re home. I’ve heard great things about this place and I believe they’re all true! I’m definitely going back ! Our server Cecily was the best. So friendly and fun!“

“My husband and I had the most wonderful meal and dining experience at Bucatino's last week. Everyone from our waiter to the greeters to the servers and helpers and especially to the owner James made us truly feel like we were eating in family's home. Warm, welcoming and just so delicious! If you have not. tried Bucatino Trattoria Romana in Lafayette you are missing out on wonderful dining experience! Thank you to James, to your chef, and to all of your staff for putting so much care into what you do for all of us!“

“Clean and spacious location... good food... and excellent kindness and courtesy staff... especially Nathan... we will definitely be back and recommend.“

“Absolutely amazing food. I had a great date tonight and I was so glad that we were able to be at your restaurant. Great chicken scallopini with mushrooms and great red wine :-). Our waiter was outstanding!“

“This past Friday night at the Denver Airport, I had THE BEST PIZZA I’ve had since I was in Rome 15 years ago! The crust was so light, so tender, I thought it might fly away. Incredible service too!“
