16 Best Italian Restaurants in Fort Collins

“7-day a week Happy Hour from 4 pm to 6 pm -- Woo Hoo! Get there early as there are only around 10 seats at the bar but this Happy Hour is so outstanding you want to work your way through all the items -- how about a Margherita Pizza for $7! Or a Dry-Aged Cheeseburger Platter with Fries for $12! Or Truffle Fries as a great snack with a cocktail for $5! And on top of that last night (11-14-22) I had the best Prosciutto I've had in years as part of an Antipasti and if I'd gotten that alone it would have been just $5!!! The place is lovely and the staff are all very gracious and hospitable -- this Happy Hour gets my 5 stars!!!“

“This place is so good! The portions are huge and the food is delicious. Carmen our waitress was so attentive and friendly. Loved the atmosphere and their thin crust reminded me of Chicago pizza.“

“Awesome service, pet friendly in outdoor seating area, and the Local Sausage Pizza was fabulous. Thanks Luke and Andrea.“

“Great food and efficient service!“

“This is the best run Olive Garden we've ever been to. Surprisingly there was no line and we got right in. Unlike other Olive Gardens there's always a line and a 20 minute wait even though there are lots of empty tables. This location obviously has their act together. Adequate staff so people are seated right away at an empty table. The food came out piping hot too! I had the largest cut of lasagna ever. I've been to other Olive Gardens that served the lasagna about half the size of what I got. Our server was very attentive as well. Next time we're in town we'll come back for sure.“

“We’ve tried almost every pizza place in town and Cozzola’s keeps becoming our go-to. The crust has that perfect balance of crispy and chewy, and the toppings actually taste fresh instead of overly processed. Pickup was right on time and the staff is always super friendly. Highly recommend the garlic bread and Hanna’s pizza if you’re trying them for the first time.“

“BEST CANNOLIS IN TOWN ❤️ If only I had an unlimited supply 😋“

“Domenic’s in Fort Collins is the kind of old-school Italian restaurant that understands atmosphere is just as important as anything else. The moment you walk in, the noise of the outside world fades away, replaced by warm lighting, classic Italian charm, and the feeling that you’re about to settle in for a memorable evening rather than simply another dinner reservation.

The Old Fashioned set the tone from the very first sip. Beautifully presented in an elegant rocks glass cradling a flawless oversized ice cube, it was perfectly balanced, smooth, and crafted with genuine attention to detail. It’s the kind of cocktail that reminds you why classics became classics in the first place.

The service was equally impressive—friendly, attentive without hovering, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. Every interaction felt effortless, creating the kind of relaxed experience that keeps people coming back.

Domenic’s is one of those rare places that gets the little things right. Between the inviting atmosphere, impeccable service, and one of the finest Old Fashioneds I’ve had in a long time, it’s an easy five-star experience.“

“Excellent food, great staff. La Piadina is top drawer.“

“I looked at reviews for this place and decided to go elsewhere a couple times. Today I decided to give it a try and I was so glad that I did. I wanted a late lunch, a good drink and great service and I got all three.

I’ve been to some of the more well-known Italian restaurants in the downtown Foco area and they are good. But it baffled me to be here and see the not- so -stellar reviews that were made. It could’ve been because I didn’t have the dinner service, but I was beyond pleasantly surprised at the house salad and Panino that I ordered. It was actually a very large portion for a great price.
I certainly will come here again because the bartender and the server were just so wonderful and made the experience that much better.“

“Just had one of the best pizzas ever. Also the dipping sauce for bread sticks was delish. The experience was perfect.“

“been going for 40 years and I've always loved the place. no better pizza around.“

“Only tried the mountain crust pizza but it was really good 💯“

“Delicious pizza at a great price, not a long wait for food.“

“My absolute favorite pizza place in town! The pizza is to die for, you can get it by the slice, freshly cooked in their oven. The staff is always so kind and helpful. They must use a magic wand on their dough because it's the best crust I've ever had.

Pro-tip: show up mid-afternoon to have the place to yourself and the most attentive service.“

“food and service was great and thank you!!!“
