Dishes are ok. Seafood is not the most fresh. Gnocchi is well made. Pasta is probably not freshly made. Bread is top notch.

Our go to place when we’re in Glenwood Springs for a night or two- we’ve even gone two nights in a row. We have a hard time not ordering the carbonara every time because it’s SO good, but everything we’ve had was phenomenal. When they have the watermelon salad app, get it, it is so refreshing and tasty. The atmosphere is perfect, staff is wonderful, and Vinny is incredible. I’m writing this review as I’m craving it from home, just thinking about when we can go next.

I just can’t say enough good things about this cute little place! The service was very good and the food was out of this world excellent. I had the lobster risotto and just wow! The lobster portion is very generous for the price and it was so succulent and perfectly cooked. The risotto was expertly made; the rice was perfectly al dente and the sauce was so delicious and plentiful. My friend had the spaghetti caprese and I had a taste of hers and it was also perfectly delicious. I highly recommend this hidden gem.

Staying for the night in Glenwood Springs on our road trip back to CA. Read some good reviews so we gave it a shot. The food was amazing. We had a great caesar salad, not too overly dressed. Then shared the rack of lamb and the house made mushroom ravioli. The rack of lamb was outstanding melt in your mouth perfectly cooked. Ravioli were excellent although.the cream sauce a little heavy. I think a simple butter herb sauce would have been better, but that is my personal taste. For dessert, we had the tiramisu. It was excellent and authentic. Reminded me of my time living in Florence, Italy.

The experience was amazing. From the moment I entered the door i experienced the best service I’ve ever known, and the food and wine proved to be even better than expected. I cannot wait to return.

We ordered the fritto misto, short rib risotto, the seafood pasta, mashed potatoes, garlic spinach, 3 glasses of the pinot grigio, and the tiramisu and cheesecake to go. With the exception of the cheesecake (because we haven't tried it yet) everything was phenomenal.

The atmosphere was perfect for a date night with low lights, just be informed it is a small space. They make the best with what they have.

They are really busy on Saturday evenings and did not take reservations over the phone. It put a bit of stress on the hosts, but after things died down everything went smoothly (we didn't really experience much of it, just saw when they started turning away large parties). We waited about 30 minutes.

Overall a great experience!

This is the best Italian we've had on the western slope. Both times we've gone here the meals were all absolutely amazing. This trip we had the garganelli with sausage and the brasado which has braised beef on top of house made gnocchi. 🔥🔥🔥

The pasta was pretty good. The place was very busy but that's good for the owner. Waiter was very nice. It's a very small place so seating is tight
