They were efficient, polite and friendly, Whoever trained them did a superb job. OLG is very fortunate to have such great employees. We will definitely go back.“

“Great place for a Ladies Day Out❣️“

“When Parry's gets it right, their food is good. The problem is they rarely get it right and then they NEVER actually come through to fix it. Don't bother complaining...they never actually credit your or follow through. And good lord! Door Dash throws it in the trunk and makes a huge mess. Yet again another $60 gone. Shame on me for not learning.“

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

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Visiting town and everyone was so welcoming! Food was great! Will definitely return next time I’m in the area.“

“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!“

“Atmosphere has a pleasant and comfortable bistro feel. The service was excellent in every way. The food was true Italian, great lasagna and linguine. Presentation was refined but not foo foo. Deserts divine, tiramisu and lemoncello cake top shelf. Casual family dining or date night, they’ve got you covered.“

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

“Birthday lunch with my parents was great. Service was on point and so personal (they brought my mom a dessert with a candle!) We had pasta, sandwich and pizza and all were delicious. Atmosphere was happy, decorative, and just a fun and lively place. Will back many more times.“

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

“My husband placed the order for me to grab on my way home so I was there earlier than a pizza could be expected to be ready. They were kind, gave me some water while I waited and apologized unnecessarily for the wait. Good pizza and the antipasto salad was great!“

“Been here many times. The old owners are now gone. The new owners straight from Europe The Giaqnni family has changed the plate ware, expanded wine and beer, same chef's and are starting a lunch menu and they say soon a breakfast menu. I had 15 for dinner Saturday night. Food great, fun and wait staff engaging. Owners visited as well. You will like the new settings.“

“Food was great, Service was great, but trying to get around and park was a total mess. Don't like the location. Castle Rock folks can have it to themselves.

Parking: The area it is located in is just a mess for traffic and getting around. The circle drives cause a lot of issues.“

“We moved away 14 years ago. Tonight we had a chance to visit Angie's and were so pleased that it is still the same delicious food, great service, and welcoming atmosphere. Gosh, we've missed you, Angie's! So good to see co-owner Jen, too!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Exceptional Customer Service

My fiancé and I dined at Olive Garden tonight. At the end of our meal, while I was packaging my leftovers, I noticed a hair in my pasta sauce. I showed our waiter, and he immediately offered to have a fresh plate remade for me to take home, which I really appreciated.

Before our food had arrived earlier in the evening, the manager, John, had stopped by our table to introduce himself—which already felt like a thoughtful gesture. After the waiter addressed the issue, John came by again personally to apologize for the hair in my food. He not only arranged for my pasta to be remade, but he also gave us a generous discount on our bill, as well as provided us with a gift card to use on our next visit.

I was genuinely shocked by the level of customer care and the way John handled the situation. His professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to making things right turned an unfortunate moment into an incredibly positive experience. I left feeling very taken care of and grateful.

We will absolutely be returning. Thank you, John, and team!“

“This is one of the BEST Italian restaurants in the Denver area with great atmosphere! The servers and food were the best. Veal piccata and bread yummy Just disappointed that the Hostess was not welcoming (maybe having a bad day, which is understandable-it just brought us down)“

“Everything that the restaurant could do to make this meal wonderful they did. The lower marks were because of some of the patrons who let their children scream and cry without considering other guests. Towards the end of our meal, a family came in with several children who decided the restaurant was the perfect place to scream, run and play tag. This really did impact our enjoyment. The server was excellent and very busy! We were NOT forgotten. They took great care of our meal and our drinks!“

“Love the menu, great wine selection, prices reasonable, and great staff!!“

“The pizza here is the closest to NY Pizza we've found in South Metro Denver. It's consistently good. The service is top notch. The whole team are friendly. To the customers but especially to each other. Everyone seems to legitimately enjoy working here. We hardly ever eat out, but this place is worth it.“

“Great food and service! Shout out to the manager on Oct 14th—she was so patient and kind while training her staff on a busy Friday night. We had exceptional service from Alex, the young cashier. My 88-year-old dad, who has dementia, was with me, and Alex took the time to chat with him, even when he repeated himself. Such a kind and genuine person—Garramone’s is lucky to have staff like this!“
