28 Best Italian Restaurants near Lone Tree

“The best Italian in the area!“

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

“Oh my! The cannolis from Carmines Pizza & Pasta are bites from heaven! The best in Italian cuisine is right here!“

“I'm from Michigan, and my wife and I wanted to try a mountain pizza. We saw this one specifically had 4 star rating compared to another location, but if you look at the recent section of the reviews, it was nothing but 5 stars. We gave it a shot, and we were not disappointed. Everyone was friendly, and more importantly, the pizza was tasty. We got the Aiden's street specialty pizza.“

“Mom-and-pop shop that serves pasta and salad literally in paper buckets. The noodle options are cavatappi, penne, and spaghetti, and there are numerous sauce options. The cavatappi was cooked slightly over-al dente, but the marinara was excellent — the spicy marinara is a home run. The pasta bowl sizes are called small, medium, and family, which translate to big, giant, and humongous because the family is 24 ounces.

Garlic bread comes with each pasta order, and it's made to order, and it's crispy, buttery, and garlicky. The salads — also made to order — come in the medium bucket. The mac and cheese (cooked to order) is also flavorful. Meat options are sausage, meatballs, and chicken.

The paper buckets are tightly sealed by a plastic lid, and I'm confident that transporting the food would not result in a spill.

The food is prepared by Patrick, one of the owners, and patrons can sit and wait and converse with him, as we did when we dropped by. He said his goal is to make feeding families more affordable for the South Denver area.

They have a free miniature arcade set up, as well, for those who want to pass the time while waiting. It's the original three Mortal Kombats as of November 2024. There is no dine-in option here; it's strictly order to go.

The shop is connected to the Great Harvest shopping center — just have to swing around the corner to the south.“

“Every dish was fantastic and just the right portions for lunch!“

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“Visited for first time after receiving a mailer coupon. The reviews were good so we tried it and am very glad we did! We went for a late lunch and were greeted nicely upon our arrival and told to sit wherever we would like. The restaurant is small but cozy. We ordered Caprese, Chicken Parmesan, and GF Penne and Italian Sausage and they tasted great! They offer lots of GF options and the pasta tasted homemade. We will be back and highly recommend.“

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

“While the catchphrase "hidden gem" is overused I think it applies perfectly to Oliver's. It's definitely a gem and is tucked away in a nondescript location. But omg is the food awesome! We've been to a wine tasting, several happy hours and dinner, and each time has been wonderful. These guys & gals know what they are doing. The ambience is casual and friendly but bustling and the staff are a joy to interact with. Oliver's is on our top 10 go-to list. I'm hungry just thinking about it!!

Kid-friendliness: Not so much for small children in my opinion but older kid would be fine I'm sure.“

“I’ve found very few pizza places in the Denver area that have pizza close to what I had in Italy. This is one of them. Delicious food and friendly service. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Italiano vero a Denver! Na favola expertly represents real Italian cuisine and hospitality. The plates are perfectly executed and served by a warm and welcoming staff who are all from Italy. All of their sauces are crafted in house, and the pizzas are authentic Roman style, with quality Italian ingredients. Every course of the meal was absolutely on point. You have to try it!“

“Excellent food and amazing service. I felt like I was in a 5 star to the point of being spoiled. Enjoy!“

“My husband and I tried Chianti on Valentines Day and fell in love with it. The food, service, and atmosphere were amazing. We went back last night for our anniversary. We were blown away again. This is now our favorite restaurant.“

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

“We heard about this place from the news and had to come see for ourselves. It surpassed our expectations! The family pictures on the wall made you want to know more about the family history, and were a beautiful tribute to the family recipes being served. The calzone was DELICIOUS! I ordered the pizza to-go because why not? Jen made my husband and I feel right at home and she was so friendly! We will DEFINITELY come back for the food, the atmosphere, and the staff (absolutely LOVED JEN!)“

“The food was excellent, homemade noodles and red sauce with meatballs. The service was great and the atmosphere was very nice. We will be back soon!“

“This was a pleasant surprise. We went on a whim expecting just burgers but this place is so much more. Their cook burgers to the perfection, 1/2 pound of pure goodness. Make sure to have their cocktails, specially the signature ones (spoiler alert, they have always sunny in Phil themed drinks). The place has two sections, one is more of a bright lounge area and the other is a speak easy with very comfortable seating.“

“We hosted our best friends to a dinner at Danielle's that was recommended by other dear friends. We were very impressed by the quality of the dishes. Calamari, Danielle's favorite Chicken with lemon-butter sauce, Pork Osso Bucco, Chicken Piccata with lemon risotto, and bacon-chicken with mac-n-cheese. Finished off with skillet brownie and vanilla bean ice cream. Leonè was a superb server💗👏“

“The food is delicious, the interior is beautiful and classy but not stuffy. Our server was great!“

“The best pizza and wings!! A warming family with really good food….what’s not to love?“

“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)“

“Good food, good wine, good prices, friendly staff.“

“This is such a wonderful place. The food is excellent, their gelato is amazing and the people are always really nice. There was a gentleman working the register on Tuesday, July 16th at the lunch hour who was particularly helpful and kind. It is honestly hard to find these days and it's a relief when a member of the service industry is nice. Mici is also very community focused and giving. I believe this is a family owned business and I'll be happy to continue to support them in any way I can and I'll start by eating their delicious food.“

“Overall, it was a great first experience! Really enjoyed the happy hour where drinks and apps were half off. Fave dish were the Italian eggrolls. I appreciated the slight fusion of cuisine and each crispy, cheesy, meaty bite. The service was very attentive, and the place was decorated with locals and Halloween cheer. Other menu highlights were the meatballs, which were very tender, the chicken parm, and I saw many people ordering mussels. Great find in this area“

“My new go-to Greek restaurant has been discovered. Gyros plate was fresh, tender & very flavorful gyros, saffron rice and made from scratch tzaziki. Greek salad had crisp fresh cukes, great dressing. Chicken wrap was very good as well. We'll be back.“
