40 Best Italian Restaurants near Parker

“My Wife Eliana and I went to speak with Antonio and Gabriel about Catering her birthday party. After looking over the menu we chose chicken parmesan, meatballs, spaghetti with marinara, toasted ravioli and garlic knots. We eat here often so knew everything would be delicious! Our friends at the birthday celebration LOVED EVERYTHING and those that had not tried it now know how good it is and said they have to go try other things! Thank you Antonio, Gabriel and your amazing crew, you made my Wife's birthday celebration a huge success! Another great part was we had enough food left over for all to take some home, which everyone was extremely happy about..❤️.“

“I’m 43 and our server was one of the best I have HONESTLY ever had in my life. If I could give the service 10 stars I would. We added a bit of salt and pepper to the pastas but the base flavors were on par. The pizzasssss WOW so good. My favorite was the Brussels app. Holy cow chefs kiss. It was pretty loud at 630 pm but that’s peak hour so expected. First time coming here and we will absolutely again.“

“My family has been going to Micis in Parker almost every Wednesday after soccer practice for the past 8 weeks and tonight realized we won't be on that side of town as much. They have great prices on the kids menu which includes Gelato (which the kids love) and great deals if you sign up for their rewards and also online coupons. I wish they had a point system as we would've racked up the points. The young staff there are very polite and I love seeing such hardworking kiddos. Tonight I asked the few of the staff for their names as I personally wanted them to get a shoutout and we'll miss you on our Wednesday nights! Thank you Maycee, Reagan and Adrian!!!“

“The BEST pizza in Parker! Great pastas, cheese sticks.. my favorite 😍“

“Friday night is a busy night but not to worry, this place is all about exceeding your expectations. Shaylee the Head Hostess took my name and had us at a table in minutes flat. Just the beginning of the great experience. Once at our table our Server Kannika made some awesome suggestions and we selected our dinner. I selected the Seafood Alla Portofino a combo of Shrimp, New Zealand Mussels, Clams, Black Mussels and White Wine Sauce with Pasta. My friend Richard selected a 12" Mediterranean Pizza. This is a very Family Friendly place. There was a very diverse crowd but everyone was enjoying their time here. If you're looking for a Unique Italian Restaurant that has great food superior service and a relaxed atmosphere then Portofino is your place!“

“I have nothing bad to say about tonti's pizza especially Chris the owner he is a really nice polite and he remembers everybody who is a Frequent customer I recommend this place highly to anybody“

“Giant pizzas 🍕 family of 4 and still couldn’t finish it!“

“Solid spot with well crafted classics. My only criticism was that the dough seemed to be a little overworked in the garlic knots. This may be a personal preference by the chef. But the staff was very welcoming, and attentive. The music was good and included b-sides and not so well known pieces by well known artists. The portions were generous. I ate about half of my dish before i was stuffed. The chicken parm was fantastic. Perfectly tenderized chicken and a tasteful robust sauce.“

“First time experiencing Dolce Vita and the atmosphere and food was wonderful and cozy. I had lemon pesto salmon and my husband had the chicken picatta. Both were delicious and because it was our first time we received tiramisu on the house. Jay was our wonderful server and always checked up on us, kept our glasses full and made our visit enjoyable. Can’t wait to return and try out more dishes!“

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

The flavors were great, it was very authentic. It was not overwhelming at all reading the menu I wanted to try literally every dish. Amazing quality, amazing service, amazing food. I wish they were in Texas. We have nothing like that here. I will be back.“

“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.“

“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.“

She was so attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Service with a smile, our drinks, salad, soup and entrees came out very quickly. Thank you Olive Garden for hiring such great staff like Makenzie!“

The salad chef was so detail oriented and what a beautiful and delicious salad, house dressing was amazing. We had LuBo's thin crust pizza, so delicious. We are hooked, don't change a thing.“

“This honestly was the best pizza I’ve ever tried. I wanna say in the world, but I haven’t left the United States so I can confidently say best pizza ever in Colorado everything about it looks so fresh and juicy and very well cooked and well seasoned. I’m honestly very surprised and shocked of how good this is I wish I took more pictures to show you guys how good the pizza looks“

“The food is great, the service is amazing, the beer is so cold and everyone is so friendly. I love this place!“

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

“As a Coloradan, I don’t have much to say about the quality of food considering I don’t have much to compare. It tastes good to me, when asked for well done, the crust is crispy and cheese is soft/gooey.

The high rating for this location is all for the staff, specifically the general manager, Paul. I don’t think places need to have spectacular customer service for the food is the one needing to do the talking, but Paul’s welcoming and warm demeanor makes you want to come back. I misread the menu and mistakenly tried to get a salad with my combo. Paul, corrected my mistake gently and offered alternatives (even a discount). This location was having a little bit of a rush while I was in and Paul did not change his attitude a bit. He treated everybody to the same grace. Every other employee I saw had the same welcoming demeanor. To Paul and his staff at this location, thank you for providing me with good food and even better service!“

“Love their pizza! One of a few places we stop at when passing through Denver.“

“Counter guy needs a little retraining, good pizza though.
