50 Best Italian Restaurants near Sheridan

“My server, Addison was absolutely lovely!
I sat outside on the gorgeous sunny patio for a GF crust Pearl Pizza, salad, and Happy Hour glass of wine!! Nice mix of music - meeting all tastes! Deeelish and delightful afternoon at this wonderful location with a spectacular view of The Rocky Mountains!“

“Wonderful server! Matthew was attentive, made great and helpful suggestions and added a great element to our dining experience. we ordered focaccia and roasted garlic for the table and the bread serving was really small, and the warm olives were great. Salad was excellent, as was the desserts, but we found the Carbonara pasta wasn't quite cheesy/eggy enough for our taste. Nevertheless we enjoyed dinner and appreciated the excellent service.“

“Everything is fabulous!!!“

“Great food. A must when your in Denver“

“Ordered drinks, waiter returned for order, appetizers arrived, no drinks, server said bartender was busy, drinks came halfway through appetizers, gave us bill and dessert at same time, no acknowledgement of birthday… made a deal of checking beforehand“

“Great Food and friendly staff!“

“It is a fairly different concept for ordering and seating so just be prepared. It would probably move quicker if the food sucked but it’s amazing and that’s why there is a crowd. It’s worth it and the food does come out pretty fast. The pricing was fantastic for the value as well.“

“We ate here last night and it was phenomenal! Both of our entrees were delicious (I got the pasta rustica, my fiancé got a calzone) and the service was incredible. The tiramisu was some of the best I’ve ever had in my life. At the end of the night we talked to the new owner who had been serving us throughout the evening, and she couldn’t have been more kind and welcoming. It sounds like this place already had a good reputation, but I can’t wait to see what Nancy does with it! She’s a star. We’re not from this area but if we’re ever back we’ll go out of our way to come back here!“

“Fantastic food (we had the lobster ravioli special) and great service!“

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

“Their gluten free options are outstanding!“

“A wonderful place. The food is exceptionally delicious—not just tasty, but absolutely amazing. The staff is very polite, and the atmosphere is lovely.“

“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“

“Family owned. Traditional menu. Fabulous desserts. Friendly staff.“

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

“This is my favorite restaurant! The food has a sensuous and complex flavor profile while also being rustic Italian. You will not find a better pomodoro sauce anywhere unless your grandma is from Italy and has a long held family recipe. The pasta is hand made and has a perfect texture and amazing flavor with the sauce. The house made buratta is the freshest, creamiest and thickest you’ll enjoy outside of select NYC restaurants that are famous for making their own mozzarella, ricotta or buratta. And the staff treat their guests like they’ve invited you into their own home. Jessica was amazing! All together, going to Luca’s is like getting the perfect big warm hug.“

“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.“

“Wow! The food was so insanely good it made me want to lick the plate clean, every bite was worth savoring. The whole vibe is effortlessly cool, with an atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. What really sealed the deal was the customer service. The owner was down to earth, friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcome. If you're anywhere near the area, do yourself a favor and stop by Bar Red. You’ll walk out already planning your next visit.“

“Fantastic service, The food was amazing. We went for our anniversary and we totally enjoyed the night. Can't wait to go back ❤️“

“Most authentic hit the spot made with love Italian food I have ever eaten in all of Colorado absolutely astonished with everything I’ve eaten here never disappoints if I could I’d give them 10 stars absolutely delicious🤤 ♥️🙌🏽“

“Had an amazing dinner and an amazing server Noah!!! 10/10 experience!! Every bite of food was amazing and everyone was excited to eat their leftovers!!“

“My boyfriend and I had dinner here on 11/15/25. The food was wonderful, the service was great and everyone was so friendly. We don’t live in Denver but we visit often so we will be back.“

“We had a fantastic dinner last night! Easy to get a reservation and they were ready for us the minute we arrived. Makayla was our waitress and she was amazing! She had great knowledge of the menu and was spot on in her recommendations! Kudos to kitchen as everything was perfect!“

“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!“

“Wonderful food and service ! Enjoyed the whole experience and will be back !“

“Love this place! Great service and fantastic food!“

“The food is excellent!!! I highly recommend if you’re a pasta lover!“

“Loved it💚🤍♥️ I had the Lobster Ravioli and it was so delicious. The Hostess, Service, Waiter were all awesome! And most importantly great atmosphere. Thank you!!“

“It was really cool! We went in a big group of around 8 people, and they gave us a table in a separate room, which felt like a family dinning room. It was really cozy! The food was also delicious. Plus, the 10.99 lunch deal is super worth it, with breadsticks, a soup or salad (I got a soup), and and entree. The Alfredo is on point!“

“Amazing food! Fantastic seasonal options! A hidden gem of Denver.“

“We had a fantastic experience at Venice! We’ve lived in Denver for 20 years and we never knew this place existed. Great atmosphere and the food was amazing, so authentic! We went with our 3 kids (13, 10 and 10), they ordered off the kids menu and loved the fettuccini Alfredo. The service was excellent, and our server, Gillian was on point. I can’t say enough good things about him. We will most definitely be back. I would recommend this place to anyone. This place is really nice and intimate feeling. Great for a date night or a family dinner, so long you have well behaved kids who love good food.“

“This place is so delicious! The shells are divine and the gnocchi are impeccable! The only thing I could complain about is there are no Italian sodas!“

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

“The food tastes very good, the spaghetti I like is a must“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10
Awesome pizza spot right off Colfax! Super yummy, flavorful pizza with fresh toppings and a perfectly cooked crust. The salad was just as good—fresh, crisp, and well balanced. Everything tasted high quality and made with care. Definitely a go-to spot when you’re craving great pizza. Highly recommend! 🍕🥗🔥“

“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.“

“The pizza (we had Roma and the new one with bleu cheese- can't think of the name) were absolutely fabulous!!! So delicious!! Even the smells from the food was fantastic. The service was amazing too - everyone working there was friendly and seemed intent on making sure everyone felt welcome. Our server, Rainey, was professional, friendly, and took great care of us. I highly recommend Gusto! We WILL be back!“

“My husband and I had lunch here, and we were pleasantly surprised by how delicious everything is. While we expected it to be good just based on the ratings, the fast service, order-at-the-counter model threw us because all of the food could have been served in a high end restaurant. There is plenty of seating and food came out very fast.

We shared the caprese and the house salads, the tortellini Alfredo, and a 10” create-your-own pizza, and each dish was delicious and we had enough to enjoy leftovers. We’ve already decided this will become our go-to pizza place moving forward.

Don’t forget the gelato on the way out.

We look forward to going again.“

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

“This is my very, very favorite go to restaurant. The owner has owned several Italian restaurants in Denver, most recognizably footers from the old days. The staff is amazing.The food is amazing and I would go there any and every chance I got.“

“Our visit last night was not the experience I was hoping for. We have gone to Amici's for years. Our first time was way back when they were still at 53rd. and Sheridan. I had the eggplant parmesan, which was very good. I don't know if the kitchen staff changes, or what? The eggplant portion was very small, three slices of eggplant the size of a silver dollar.“

“This is by far one of the very best dining experiences anyone can enjoy. The food is plentiful, served hot, delicious and cooked to perfection. You are always greeted by a polite staff member who makes you feel like family.“

“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!“

“Great customer service! Nice welcome when you head in and positive attitude. Pizza was ready in less than 10 min for carry out. It was delicious with great toppings and perfect cheesiness! Absolutely love their pizza for any occasion.“

“Josh and Merideth were so accommodating and helped me plan my business lunch with a large group. Food and service were outstanding, as always. We had salmon salad which was delicious, meatball and margarita pizza for apps. Most of all, our server, Kevin, was fantastic and so attentive - never a glass unfilled. Thank you!“

“Wow! Who knew there was such an authentic Italian venue in Denver. Homemade artisan pasta with creative sauces and entrees. Try the bolognese as it is one of a kind. The wood-fired pizza reminded us of what we had in Venice, IT! The bar and wine list is loaded with special finds. My wife found the Paloma cocktail to be fabulous. I fell in love with wine list especially. If you’re in Denver this is a MUST! Cheers.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I think I stopped going because I went so often that I became fed up 😅 but it was actually really delicious everything so fresh. It was great!

Update: I started going again and everything is still super delicious and their salads and soups are the best 👌🏼“
