50 Best Italian Restaurants near Westminster

“We went for lunch or the first time today and had the amazing lunch. We eachhad the lunch special, which includes a specialty Pizza and a salad of your choice for starting at $14.50. I had the funguy Pizza, which is a Mushroom Pizza. It was absolutely amazing. I ordered mine without arugula , as I do not perfer that. It was so good that I ordered a full size to take home for dinner. Our server was Jordan and she was awesome. Very friendly and knowledgeable. The only downside I have to say is that their drinks were just okay. We had a Italian spritzer that was kind of tart, and then I ordered a Vodka martini, which they said they do not commonly make, and I could tell why... I sent it back and ended up getting a glass of red wine but the pinot noir was mediocre at best. I think management should up their Wine selection and quality, if they're going to pair with Italian dishes. I would definitely go back and order more Pizza and the meatballs look amazing as well.“

“We received a gift card from a family member at Christmas and decided to use it on a Saturday night in January. The restaurant was packed but there was seating in the bar area, so we decided, what the heck(!) and went to the bar. Once seated we were greeted with the friendliest bar staff, Marissa and Tiernan. We wanted a glass of red and Marissa recommended the Porta Vita Italia. It is a delicious bargain and we were so impressed (and now hooked!). Our food was and continues to be great, as now we have become Saturday night regulars! We are Italian and honestly did not think we could get a traditional and tasty meal at a chain. Marissa and Tiernan, thank you for the excellent, friendly customer service and sweetness. You both are classy, sassy and super bad-**sy! We always look forward to our Saturday nights hanging with you both! See you next time, Cheers!“

“Delish food and great service all in a beautiful but comfortable setting.“

“the food was really good and the staff was friendly a little bit overpriced but other than that a really good experience“

“Stopped at the Aurora location on whim. Under new management. Amazing food and lovely family owned business. Took home some extra dishes for later. Give it a try!“

“Wow! I’m so excited we found this place! What a gem in Westminster. Their pizza is amazing. They have a full vegan menu which is so great. And they have vegan cheesy bread! The owner and staff are so friendly! And the ingredients are fresh. Updated from previous review on 2026-03-15“

“Huge Thank You to the whole crew for amazing service last night! How many restaurants can you call at 7:45 at night and ask if they can accommodate up to 40 people this one right here! We were in town for a youth wrestling tournament and were staying next-door at the hotel. We called them and asked if there was a possibility and they said sure come on down. We will have you set up in our banquet room. Arrived at 8:30 and had us all out of there by 10. Nobody waited for food or drinks and the food and staff were all amazing.!! Thank You Montrose Elite Wrestling“

“good food, good service, reasonable price.“

“Service was on point … a simple glance at a staff member was enough to bring them over to check on our needs . That added to a great menu, delicious food and great company made this birthday dinner truly pleasurable! Grade A“

“Loved it here! The fusion between Indian spices and traditional Italian was one to remember. My friend and I really enjoyed our cocktails as well. Great service, the atmosphere was slightly too loud for my liking but still had a great overall experience. Will be back!“

“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!“

“Nancy the owner was amazing. She makes you feel welcome immediately. The food was fabulous, so good! The veggies were some of the best I’ve ever had. We went there with another couple after a show and we all said the food was delicious. I would definitely recommend this place.“

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

“Their gluten free options are outstanding!“

“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!!“

“Delicious food especially the lasagna. Amazing desserts.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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🤤 ♥️🙌🏽“

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

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

“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.“

“Excellent food and service. Homemade pasta, bread, desserts. These guys know what they are doing. Service was outstanding - very attentive without being annoying. Highly recommend.“

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

“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.“

“BEST PIZZA EVER! The staff is amazing, the restaurant is beautiful, but the food…delicious!“

“We decided to try this location as we've enjoyed the one in Westminster previously and had great experiences but this location was closer to home. Great food and our waitress, Valerie was really awesome. Great personality and exceptional service. Even the General Manager was making the rounds and ensuring everything was going smoothly. We'll definitely be back and sitting at Valerie's table.“

“We recently held our son's and our new daughter-in-law's rehearsal dinner at Parma Trattoria & Mozzarella Bar and every detail was perfect! Emilio and Mike provided helpful guidance every step along the way and ensured that our event went smoothly. We had a large party (44 people) and they recommended that we hold our event in the heated patio area for more privacy which was a great call. Our amazing servers Julie and Ilona are top notch and didn’t miss a beat. From helping us set up/decorate the tables to taking our orders to promptly serving/clearing dishes after each course to ensuring that no one waited for beverages, their service was flawless! And the food! Everyone raved about how delicious each dish was. I forgot to take photos of all my dishes but included a few to show how beautiful/tasty they look/are! It's hard to pick a favorite dish since we ordered just about everything on the menu and it was all delicious! Great cocktails and wine list too! A special callout to our new in-laws (the Francas and the Englishs of Thornton) for recommending Parma! We highly recommend Parma Trattoria & Mozzarella Bar and their talented/customer focused team for their delicious food, inviting atmosphere, and outstanding service!“

“Excellent food, service and atmosphere.“

“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!“

“Huge variety of food and all dishes are delicious.“

“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!“

“We were the only ones in there and was a bit skeptical at first but the pizza was so good. The owner was so friendly and welcoming and he made great recommendations. We had the enzo and the pig and cow and both were awesome. The crust was so light and crispy and pairing on the pig and cow was awesome. We aren't from the area so I was happy we stumbled upon this place and will definitely come when I visit again!“

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

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

“We had an absolutely fantastic Valentine's Day dinner last night! The special 5 course menu was incredible -- I loved the tomato bisque soup and the salad was perfection. We both got the gnocchi as our mains and it was AMAZING. A wonderful tres leches cake topped it off. Great, great service as well. Thanks to the staff for making it such a special occasion.“

“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.“

“First time here, 06/04/26. Ive been all over NY + NJ and tried TONS of pizza. This place has the best NY style pizza in the northern Denver metro area. Price was reasonable, especially for the quality of the pie, and the owner/ staff were great. Will definitely be back.“

“The food was absolutely delicious and wish I had a bigger stomach to order more. We had the most incredibly kind and hilarious waiter Quinn I would highly recommend for a girls night or a date night. Dishes are the perfect size for sharing!“

“Wow! This dining experience is one for the books. The wait wasn’t long, the food was to die for, & the service was spectacular!
We were blessed to be sat in Lacey’s section! This girl took our experience from good to beyond amazing! Her customer service & welcoming energy was so delightful. She was so attentive, made sure we were always getting served in a timely manner!
This. Girl. Made. The. Whole. Experience!
10/10 recommend this place - if you go, demand to be placed in Lacey’s section! I promise you won’t regret it!“

“There were two very large, very loud parties in the main dining room. We could not have a conversation. We should have left and gone somewhere else. It was so disappointing. We have eaten at Zucca before, it was always very pleasant on weekdays. I kept apologizing to our friends as I picked the restaurant and made the reservation. The wait staff did an admirable job. I won't be going back.“

“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.“

“Great experience all around!“

“Absolutely amazing food. I had a great date tonight and I was so glad that we were able to be at your restaurant. Great chicken scallopini with mushrooms and great red wine :-). Our waiter was outstanding!“
