Rated Italian Restaurant Did NOT Disappoint! 🍽️✨
After a week in Denver filled with disappointing meals, I became extra cautious with my choices 😅. Most Michelin-recommended restaurants were fully booked until the end of the month, so I turned to Google reviews and found this Italian gem with nearly 1,000 reviews and a stellar 4.7 rating! 🌟🇮🇹 I booked a same-day reservation (only 9:15 PM or 9:30 PM slots left 😮), but decided to try my luck at 8 PM. Though the dining room was packed, two seats at the bar were available—and it turned out to be the best experience! The bartender was incredibly friendly, patiently answering all our questions and recommending his favorite dishes 🍷👏. Here’s what we tried: 💙 Thinly Sliced Smoked Beef with Parmesan: Absolutely stunning! 🐄🧀 The two-year-aged cheese was creamy and not overly salty. The smoked beef was tender and flavorful, but the real star was the fresh red kiwi slices—sweet, soft, and elevating the entire dish! 🥝💫 🧡 Complimentary Bread: A soft, rosemary-sprinkled focaccia served warm—so fragrant and delicious! 🍞🌿 💛 Lobster Ravioli (Half Portion): Six adorable handmade dumplings filled with lobster and mascarpone cheese 🦞❤️. The broth was rich and savory—perfection in every bite! 💚 Colorado Grilled Lamb Chops: Cooked to perfection—charred on the outside, juicy inside, and zero gaminess! 🐑🔥 Served with red wine barley and roasted beets. The best dish of the night! 🌟 💜 Non-Alcoholic Special "Did You Know?": A refreshing lemon-based mocktail 🍋✨, perfect for cutting through the richness of the meats. This place truly saved my Denver food journey! 🙌💖 #USA #Denver#DenverEats #ItalianFood #GoogleReviews #FoodieWin #LobsterRavioli #ColoradoLamb
