Mici Italian — Restaurant in Denver

As a person who regularly visits 16th Street Mall, I thought I knew about every place there was to find anything from a light snack to a full course meal. However, it wasn’t until all the annoying construction started downtown and was forced to walk a different route that I heard about “Mici” a cute, little, Italian restaurant buried between the big buildings on Stout St. At first glance, Mici does not look like a place many people visit. Mici is one of the only food places found between many office-type buildings. They do have a big neon sign that states they sell gelato, and this is what caught my attention. When I walked in, the yummy smell of pizza made me want to sit down and eat there. Seeing as I was only planning on getting some gelato I started thinking of making a second trip back. It also helped that as soon as I walked in, some guests at the table were eating a delicious-looking slice of lasagna. Although I only tried their caramel and oreo gelato, the amazing flavor of their handcrafted gelato made me excited for a second visit. They had only a few flavors of gelato, but all of them were far from boring. They had birthday cake gelato, caramel and oreo, dark chocolate and so many other flavors that sounded yummy. The oreo and caramel flavor had the perfect mix of crunchy, chocolatey Oreos, and sweet, smooth caramel. It was the perfect snack to have on a hot summer day, and it was super affordable. So, if you are looking for a nice refreshing treat for this heat, I’m certain Mici will satisfy...

What a gem we discovered near the Denver Botanic Gardens! After spending the morning enjoying the gardens, we were thrilled to find this authentic Italian spot just minutes away.

The pizzas here are the real deal - perfectly charred crust with just the right amount of chew, and that distinctive wood-fired flavor that true Italian pizza is known for. The sauce has that perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, and they don't skimp on the high-quality toppings. It's the kind of pizza that reminds you of small family-run pizzerias in Italy. The pasta dishes were equally impressive, but the pizza alone is worth the visit.

But what truly sets Mici apart is their exceptional service. During our lunch, one of our pizzas had a minor issue with a burst cheese bubble - something we hadn't even noticed. Without hesitation, the attentive staff pointed it out and insisted on making us a completely fresh pizza! This level of attention to detail and genuine care for customer satisfaction is rare to find.

The quality of both pizzas was fantastic, and this small gesture spoke volumes about their commitment to excellence. If you're looking for delicious Italian food served with genuine hospitality, Mici Italian is a must-visit. It's the perfect spot to refuel after exploring the Botanic Gardens or anytime you're craving authentic...

We love Mici. It is my family’s number one pick when we want dinner delivered. Their website is very efficient, user friendly and I sometimes find coupons when I login to my account. Since Mici administers deliveries on their own we are not paying all of those expensive up charges that you pay when using postmates or ubereats to order from other restaurants. I have found the expected time for delivery to be fairly accurate and the delivery driver to be friendly and courteous.

How about the food? It is excellent. While pizza is what they are known for we generally also get a soup or pasta as well. Our kids like a traditional cheese pizza but the adults like to venture out to the speciality pizzas like the Vela or Pina, both of which are creative, unique and made of very high quality ingredients. On the pasta front Mici’s has a delicious hearty marinara which my kids love. We like the traditional marinara pasta, the rosa which is slightly creamy but not too overwhelming or rich and the pesto pasta, which is flavorful. Our most recent find on the Mici menu is the Fagole soup, which is a hearty bean soup with spinach. I ordered this for myself recently, but unfortunately my husband liked it so much I barely got any. This soup will be perfect on cold winter nights. I...
