Had a great waiter, that started the evening off really well, he was super friendly. We had the sourdough bread (amazing and I will crave it forever) and then risotto and gnocchi. As always, the food and wine were perfect, it's a beautiful place and I am really lucky it's in the neighborhood.

We live out of state and wanted to take my mom out to a great dinner while we were in Denver. We went there with high expectations based on the reviews and my wife being from northern Italy and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of service and food. Our tajarin con conigelio was one if the highlights of the evening.
