- GGailVIPSeattle / Eastern Washington •52 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe were in Cherry Creek a year and a half ago for our daughter’s wedding staying at the Clio. Noticing a new restaurant that looked really interesting under construction, it seemed to take forever especially since we were visiting again in October 2024 and it still hadn’t opened. We are in the process of moving here and noticed it had finally opened. It was totally worth the wait. The food is amazing! We started with a Caesar salad and shared the seared ahi with crab fried rice, shrimp scampi and roasted asparagus. It was so delicious! Our server Heather was so awesome and helpful! We absolutely loved everything. We were quite full but her description of the bananas foster sounded to good to pass on, so we also enjoyed that. This will be a definite go to restaurant to visit regularly. Love the concept and beautiful interior and ambiance!More infoSalt Water Social - DenverPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Cherry Creek•3.7

- SSTACYVIPDenver / Colorado •17 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoNoth never disappoints! On this occasion, the restaurant was extremely busy and getting started with service took 15 minutes or so, which is unusual. Maybe they were short waitstaff? Once our service was engaged everything rolled along very smoothly and our server Jordyn W was excellent! Our meals were cooked to perfection and delicious.More infoNorth Italia – DenverPrice: Moderate• Italian• Cherry Creek•4.7
- AAnnaWisconsin •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoWe are traveling from out of state and celebrated our 7 year anniversary on January 7th. Our server Marco was very efficient and made our experience a great one!! We were given warm bread with olive oil to start and once they found out we were there for our anniversary they gave us a free glass of champagne to start the evening off!! We had fresh salads as appetizers. I had the It was Aged Porterhouse Agnolotti pasta with a brown butter sauce and I think I cried at the first bite, it was so good. My husband had the NY strip with brussel sprouts, both cooked perfectly. Ended the evening with bowl of gelato, which was of course delicious and also complimentary for our anniversary. My one and only complaint was it was extremely loud in the dining area so we had to talk louder to hear each other, but very romantic atmosphere and everyone around us was laughing and having a great time!! 10/10 would recommend and go back!More infoQuality Italian- DenverPrice: Expensive• Italian• Cherry Creek•4.7
- DDeeVIPDenver / Colorado •39 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 7, 2025We are so excited to have a quality restaurant near our home in south Denver! It was lightly snowing, and Osteria Alberico was warm and had a nice ambiance, assisted by the twinkling of holiday lights outside. Our waiter, Jeremy, was appropriately attentive and very helpful in accommodating food allergies. The Pasta Neri or "black noodles" was incredible, as was the New York strip. Complex flavors throughout. Gluten-free pasta offerings are a bonus.They also made a great Manhattan. Its great to have such a nice dining experience 5 minutes from home!More infoOsteria AlbericoPrice: Expensive• Italian• Englewood•4.6
