Meet Jimmy and Lasinda and their three children - Connor, Niko and Brittany.
Jimmy and Lasinda have lived in Highlands Ranch over the past 20 years and have built their family and their career around the restaurant industry. Lone Tree has been the melting pot of their career over the past 20 years, where Jimmy opened Bahama Breeze, Brio Tuscan Grille and was part of the management team at P.F. Chang's in Park Meadows. Lasinda served and managed at Outback Steakhouse in Highlands Ranch and is a true barista at heart, having been the GM at Nordstrom Ebar and Peaberry Coffee. Jimmy and Lasinda's combination of family values, customer service and love for food is what has kept Cranelli's thriving for years.
We welcome you to visit our cozy, family-feel restaurant and try some of their signature dishes like Lasagna, Linguine & Clams or our signature Italian Margarita to name a few. Check out our warm and quiet patio seating.

    Loved their happy hour in past. Had eggplant Parmesan and it was all cheese. No flavor of eggplant at all. Very disappointing cause I've loved everything else I've had there
