About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions
Charming

To those of you visiting us for the first time AND those who have been anticipating the return of Firenze a Tavola, benvenuti & bentornati. Enjoy intimate, full-service dining, with coursed meals & a curated wine list in our "old-world" ambiance, "worlds" away from our fast-paced main level. In 2025, we will bring back community table nights & wine dinners. We have revised the concept to include an assortment of new seasonal menus (with some familiar authentic Tuscan favorites) & a few new events! We also OFFICIALLY return to private party bookings with a more streamlined booking process at PARISIsottoDenver.com. Now that Parisi is open on Sunday, you will see events & dining hours pop up on Sundays, too. The hours will vary & will typically be focused on weekends, but you can continue to check our calendar & newsletters for details. Mondays, Tuesdays & Wednesdays will be closed for regular dining.
We look forward to offering you a truly Authentic Italian Culinary Experience!

Amazing as always. Reserve to sit at the lowers dining area. It’s quaint, quiet and personal. I felt the cocktail could have been filled to the rim but for 12 $ it still a good deal. The food and service are excellent you can’t go wrong with any dish.

We were so excited that the restaurant had reopened, and it met all our expectations. It was a cozy retreat on a rainy night. The server was very helpful and accommodating, and the Nebbiolo wine he suggested was lovely. We started with Zappa Rustiche; both stews were good, but the Pappa Al Pomodoro was outstanding, bursting with the flavor of ripe tomatoes. Each bite of the Mista Mare was better than the one before, and it was just the right amount for two old lady appetites. We were glad we saved room for desserts - the best tiramisu we’ve had in years and a just-a-bit sweet affogato. We’ll be back to try some of the other treats!

Love the vibe, the staff, and the food! They brought out a birthday dessert with a candle and were just the right amount of attentive. Always love a good family run restaurant!

Great date night dinner! Nice ambiance that's nothing like the fast casual Parisi upstairs (which I also like for lunch). Server was attentive. Food was delicious.

We had excellent food and service. Several members of our party would like to have had more of the upstairs options. We were extremely glad to not have to try to converse through the noise upstairs. The decor is also lovely. We had a good time. Thanks!
