    Best Happy Hour in Denver! We're Happy Hour "regulars" for many reasons. We love the welcoming ambiance the minute we come in the door! The Happy Hour cocktails and wine served by Dennis and team are the best! My Super Tuscan is especially tasty. The authentic Italian small plates menu has everything from salads and charcuterie to pastas, chicken, and veal dishes. The portions are more than ample! We chose the Rigatoni Con Salsiccia e Porcini -- a family favorite. We love the spicy Italian sausage and sauce. We also chose the Tortellini di Zucca (delicious pasta filled with roasted butternut squash, walnuts and parmesan cheese in a marinara vellutata sauce). One of my favorites is the Pollo Piccata (a generous and tender portion of chicken with capers and roasted garlic in a lemon chardonnay wine sauce)! The accompanying fresh vegetables were so flavorful. Come in for Happy Hour and You'll come back for dinner! The bar is fun and lively. The dining room is upscale and comfortable! Italy without the plane ticket!!

    Amazing food! And even better service. The burrata was amazing and lobster tagliatelle was very delicious. Rounded out dinner with gelato and all of this under $100 was such a steal. Service from all staff was amazing and my waiter was so polite and attentive. Phenomenal service. I’ll be back when in Denver again
