- CCookievipDenver / Colorado •11 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoI love Venice. We had a tiny table near the bar so it was a bit loud. The service is 5 star. My veal was a bit dry and it took forever for a cappacino (near 10-15 minutes). We go there often so it may be the overload of holiday and Thursday night that was the issue. We love the place.More infoVenice Ristorante & Wine BarPrice: Moderate• Italian• Downtown / LoDo•4.7
- LLeeanneDenver / Colorado •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoCame in for my anniversary last night and had a great experience. The only down side was not being able to fully talk to my date being of the noise levels but either way an amazing experience.

- KCKalaCChicago / Illinois •7 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 1, 2023This is one of my favorite restaurants in Cherry Creek. Great food, outstanding service (Travis was wonderful), the only drawback is how noisy it: I’m a quiet talker and my date has a difficult time hearing me. It’s still worth it! I go to North again and again. Definitely recommend it.More infoNorth Italia – DenverPrice: Moderate• Italian• Cherry Creek•4.8

Discover Denver
Located just an hour’s drive from the trifecta of ski resorts—Aspen, Vail and Breckenridge—and nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains; Denver is scaling the ranks of the country’s most desirable places to live. And while Colorado’s capital city is a world class hub of winter recreations, a booming restaurant scene is on the rise, too. Brunch waits now rival those of its coastal counterparts. Sounds a little weird given Denver’s land-locked nature, but sushi is also popular here. Downtown, you’ll find Italian Trattorias, sprawling beer gardens, and a slew of coffee shops that range from pour over bars to laid-back, locals-only spots. Larimer Square forms the heart of downtown’s historic district and houses upscale restaurants fit for special occasions. On the outskirts of town, Red Rocks Amphitheater draws festival crowds for its outdoor acoustics and epic views.
