Our table was ready (with a reservation) right when we arrived. The staff is friendly, the location is great on the Pearl Street Mall, and the food is top notch. If you've never tried octopus, this is the place to do it!

This is our favorite restaurant in all of Colorado. It’s truly authentic Italian and everything from sport to dessert is outstanding here. We were celebrating a birthday and ask our server to pace our meal slowly. He was more than willing to accommodate, and he subtly kept an eye on us to make sure he was in sync. The Colorado trout was the best fish dish I’ve ever had and the tiramisu was rich, creamy and packed with flavor. The table bread and olive oil could be a meal with some cheese but don’t skip dinner. You will be sorry.
