    Me and my girlfriend went to Shells and Sauce before going to see a show in Denver and I was not disappointed in regard to the food and price. Our waitress was pretty busy which I understand completely, which caused us wait almost 10 minutes after we had already sat down before ordering drinks or appetizers. The drinks were absolutely delicious (I ordered the Pearfect Martini), and the food came out very quickly after ordering. The Bolognese was average at best but the Sweet Potato Shells in the “Stuffed Shells Duo” on the menu were to die for. If I am to return I would opt to just have all 4 shells have the sweet potato filling, as they were one of the most delicious things I’ve ever had. We finished our night off with the Crème Brûlée and it was the perfect portion for two. Overall I would like to return if in the area.
