Restaurants near Aurora History Museum

Delicious food, friendly staff with great service. Thank you for another fabulous evening, Cattivella!

This restaurant is an amazing discovery tucked into a strip mall and a stones throw away from the 24 hour Alameda East Vet Hospital which most anyone with animals in Denver is aware of. From the beet & goat cheese salad or if you like soup, my most recent visit led me to a tomato basal soup that was so good and I only ordered this because I could not eat a salad and I sort of said “I don’t really like soup but I’ll try a cup”. OMG…..I should have taken their entire soup stock home! I didn’t see “fettuccine alfredo” for my first visit so I asked if that was possible with mushrooms and fresh tomatoes. No problem! My favorite server (who I always request) LuLu and very delightful! I often say, “do I ever look at the menu?! As a veal lover I am always on a quest to find a restaurant who can meet my expectations. No restaurant for as long as I can remember has even come close. Cucina Bella has a (consistently) buttery soft veal that I would rate a 10/10. The two comments I would make that could be a minor negative is that you have to ask for bread which is a very good garlic bread , however you have to pay for this. There is also a charge for splitting” anything if kitchen does it for you. Not a problem if you ask for a separate plate and do it yourself. Neither of these two comments is a big deal, however the garlic bread would be nice if you had one basket included (and pay for any additional requests) but certainly not a game changer. The flan dessert is excellent! The portions at Cucina Bella are exceptional generous………. reminiscent of pre-pandemic and 100% of every visit I have food to take home! Cucina Bella is a quality family run Italian restaurant that I would rate as exceptionally amazing!!! BTW, if you like to enjoy a late lunch or early dinner the happy hour menu is worth checking out! It’s 2-5 pm and I believe this is Monday-Friday only. Excellent choices including their cocktails, wine, etc.

We love Cafe Mercado! Great food--even for those of us that are Gluten free--great service and great cocktails & wine. We have become regulars!

It's a beautiful hotel and space and the Thanksgiving-forward meal was excellent: A mushroom stuffed turkey roulade with yams and brussel sprouts - the turkey was moist and the entire meal was flavorful The pumpkin cheesecake was very tasty. The service and our waitress, Monique, was fantastic and attentive, and the ambience was perfect for our family holiday meal.

Everything was great! The ambience, the server and the food. The BJ’s Brewhouse Bowl w/ Blackened Salmon was very delicious. I’ll be back this weekend to watch the Celtics game. Thank you for a great and friendly environment!
