    Enjoyed this restaurant 3 times now. All positive. Warm greetings and excellent service. Delicious Italian bistro type meals. Not low cost but really worth what they command. Very convenient especially to neighboring hotels. Scallops were perfect.

    Panzano was fabulous, in a word. The waiter was superb and the food excellent. We began with the calamari and shrimp, prepared tempura style. Delicious! Then we had the panzanella salad, perfectly prepared. And our entrée was the halibut, grilled and served with asparagus. Beautiful! Excellent wine selections, too. The only disappointment for us is that the restaurant is sold out for the next two nights and we cannot return on this trip. I highly recommend Panzano.

    Everything about our meal was excellent, except the main course. The service was outstanding. We could not decide between two appetizers, so our waiter brought us two 1/2 orders of each. I have never had someone suggest this in the past. Both were very good. We had the soup of the day and a salad, and again, both were fantastic. For the main course, we had filet mignon and halibut. The filet was cooked perfectly, and the demi-glaze was a great compliment. The only problem was filet was VERY salty (and I like salt). The halibut was overcooked and not flakey.

    Wow. I dined here two months ago on business and loved it so much I had to bring my husband back with me. First of all, Brian is a GEM. Ask to sit in his section - he's hilarious, knows the menu inside and out, and goes out of his way to make your experience exceptional. I had the agnolotti tonight which was out of this world. The ricotta appetizer is delicious. And don't skip the tiramisu. We will be back - in Brian's section for sure.

    Everything about our experience was exceptional. Our server, Kris, was informed, kind and attentive, especially since we had a member of our party who was gluten and dairy-free. She made recommendations, and could talk through the menu like she created it!! The food... Oh the food! The octopus appetizer was the most tender I've ever had (and I order it whenever I see it on a menu). The romesco and ridicchio were bright complements. The caprese salad with beets instead of tomatoes is something I plan to repeat at home. I loved how the sweetness of the beets perfectly paired with the salty richness of the cheese. I loved angolotti, and the serving was just enough without making me feel stuffed. The sauce was rich and buttery, but not heavy. And it was loaded with oyster mushrooms!! Cocktails were on point. Riviera and Aurora Italiano were spirit forward with the perfect balance of flavors. I took photos of the cocktail menu so I wouldn't forget them! If you're looking for great food in a warm environment this is the place to be. And if you can get Kris as your server... Even better!!

    Overall, the service was really lacking. It took 15 minutes to get our drink order and another 15 minutes to receive it. We ordered two appetizers and their "special" focaccia plus a pizza. I expected the appetizers and bread to show up together. Nope. When we didn't get the bread in a reasonable amount of time, I asked the waiter to cancel the order. All the food showed up at once, including the bread. I turned that away and tried to make room on our small table for all the plates. We were running late so I had called to let them know we were on our way. That should not have had an impact on the service we received. We didn't delay placing our order. We were there for almost an hour before our food showed up. The tables on either side of us placed their orders at the same time and received their food well ahead of us. Since we had a show to catch, we were in a hurry to get our check and get out of there. The focaccia order we canceled so had to have that removed from our bill, which further delayed our checkout. The food was good. It's unfortunate the dining experience was not up to the quality of the food.

    Carlos was our waiter and he was amazing!! He had great recommendations, was attentive and provided top notch service. We were lucky to have him. The host desk however was incredibly rude. They were condescending and treated us poorly when we showed up with a two less people than planned (we were a group of 6) due to illness. Should note this was a business dinner. Host staff then proceeded to give us a less than optimal table in the middle of a walkway and one chair was hanging off a step. We kindly asked if a nearby table was open (restaurant was empty) and were again talked to condescendingly by another host that it was taken. We asked again and waiter came over saying yes it was okay to move. The rude host staff set the tone for the night. Thankfully our waiter was so amazing he saved it but I will not dine here again.

    Very disappointing going to an Italian restaurant and your pasta is mushy and overcooked (Bolognese) every wine we picked they were out of honestly it was embarrassing for the server. Just overall the experience was not good. We had a large group for a birthday celebration and it was upsetting to not enjoy the food.

    Very friendly hostess greeted me. Asked me if the booth selection was good, which it was. My issue was with the server, the soda that was ordered never arrived. Then the meals came which is when I had to ask for the soda. The salad was drenched in dressing - not very good. Then the server brought the bill without asking us if we even wanted dessert or coffee or simply asked if we needed anything - she just never came back to our booth until she dropped the bill. Very poor server! Probably won’t go back - too many other good food choices in the city.

    First, our server Kristine was fantastic. So welcoming, helpful, and attentive. She helped us navigate the menu when I let her know that my wife and I were both vegetarians. My wife and I were celebrating our respective birthdays and Kristine made a point to wish us both a very happy birthday and even provided us with complimentary desserts. Next, the food was excellent. Well prepared, nicely presented, and most importantly very tasty! Kristine told us about the daily happy hour and we will definitely be back! I have already given a recommendation to my brother who now wants to go to Panzano's on his next visit to Denver.
