Meet Jimmy and Lasinda and their three children - Connor, Niko and Brittany.
Jimmy and Lasinda have lived in Highlands Ranch over the past 20 years and have built their family and their career around the restaurant industry. Lone Tree has been the melting pot of their career over the past 20 years, where Jimmy opened Bahama Breeze, Brio Tuscan Grille and was part of the management team at P.F. Chang's in Park Meadows. Lasinda served and managed at Outback Steakhouse in Highlands Ranch and is a true barista at heart, having been the GM at Nordstrom Ebar and Peaberry Coffee. Jimmy and Lasinda's combination of family values, customer service and love for food is what has kept Cranelli's thriving for years.
We welcome you to visit our cozy, family-feel restaurant and try some of their signature dishes like Lasagna, Linguine & Clams or our signature Italian Margarita to name a few. Check out our warm and quiet patio seating.

    Hello Thomas Thank you so much for choosing Cranelli's and for the five stars!! We appreciate the compliment about our excellent service and especially that our GF menu was excellent!! I know it does tend to get busier and noisier over the weekend and on special occasions, and we do apologize!!! On your next visit please ask to be seated in a quieter area if it is a bit too noisy for you again. We will certainly be looking forward to your next visit!! Thanks again, Mary "Owners Mom"

    Cranelli's should offer Italian wines, not California, both on and off their Happy Hour menu, and perhaps add new Happy Hour items like cheese and olive boards, etc. We had chicken parm, chicken piccata and a large salad...appreciate the 1/2 portions too. We walked out saying that we should frequent Cranelli's more often.
    Cranelli's Italian RestaurantResponded 7 days ago
    Thanks so much Margaret for the 4 stars! I'm surprised by your saying that we should provide more Italian wines, as the majority of my wines are Italian. Our Happy Hour of 50% off is for our house wine, which is California but we also offer a $2 off any glass for any other wine, not too mention, we are having a fabulous special for the summer of BOGO bottle of wine and receive 50% off a "togo" bottle of wine of equal or lesser value. We have a nice selection of happy hour bites and do not feel the need for a charcuterie board, as that is just not for us, and that's ok, we'll let Postino's do their great work on that. I sure appreciate your kind words of our food and mentioning the half portion, as that makes it very nice to enjoy other items on our menu. Thanks again, Lasinda

    We love this restaurant and have eaten here several times. This time, I was disappointed with my entree of Rollatini. It had very little creamy Ricotta that made it so special in the past. My wife liked her fettuccine Alfredo. The garlic knots were good and drinks were great. I loved the double IPA beer on tap.

    Hello and thank you so much for the four stars and recommending Cranelli's!! We so love that you are a frequent diner and we always want our diners to have the best experience ever at Cranelli's!! We are disappointed to hear that your Rollatini had very little creamy ricotta, but we are happy that your wife liked her Fettuccine Alfredo, and that the garlic knots and drinks were great!! If you would like to share more information about your experience, please call our owner Lasinda on her private cell 720-934-6220. We appreciate you and will be looking forward to your next visit!!

    We celebrated Father’s Day at Cranelli’s, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was excellent. Our server made us feel welcome and well taken care of. The food was fantastic. Each dish was beautifully prepared, full of authentic Italian flavor, and served piping hot.  We highly recommend Cranelli’s for any occasion.
