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.

    We discovered Cranelli's about 7 or 8 yrs ago. We are from Canada and participate in an annual golf tournament in the Denver area. We always make it a tradition to enjoy a delicious meal at Cranelli's with our golf friends. Garlic knots and marinara sauce as a starter are a favourite. The lasagna, spaghetti bolognese and chicken parmesan are always a hit. HIGHLY recommend to anyone who loves Italian food.

    Love the food, but so noisy. Please provide a quiet space for diners.
    Cranelli's Italian RestaurantResponded 4 days ago
    Hi Carolyn, Lasinda here. I'm so surprised to see a 3 star from you given how much fun we had at bingo brunch and the compliments you gave privately. The noise level came from just that...Bingo. There is no way to eliminate the noise, especially since it was themed 70s/80s. If you decide to join us again for the next bingo brunch on June 28th (RED-WHITE-BLUE music from 4th of July fireworks), we can seat you further away from the DJ who MC's the event. Please reconsider your 3 star, as it does hurt us and the noise was not something we could control, and you did decide to be a part of it freely. I sure appreciate it, if you could do that. Thanks!
