Yeah it is great to finally eat inside at a restaurant again. Had the special that night which was steak and it was delicious.
This our favorite spot in the neighborhood! All of the servers are amazing and the food is always delicious! Glad that they’re opened again and following all the correct protocols to make us feel comfortable with dining out :)
Cute neighborhood place. Server was great. Not too fancy inside, but cozy. I had the Elizabeth with shrimp and it was great and the shrimp was a very nice size. My boyfriend had the chicken park and said it was pretty bland. Truffle Mac and cheese sticks in the beginning was great. I’d go back
The shells duo was delicious!! So was the veal parmigiana. They’ve remodeled a bit and changed the seating due to covid. We were S&S neighbors for many years and it was nice to come back to support an old favorite!!
They all knew it was my birthday before I even got in there! And all employees acknowledged it :)
Great servers and lots of laughs! Good pours..ravioli was amazing..
Staff was amazing very friendly and accommodating. would go again
Nice people
Love this place! Great service and food.
Loved this little gem and they they had a decent variety on the kids menu! The balsamic dipping sauce is unbelievable!
Loved the food!
Always a treat to eat here. Appreciate the "booths" that have been brought in to better isolate diners but still feel like you are part of the crowd. Very attentive and polite servers.
Food was amazing, but our waiter took our order and we literally didn't see him for the rest of the night. Worst service I have ever had.
First time at Shells and Sauce, nice atmosphere, and good service. I would recommend this place to a friend.
We love this neighborhood restaurant and are so glad that they are open for business!
The food at Shells and Sauce is always amazing and the staff is super. We have been going here for years and it never disappoints. Even during this strange Covid time when you could only get takeout the food was still very good, and now that we can dine in again they are keeping safety top of mind.
Shells & Sauce is a favorite for special occasions. The food is always delicious with impeccable service.
Amazing as always! Made my daughters birthday so special :) Thank you!!
Super good Italian!! And amazing gluten free noodles!
I love this place! What a great neighborhood place to frequent. I wish I lived in Congress Park. I would plan on becoming a "regular." Great job!
Excellent service. The entrees (shrimp special with peas) and veal piccata lacked flavor. Both sauces were thin and flavorless. The service did help make up for the food.
Food is amazing and so is the staff! Always a great experience when we go!
We had a wonderful meal at Shells and Sauce. Food and service were great, the portions are huge! We were a family of 7 that were together to remember our Mom/ Grandmother after a memorial service. We sat outside and were very happy with the experience and evening.
Great and very attentive service. The food was very good?
Great little spot in Denver. We loved our meal with excellent food options and wonderful deserts! Looking forward to visiting again!
While my girlfriend was running a "bit" late I used the time to call Shells and Sauce.
When we arrived it was almost as if they knew exactly who we were. As a chef myself,
I sometimes forget about this "gem" as it is in a small neighborhood group of stores.
Great variety on their menu, quick prompt service. ALL the portions are plentiful and they graciously pack your "doggie" box almost as good as a UPS store. While they were
busy and it is a small restaurant, we did not feel pressure to leave the minute we paid our
check. My girlfriend commented as we walked to the car, " we should make that a regular." We agreed on that,
Wonderful and the staff was beyond amazing!
Food was good, however the service for customers dining with the restaurant seem to come 2nd to the pick-up orders being called in. It took longer than usual for food to arrive to the table as we watched the staff rush to put to go orders in plastic bags. There were more to go boxes at the kitchen counter waiting to get packed than actual plates going out to the tables.
Service was great and the restaurant was very accommodating to our need to be seated outside. Thank you for offering outdoor seating.
Incredible food and can’t beat the price
We had a lovely time at Shells and Sauce. Food was delicious and customer service was fantastic. Thank you!
I had the caprice salad with extra grilled shrimp. It was delicious. I also had their signature martini which never fails to satisfy my thirst. I always enjoy eating here!!
We return to Shells and Sauce over and over for the consistently delicious food that is very fairly priced, well presented, and always fresh and good. The staff and management are lovely -- always service-minded and pleasant but not overbearing or fussy. Sitting outside on the patio is a wonderful, relaxing experience. This is a neighborhood gem and we are so happy to return to Shells and Sauce time after time !
Amazing food, sweet waitress, 10/10!
Great little Italian restaurant in Denver. Service was great and food was delicious.
Open air even indoors with the side garage door open. Always great service and food!
3 of us had a great Italian dinner outside. Beautiful evening and wonderful food.
Yummy and Cozy, Yummy and Cozy, Yummy and Cozy, Yummy and Cozy!
Friendly greeting and attentive service throughout by Logan and staff, food is always delicious and impressively large portions (read leftovers!!). A neighborhood gem that has done everything they can to make you feel comfortable and safe
Been going to Shells and Sauce since it opened. Always top shelf service and the food is outstanding all of the time. Never a bad meal. Great spot in a quiet location. A real jewel.
