First time here and loved it. We will be back. We ordered the chefs pick plate that came with a pairing of 3 meats and 3 cheeses . Divine! Then ordered meat pizza to share. Such a quality to this place

Denver Westword

in that warm, welcoming basement space you'll find a gourmet wonderland of artisan cured meats , handmade cheeses , beautiful wood-fired pizzas and paninis and salads with roasted meats Read more

Mike Rowan

Great meat & cheese selection . Try the chefs selection of meats w/burrata cheese (cheese inside cheese w/cream) - made on site, Yum!

Mike Rowan

Sit anywhere because they serve the same food no matter where you sit. It food here is really good, and I'd highly recommend the meat & cheese platter starter & the spinach & apple salad .

Kaitlin Martineau

The ricotta was amazing, but now I really want to try the burrata based on everyone else's comments. The fig and goat cheese pizza was super tasty. Butterscotch bread pudding was ok - like dried bread

Nicha G.

Best Chicken Parmesan sandwich I ever had. My husband had pizza and he loves it. We also ordered calamari and mussel appetizer . They are wonderful!!

Kevin Foote

Make a meal out of the cheese and meat boards and/ or antipasti . Lots if fun, variety, and the best $value.

La Shanna Sexton

The meat and cheese plate as an appetizer makes you want to get seconds! There are no words for how wonderful it tastes. Maybe supercalifragilisticexpialidocious?????

Shana Hensley

The meat and cheese plate is to die for. Make sure you ask them to add the burrata when ordering, I can't describe how good it is!

Martha Cronen

The Fig Pizza and the Artichoke are a must! Chef 's cheese and meat plates are fantastic as well . All around great environment for friends and family. In Denver, its a must eat place!

Kelly Keating

This place is so good. Order the Chef 's selection cheese board if you want a snack first. All fresh and delicious. By far the best cheese plate I've had.

Nate Boateng

Amazing pizza . Amazing everything, really. All the way down to the staff . Such a lovely place. Some of the best food I've eaten in a long time.

Julia Bernard

A little surprised they didn’t have more pasta options, but our table enjoyed the lamb meatballs , mushroom fusilli , and pork chop . It was all great with big portions .

Andrea LeTard

A must eat foodie adventure!!! Burrata - best I've ever had, red wine cured beef - to die for, and you HAVE to get the pork belly brussels - holy smokes!!

Roberto Bruder Aguiar

Great staff , great atmosphere, excellent food and wine list ! We had the Sunday special pork and the burrata . Everything was delicious!

Amy DaCosta

The burrata appetizer was amazing. I haven't even had dinner yet.

Luke

Bring AT LEAST 5 of your buddies and order the Chef Combination platter of meats and cheeses . Then get some lamb meatballs for your entrée. Most incredible dining experience in Denver!!

Val Rad

Prosciutto is amazing. All food is fresh and delicious. Food quality here is better than other more expensive Italian restaurants downtown.

Usaj Realty

Mussels and Chicken Rotisserie salad for lunch . Also ask for some limoncello , they keep it in the back.

Dorian-Michelle Smith

Meat heavy. Try the rabbit or if they are doing a specialty roast go for it! Again meat heavy but good for the carnivores!

Haley T.

No matter what, save room for the bread pudding . It tastes like the best melt-in-your-mouth French toast you've ever had in your life.

Amanda Russell

Chef 's meat plate was fantastic and the mussels are some of the most flavorful that I've ever had! Service was great, no complaints.

Samantha Taube

Must try the burrata . It isn't traditional but it is so good!

Get the chicken Parmesan sandwich it is absolutely the best!

Steve Hayward

Absolutely love this place. The pork chop , lamb pizza , and scallops all blew my mind. Visiting from Toronto and ate here three times in a week.

Julia Asakawa

Very good chicken parm sandwich . The arugula salad was a good match!

Marc S

Very rare to find ciccioli in the US. Very well made but almost ruined by too much salt.

Will Funk

The food is always fantastic, add an egg to the pie for great flavor

Monica Mitchell

Ask for Micah if you're sitting at the bar . Try a Leopoldo's navy strength American Gin and their incredible tonic. Great food!!!!

David Bondelevitch

Get the cheese plate . You won't regret it, and you'll never forget it. They make most of their cheese in-house.

Serious Eats

If you like heat, use the jar of chili oil . It adds a deep, smooth heat to everything it touches. Read more

Krista Veiga

Wonderful beer , wonderful food, wonderful server. Great place to go on Larimer Square.

Jackal

Great food. Pizzas can easily be shared for two so get the chef 's cheese or meat plate as well .

Rich Dornisch

Best homemade ricotta cheese ever!

Come for a good hearty Italian dinner !

The homemade burrata is one of my favorite things to eat in Denver. Tastes just like Italy. Get it for yourself and don't share.

Ana Abrahamian

Get the mushroom truffle oil pizza but you must add the house made sausage !

Solid music playlist with plenty of certified Yacht Rock.

Lamb meatballs and baratta are amazing. Nuttella dessert rocks.
