    Noth never disappoints! On this occasion, the restaurant was extremely busy and getting started with service took 15 minutes or so, which is unusual. Maybe they were short waitstaff? Once our service was engaged everything rolled along very smoothly and our server Jordyn W was excellent! Our meals were cooked to perfection and delicious.

    We are traveling from out of state and celebrated our 7 year anniversary on January 7th. Our server Marco was very efficient and made our experience a great one!! We were given warm bread with olive oil to start and once they found out we were there for our anniversary they gave us a free glass of champagne to start the evening off!! We had fresh salads as appetizers. I had the It was Aged Porterhouse Agnolotti pasta with a brown butter sauce and I think I cried at the first bite, it was so good. My husband had the NY strip with brussel sprouts, both cooked perfectly. Ended the evening with bowl of gelato, which was of course delicious and also complimentary for our anniversary. My one and only complaint was it was extremely loud in the dining area so we had to talk louder to hear each other, but very romantic atmosphere and everyone around us was laughing and having a great time!! 10/10 would recommend and go back!

    I’ve eaten here twice and think the food is excellent and the staff is great but can we stop being okay with restaurants doing ridiculously inflated extra charges for “Denver Fair Wages”? Im sorry Gusto owners but 6% additional, you should be ashamed you lack the respect to pay your employees better over the greed of filling your pockets. And while I’m sure you’ll make a response saying why you have to do this we can all agree the markup on pizza and pasta is pretty good. Hope you come to your senses, reduce this charge, pay your employees a fairer wage, and stop putting it on your customers before you lose them all.

    Just ate here for the first time. I was hoping it would live up to the largely positive reviews. It did. We were party of four and every appetizer and entree was delicious. Given the quality and quantity of the food the prices were more than reasonable in my opinion. I haven't said that about a restaurant in quite a while.
