- BBryanDenver / Colorado •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoBrought my wife here for our anniversary, and I can say this was the best choice I made for when it came to having dinner. The food was delicious! and the waiter Georgia did an amazing job helping us with everything we needed, and recommended the plates we got. Which I now highly recommend getting the Ravioli Di Salsiccia. Food was amazing, service was amazing and so was the environment. My wife and I look forward to coming back!More infoVenice Ristorante & Wine BarPrice: Moderate• Italian• Downtown / LoDo•4.8

- JJackDenver / Colorado •2 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoRioja has become my preferred spot for Valentine's Day dinner with my girlfriend. The food is par excellence, authentic and always allows for some combination on the plate to make a perfect bite. The staff is friendly and very accommodating. My only real gripe was that it can get rather noisy during peak hours, but I'm not certain there's much anyone can do about that. Overall, the staff does it's utmost to make Rioja one of the best dining experiences I've ever had.More infoRiojaPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• Downtown / LoDo•4.8
