Absolutely delicious. We live in Cincinnati and loved Pizzeria Locale before they went out of business, so we always looked forward to visiting a location in Denver. They've since closed the Denver locations as well, but the pizza here was even better! It's a much more upscale vibe, and we loved everything that we tried.

Been going for years and they are still the best gluten free fried chicken in town. They work with dietary restrictions and it makes the meal even better.

My husband and I came for Christmas Eve dinner and loved it! Everything was delicious, especially the burrata appetizer and veal piccata entree. The service was exceptional and it was SUCH a good value. We enjoyed an appetizer, two entrees, two desserts, espresso, and a bottle of wine - all for under $120. Our bottle of wine was 30% off because it was a Tuesday - so nice that they honored that weekly special on a holiday. We will definitely be back!
