We had read a lot about this restaurant and since we were staying at the Monaco decided to try it. I love sweet breads and saw them on the menu as an appetizer. I also love caesar salad, and that was there too, so I thought I was set. The veal sweet breads were breaded and covered with a sweet... More

We had both breakfast and lunch here, and both were first rate. It is worth mentioning that the coffee at breakfast was particularly delicious, that being the main event for many of us at breakfast. Breakfast menu itself has some interesting things on it and they are well prepared and imaginative. Lunch was also quite good, but less than fantastic.... More

Being in Denver for a few days I had the customary breakfast at the hotel restaurant; though not lunch or dinner for the first few days. It was after a day or two with co-workers we were a bit tired and said, "Let's stay in". We were not disappointed! From appetizer to desert, it was all great. I had the... More

I had the final meal of my business trip here. The food and service both are good. However the menu has a limited selection in my opinion. Service was attentive. Only disappointment was I ordered a lasagna and was expecting it to be hot right out of the oven. However when it arrived it was more on the warm side.... More

We had breakfast and it was very good. Great presentation and quality. The price was a bit steep, but my wife said all the ingredients are organic. I would really like to try dinner here.

I chose the 5 course Chef's menu for $55 and added a glass of chianti. Every item was explained and described in delicious detail, and every bite met or exceeded expectations! We never felt rushed, but were encouraged to savor the experience. A little pricey but well worth it. Thanks to our server Dimetri and all the staff for making... More

I ordered the strata for breakfast, which was served with the most amazing side salad?!?! Butter lettuce, fresh raspberries, chopped pistachios, feta cheese, and a lovely light citrus vinaigrette.... I made it at home as soon as we got back so I could try to capture all the deliciousness again! What a great way to start the day! Oh, and... More

This has to be one of the most memorable meals that I have had. Amazing menu and cuisine. Wait staff are attentive but not overbearing. I would recommend this fine dining experience to anyone who is looking for excellent Italian food.

Located downtown Denver, this place is a real gem. They have a wide selection of drinks, local beers, wine, and small plates as part of their Happy Hour menu. My favorite is their Crespelle al Funghi, a mushroom stuffed crepe, hands down. Overall, this is a great place for brunch or happy hour located in the center of the city.
