    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

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

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

    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.

    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

    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?😋

    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!

    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.

    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!!

    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.

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

    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.

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

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

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

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

    The house-made burrata cheese it just too good to even describe. Make sure to order extra bread - you will need it!

    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.
