My husband & I stopped by for lunch as soon as they opened on a Friday. We were attended immediately by the gentleman & food didnt take long. First we ordered Tortellini pasta with pesto & a Margherita pizza & it was authentic Italian. Since I’ve traveled to Italy, I can recognize the taste & how the pizza was baked through a wood-fire oven. Everything tasted great, we ordered the pepperoni pizza to go. We will be coming back here, it was worth it! Thank you for using real ingredients, making real food.

Went for an early dinner (4:45pm) Saturday night and we were seated right away. It was a little chilly by the front door, but otherwise the seating is comfortable. We got an Aperol Spritz, the Focaccia, Lasagna Bolognese and Pasta Al Forno and were very satisfied. Our server Nico was very attentive and made perfect recommendations! We cannot wait to come back and try more of the menu.

Authentic Italian food! The fettuccine carbonara was amazing! Everybody was friendly, it wasn’t very busy on a Friday night so a reservation wasn’t necessary though we did make one in advance. My only complaint is that they do not have any rosé wine available, which is what I was looking forward to. I love an Italian rosé.

We came on Christmas Eve as a family & were blown away by the food, the service & the atmosphere.
Nico was our sever & guided us to THE BEST options. We got the spaghetti & meatballs, the pesto salmon & risotto, & the seafood ravioli. We also loved our drink pairings — an Amaretto Sour, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chianti).
We also got the best tiramisu we’ve ever had!
The atmosphere is cozy & perfect for small or big gatherings. Being in the heart of the Southlands shopping center made for a beautiful walk post-dinner with the Christmas lights.
Denver has had some hit or miss Italian restaurants.
This is how authentic Italian SHOULD be.
10/10 recommend!

Food here is amazing. We got the Burrata, Fettuccine Carbonara, and their weekly special Lemon Pesto Salmon Risotto. All of them were amazing, especially the Risotto. The tiramisu here is exceptional. The server Nico was attentive and very kind. I definitely would recommend this place and come back again!

This is a tough one but I’m going to be honest about the experience, good and bad.
It was about 20 degrees outside and maybe 50 degrees inside. They said someone had accidentally turned off the thermostat. We considered leaving but decided just to wear our coats and roll with it.
My friends pork was dry in his meal. Pork medallions cook fast and these were overcooked. I picked the Linguine Clams and Shrimp Pasta from the weekly menu and it was good but significantly overpriced. There was no bread and no salad as part of the $35 price and the cheapest thing in the dish (the pasta) was barely present. I didn’t miss bread but a side salad (vegetables of any kind) should be served with a pasta dish. The sauce was good and the shrimp was cooked perfectly but the mussels and clams were a little overcooked.
For being game and staying through the cold we should have been given a complementary appetizer or discount on our meals.
The young men that served us were very sweet and took care of our needs but they should start at an Applebee’s or something to learn about service before serving at a restaurant where the dishes are so expensive. When people pay $35 for an entree they expect more experienced and professional service.
The tables are too wide to allow private conversations. If I stretched my arms in front of me I still wouldn’t reach the other side of the table.
Each individual issue was ok by itself (except the temperature of the restaurant) but putting the issues together, we paid a premium price for average food and the level of service expected at any sit down restaurant. There was nothing above average except the prices. I hope they find the skills they’re lacking and succeed but I wouldn’t consider going back. There are too many better options at Southlands.

Had a great lunch here today! Restaurant was clean and had an upscale feel. Yadi was an excellent server. I had an entrée on the specials menu, a salmon pesto and creamy risotto plate and it tasted great. Compliments to the chef.
I’ll invite my other friends out here too. I guess it hasn’t been open very long but they have their liquor license now and are adding to the menu. It’s conveniently located in the middle of Southlands Mall and deserves to be busier than it is!

Server was pretty friendly and we were able to get a seat for a weekend lunch fairly easily. They had a tasty aperol spritz!
Food was decent but not amazing, had a pizza that was a little wet to the point that it stuck to the bottom of the to-go box. Liked the primavera pasta and Cesar salad though. Got tiramisu at the end and it was a good balance of fluffy and moist.
Little disappointed they had AI art in the bathrooms, but the rest of the decor was really hip but cozy.

This is the first time I visited this place. It’s right in the middle of Southlands hangout area but I didn’t know it was here. It turned out to be a good surprise. It’s authentic Italian food that aurora hasn’t had for quite some time. I had the pasta al Forno which is baked rigatoni, provolone and a spicy sausage in a light creamy red sauce. It was delicious. My daughter had the pasta all a vodka which was also delicious and my son had the pepperoni pizza. He loved it. We ended the meal with tiramisu and the limoncello cake. These were also really good. I highly recommend you try this locally owned restaurant. I will be back and will take pictures next time.

Dinner with my sister here was absolutely fantastic. We shared everything….Caesar salad, crab cakes, and the lemon pesto salmon risotto, and every single dish was incredible. The flavors were so well done and somehow each plate kept getting better than the last. We paired it with a beautiful Italian Pinot Grigio, which was perfect with the meal.
The tiramisu was the perfect dessert to end the night.
A special shoutout to our server Yadi who was absolutely wonderful, attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better with her favorites!
We loved sharing the dishes and getting to try several things. We will definitely be back to split more.
