Johnny Bechamel’s is one of those restaurants that makes you stop mid bite because the food is that good.
From the team behind Dio Mio, Redeemer, and Little Johnny B’s, this spot continues their streak of strong Italian cooking and thoughtful execution.
The decor blends classic Italian charm with playful touches, and the cocktail menu is creative and well balanced. Service was excellent throughout the meal.
Standout dishes included the parmesan cream Doughnuts with prosciutto and aged balsamic, the sourdough focaccia with cacio e pepe spread, and the Mushroom Pizza with roasted garlic béchamel and layered mushrooms. The Spicy Alla Vodka Pizza was also beautifully done.
The Pappardelle with chicken cacciatore ragu was rich and comforting, and desserts like the Clementine Cake and Nutella Icebox Cake were fantastic finishes.
It’s a strong addition to the Denver food scene and absolutely worth a reservation.

Ever since visiting Italy last fall, my husband and I have been having fun finding local Italian restaurants around the Denver area, and Johnny Bechamel’s did not disappoint! Everything we tried was full of delightful flavors and we could tell each dish was made with thought. We were curious what we would think of the Lasagnetta, but it was great! We also enjoyed the doughnuts, stuffed piquillo peppers, the ricotta ravioli, and the tomato pie with the works (loved the balsamic). I recommend them all! Also, Abigail was an amazing server. She gave us advice and took great care of us.

I genuinely love this place. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the staff is friendly and attentive, and the food is next-level fresh Italian from scratch!
The pastas are incredible! Truly some of the best fresh pasta in Denver, and the ravioli honestly blew our entire table away. Hands down the best ravioli I’ve ever had!
This has also easily become my favorite spot for pizza in Denver. You can taste how fresh everything is, from the dough to the toppings. Every pizza we’ve tried has been great, but the mushroom pizza is my personal favorite.
As a vegetarian, I really appreciate how many thoughtful options they offer. It’s refreshing to find an Italian restaurant in Denver with vegetarian options that don’t feel like an afterthought. Definitely a great restaurant for vegetarians!
Johnny Bechemels is one of those places you’ll want to come back to again and again.

We had an absolutely delicious meal the first week they opened. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The owners were there and took time to to check in with each table. We tried almost everything on the menu. Loved the steak Diane, calamari and gem salad. Drinks were top notch and they had a great wine selection!

The food is amazing!! Highly, highly recommend the sourdough focaccia with cacio e pepe spread. I will go back just for that appetizer alone. We also tried the pappardelle, farfelle, pizza, and doughnuts and everything was so delicious and fresh!! The kids also loved their food and said the clementine cake was the best cake they’ve ever had and I agree! 11/10 couldn’t recommend this restaurant more for the amazing food, incredible staff, and great atmosphere.

We live in the neighborhood and heard about this new spot. AWESOME addition! Service was attentive and offer great recommendations – thanks Michael. The food hit the spot and we even had some we brought back home for a midnight snack or lunch tomorrow. We will definitely be back, bottom line.
Salad was great.
Focaccia was 10/10.
Chicken Matzoballs were a creative twist.
Pappardelle was cooked perfectly and sauce/chicken were so flavorful.
Mushroom pizza had a fun take on a mushroom pizza “pie”. Unique (in a good way) flavor from some pickled mushrooms.
Last but not least, the clementine cake was so good. We were both stuffed but couldn’t resist and both have no regrets!

Great addition. IMO this in no way competes with Carmine’s across the street. It is Italian but has a broad range of unique flavors versus standard red sauce. My husband and I opted to try apps and pizza, and save the pasta for a return visit, as we live nearby.
We got the double pepperoni pie, stuffed peppers, chicken meatballs, and focaccia. I would order all of them again. The peppers have a great tang to them with the “crazy water”. Pizza has cup and char pepperoni, which is far and above the superior type of pepperoni haha. The crust is soft and chewy, yet crispy. The little celery bits on top of the chicken meatballs were delicious. Focaccia was soft, yet crunchy (sorry no photo, it came out first and we were hungry).
Service was prompt and attentive. Kitchen is open, which is always fun to watch. Cozy remodel with good mix of seating styles.
If I had one critique- I’m a non-drinker and I wish there was one or two more NA options from the bar.
Excited to return and try the pasta!

We were unable to get a reservation so opted for getting take out so we could try some items that looked great. The pasta was decent, and the pizza we ordered arrived burnt. We may still try again possibly going in, but as a first impression it was not a positive one.

This place was absolutely incredible. Months later, my boyfriend and I still talk about how good everything was.
The matzo-ball meatballs are an absolute must. The flavor is unreal, you should’ve seen our faces after the first bite. Total shock. They were that good.
Other standouts were the sausage spiral and the gem salad (because yes, lettuce can actually be crave-worthy when it tastes like this). Every pasta we tried was amazing too. By the second half of the night when the remaining dishes arrived (we did it tapas style where we got bunch of things to share and taste), we were still taking bites and saying over and over “This. Is. So. Good”
The details of the design didn’t go unnoticed. The mismatched plates for food felt like they were pulled straight from a grandma’s hutch and I’m pretty sure automatically makes the food more authentic (that’s a thing, right?). The space itself is great, and my boyfriend (a huge music guy) said more than once about how perfectly the playlist set the vibe in the restaurant.
Genuinely so good. The only reason we haven’t been back is because we live over an hour away but this will be a repeat restaurant for us whenever we go to Denver!
