Reviews
I have to say that food is expensive there. Even more expensive than you would find in the Springs and Denver. It’s made well and has a nice twist to it but get prepared to spend over $100 on a dinner even without alcohol. Portions won’t be large either.
We ordered a Mediterranean salad to share and two entrees: lamb ribs and steak. We liked that both came with a side of greens. I don’t eat lamb but my husband liked his dish. I found it weird that while the octopus, for example, is priced upfront, their steak price is “market”, so you won’t know how much it will cost you until you get a bill. I probably shouldn’t have ordered a steak at the Italian place but I was craving it, so I decided to give it a try. I would say for the price I paid ($38), I could have had a better steak pretty much anywhere. It was small and tasted like it was boiled instead of fried. I wasn’t too disappointed because only a few places for some reason can cook a well-done steak properly but this one also had a weird aftertaste of liver, so I’d say the cut itself could have been better quality. This is the reason why I don’t give the place a five.
Since we spent quite some time there and our portions were fairly small, we also went for coffees and desserts. Both tiramisu and chocolate cake were fresh and delicious, and our coffees were good, too.
Service was great and the lady at the bar was really charming. I would probably come back for coffees and desserts if I come to Pueblo again.
The gnocchi is my favorite. They changed the name, but the flavor is still just as incredible, which says everything about their kitchen. If you’ve never been, it’s an absolute must-try. Consistently great food, service, and atmosphere.
We actually made a bit of a mistake in reserving for 5:30 pm on the same evening as the local Parade of Lights, which goes right down Union Ave. in front of the restaurant. As expected, maneuver around the location and parking were problematic. Because of that, and the cold weather, we came early, arriving about 4:40. While we were willing to wait elsewhere, the proprietors seated us immediately while we waited for our other two parties to arrive. Big props for being accommodating.
The food was top notch and the menu ranging from commonplace to exotic. Every dish had an element of gourmet treatment. All the entrees we ordered were excellent.
The venue is small. I wouldn’t say ‘intimate’, given that it has large windows facing the street, but it was cozy enough on a cold night. OUr server was very friendly, helpful and attentive.
Prices are not cheap, but reasonable for the quality and creativity of the menu. We didn’t order wine, but instead Italian beers in a brand I’d not heard of, allowing us to try something other than the usual two brands commonly available.
Service was great and they were able to squeeze us in on a busy Saturday evening without a reservation. I’d recommend making a reservation though.
Atmosphere is very comfortable and not too formal. There was an outdoor patio in back but I didn’t get a chance to step out.
Price is a little elevated but well worth the food and location.
I live about 1.5 hours away and would almost consider driving here just for this food everyone once in a while.
