“Great northern Italian cuisine at a very reasonable price (most expensive meal about $14). The buffalo Jordan (buffalo scallopini in a delicate cream, mustard, and cognac sauce) is to die for. The eggplant parmigiana is thinly-sliced and crisp, not the usual soggy mess found in most Italian restaurants. Any of the dishes named after employees are delicious and always a good bet. The various wine and cream sauces used in the entrees are one of the specialties of the restaurant, as is the tiramisu, which they tend to run out of by mid-evening. Limited, but reasonable wine list. The line forms outside about 30 minutes before opening time, and is present until at least 8 pm, so expect to wait 20-40 minutes for a table. Have a glass of wine while waiting and has the rest of the bottle delivered to your table after you're seated. Reservations are only accepted for parties of 6 or more, and incomplete parties are not seated. Not a lot of ambiance, but the staff is friendly and efficient (considering how busy this place is). Family friendly, but is aware that the kids may get bored while waiting for a table. Been eating here for about 20 years, and the quality has held up despite the restaurant doubling in size. Probably the best Italian food in the Denver area, but mostly known to locals. Always a hit with friends and business associates I¿ve taken there, especially out-of-towners.”
