    The menu covers a lot of ground. The pasta carbonara was an excellent take on that classic, and for dessert, the tiramisu stood out. They've got local beers are on tap and the cocktails are exemplary Read more

    I have been here close to 20 times and have yet to be disappointed by a dish. The best food was by far a special steak with gorgonzola sauce. If you like great Italian you will love this place.

    When in doubt, go with dishes flavored by the old-school Gaetano’s, including meatballs (offered both as an app and a side), lasagna and gnocchi Read more

    The mixologist here is amazing! Ask Tony to make your drink and he will give you all the details. Let him make you a special drink and pair it with the cheese fondue!

    Possibly one of the most authentic, old-world, traditional Italian eateries in Denver. It has the ambiance, food and drinks to make it great

    Chicken Marsala was excellent - be prepared to enjoy generous amounts of garlic. The gnocchi was tasty, but the consistency was too mushy.

    I thought the food was good. Oysters were fresh, not a huge fan of the casino clams, but the meatballs were good and so was the bolognese.

    I've been coming here for 20 years and am thoroughly disappointed in what this place has become. Steer clear if you want to cherish the old Gaetano's.

    The spaghetti and ravioli were subpar ... even cold. The risotto croquettes, however, were yum.
