    Always be prepared to wait unless you have a party of six or more which allows you to get a reservation. It's worth the wait and you will not be disappointed. Great Italian food and wine.

    Cafe Jordano is that place, and nearly everything this restaurant does -- from the smallest touch of service to the most labor-intensive entree -- is wonderful and well-considered. Read more

    Best Italian food I’ve found near Denver if you’re looking for authentic family-owned with high quality ingredients and fantastic service.

    First time there and the waitress suggested Pollo Bolgnese- lightly breaded chicken cutlet topped with prosciutto and mozzarella cheese in a cream sauce. So yummy! :)

    If busy, do take-out. The eggplant parm is amazing, and you can’t go wrong with the caprese salad!

    The lemon gelato is a must. And their cream sauce is so bomb. The majority of their pasta options also come gluten free!

    Karma's favorite is my favorite dish, but you also cannot go wrong with gnocchi...it is perfect -- not too heavy, not too mushy

    Order Marks Favorite. It's not on the menu but they will make it. Chicken in a white wine sauce and artichoke hearts. I love it!

    This place has my second favorite gnocchi on earth. (the 1st is a tiny Italian place in las Vegas, way off the beaten path.)

    Get Bob's Favorite. Don't ask, just get it. Huge portions but $3 to split a plate.

    Half my scampi was garlic. I like it that way, but be warned!

    Don't try the buffalo marsala. Shoe leather would have been better, and I'm not sure what interpretation of marsala they used, because that wasn't like anything I've ever had (not good...).
