A former cowboy bar that now caters to families, the Warhorse is one of Parker’s oldest eateries. The portions of chicken-fried steak, baby-back ribs and fair Mexican fare are large enough to satisfy the appetites of ranch hands fresh from twelve hours of cattle-herding.

Long a South Gaylord Street standard, Wash Park Grille has been meeting the needs of the neighborhood’s happy-hour crew for years, boasting a long list of food and drink specials for every day of the week. The large space is a sleek spot, not only for thirty-something after-work drinks, but also for lunch or dinner, […]
More than 25 years after the Pasquini family opened its first restaurant on South Broadway, the original Pasquini’s Pizzeria is in the hands of daughter Melinda Pasquini. She’s definitely gone her own way, updating the look of the place to that of a building straight out of the family’s home town of Lanciano, Italy. She’s […]
Anthony’s got its start in 1984, when Henry Mann opened his first slice shop on the 16th Street Mall. As at any stereotypical pizza shop, the service has always been gruff, though not unfriendly. Know what you want when you get to the counter, order it, and you’ll have no problems. In addition to quality […]
This is romantic, refined dining, in a room so elegant you forget Tuscany is part of a hotel. The kitchen focuses on things Italian, offering sophisticated fare (including wonderful rustic breads) that takes a few chances.
During its nearly three decades in business, Pantaleone’s has survived boom and bust cycles — but when the southeast Denver pizzeria failed to really bounce back from the last recession, owners Pete and Paulette Fafalios contacted Kitchen Nightmares — and in summer 2013, show host Gordon Ramsay came to town to turn the restaurant inside […]

A quintessential red-sauce joint that’s been serving northwest Denver for more than fifty years. The bottomless pot of minestrone comes with the meal, the bread is the kind of thick, spongy Italian that’s ideal for sopping up the gravylike red sauce, the pastas are made in-house, and the zabaglione-custard-topped tiramisu is a wonder.
Situated in the now-hip Highland neighborhood, Carl’s Pizza is anything but trendy. It’s an old-time neighborhood Italian joint serving good spaghetti and meatballs, manicotti and pizza since 1953. Dinners come with soup or salad; spaghetti and meatballs can be ordered by the pint or the quart. It’s nothing fancy, just good food with a good […]
Cucina Colore has had an enviable run. As other restaurants in Cherry Creek North have come and gone, this beloved Italian bistro, with its big windows and landscaped patios, has quietly done its thing for nearly thirty years. Founded by Venanzio Momo, who once owned a coterie of Colore-branded outfits, the restaurant fits its well-heeled […]
The original Carmine’s on Penn has held down its corner of Pennsylvania and Bayaud since 1994. When the restaurant opened, it was intended as a place where large groups could converge and enjoy themselves without thinking too much about what they were eating – ordering big platters of Italian food served family style, which is […]
Since 1992, Barolo Grill has served upscale Northern Italian fare in Cherry Creek with charm and sophistication – and a generous amount of vintage wine. Ryan Fletter, who worked there for nearly as long as it’s been open, took over from Blair Taylor as owner in 2015 and quickly installed executive chef Darrel Truett in […]
Anthony’s is a homegrown pizza empire, and it got its start in this space on California Street that was previously home to another New York-style slice purveyor. Perhaps for that reason, it has more of a vintage feel than most of the other locations that have come since. Inside the small storefront, you might actually […]

The Cherry Tomato is a comfortable place with cracked-tile floors and rough brick walls, a bar crowded with locals and a young, eager staff. The cooks work in an open foxhole of a kitchen, preparing a menu that’s simple and ageless: homemade minestrone, caprese salad, pasta marinara, amatriciana and Alfredo, two kinds of lasagna, and […]
