We're about to top 200 comments on our story on Denver's first cat cafe, and dozens of people lobbed meatballs at our list of the ten best old-school Italian restaurants, rolled out for the Columbus Day weekend.

It would be great if Westword was ever interested in anywhere that wasn't hipster fine dining...

Want a decidedly non-hipster appetizer? Try the Morey Amsterdam ravioli at Saucy Noodle Ristorante, which just marked its fiftieth birthday.
