We went there expecting a full restaurant but dying lunch time there is a cafeteria style set up. They have a main and a few sides to choose from. Although it was way more casual than expected, the food was good. There is extremely limited seating so it wouldn’t be hard for this place to get busy/crowded.

Three of us popped in for dinner on an extremely busy Friday night. Normally, we don’t care to be crammed into small spaces like sardines, but the cozy ambiance of this place made it bearable enough. In this case, we were willing to forgo perfect comfort if the homemade pasta was really as good as everyone claimed. Simply put, we were not disappointed. Everything we ate was delicious. From the simple bread to the antipasti platter to the burrata appetizer to the lasagna, squid ink pasta, and cioppino dishes, we couldn’t find anything to complain about as far as taste and presentation go and believe me, we tried. If we HAD to make a critical comment, I’d say the antipasti platter is a little small for the price, but we just won’t order that next time and will instead stick to the pasta dishes. All in all, we all agreed this was one of our best recent meals in Boulder. We are going back for their lunch special this week.

This cozy place is great serving the most delicious authentic Italian food in Colorado. Service was fast & friendly and the complimentary bread was so fresh and tasty.

Sure was a treat having lunch here with my friend. Family owned and a relaxing setting to enjoy a home cooked meal. And the price won’t break the bank. 23 years and I hope them many more, I surely will be back

I cannot stress-enough how wonderful and fantastic the food and service is, here. The pasta is so fresh, I feel like I’m in Italy! Don’t dismiss the house wines. They’re also surprisingly fabulous .

I don’t know what Lola is talking about… she seems to have lost her mind swearing at the owners. We loved our dinner and the pasta was filled with lots of love!

Eggplant Parmesan was so oily and way too much sauce…. definitely not worth it. They also charged me $26 instead of the 22 shown on their menu. Pesto ravioli was also extremely oily… be prepared to be disappointed in the flavor since it’s all SMOTHERED in oil. They also messed up my takeout order and didn’t add Asparagus into the Pesto cream ravioli. Overall 2/10 experience after paying $100+ for literally 4 pasta dishes.. would not recommend for now… unless you want overpriced pasta and a plate of greasy sadness.

Cute little place with wonderful service and food. We had homemade ravioli with the meatball sauce and the dinner favorite the shrimp and mushroom alfredo parpedelle pasta. The pasta is made fresh and you can taste it! The sauces are homemade and the tirimisu was just the dessert I needed after a long day!

This is by far the best restaurant experience I’ve had in years. The best Italian food I’ve had in Colorado. I come from an Italian family and am incredibly particular and this food had me rethinking everything I thought I knew about real Italian food. The customer service with also top teir. Honestly even if the customer service sucked I’d still go here and spend my money, the food is seriously that good. They were just the kindest people working there. I had a lemon chicken and pasta with pesto cream sauce and my partner had lamb ravioli with sausage marinara and everything was perfection, can’t even pick what was better. Do yourself a favor and check it out…

Absolutely. Amazing. I would fly back to CO just for this place! If you love Italian do yourself a favor and come here. My family has lived here for years, we found this place just browsing. They’ve already been back and ordered pounds, yes pounds, of carry out.
