Another disappointing Italian experience in Denver, after numerous people hyped this place up. I will say I prefer southern Italian, but even so, the dishes didn’t deliver. The veal agnolotti was pretty sparse on veal and was basically just a vessel for butter and cheese - which normally I’d say is delicious, but not in this case. The porcetta pasta dish I got was okay, but had a little bit of a bitter taste to it. The octopus was fine, but a bit chewy. The veal carpaccio, which we were warned was very basically seasoned, wasn’t very exciting. They did offer a truffle add on, but for $35 on that small of a dish, didn’t seem worth it. Italian wine offering was very good and the bartender who served at the bar counter was great. Also appreciated the restaurant has sound dampening panels which contributed to a nice atmosphere. Really wanted to love this place, hopefully I’ll have a chance to try it again and do some different dishes. But what we had wasn’t worth the higher price point and was disappointing after hearing such great things. Sounds like many people love it, so you might too!
