First time here and it was a lot smaller than I expected and feels more like a casual and fast dining experience. You order your food at the counter and pay there and then sit at a table of your choosing and wait for the food to come out. The food although was pretty tasty was very small portions for the price you’re paying for it. My stuffed shells came with 5 shells on the plate for $19… bit overpriced in my opinion for the fact that this is not a traditional sit down restaurant and you don’t get much food.

So I ordered through Uber Eats (my last time doing that for this restaurant because they take a HUGE chunk of the profits from DiFranco's), and the delivery guy brought the wrong order. I was so upset because we LOVE their food. So I called the restaurant to let them know that I received the wrong order, and not only did they make it right, but the owner, Dave, brought my order out himself!! I went to give him the incorrect order and Dave says, "Please keep it and have it for lunch tomorrow." This place is absolutely AMAZING and they always come through. THANK YOU THANK YOU DIFRANCO'S!!!!

Visited Difranco’s for date night. Hidden gem with phenomenal Italian dishes! We had one of the seasonal pasta dishes and pasta shells both were excellent the sauce was very rich and flavorful. The house wine was also good, bottled locally in Denver. The staff was very kind and educational on selecting what to order. Definitely would recommend!

Absolutely the best pasta in town! The flavors were incredible, especially their rich and flavorful red sauce that tasted like it had been simmering all day. The service was top-notch—friendly, attentive, and happy to accommodate every extra request with a smile. Prices were very reasonable, especially considering the outstanding quality of the food. (Buy one penne get one for a penny on Tuesday’s!) Dining here feels like coming home to an Italian grandmother’s kitchen, where every bite is made with love and care. Without a doubt, I’d recommend this spot over any other pasta place in the area!

Maggiano's Little Italy in Denver blends Italian classics with a lively wine bar, catering, delivery, and takeout near the 16th Street Mall. Guests praise attentive service (notably JD), seasonal holiday vibes, and flavorful dishes like Rosa spritz, ravioli, and Wagyu meatballs. While crowds can slow service during peak times, the menu and festive atmosphere make it a popular spot for celebrations and gatherings.
