It had been a while since our last visit to Barolo grill and we noticed some updates to their menu offerings. Our server walked us through his favorite options. We opted for the four course tasting menu and could not have been happier with our selections. Highly recommend the Fritto Misto as an appetizer - the grilled lemon crema is delicious. The Agnolotti di zucca was amazing, especially with our wine pairing. The sage brown butter it was cooked in was incredible. Highly recommend and look forward to our next visit.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Denver! The food is amazing and the pasta Monday deal can’t be beat. The service is always fantastic as well. This was my first time sitting on their covered/heated patio during the winter and was worried it wouldn’t be warm enough at first. I couldn’t even feel the cold! The heaters worked great.

My friends and I had a wonderful time at Venice! My friend said that this was some of the best italian food she’s had in a while! From the salads to the dessert, it’s really hard to go wrong here. Each dish was delicious and made to order. Additionally, there was what seemed like an option for everyone due to their expansive menu. I will definitely be visiting Venice again when I’m back in town!

Noth never disappoints! On this occasion, the restaurant was extremely busy and getting started with service took 15 minutes or so, which is unusual. Maybe they were short waitstaff? Once our service was engaged everything rolled along very smoothly and our server Jordyn W was excellent! Our meals were cooked to perfection and delicious.
