Difranco's - Denver

What a delightful find! Intimate ambience, fresh food and of course delicious! I had the stuffed shells with meat sauce with a side of broccoli. The wine was a perfect pairing. I really enjoyed my meal and can't wait to return! No pizza here. Nice short walk from Sunken Gardens Park in the city!

We search for a nice Italian restaurant online and decided on this one. We were probably a little underwhelmed walking in as we expected more of a sit-down and waitstaff style service. This place was pretty good, and was nice and clean. You step up to the counter and order your food and they bring it out to you. We ordered the chicken parmesan and spaghetti which was okay. They give you two huge pieces of chicken parmesan though which is great. The kids noodles were fine. The wine wasn't that great, but the tiramisu and the lemon cookie was tasty.

Man, what an incredibly friendly and sweet staff they have here. I ordered take out but realized that the card my Apple Pay defaulted to had just expired. I called in and asked if they received the order and they were very helpful. When I went in to pick up my food, a different person helped me at the register. I double checked again that they had actually received payment. They walked me through their POS to show they had. I would have hated to walk out that door not having paid my meal ticket. On to the food! It was excellent. I had the spaghetti and meatball. The noodles were noticeably made fresh, the sauce was spicy and full of flavor, the giant meatball had been cooked to perfection. They really took a simple meal and classes it up. The portion was too much for me to finish. Well worth the price of the menu. I will definitely be returning. I’m glad to have a favorite Italian joint, finally.

This is my favorite place the food was absolutely delicious: the staff was so nice, and everything was so clean.

This place was on my list for a while and I finally made it there for lunch why did I miss out for so long?! The food was delicious! I went with two people that are gluten free and they still had great options for them even though they specialize in their homemade pastas. The homemade sweet corn ravioli with braised pork was incredible. Staff was friendly and polite and food came quickly. It's definitely worth a visit and I'll for sure be returning!
