Lechuga's Italian - Denver

Good food! Amazing service haven't been here in years. This was the best in town when I was a little girl and hands down still is! It's amazing how it still really hasn't changed to much. Love it!!! Now it's time to bring my kiddos to give them a taste of real Denver Italian food!!!!

I first heard about the "sausage cannoli" when I moved to the area and thought it was a joke. But once I discovered it was a real dish (though it’s not an actual cannoli; it’s a breaded sausage), I knew I had to try it. The sausage had a nice kick to it, with jalapeños mixed in the breading. The sauce was a classic red, which was solid and free of any complaints. It’s a good deal for under $10, more fitting as late-night or drunk food rather than fine dining. The location and décor felt quite dated; it seems like visiting during its heyday would have been a lot of fun.

The food is excellent and the staff is very friendly. They know how to combine jalapeños and sausage perfectly. I highly recommend the smothered little devil, paired with a side of spaghetti and salad. I’ve been a customer for almost 20 years, and I've consistently been pleased with both their food and service!

What an incredible restaurant! It's truly a hidden Italian gem in Denver! The food is outstanding. We sampled several dishes, and each one was amazing! Our waitress was also superb—friendly and efficient. It couldn't have been better!
