A really great spot that is expensive but fair! Surprised with the food selection and wasn’t expecting so many excellent handmade pastas! All the food was very very tasty. They have entire portions that fill you up. They passed bread around the store and you were able to get seconds! This is one of the few expensive restaurants in Denver that I think merits the high price tag. Service was really fantastic. Waiter was very nice and excellent. Atmosphere was great and gets more props for being in Larimer square. 6% tip included in your bill - so make sure to tip accordingly based off what is included!

I went here a long time ago and had an amazing dinner experience! Worth it for the bread, service and they made a card for the birthday person. I recently came for Happy hour and overall everything was yummy, the only thing I was disappointed by was the cheese board, it felt like should be more or better presentation but the jam was so good. But everything else was good!

We loved our experience here. Vivian was PERFECT. She made our night so special by offering us a toast for our anniversary and the food was exceptional. The tortellini was to die for and the Thai pork chop was packed with flavor. I recommend to anyone who wants amazing service and amazing food.

We had a lovely dinner at Rioja! We had the black and white tagliatelle, which was very complex and delicious and the artichoke tortelloni, which was totally mouthwatering. I had the Thai chili pork and every bite was perfect!!! Incredible service - we appreciated the care and attention Britain showed us!! We will be back when we’re back in town!
