Top Best Italian Restaurants in Parker

"Barolo Grill, a stellar Italian restaurant in Cherry Creek, is for beautiful bottles of wine, unassailable pastas and sultry braised duck; for exquisite service and fine-tuned tasting menus sketched with experimental flavors bereft of borders. For one of the loveliest dining rooms in the city, where tables are still sheeted with white tablecloths dressed with polished silver, the lighting is gentle and warm and the amorous table for two, snuggled against the glow of the fireplace, symbolizes classic romance. Put it on your bucket list."

"Offering Piemontese Italian food for three decades, Barolo Grill has long been a gold standard in fine Italian dining. Their creative dishes retain their appeal with the knowledgeable expertise of the staff who visit Italy yearly. On the menu you can find Tuscan flavors mixed with U.S. pairings and preparation, giving it a nice mix of home and the different, exotic regions of Italy."

"Every summer, Barolo Grill hangs up a closed sign and sends its staff on a two-week tour of Italy. That’s how seriously it takes its commitment to producing some the most authentic, exquisite Italian food you’ll find this side of the Atlantic. Although you can order a la carte, experience the full force of the restaurant’s capabilities with the five-course tasting menu."

"This is the first outpost of the popular New York eatery of the same name, which drew its inspiration from the traditional butcher guilds of Italy that oversaw quality of meats. It fulfills its steakhouse creds with a menu that includes classic filet mignon, New York Strip and bone-in rib steak. There's also fresh pasta with Porterhouse and baked lasagna with filet meatballs."

"Outstanding wine list and hospitality from servers and sommelier. Tasteful interior design and decor made for a nice atmosphere, but the awful pop music ..."

"There’s nothing unique about cheap pizza—except when it’s brought to you by the team behind Frasca Food and Wine, consistently named one of Colorado’s best restaurants. Pizzeria Locale’s two Denver locations may be fast-casual (order at the counter) joints, but there’s no skimping on quality here. Go-to options include the prosciutto and arugula and the Mais, which is topped with ham, corn, and crème fraiche."

"If you can’t tell from this picture, this is the best darn pizza in the state of Colorado. Fresh, homemade dough and local, organic ingredients baked together in a traditional brick oven makes these pizzas taste like they’re right out of Naples, Italy. Simple ingredients and traditional methods make Pizzeria Locale a must."

"This Speer neighborhood restaurant may be more than halfway into its fourth decade, but based on the 30-minute-plus wait you’re likely to face on any given night, it’s got another four in it (not to mention a new-ish sibling in Littleton, attached to Carboy winery, that opened in 2016). A maze-like floor plan and stained-glass windows give it a charming, well-worn quality, while the menu marries a classic oyster bar with a neighborhood Italian joint. Once you’ve had your fill of bivalves—raw on the half-shell or char-grilled and topped with garlic, butter, and Pecorino cheese (among other options)—you can move onto pizzas and pastas, all of which are made from scratch daily."

"Sixth Ave., is another prime choice, with Yelpers giving the bar and Italian eatery, which is known for its seafood and wine, 4.5 stars out of 993 reviews."

"North Italia is another of the best Italian restaurants in Denver. This Italian chain eatery does not disappoint with its Denver outpost, serving a large menu of Italian favorites ..."

"This farmhouse space is bright, airy, and full of character. The exposed brick and wooden features contrast beautifully with the orange, green, and white decor throughout, offering..."

"We usually go here for family gatherings and the staff are usually very positive. The only downside is there our limited par..."

"Lively, family-friendly chain featuring Italian standards such as pastas & salads, with a full bar. Open for lunch and dinnerDress code: CasualPhone: +1 303-450-9528"

"Its name translates to “hole in the wall” in Italian, but while Bettola Bistro resides in a suburban strip mall, seats a mere 40 diners and is bereft of splashy pomp and circumstance, the space oozes with the kind of casual, laid-back romance that’s quietly illicit. The vibe is mellow and convincingly genuine, in part because the dining room is staffed by exceptionally warm servers who know a thing or two about hospitality. The food — baked Gorgonzola cheesecake with pear compote, risotto with wild mushrooms, lamb ragu with housemade tagliatelle and cioppino — is the handiwork of chef Enrique Socarras, whose Italian-leaning creations are accessible, comforting and taste like love."

"It’s not often that the hunt for cacio e pepe or saltimbocca leads you to East Illif Avenue, but since Bettola Bistro opened last summer, now it can. Chef-owner Samir Mohammad and host (and fiancé) Rachel Firestone have created a sweet, unpretentious neighborhood joint where you’re treated like family (in a good way) and fed with care. Mohammad has cooked all over the world, including, most recently, as the chef at History Colorado Museum, but he’s brought an approachable, familiar, and utterly delicious sensibility to the Italian fare he creates—all by himself—at Bettola."

"At Bettola, Chef Samir Mohammad and his partner, Rachel Firestone, accomplish in a tiny space in an Aurora strip mall what bigger, more lavishly appointed eateries can only dream of, making each guest feel like welcome family members enjoying a special meal just for them. With a minimal staff and a tiny kitchen, the couple turns out tempting Italian cooking that straddles the line between traditional and innovative. The menu changes with the seasons, and you may even find ingredients from Mohammad and Firestone's home garden."

"Originally founded in a beautiful pale-yellow Victorian house off Pearl Street in Boulder, Lucile's Creole Café has been bringing delicious Southern Creole cooking to Denver for the past 38 years. The quaint eatery attracts loyal crowds for their delightful breakfast specialties and mouthwateringly warm beignets, which can be enjoyed in the homey interior or out on the lovely porch and patio, which boasts breathtaking views of the Rocky Mountains. The menu features creative takes on traditional dishes such as New Orleans praline waffles with pecans, fruit, and fresh whipped cream; eggs Sardou served with creamed spinach, fresh Gulf shrimp, poached eggs, and hollandaise sauce; and blackened Atlantic salmon cooked Cajun style and served with two eggs, grits or potatoes, and a buttermilk biscuit."

"The beignets at Lucile’s are so good that they are offered both as an appetizer and a dessert. These fluffy, pillowy confections are served hot and topped with powdered sugar and are just as good as any you’ll find in New Orleans—yeah, we said it!"

"Originally founded in a funky old Victorian house off Boulder’s Pearl Street, this quaint morning eatery now generates long lines across the Front Range for its chicory coffee, beignets, pain perdu, and more Creole specialties."

"Family owned and operated, Five Guys is one of the leading fast casual burger restaurants in the world, offering a classic take on burgers, hot dogs, fries, milkshakes and more. Our business started in 1986 with a fanatical focus on quality ingredients, clean restaurants and exceptional customer ..."

"The Lowdown: Cakeheads specializes in custom cake designs targeted to birthday celebrations and other milestone events. While all cakes are custom to each client, past projects include a stack of Harry Potter books, casino nights, zombies, life size bottles of liquor, and many more. Be sure to call ahead to obtain pricing and placing customized orders."

"If you want to wake up to the warm, comforting smell of a delicious cinnamon roll, the Colorado grown, community-based Duffeyroll Cafe has you covered. What they have to say: "Duffeyroll Cafe has been a holiday tradition in Denver for over 34 years. As we approach our 35th anniversary(!) we are continually thankful for the support we have received from everyone who walks through our doors.

Holiday dessert idea: Bake at Home pans are the perfect holiday morning tradition and they also make a great gift; buy three or more pans and get $1 off each one—from 3 to 300"

"These are freshly baked cinnamon rolls with cream and sprinkles on them – what can be better than that?. They are flaky on the outside, warm and gooey on the inside, and just small enough so you can justify having two….or five."
