Barolo Grill

Another disappointing Italian experience in Denver, after numerous people hyped this place up. I will say I prefer southern Italian, but even so, the dishes didn’t deliver. The veal agnolotti was pretty sparse on veal and was basically just a vessel for butter and cheese - which normally I’d say is delicious, but not in this case. The porcetta pasta dish I got was okay, but had a little bit of a bitter taste to it. The octopus was fine, but a bit chewy. The veal carpaccio, which we were warned was very basically seasoned, wasn’t very exciting. They did offer a truffle add on, but for $35 on that small of a dish, didn’t seem worth it. Italian wine offering was very good and the bartender who served at the bar counter was great. Also appreciated the restaurant has sound dampening panels

Literally one of the best restaurants I’ve been to! The service is outstanding, starting the second you walk through the door. Our server, Melanie, was genuinely enthusiastic about us enjoying our evening and shared her stories with us about her travels to Italy, which the entire restaurant team does annually to learn about Italian cuisine. There were 3 of us eating dinner so we all ordered something different, which allowed us to try almost everything on the menu. Every item was truly spectacular and the wine pairings were perfect. I highly recommend! The items pictured are the focaccia, arugula salad, amberjack, mushroom tortellini, spinach spaghetti, gnocchi, steak, pork tenderloin, salmon, cheesecake and carrot cake.

This is our goto place for any celebration. Our friend from France came this week and of course, asked if there was a chance we were going to Barolo. Saturdays are generally very busy, and yet we were sat very quickly and in a great table overlooking the main room and fireplace. The starters were amazing, with the golden and red beet salad taking the gold, and the grilled octopus a close second. My main dish was the shrimp spaghetti and was very impressed with the portion size. The sauce has wonderful nuances that I could not find words for even after asking if the chef could provide some insight on the spices. A great evening with great service from Ryan, Erin and our waitress Morgan. If you have yet to cross the threshold of this place, I Highly recommend you do it soon!

What a wonderful evening! The waitress, sommelier, and full staff are incredible. They went above and beyond for my partners birthday celebration. The food was incredible, the wine was out of this world and the desert sealed the deal. Will be back soon and many times!

Wonderful, romantic, slow-paced evening during truffle season. We had multiple selections for our 4 course tasting menu ($95) and a choice of white or black truffles shaved tableside. It was our anniversary so we were treated to espresso liqueur and decadent dark chocolate bon bons. Excellent polpa alla spagno (crispy octopus), risotto ai fungi with added truffles, bistecca di manzo (very tender meat), and the torta di formaggio (cheesecake with honey truffle drizzle). Highly recommend for a special occasion, make reservations!
