Rodi Italian

I had too high of expectations. I saw this restaurant on a Best Of list and was so excited to get fresh pasta. It was hard to find a table at a good time via the reservations app. And then the restaurant was about 50% full. The pasta was good! The best part of our meal was the brie appetizer. The flourless chocolate cake was a bit dry. The waiter rushed & ignored us. Suggested we order 3 apps for 2 people when 1 would have been fine. Wanted our full order at one time (not apps then add mains) and dropped off the dessert menu saying that my husband was almost done (there were 3 or 4 bites left). We were never offered a second drink. He did not check back but to take the plates. For the price, I would go to Via Vite downtown.

We LOVE this place! The pizza is outstanding, the best crust I have ever had and it is cooked in a super cool, wood fired Italian oven! They have a good wine selection and make superb cocktails (the "Pink Kiss" is AmAzInG!). Besides the pizza, they also have great pasta dishes and appetizers, and rotating specials of which we have enjoyed several. The inside vibe is clean and modern, and in the warmer weather they have great outdoor seating. Service is always good, and if you get Sean, you are in for an extra treat! :)

We recently tried Rodi Italian in Loveland. We started with the Drunken Goat, which was very nice and flavorful. For mains, we had the Cacio e Pepe, which leaned a bit heavy on the salt, and the Spaghetti al Pomodoro, which was just okay. Overall, the food was decent—though it may be that we didn’t pick the best dishes from their menu !? What really stood out was the service and ambience. The staff was welcoming, and the atmosphere made for a pleasant dining experience. Because of this, we’re definitely open to giving Rodi another try and exploring more of their menu.

I came here for a birthday dinner; my friend is a regular here, and he gave the recommendation. The place has a solid menu, with several things I'd want to order. For starters, the brussels sprouts and focaccia were both excellent and far exceeded my expectations; I'd highly recommend both. They came in good/shareable portions, too. For entree, the chicken milanese was a good 8 out of 10 dish for me. The fish of the day and short rib pasta dishes were both "very good" per my guests, and they also praised their glasses of wine and the beet salad (which I did not try myself). The place has a casual but classy vibe inside, and a large patio. Service was okay -- we had to flag down our server several times, despite it not being very busy that evening. Nonetheless, it's a lovable spot and I'll

OMG I wish I had looked at the low rating reviews ahead of time. Some of the owner’s responses are so defensive, unprofessional and accusatory of their patrons! My jaw dropped reading some of the owner’s responses. Check them out for yourselves! The way someone acts during tough times speaks volumes IMO. I wonder if they will bully me for my negative feedback too. This restaurant was extremely underwhelming and disappointing in every aspect. Literally even Olive Garden would have been a better experience. We really like Al Posto in Hyde Park, I would recommend going there before trying Rodi. 1. Food - Brie with raspberry jam and crostini: the jam was wayyyyy too sweet. Tasted like they mashed up raspberries and added tons of sugar. There were two slices of Brie which was fine but nothing
