Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Darrel Truett

From the OpenTable editors: This sophisticated MICHELIN-Recommended spot has been serving up pitch-perfect Northern Italian food since 1992. It’s still one of Denver’s top special occasion destinations, thanks to an award-winning wine list—one of the city’s best—and refined dishes like lobster ravioli and braised duck with Kalamata olives. Cap celebratory meals here with the torta di formaggio, a decadent cheesecake topped with lavender honey and toasted hazelnuts.

We had high expectations based on the great reviews, but were very disappointed with our experience. The halibut was the worst piece of fish I’ve ever had at any restaurant. It was way overcooked, extremely dry, and under seasoned on top of it. The Tajarin I got as a replacement was a littler better, but was also under seasoned. My wife’s risotto was also mediocre. The brussels sprouts salad I had as an appetizer was the highlight of the meal—it was more along the lines of what we expected given the reviews and accolades. Overall quite a disappointment. Maybe there was a substitute chef who didn’t know what they were doing or something, or the kitchen staff was having a really bad day, but based on our experience this time, this restaurant is way overrated and I would not recommend.

We live out of state and wanted to take my mom out to a great dinner while we were in Denver. We went there with high expectations based on the reviews and my wife being from northern Italy and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of service and food. Our tajarin con conigelio was one if the highlights of the evening.

I’ve found Barolo to be pretty hit or miss over the years, and for the price, you really want it to hit on everything every time. Service was great, but the risotto was undercooked (crunchy) and the halibut was overcooked (sooo dry). A big miss this time. But still such a lovely Denver spot, so I’ll be back and hoping for a hit next time.

We took friends to Barolo Grill who had never been there before. They were blown out of the water. The service was tops, and we all loved our salads and entrées.

I’m not sure there’s a better restaurant in the region. Alex is one of the best servers in town. This is just an amazing place to spend time and money. The experience can’t be beat.

This was our first visit. It was amazing. We couldn’t decide what to eat so we asked Dani (our fabulous server) if she can do the wine pairing menu and be our tour guide for the evening. She loved the idea and four courses later we were not disappointed! The food and wine was incredible. My son and I sampled each others food and wine so we actually had 8 courses and 8 wine tastings! What an evening. The next time I am back in Denver I will 100% guaranteed return! Thanks Dani for a great evening.

Hi David! I will show this to Dani, she will be thrilled. Thank you so much for your kind words!
