Dinner here was great, I loved the jam that came with the charcuterie. The scallops in the corn risotto were cooked to perfection. The steak was the highlight though, prepared a perfect medium-rare and the sauce it came in was fantastic.
We were hungry after a morning flight from Denver, and the Sunday brunch dish of chicken hash couldn't have been more delightful. Great flavor and ingredients!
Had risotto with shrimp for lunch there two days later, and it, too, was terrific, if pricey for a fairly small dish at $25. However, my wife's Panzanella salad had way too much dressing on it, to the point of being unpalatable.

The atmosphere was good and the food was good but the service was weird. We came in for the tasting menu but someone in our party didn’t like the selections on the tasting menu so our server said he’d come back to give us time to decide. He came back and took our order but then told us that if anyone wanted the tasting menu then the whole table had to order the tasting menu so he left again to give the rest of the table time to change their orders. When he came back we ordered and then asked for wine pairing suggestions and he said “I don’t know what you like” instead of offering wine selections based on our food. The food was really tasty when it came out but the chocolate mousse dessert was basically a butterfinger in a round shape. Overall, our server was just kind of distracted, grumpy, and not very helpful but the food was good. Definitely spent less than we would have if even one of us had gotten the tasting menu. The chicken gnocchi was really good but I like a pan fried gnocchi and this was more of a lightly cooked gnocchi. Still really good dish though!
This was not far from my hotel in downtown. Was on a business trip and was suggested this place from the hotel staff. Loved the style and look of the restaurant. Had some soup and bread as a starter and got the lamb and port bolognese. Was very tasty! I'd suggest others to this spot as well.
We came to Panzano on a whim to celebrate our 6 month wedding anniversary and it surpassed our expectations! I note that we came on a whim because we did not make a reservation prior to walking in and waited over an hour for a table since they were fully booked that evening. This was completely our fault for poor planning so I highly highly suggest making a reservation in advance to ensure you secure a table! I promise it won't disappoint! Our waiter was incredible, and I am now kicking myself for not remembering his name because he truly was so great! We ordered the calamari to start and a bottle of wine to share - the manager came over to our table to open it for us and told us that at no point should we be serving ourselves, and he wasn't wrong! When our waiter or other employee saw our glasses almost empty, they immediately came over to refill us. Talk about incredible service! The calamari was delicious, we loved the veggies tossed in the mix, but our entrees stole the show! My Husband ordered a mushroom pizza and I ordered the Agnolotti, which is served with a pasta similar to ravioli, in a pesto ricotta sauce. Delightful! It was the perfect way to celebrate our wedding anniversary!
We had breakfast here 2 days in a roll. Everything we ordered are freshly made and really good. The banana French toast is especially yummy.
This is a historic Italian fare that has been in business in the Denver downtown area for a long time. However, the surrounding areas is a bit shady. The food was solidly good and authentic, but not at the level that I would say it's other worldly. The staff is friendly and very attentive, which makes up for some of the shortcomings of the food and made our dining experience more enjoyable.
Incredible experience here! One of my new favorite restaurants. The environment was lovely. Staff were so sweet. We ordered the brussel sprouts and Foccacia as appetizers. The bread was delicious, but the brussel sprouts were out of this planet amazing! Sweet glaze with postacios and shredded apples. A beautiful touch! I highly recommend!
For our mains, I ordered the duck dish with mustard seed, farro, and blackerries. The meat was perfectly cooked. The sweetness level was perfect!
My partner ordered the butternut squash raviolis. The sauce was incredible. Raviolis cooked perfectly and the squash sweetness was beautiful.
We ended our meal with the cup of Tiramisu, creamy, chocolaty, super delicious!
Sooo looking forward to coming back here in a couple of weeks when they switch to their summer menu!
Update:
Went there again. Wonderful experience. Our waiter Carlos, was very accommodating!
The melanzane was fantastic. If you love eggplant, this is your dish!!
