    Bucatini

    We went for a friend's birthday/girls dinner and the patio was so lovely! Our server was awesome, knowledgeable and attentive (but not overall) and all of the food was good.

    Amazing food and good service. The amuse bouche they started us off on was cheese, honeycomb, and hazelnuts. It was very good and a cute bite. We tried the grilled bread plate. The bread was an olive ciabatta bread that was so delicious and some of the best ciabatta and olive bread I've ever had. The olive oil and balsamic was also very good. We also had the burrata and that was very good as well. There was arugula, butternut squash, kumquat jam, and apples on top and the combination was amazing and the perfect amount of saltiness. The cheese was soft and fresh and was great. We tried the lamb pasta and it was so good! The noodles were fresh and were clearly made well in house. The lamb had great flavor and was very tender. I would've preferred more cheese as someone who loves cheese but overall the dish was amazing and the chunks of meat were perfectly sized. The ribeye steak we got was cooked perfectly! The chilis cooked with it were amazing and complimented the steak super well. They cooked it to a perfect medium rare. Some parts of the meat felt more fatty and a bit chewy but was great overall. The polenta was also so creamy and good. I felt that overall the food could've come out hotter but not a big complaint. For desserts we had the cannolis and the rosemary citrus crème brûlée. The cannolis had a perfect shell and the cream inside was chocolate. The garnish was chocolate pearls. Everything went perfectly together and wasn't too sweet. Never had a cannoli that didn't have a mascarpone cheese filling and I really liked it. The crème brûlée had great rosemary and citrus flavor. The sugar on top was perfectly torched. Interesting presentation of it since the dish was shallow, but was amazing. Super thick and rich. We had the mezcal cocktail which was smoky and sweet and we had the gin cocktail which was super booze forward and strong but was so good. I loved the cherry at the bottom. We also got a glass in limoncello which was so good and I love that limoncello flavor. We tried the barbera and the chianti. Both went well with the steak and pasta and were decent wines. Nothing too much to say here as I don't drink wine often. The service was good and the food came out at a good pace. They were out of the lasagna, we had a reservation on a Saturday at 8 pm. Highly recommend this restaurant! Definitely probably the most high end restaurant in Golden, but worth visiting at least once!

    I wasn't aware of Bella Colibri until recently. It's def a date night spot. Their dishes are awesome! Beautifully plated and they taste amazing! The staff was amazing as well. The most memorable was this Watermelon on ricotta bread. Get this! It's so wonderfully good and different. In the appetizer section. The lasagna was described as homemade. Fruit di Mare was loaded. We had the following: Entree: 1.Fruti Di Mare *maltagliatti pasta, halibut, clams, mussels, prawns vodka red sauce 2.Lasagna Bella beef lasagna, whipped ricotta & mascarpone, parmesan, and buffalo mozzarella. Cocktails: 1.Toronto - Four Roses Bourbon / Fernet / Demerara Simple / Bittermen's Transatlantic 2.Violoncello - Los Vicenos Mezcal / Caravella Limoncello / Lemon / Agave / Bittermen's Orange Bitters 3.Bounce Back - Four Roses Bourbon / Fernet / Lemon / Pineapple / Simple / Bittermen's Transatlantic Dessert: Tiramisu-Rich & creamy layered Italian classic, espresso-dipped lady fingers, mascarpone, brandy, and amaretto. What a find! Make time for this wonderful spot in Golden! You won't be disappointed!

    We were a group of about 10 for a 6:30 pm weeknight reservation, the big table was ready and we were seated and offered water immediately. Granted it was a bit slow that night but still, a good start. And then it became spectacular. A beautiful, elegant and comfortable setting as I'd heard about. And up front I'll say, I see reviews here of bad service and other complaints, and I know even the best businesses screw up on occasion, and more often these days. They can't get, or keep, good staff - same with my company so I can really relate to that challenge. But our evening was perfect. We were recommended a very nice Chianti which we ended up polishing about 3 (???) bottles of, very happily. And a bottle of white and, well, some other drinks. Things got a little fuzzy at some point in the evening and I lost count. The food - the FOOD - amazing. An appetizer that was tomatoes and squash and, other stuff, I just know that the table gobbled up two big plates of it in no time and were all raving about it. Then, the entrees - everyone loved their food, I got the lasagna and that is a great choice! You see photos of the lasagna here from others, it was the envy of the table, a huge serving and it came with it's own special silver spatula, which for some reason I fell in love with, it was just a really fun cool touch. The cheese and pasta and sauce and meat in this dish were just amazing, but I was forced, begrudgingly, to share some bites of it with my table mates as they could see how much I was enjoying it. Next time I'll eat alone! And then two huge dessert trays, too varied to describe but all just sumptious. Especially the CANOLI, I mean seriously, just spectacular. Not overly sweet, just the right balance and a chocolate/cocoa flavor that was mouth watering, in the perfect shell. Really, really dangerously great dessert that could become habitual so, be forewarned. Anyway, yes we'll be back, I want to do the Chef's table seating, I would love to watch them prepare their amazing food and try some of their other dishes. Highly recommend.

    Great meal, good atmosphere, excellent service! What else could anyone ask for. We got in early without a reservation, but I'd recommend making one especially on a weekend. The pasta was perfectly prepared cooked al dente and burrata was fresh and creamy with sweet beets and spicy jam.

    My wife and I found Ignazio's from a Google search while on a desperate weekend hunt for cheese…read moreravioli. Despite living less than ten minutes from Ignazio's, this was our first visit, but it definitely won't be our last. The owner, Nancy, greeted us warmly when we entered, provided exceptional table service, and made our time at Ignazio's more than just an excellent meal but a memorable experience. First, the food. The reviews are accurate. Ignazio's has EXCELLENT pasta. My wife chose the cheese ravioli, and I ordered the bolognaise. Both exceeded our expectations. The cheese ravioli was delectate, not over-seasoned, and served in a delicious marina sauce. Ravioli tends to get rubbery when the pasta is rolled to thick, or tears or breaks down if rolled too thin. These ravioli were ion the "goldilocks zone" of thick enough to hold their body, but delicate enough to be easily severed with the side of a fork. The flavor was a well-balanced mix of cheese, herbs, and tomato acidity. Simply delicious. My bolognaise with penne pasta had the perfect mix of veggies, including fresh peas that hadn't been cooked to mush. The best thing about bolognaise is the pleasing mixture of textures it includes when done correctly. Ignazio's was flavorful, contained delicious and properly-cooked veggies, and had a perfectly-sized dollop of ricotta on top. The ricotta is a genius touch - another contrast of texture along it a temperature contrast. I ate the entire bowl full. We visited over the Spring Break weekend, which made for less-than-full restaurant, which according to the owner, Nancy, is unusual for a weekend evening. She recommended reservations on the weekend as they're typically full-up for the weekend dinner rush. Nancy spent real time at our table, answered questions, provided guidance on the menu, and genuinely made us feel seen and appreciated. Excellent food coupled with excellent service = a restaurant we will absolutely return to in the near future. I've only tried two dishes, but would already place Ignazio's as the best Italian restaurant in Lakewood. It reminds me of the small mom-and-pop Italian places I miss from Chicago that provide excellent food at reasonable prices, served with real hospitality. Ignazio's is a gem.

    If you're looking for legit Italian sandwiches in the Denver area, Ignazio's Kitchen absolutely…read moredelivers. I've actually been here a handful of times before, but always stuck to the pizza and pasta (which are great). I honestly can't believe I overlooked the sandwiches for this long. I went with the chicken parm sandwich and it was outstanding--crispy, perfectly breaded chicken, rich marinara, and just the right amount of melted cheese on fresh bread that holds everything together without getting soggy. Easily one of the best chicken parms I've had around here. I reluctantly traded half for the sausage and peppers sandwich, and honestly... it was just as good. The sausage had great flavor and snap, the peppers were cooked perfectly, and everything tasted fresh and well-balanced. It's rare you order two different sandwiches and can't decide which one you liked more, but that was the case here. One of the sneaky best deals: you can add a cup of soup for just $2. I tried the rustic sausage and potato soup and it was excellent--hearty, flavorful, and felt homemade in the best way. What stood out beyond the food is how consistent everything felt with what others say: high-quality ingredients, generous portions, and that authentic, no-frills Italian deli vibe. You can tell they care about doing simple things really well.

Cocktails are great, wine selection is wonderful, service is attentive, and a vibrant environment. Give it a shot! One thing to be aware of, and one recommendation - They do not take reservations.

Our server acted like taking our order was a favor, and she was so eager to walk away I had to get her attention TWICE to finish ordering what I wanted (hey, can we also get an order of pepperoni rolls, HEY, can I also get an IPA). Zero attention paid to water and drinks that needed replenishing. The manager needs to pay more attention to the level of service and professionalism of the staff, a lot more. This may be why they tack on a mandatory 20% surcharge with a little lecture on the receipt about how it provides a living wage, because I doubt they'd ever get tips at that level with this style of service. Or maybe the service is that way because they don't feel any need to work for a gratuity. Under the circumstances, calling this a "hospitality" charge was just plain tacky. I didn't feel like there was any hospitality, certainly not enough to warrant a 20% fee.

It's not enough to cover your restaraunt costs with the $25 burger I just ordered?

Freddie recommended the crudo with caviar and what a wonderful harmony of flavors. These were both standout winners. And the carpaccio meat was incredibly soft.

This was probably my least liked branzino I have had. The olive sauce was just way too strong for this fish. The fish itself was beautiful but I couldn't get past the sauce. I would pass on this, even if you like olives. The rabbit ragu really surprised me and it was my 3rd favorite thing we ordered. I would definitely order that again. We passed on dessert since we were full and nothing sounded too good. We did valet at the hotel next door. I immediately told my friends this was one of the best Denver restaurants we've had.

I opted for the Chateau Ste. Michelle Sauvignon Blanc from the Horse Heaven Vineyard, and it was lovely. It was very refreshing with light citrus notes that weren't overpowering and a really nice body overall. I also have to give a shout-out to the staff for the presentation; the glassware was crystal clear and spotless, which always makes the drink taste a little better. The atmosphere is perfectly casual, with TVs playing the NFL playoffs (and presumably other sports), making it a relaxed spot to hang out without being too "stuffy."

Drove into Golden, "It Was Busy!" A country Singer was at Red Rocks, still I found more than what I had known in the past! First: FREE PARKING, covered or outside off of Washington and 12th. I felt I had won the Lottery. As I was exiting, a man pulled in next to me, and stated, Indulge Bistro around the corner is "Fantastic, you and your Service Dog will love it!" He was spot on. A short corner walk, the street were crowded, I thought, has Golden changed so much - I have been out of the loop? Strolling past a lovely "Every Table Filled" with delighted guess enjoying food and conversation. Pretty Eyes and I walked into the Front Entrance, What a Lovely Presentation. Immediately I was greeted by Pearl, a lovey young lady who sat us inside, (I was over done on the heat!) She asked if we would like water or a drink, I prefer Ice Tea, and some water in our special Doggy collapsible bowl. Service was prompt, with menues with a Special menu, "Staff Suggestions!" This fit my desire for an incredible salad. "Butternut Squash with Feta cheese, walnuts, over frisée, drizzled with a Maple syrup house fashioned dressing!" YUM Do you have a small plate of chicken, nothing special please, Pretty Eyes and I enjoy our meal together, "Please a simple portion/child portion would be great." What the chef prepared was phenomenal. If I were not a vegetarian, (sampling for spice) I would have gobbled the glazed chicken myself. The chicken was freshly cooked, with a ever so slight glaze, TENDER was the primary touch. The service was exemplary! Especially learning the facts. Pearl and Daryl were the ONLY TWO servers!! Daryl took orders, made the drinks at the Bar and Tables besides taking food order, delivery the delicious meals to all on the patio, at the Bar and tables!! Pearl presenting seating, drinks - menu and cleaning up after customers left. This is a HUGE amount of work, and accomplished flawlessly. I had to ask, "am I out of the loop on the busyness of Golden?" "No, we have a famous country singer at Red Rocks for several nights; these are all people from Texas, Arkansas, Kansas, New Mexico and more states including Colorado. During my time at Indulge Bistro, I watched while two women accomplish a daunting task in seating, taking orders, delivering, clean up, bartending - with out as much as a whisper of non contentment. Instead many "Thank You from all customers." More than IMPRESSIVE! And the food was Incredibly Delicious. I will admit I would had preferred less frisée, yet the salad was unbelievably delicious I could not shave off 1/2 of a star! The service extraordinary from two lovely woman, and the Ambiance is not wanting for any more extras. The wine list, the surround bar, entrance, patio, Free Parking, excellant service without a complaint nor appearance of overwhelm! These ladies are professionals, with a steadfast demeanor to accommodate every customer who walks through Indulge Bistro Glass Doors in Golden Colorado. AMAZING!
