    Belgian Waffles
    Hannah F.

    We stopped by here for breakfast with a group of family that was visiting from out of town. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everyone agreed that the ambiance was charming and that the food was great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had the fajita omelet with chicken and it was very yummy. It had great flavor, was packed with veggies and it was covered in cheese. The cubed breakfast potatoes were crispy and delicious. The French toast was very good too. My husband had the Belgian waffles and he said they were alright but he wished the portion was a bit larger. My husband said that he really enjoyed the hash browns. Everyone else was exclaiming over the pancakes and other items they ordered as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall Catalina's has reasonable pricing, cute ambiance and very good service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking is limited in the parking lot but there is some street parking available as well. We will absolutely be back and we will recommend this spot to our neighbors as well.

    The service and food were outstanding. Angel is excellent at his job. It's great to know they grind their own beef.

    This was a suggestion by my friends who live here. The was just passing through on a layover - and she recommended this diner. I AM A FAN OF DINERS!! (I'm an east coast kid ) The menu was extensive and they serve breakfast all day long!! They also serve alcohol as I saw a few margaritas float past our table. The service was friendly and I'm guessing it family run because everyone was friendly! The cooks thanked us for coming in from the kitchen!! Who does that!? THIS PLACE DOES!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The dining room was spacious.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathrooms were super clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's a counter you can eat at. And they offer tables and booths[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I ordered the shrimp fajitas and my friends ordered the 3 taco plate - chicken. It was all delicious! Their homemade hot sauce is killer too If you haven't been here you need to! I am sure you'll enjoy whatever you choose at Catalina's. My only critique is they should get a filter system for the tap water they serve - it was not good. Happy grubbing!!

    Tiramisu-

    This diner has such great comfort food ranging from street tacos to Calzones and hot sandwiches. Today's special was FRENCH dips. Served with brisket type sliced beef on a beautiful crunchy bun with gooey cheese. The au jus was just the right salty and beefy. And the dessert-homemade Tiramisu so rich and creamy. The perfect end to a really exceptional lunch.

    One of the best things about this restaurant is that it's locally owned, which is becoming harder…read moreand harder to find in the Highlands Ranch and Lone Tree area. The owners are actively involved in the community and consistently give back, especially by supporting local youth organizations and fundraisers. It's always nice to support a business that invests in the community it serves. Beyond that, the food is excellent. The menu offers a great selection of Italian favorites, from delicious pasta dishes to plenty of other options, and everything we've tried has been consistently flavorful and well prepared. They've expanded the restaurant, so there's much more seating than there used to be, and on a beautiful Colorado evening, the patio is a fantastic place to enjoy a meal. Whether you're dining in or grabbing takeout, the experience is always great. The service is consistently friendly, attentive, and professional. This is one of those local restaurants that keeps us coming back, and it's an easy recommendation for anyone looking for great Italian food and outstanding hospitality.

The service is outstanding, but it's the food that keeps us coming back there. I have never tried anything on the menu that was less than exceptional. Do not miss the garlic knots. I cant begin to explain how delicious they are. The homemade marinara and alfredo are both off the charts. Picking between the two is the hard part... In addition to dining in, we have also used them to cater multiple events. Guests consistently rave about their food.

For dessert, I've only had their creme brûlée; but again, YUMMY. Drinks = They have a good variety of soda, beer, wine, italian sodas, etc. Service = The waiters are always friendly and accommodating. Extra condiments on request! :) The front desk is sometimes not 100% friendly, but that's probably because they're so BUSY. Ambience = The church side has awesome ambience, although it feels a tad cramped. But it's a pretty cool setting for an italian restaurant. The "pizza parlor" side feels more spacious but also more like a typical pizza restaurant. It's fine. Location/parking = Location's near downtown but has plenty of parking down the street. They are basically kings on their block -- not really any other parking competition nearby.

I've been wanting to hit up Scileppi's for a while since I haven't been in town in what seems like forever. Placed a to-go order, came out to $45 + $5 tip for a piece of pizza (added extra toppings), and the gnocchi in vodka sauce instead of red + grilled chicken. Also 4 garlic knots and a cannoli. The pizza was great and the slice was hugeeee. The knots were garlic knots, nothing crazy. But the gnocchi, ugh it was not good. The sauce was so sour like they didn't cook off the vodka or something. Took a couple of bites to make sure I wasn't crazy and tossed it. It wasn't creamy like a typical vodka sauce. There was no flavor in the form of seasoning, just sour. It killed the whole vibe. The chicken was ok but since it had the vodka sauce on it, it was tossed out along with the gnocchi. We shared the slice of pizza and called it a night. Sad night for Italian food and the old stone church.

We had taken reviewers advice to make reservations, which proved invaluable, as the place was packed..on a Monday at 6pm. We were seated immediately and greeted by our server. I had mentioned on our reservation we were celebrating a birthday, and I think every member of the front end wished me Happy Birthday at least once! Overall, service throughout was impeccable! I am a huge fan of Chicken Parm, and have struggled over the years to find a version that compares to my favorite Italian eatery in NYC...pounded super thin with crispy breading and nearly overflowing the plate. I have found a new favorite, and confess I couldn't finish it. My wife had the Chicken Valeria which also was outstanding. Entrees come with a side salad...House or Caesar for a small upcharge. Both fresh and plentiful. After the mains, we had no room for dessert..as usual, but we were surprised with a pistachio cannoli for the birthday boy and it was easily one of the best cannoli we have enjoyed...even across may travels to Italy and NY. Overall an awesome dining and birthday experience, and probably good it's not in my hometown in NC as I would likely get in trouble! Five plus stars!!

The mussels themselves were ok. Lack of any taste, even in the sauce. I usually like dunking bread in the sauce but this one didn't taste that good. The server was friendly and very nice. As was the bus person who brought me water. However, I'm not sure I'd eat here again. The dishes are quite pricey. And this meal was meh. Cute place though.
