    Beautiful outdoor seating area
    Maranda T.

    Much love to the Cody's / Bettola duo. Special thank you to Josh, our fantastic server w the best suggestions & Schaefer, the iconic sommelier. (If you're not up to speed yet, Cody's & Bettola have combined at Cody's & serve both menus!!) We opted to sit outside after a long day of work - love the atmosphere. Sounds of water streaming and smells of beautiful flowers. Perfect. We ordered from the Bettola menu last night && enjoyed a bottle of Riesling - Wine Wednesday friends, don't miss out!! (: To start off, we had the brussel sprouts - 11/10 a crispy, delicious flavorbomb. I ordered the rigatoni & bae ordered the scallops. SOOO FLAVORFUL. ugh. I brought leftovers home to eat later, but tbh .. they didn't last long! So yummy. We ended the night with a layered honey cake that tastes like .. angels and all things good and whole in the world. I don't know how else to explain it! Truly though .. Josh was fantastic - he was very attentive and literally gave us the best foodie recommendations. Schaefer filled us in on our choice of wine and was just all around great to connect with. Thank you again for an amazing wine&dine evening.

    Salmon Salad
    Shalee O.

    Wow, wow, wow.... Hands down one of the best accidental restaurants I've stumbled upon! I honestly didn't even look at the reviews before going and after sitting down I knew it was fate that brought my appetite there. This place is tucked in a shopping center off Iliff and Parker and met some friends for dinner after one said she wanted Italian food and suggested the spot. The ambience is cozy and inviting and the service is what makes it that much better. We chose a few apps off the menu and then asked for a recommendation for a bottle of wine to share - bonus: 1/2 price Wine Wednesdays! - and it was on point! I can't believe I forgot to take a picture but I'm sure it's a red wine that most every client has enjoyed! Since everything is made from scratch, you may wait a little longer but not to worry... the fresh homemade bread the guys bring to the table quite possibly might be the best I've ever had. It's so light and crispy with a buttery flavor that melts in your mouth and it's not what you are expecting. Paired with the oil and balsamic dipping sauce it's sooooo good! I ordered the fish and chips and the batter was perfection with a side of coleslaw that was extremely flavorful and some homemade fries. My friend ordered the salmon salad and the portion was huge and had so many fresh flavors that the combination was described as an explosion in her mouth. The other couple shared the seafood linguine and couldn't get enough of the sauce and flavor. We were more than satisfied and full by the time we left and can't wait to go back! Cheers. Thanks guys for making our first visit amazing!!

    Grilled Salmon and Pesto

    Seriously love this place. I'm from LA and visiting but they are so hospitable here. Have my kid bread and he's Allergic to nuts so they fried the Asian spring roll again separately voluntarily. The Italian place said they were full even though there open tables. glad we bailed on that place. This place is an Italian Asian fusion and it works well. Good value and well executed.

    Short rib lasagna

    What an incredible experience! Don't let the outside fool you. From the moment you step in the door you will have an incredible culinary experience in a relaxed atmosphere. The service was top! Chef's Asian and Italian fusion creations are like nothing I have ever had before. And the recommended wine choices were perfect! I hosted a large group who said "a 15 out of 10" " such unexpected amazing flavors like I have never had before". "The staff really delivered an experience, not just a meal"a few favorites- black cod with dried cherry Shiraz over a black truffle asparagus ravioli; veal Osso bucco;5spice garlic shrimp; short rib lasagna. Honey cake and Panna cotta with berry red wine. And check out the sister restaurant a few doors down Bettola

    Creamy asparagus soup
    Ryan P.

    Came in on a snow day, obvious that their regular server(s) were it working. It didn't cause too much of an issue, since the restaurant was nearly empty, our service was still amazing. I got the creamy asparagus soup while my friend got the chicken Parmesan which was amazing.

    Drinks/Happy Hour menu

    Can't decide if you want a pizza or pho for a dinner or maybe both? Look no further than Cody's cafe! This place doesn't impress from the outside and looks super old and outdated but it's really nice inside with a modern decor and a great vibe. We've tried spinach wontons, goat cheese crostini and bruschetta as appetizers (each $4 during a happy hour), and everything was pretty delightful! I couldn't decide between shrimp pizza and speciality salmon dish and our waitress (who was super friendly and kind, by the way) suggested salmon. It was full of flavors, great presentation and salmon was perfectly cooked inside (I Iike it medium rare) with a bit of yummy glaze on the outside. One of my friends got Pho, and another one went with eggplant rollatini, and everything looked and tasted really good. I really want to try their pizza one of these days and see for myself what's everyone is raving about. Overall, it is it's a very an interesting menu with a mix of Asian and Italian cuisine, and I could tell that the owners and the chef put their heart and soul into each item of the menu!

    Post COVID/Dining 7.9.2021 The dining room is NOW OPEN! They also have a lovely patio option with a water feature and LOVELY FRESH flowers. It was so nice to enjoy a great meal and sit down and dine! We enjoyed the Friday busy in the restaurant with two servers running around, lots of guest chatting and enjoying their meals with loved ones. It was nice to see friends catching up, date nights, girls night wine happy hour and large parties ending the work week at Cody's. It felt great to enjoy a meal not in a take out box and enjoy some good pasta by candlelight. I enjoyed a Misto Salad, Clams Linguine and the Matcha Key Lime Pie. All a must order. There were a couple clams with a sand crunch but the noodles and ambiance of the restaurant were fantastic! The sauce was yummy!!! The linguine noodles were Aldente and perfect! I enjoyed the warm bread with the clam sauce and the fresh herbs in every bite. The two servers were outstanding and worked so hard running around a busy and FULL restaurant. I was so grateful for a nice meal and enjoyed the experience! They have a great wine selection and change up the menu seasonally. I'll be back soon!

    Lemongrass penne
    Jaime M.

    Dropped by this restaurant after landing in Denver. We were definitely in for a treat. Italian food with an Asian twist. Josh the bartender/waiter was so nice and attentive. We got the lemongrass penne, brussel sprouts, rigatoni and it was allllll delicious! The fresh baked bread was so perfect and the wine selection is amazing. Definitely don't want to miss out on this place. They currently merged with Cody's next door. So the food was from Both menus. Incredible! Chef Sue is killing it! We love you and will definitely be back for more!

    This place is an absolute DELIGHT. They temporarily absorbed Betolla Bistro (which is two doors down) and MY LORD do they have some extraordinary Chinese food. They also have the Betolla menu and but they had a menu and guest chef for the Lunar New Year and obviously I got DEEPLY into that. The service was top notch, wine list was lovingly curated, decor was cute and casual and they are doing well with sanitation and social distancing

    Rib eye fettuccine. So delicious! Creamy, well balanced flavors, abundant pieces of meat and mushrooms.
    Josh H.

    We returned to this nice place. What did we find? For starters, newly remodeled floor. Very nice, clean, cozy, very comfortable. A new menu, delicious dishes. My son asked for Italian food and immediately Cody's cafe came into my mind. We were greeted right away as soon as we stepped in. The staff, absolutely friendly and helping. Lots of smiles and the feeling that you're home. After all, this is an Italian place. No comparison to American Italian chain eateries. This is the real thing. Best Italian food and care in Denver. Period. We started with goat cheese crostini. Simply delicious. The right amount of cheese, pine nuts, and caramelized onions. The bread tasted fresh, so it must be made onsite. The chef allowed us to taste a new item not in the menu yet: special calzone in a very unique marinara sauce and fried eggplant. Exquisite. Full of flavor, a nice amount of cheese in the calzone and the combination with the eggplant and the marinara sauce is superb. You really want to try it. For my main dish, I ordered the Parmesan chicken. A generous size of chicken breast, well seasoned, the right amount of cheese, perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside, but the inside moist and tender. How do they do that? Typically chefs forget that Parmesan cheese ya salty, therefore the final product is saltier than normal. But not in this case. The plate is so appetizing at sight, and when you dig in, it really delivers. You won't be disappointed. It has spaghetti over a marinara sauce as a garnish, which ties the entire dish. Fresh tomatoes that taste like a real tomato, you can really identify each ingredient, since they treat each element as they should, the end product is absolutely delectable and to die for. Once you eat it, you'll understand. To finalize the experience, what about a very nice portion of green tea cheesecake? It sounds mysterious until you try a bite. Creamy, thin crust, the green tea works with the cheese and none of the elements overpower the rest of the ingredients but actually produces a refreshing sweet creamy smile. I love this. Now that I think about it, my mouth waters. I have to call them and see if they sell it by the unit. I'll be coming back soon and try new more exciting dishes and will share with you all. Thank you Cody Cafe. You really made my day. August 30. 2019 ------------------- My kids and I went to try something different. One of my boys wanted Italian so instead of the traditional Olive Garden closer to my home I decided to yelp. I was hesitant since the plaza where the restaurant is located at doesn't look fancy. I thought I would regret this move. Once we walked in, I found that the place atmosphere is up to a nice bistro likes. Modern and comfortable furniture and chairs. Well, nice decor as well. Kids meal is so inexpensive but high in flavors and abundant. My rib eye fettuccine was spectacular. As I waited for the food to be brought to the table I read some reviews about the place. So my expectations were high. The flavors really pop, delicious and all ingredients work together to produce a very satisfying meal. Very generous portions. Full of flavor. Meat cooked just right, nice, moist and tender. The pasta was also on point. Right ratio of pasta, meat, and sauce. And the sauce was out of this world. I can surely say that this food competes with Olive Garden meals head-on. Prices are even lower than the Olive Garden. The place is small so I'm afraid that pretty soon they have to move to a bigger place. Give it a try and you won't regret this. In the end, my boys were happy with the quality of the food and I felt relieved I made the right choice for our meal today.

    Soft shell crab tapas
    Tanya K.

    Who knew a Vietnamese and Italian fusion would go so well together?! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves-- service was very pleasant and the food was so delicious! We got the soft shell crab and spinach and cheese wontons. Both were amazing and freshly cooked. The fusion of the wontons were beautiful and so different than any other wontons I've had, plus the fruit sauce accents it so well! The seafood in our entrees were very delicious and fresh. The servings were pretty large so I'll be having leftovers and I'm so excited to experience the meal again. The Vietnamese paella was insanely comforting. The Vietnamese flavors in a Spanish dish blended perfectly! Our desserts were very enjoyable! The chocolate cake had a pleasant saltiness. The matcha key lime pie had a great tang to finish off the meal. Service was so spot on. Melissa made us feel very welcomed even while being busy. The owners were sooo sweet and made sure we were taken cared of. I highly recommend trying Cody's out!!!

    Where to begin. This place is fantastic. The atmosphere is nice, leaning towards elegant. The service was exceptional. They were very attentive and friendly and provided some great suggestions. The food was spectacular. We (there was three of us) had some appetizers, soup, entrees, a few drinks, and all four desserts. Absolutely not a single complaint about any of it. I really don't think you could make a bad choice here. Highly recommended. I can't wait to go back.

Not sure what that persons problem is. I didn't know what to order so got the pasta rustica, a little marinara some ricotta.

I learned the 2nd floor is for larger groups accessible only by stairs. I sat in the upstairs area which was not ideal being situated between the kitchen and he dishwashing room. My server, Janee introduced herself. She was formely with Ollie & Parks, their sister restaurant that closed in Match when an U-Haul truck hit the building. I started with an Aperol Spritz for $14. Then the Caprese Insalata. Plenty of tomatoes with thick slices of burrata all drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette. Janee said Monday's are Pasta night where all pasta dishes normally $22 are $11.99; So I got the Fettuccine Carbonara with shrimp. Every table gets Foccacia with an olive oil & herb dip. But it was not Foccacia. On Pasta night you also get a Caesar salad. I added a glass of Agricola Punica "Samas" from the Italian island of Sardinia. A great smooth white Chardonnay & Vermentino blend for pasta. The fettuccine was correctly made with a cream sauce, prosciutto and peas. I got 5 large tail-on shrimps. They bring out a large bowl of grated parmesan cheese to add to your pasta. A nice touch. For dessert, I got the Limoncello cake with a 2nd glass of wine. But a weird issue popped up with the bill. Every food item was higher than the menu price. I asked Janee. She said their new POS software added in the card interchange fee which is 3%. But then I noticed the 9.15% sales tax was on the gross amount, not the actual food & drink amount. So they are overpaying sales tax which is lost revenue. I mentioned that to Janee. A different person said he would adjust the bill for the 3% fee. A glitch that needs to be remedied. Overall, the food & service were good. They offer a cash amount due for less $$ but still incorrect.

The arancini was a fusion of Indian spiced cauliflower with mint-cilantro yogurt raita. My favorite of the Spuntini dishes was the Granchio--jumbo lump crab served over a crispy potato cake with butternut squash and a perfect 63 ° egg. We split two Primi dishes: their special of the day pasta, and the Cappellini Aglio e Olio. The Cappellini was amazing--a perfect blend of Indian spices, breadcrumbs, and another 63 ° egg. Yum. If you love scallops, the Capesante dish is not to be missed. These were some of the sweetest, perfectly prepared scallops I have had.

    I have been wanting to try Panzano out for years now, so I am glad the opportunity presented…read moreitself. Panzano is located inside the Hotel Monaco along 17th in downtown Denver. When you make reservations, and it is highly recommended that you do, there is an option to select a preset theatre menu option- Theatre Prix Fixe for $60 per person or the traditional menu option. The Theatre menu is the way to go for sure. For my first course, I selected the Insalata di Caesar. This is a very large portion of salad so be forewarned but it is also very good, so win-win. For the main course, I opted for the Pollo alla Milanese. Also, a huge plate of food. I was able to make two additional meals from the chicken. The tagliatelle was perfectly cooked and the sauce paired perfectly well with the breaded chicken. Perfetto! For dessert, I had to try the Budino di Caramello. The butterscotch was truly delectable. Our server and the staff at Panzano were amazing and checked in on us frequently. I highly recommend Panzano if you're in the area.

Too much batter. 6/10. The Brussels sprouts were a standout. Super crispy with a sweet glaze, and the apple salad on top tied it all together. 9/10. Service was great overall, just wish they checked in a bit more. 8/10. Vibes were solid but nothing crazy. 7/10.

    Went for my birthday, had a reservation for 8pm on a Tuesday. Didn't get sat till 830. The staff…read moreapologized but thought that to be sort of ridiculous with a reservation. They gave us meatballs in apology which were probably the best thing we had. The table bread was very good too but everything else mediocre. Yellowtail appetizer was not quality fish. Pasta was very overpriced for what it was. I got the rock shrimp crestedish. My noodles were overcooked and mushy. How do you overcook noodles in a $40 plate at a high scale Italian restaurant. Sauce was meh, not very flavorful. My boyfriend got the spicy lobster rigatoni which was good and had fair amount of lobster but once again for the price, did not blow my mind. Overall, overrated spo

    I went to bed thinking about my meal here and woke up thinking about the review I was going to…read moreleave. I feel like everyone and their mother has been here - and for good reason. Starting with my favorite and the absolute knockout: The Dry-Aged Bistecca Agnolotti. Think of a ravioli pouch, but smaller and better, filled with meat, sitting in a bed of the most perfectly browned brown butter with thick parmesan shaves on top. You think it's over, and then your server comes and pours a sweet yet vinegary reduction on top. I'm actively eating it for breakfast as I write this. Insane. Will be thinking about this for a few days. The others in the group got the Spicy Lobster Rigatoni Alla Vodka, which is one of their most popular dishes. It was good (we swapped bites), but mine was better. For the table we split a Caesar (which I do wish had more dressing, but I love a dressing so that could just be me), filet mignon meatballs (4 in an order which was perfect for our group of 4), and the tuna and avocado carpaccio. Favorites were the meat and fish. We used the bread to sop up the meat sauce at the end. Lastly, the Chicken Parm Pizza was ordered for the table. Basically, the "crust" of the pizza is chicken parm. I think it's a little expensive for what it was, but I'm glad I got to try it with a bigger group. Can't imagine reordering it, solely for the size and cost, but it was a unique food experience. Drinks at the table included a Barbera, a Chardonnay, a Sangria, and a Spritz. All good. Overall, service was great, restaurant is beautiful, dishware is pretty, and vibes are sophisticated yet unpretentious. You will be walking 40 days and 40 nights to the bathroom though, which is outside the restaurant, through the hotel, down the stairs, and through the hallway. Can't wait to return!!!

A huge shout out to Blake for the outstanding service! The bar was absolutely packed, and Blake was constantly on the move, yet he never missed a beat. Even with the crowd and nonstop demands, he stayed friendly, attentive, and professional the entire time. Our drinks were spot on, service was quick, and somehow Blake managed to make everyone feel welcomed and taken care of. It's rare to find someone who can handle that level of pressure with such a positive attitude and genuine customer service. Thank you, Blake, for going above and beyond and helping make our night so enjoyable. Your hard work definitely did not go unnoticed, and it's employees like you that keep customers coming back! Hope to see you in the near future!!

Of course I enjoyed it. My wife had the cast iron lasagna, I had the chicken Parmesan, another had the eggplant Parmesan and Chilean sea bass. My wife lover the lasagna but only could eat half as it was cheesy. My chicken Parmesan was cook perfectly and it was delicious. The other couple loved their food but they been there several times prior so they love their food. Service was great and from the outside it looked small but they seat you downstairs which had a lot of tables. This is another place I would co e back if I was ever back in Denver.
