Chicken parm was fabulous. The summer menu just isn't for me I guess: I ate 4 bites of my fettuccini with cilantro whatever the dish was and it was over for me.. Couldn't finish it. But with all do respect to difrancos, the table across from us got my dish and loved it. Being from the south where there is legit Mexican food, I've had my fair share of green salsa and the dish tasted like green salsa on fettuccini noodles. Just my take on it. I'll be back to try a different dish and get the chicken parm :) still hat off to difrancos for everything else that was good! read more

Difranco’s - Spaghetti with fettucini good!! - Italian Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Without a doubt, the best Italian meal I've had in Denver. Get the sweet corn ravioli before summer is over, and save room for the house-made nutella gelato. The burata with an almond based spicy pesto is also not to be missed. You won't be disappointed! The service is also outstanding, especially for a walk up and order style restaurant. Extra points for excellent gluten free bread and pasta! read more

The chicken parm sandwiches were not on point. The chicken was overdone and near burnt.

Sorry for the delay, but DiFranco's reached out to me with an apology and a refund for the salads. I appreciate the concern to keep their customers happy and although I haven't been back yet, I'm sure I will stop in again soon. read more

I love DiFrancos....stumbled upon it when I was looking for a italian deli for my father's birthday. The reviews on yelp were awesome and they have not disappointed me. Not only is the food great, but so is the service. I will continue to come here and will always bring friends to share in my sweet find. :) I would highly recommend trying the penne with vodka sauce. Amazing!!! read more

The atmosphere was not what i was expecting. You have to order at the counter which is crazy when it is busy. You are also seated at a long counter that is unpleasant. The food is pretty good, but the portions are on the small side. I would recommend going for lunch instead of dinner. read more

We had the Wednesday Date Night Special, which is 2 salads, 2 entrées a bottle of wine and dessert. We had the stuffed shells and sweet potato gnocchi. Both entrées were wonderful and the cannoli for dessert was terrific. read more

Fabulous hand crafted Italian food for a great price. I had the eggplant and spaghetti. The handmade spaghetti was amazing and the eggplant was cooked to perfection. No overly breaded oil pile here, only savory, tender, tasty eggplant. I don't know if I've ever had a reason to say so many good things about an eggplant before! Yum! The sauces were smooth yet both robust and hearty as far as flavor is concerned ;-) read more

Really delicious and cute place for lunch, Especially with my friend who can't eat gluten! My gluten free friend had an amazing sandwich and she said the GF bread was great. And I couldn't get enough of my creamy pesto fettuccine. Added bonus:order the garlic bread! The prices were a little high for lunch, but the Quality of the food was outstanding. read more

Great little Italian spot in denver. I eat here regularly and always have had a great meal. Multiple good sandwiches and house made pastas. Meals are prepared to order with great fresh ingredients!!! read more

I work down the street from this place and love their salads. Friendly staff and tasty food!

Had the chicken pesto sandwich for $8 because it's Thursday! This sandwich was amazing full of flavor and just enough to fill me up. I definitely need to come again to try their homemade pasta. read more

DiFranco's catered an event at Glamour Bar Denver at the Beauvallon tonight and the food was outstanding. From the prosciutto to the salami, the pepperoncini, the cheese and the bread to the stuffed mushrooms and on to the desserts, everything was beautifully presented, full of flavor, and a perfect complement to a terrific evening. It's easy for restaurants to put their catering on the back burner, but that wasn't the case here at all. Well done! read more

I do believe that this is some of the best Italian in Denver. The owner Ryan is very intent on having the best quality foods. They have seasonal menus, that keep you wanting more! read more

We've been to DiFranco's many times, and I've also had them cater events for my business. The food is always fresh and delicious, and the people are the kind of people you want to do business with! I can't recommend them enough! read more

I can't believe it took us so long to go here. I looked for it 1/2 dozen times the last couple years....careful, you go right by it quickly. Finally I see why I've been hearing the name. The freshest, simple awesome Italian you can get. OMG I am speechless. read more

Ordered pick up here last night and I got the penne with vodka sauce which was delicious. My boyfriend got the chicken parm and we open the box and it immediately smelled like a sweet treat. We each took a bite and to our surprise it was sweet! I've had chicken parm all over and my family is Italian and I've never had something so sweet with a chicken parm. We go back because neither of us could eat it and the manager tells us it's a Sicilian recipe that uses cinnamon. But told us he can't give us a refund because we ordered through a 3rd party company. While I get people have different recipes, this was waaaaay too sweet. I think the chef went over board on it because after research on this Sicilian version of red sauce, they all say a PINCH of cinnamon. And ours had way more than just a pinch. I think the owner should specify on the description of the chicken parm that the sauce has cinnamon added to it rather than what it says, "red pepper flakes" because there was absolutely no spice from red pepper flakes with our meal. read more

This place is a GEM. I had the pesto ravioli, my lunch date had the penne with vodka sauce. Both were awesome. As was the breaded chicken breast we ordered to add a little protein to our lunch. Best thing on the menu - the thyme infused lemonade. And, there's free parking in the garage right next door. So, an all around success for lunch. read more

Great food, I got breakfast sandwiches and Ryan was super nice and the sandwiches were amazing. I'm going back now to get either chicken parm sandwich or the meatball sub, not sure. read more

I'm addicted to the prosciutto sandwich. It's criminally good!! So fresh and flavorful! Also tried the key lime pie today. Glorious. I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. read more

Authentic, homemade italian pasta. Actually first time I've ever had homemade pasta, and yes - it is fabulous. It's an eclectic deli with exquisite cuisine bursting with robust flavors. Staff is exceptionally friendly. read more

Good food, great location. I like the Vodka penne pasta and salad that I ordered. The restaurant is a little small, so I think the next time I might plan on take-out. Service was good but did have to wait for a while in line to order our food. I would recommend this restaurant if you are looking for a option better than a chain restaurant (like "Noodles") - but it does have a similar ambiance. read more

Best Italian I've had. Fresh, balanced. Try the angel hair with tomato sauce or the chicken parm. guaranteed to make you want to come back.

Friendly staff and tasty food, but really poor ambiance. Its never a good sign when your partner has to put on her coat. It was chilly, and even the top of our table was cold. I understand the intent of the big community table, but the space could have been arranged much better to create some ambiance/atmosphere to match the food. Speaking of the food, it was delicious. Polenta with mushrooms, onion, and arugala. The mushrooms were a little too sweet, but a good dish, almost a meal in itself. The gnochi with braiser lamb was great. I would have liked a little more meat, but the flavor was great. The bread is good, and the garlic bread was nice too. We'll go back, but for takeout so we dont have to eat with our coats on. read more

Just had the $10 sausage sub and salad special. Wow just incredible! Best sausage sub I've ever had easily. It had a delicious cheese and green apple slaw on it and the bread tasted like it was just made. The salad was fresh and delicious greens with no sign of iceberg lettuce anywhere. I've had the chicken parm sub as well which was also excellent. Highly recommend this place. read more

Quick, inexpensive, and delicious! Surprisingly their gluten free pasta is even yummy. This place is my favorite!

Simply good casual Italian restaurant. Food is very fresh and tasty. Don't miss out on their $10 lunch special! Their happy hour $16 bottle of wine is also an incredible deal ! read more

I think that was the best delivery meal I've ever had. My expectations were pretty low, sure. Took less than an hour and all the food was tasty and fresh. The bread did not appear to have been anywhere near a microwave. Highly recommend the meatball sandwich! read more

Difrancos is a cute little Italian place in the Beauvallon building on Lincoln street. They make all of their food from scratch with all natural ingredients and even sell fresh sausages, pasta and sauces for you to take home. I got the meatball sandwich and it was delicious! Their iced tea is also unique and amazing. The inly downside is that's it's a little pricey, but I feel like it's worth it so I will definitely be coming back soon! read more

Food was beyond delicious. It was like your mom made you a fresh plate of food. meat was so well marinated and pasta was so light!I had the chicken cutlet and the fettucine. First time in Denver and I am so glad I found this cool place. Try the Boylan soda too, it's a colorado native soda company! Hands down this is the place to get an Italian dinner. read more

Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. Charlie walked us through the menu & suggested two amazing dishes as well as a bottle of wine. Every bite was better than the last. The ambiance, staff, food & drinks were amazing. Will definitely be back. read more

Great food, even better service. Small location, but a good amount of tables. Make a left into the parking lot for free garage parking.

Are you kidding me?? I can only imagine that's the kind of spaghetti & meatball they'll serve in heaven. My taste buds have never been happier. I can't wait to try every item on the menu! read more

The new lasagna on the seasonal menu is wonderful! It's super cheesy and pesto-y, and it just melts in your mouth. The spicy Italian sausage has a bit of a kick for it, so it might not be a good choice for sensitive palates, but it goes very well with everything else in the lasagna. read more

Just another opinion that if you want homemade pasta and sauce this is the place. You can also purchase pasta and sauces to take home and cook it yourself don't forget the homemade pastries for dessert you'll be glad you did read more

If this restaurant was near where I lived I would eat here every day! So good and the staff was great! I had the chicken parm sandwich and it was AWESOME! Also, i highly recommend the butternut squash ravioli! read more

This place is very tasty. Great staff and has a mom and pop feel to it. I would highly recommend it.

Delicious Italian food in a laidback setting. The kale caeser, chicken parm, and the green chili corn ravioli. Everything was delicious and the service exceptional. read more

Hands down the best Italian food in Denver! The food is prepared fresh and tastes absolutely amazing! Such a great addition to the Beauvallon! read more

SO FRESH! Difranco's has made me seriously reconsider my relationship with Italin food...we're serious now (insert heart emoticon here) I am a huge fan of the proscuttio and egg sandwich, and their ricotta cookies can and should be bought in quantities of 5 or more. Their butternut squash ravioli is just as good as the stuff I had in New York this summer :) read more
