    Clams aglio e olio
    Jocelynn K.

    Amazing! We really enjoyed our meal here and plan to return soon. The restaurant itself has a fun ambience and is decorated with pictures from their mob history. Each of the dishes we tried were delicious. -clams aglio e olio: the clams were fresh and plentiful, and the sauce had just enough red pepper to add a kick without being overpowering. -lobster ravioli: the vodka sauce on this dish was incredible. The pesto made it a touch oily, and I would probably order the dish without it in the future. The shrimp were also cooked very well and were large. -chicken Parmesan: the chicken cutlet was huge and perfectly crispy. The pasta on the side, however, was cold as if it had been pulled from the fridge (actually cold, not just room temperature). When we told our server, he took it to the kitchen to reheat quickly. The flavors of the dish were great though. -bread basket: the addition of the focaccia was unique. It had a good flavor but was pretty dry. The service was fast, and our food didn't take too long to come out even though it was busy. I would definitely recommend a reservation during the weekends, as they were completely full during most of our visit.

    Limoncello Cream Cake

    Wow wow wow. Not my first time here- but it has been about two years since I have been. The last time, was not great so I went in having mid-expectations. I was so blown away that I asked our waiter if the kitchen staff had changed. Even the bread tasted different- in a phenomenal way. We shared the antipasto chopped salad- ALSO PHENOMENAL - I had the bolognese- had a kick to it but was GREAT (I'll change my adjective) My sister had the lobster ravioli, my mom had the chicken mala(no clue how to spell) and my dad the eggplant parm- my god. Each tasted better than the next. I won't leave the desert out! The tiramisu & the limoncello cream cake was spectacular! It was crowded and loud but honestly- that was part of the entire experience. Very Italian!!!! Will be back, much sooner this time!

    We went a for my brother's birthday. We all don't live to far and had heard great things. I am so glad we finally made a reservation. The portions are large, the food and restaurant is hot, and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. We got the Shinto peppers as an appetizer, they were as expected and no surprise spicy one. They brought us a basket of bread that was delicious but don't fill up on the bread. Because the lobster ravioli was delicious. It'll the sauce was light, paring well with the freshly made pasta. It was surrounded by large juicy shrimp. My husband got the bolognese which our waiter warmed us that "if you don't mind a little spice" you will enjoy it. My husband thoroughly enjoyed it - he cleaned the plate. My brother got the fettuccine and said it was good but not the best he has ever had. Because we were there to celebrate a birthday they brought us a tiramisu which was "chefs kiss"! We all decided we would got back to try a few other dishes that caught our eyes.

    Empty tables, won't be sat. Our table can can be seen in the far back.

    Been looking forward to visiting here with my family, made a reservation days in advance to prepare. We had 5 guests and reserved a spot at 7:15. We arrived on time, meaning a little before our time and the front was packed with patrons, no where to sit while we wait. We waited 15 min to be seated for our reservation when our table was open the whole time. There was also a point when there were three two tops next to eachother that were open and could have been made into a larger table as well. I asked when we will be seated and hostess said we have to wait for the reservation before us to be seated? Meanwhile the table we were sat at was open the whole time, this logic does not make sense to me as I was a hostess before. We got sat and the service was slow, the waitress took another 10 min before asking our drink order. The food and drinks were great but service was not the best. Also my menu was dirty and I would think a fancy establishment would have the hosts clean the menus while they're standing there or not reuse them. All in all I would go back again but maybe with the mindset that service will be slow.

    Food was amazing. Service was amazing. 10/10. Burrata was amazing. Chicken parm was amazing. Just yummm! Will be back!

    Bolognese

    We went during the lunch menu time. All the food was pretty good. Drinks too. I really liked the look of the place. Very cool inside. I thought it was a little expensive for the quality of the food. It was all good but I would have expected a little more for the price. They were also a bit understaffed. It took 10 min to get a table cleaned just because of not having enough servers. GF substitutions/options available. I would come back again if I were in the area.

    Chicken Parmigiana

    Wow what a lucky find. I'm from Scottsdale in for work and Gaetanos popped up on my Facebook. Well everything about this restaurant was well documented. The ambiance was old school and I love old school. The chicken parm was amazing and huge! Loved every bite. Service was on par. I'll be back!

    Wow! I had an amazing dinner here with a friend recently. Our reservation was at 515, we showed up around 5 and there was literally a line down the street of people waiting for them to open. We got in quickly and were seated right away thankfully. The server let us know the specials and then brought us our drinks. The bartender here knows how to make a great martini, and they have blue cheese olives, my favorite! I'm not kidding when I say I think the Bruschetta here is the best I have ever had. The pasta and salad were amazing as well. I also love the old school Italian restaurant ambience they have going on, makes me feel like I'm in NYC. Definitely recommend, make sure to make a reservation though!

    Creamy Gorgonzola and Rigatoni
    Bryanna J.

    We had a wonderful dinner at Gaetano's! It's a cool, mobster themed restaurant with a chatty ambiance. Our server, Andrew, was great, very attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and an overall nice guy to chat with. Our meal was delicious. We ordered the shrimp de jonghe for an appetizer and it was soo good. I recommend dipping the bread in! Then we each had pasta dinners, the creamy Gorgonzola was our favorite. We also got tiramisu for dessert and it was just a perfect ending to our night. Definitely recommend for some yummy Italian food!

    Gnocchi Salsicia & Funghi

    the food was amazing !! we ordered 4 appetizers, entrees & dessert, it was all so good! BUT i can only give 3 stars because the service was atrocious. it ruined our entire dining experience. we had to ask our waiter for everything, from small plates to share the appetizers, more water, & forgotten beverages. at a point, our waiter tossed our dessert forks on the table instead of handing them to us individually or placing them at one end of the table. our party is truly disappointed with the way we were served, i wouldn't come back because of it. don't know if it was just our waiter or the usual standard.

    We had a friend come in from out of town and another friend recommended this Italian restaurant. We gave it a try for lunch. I loved the ambience. From the photos to the seating to the big beautiful shotgun bar, it's just welcoming and delightful. We had meatballs and cheesy bread, meatball sub, sausage and peppers sandwich, minestrone soup, and a epically hellacious wedge salad. The food was very good. Of the things we tried, my fave was the rich and robust red sauce. I loved it Our server was well educated on the menu and guided us well. Everything was a hit. We will definitely go back. We are currently on a waitlist for a reservation for Valentine's Day dinner. In my experience, this restaurant is underrated.. they could have made changes. But for me, this is the real deal.

    My boyfriend and I decided to try this place and it is my new favorite Italian restaurant, possibly favorite new restaurant period! The restaurant is gorgeous and fun! I loved the wall art and classic booths! We had mussels to start and which were delicious! I had the mushroom Gorgonzola rigatoni with gnocchi and it was absolutely fantastic! The house made bread was insanely great and definitely a must for dipping in the delicious sauce! Our waiter Briggs was phenomenal! He suggested the perfect wine and food! He was excited to share about the food and restaurant and definitely set a great night over the top with his hospitality! I cannot wait to go back!

    Is there a way to make online reservations? The website reservation link takes one to Yelp. The restaurant link on Yelp takes one back to the home page reservation link, which again, takes one back to Yelp.

    Yes. They are on Open Table.

    Is a reservation necessary or is it reasonably easy to get in without one?

    Every time I've eaten there, it was a packed house so I would highly recommend making a reservation.

Bedlam was recommended to us for late night drinks by staff working in one of the restaurants at our hotel. During our short stay in Denver, we went to Bedlam twice. The first time was around 11:30 on a Thursday night. We had a few cocktails along with a cheese and charcuterie plate. The second time was around 12:30 on a Saturday night when we came in for a night cap. The first time we came in, it wasn't too busy, and we were encouraged to sit wherever we wanted. The bar was full so we chose a small table. Our server gave us menus, though specials were written on a chalkboard above the bar. We each tired a couple of cocktails and had a shot called the Master Shot. We also chose the make-your-own charcuterie board. Our favorite drink was the Woo Girl, which allowed us to choose our spirit of choice. I chose gin and my friend chose tequila. When we returned a couple of nights later, we knew already we were going to order the Woo Girl cocktail. It was packed on a Saturday night, but there was a small table in back where they seated us. This bar is more for spending time with the friends you come with, rather than mingling, as staff seats you at a table. It doesn't seem like they offer standing room or just squeezing in, though maybe we just didn't experience that. That said, all in all, I really enjoyed Bedlam and recommend it to anyone going to Denver.

My friends and I tried a number of the signature cocktails and had a few hot toddys that were super good. I'm personally a big gin and soda fan and loved ther housemade tonic that was in their classic G&T. Did not try any of the food but the dawgs were definitely would be tempting if I was hungry. Loved the decor and the plants all up in the space. The space is a bit more dimly lit and I think of a reasonable volume for a date. Would love to come back and spend some more time here.

That's when I came across Dearly Departed and I'm so glad I did. We arrived right when they opened at 5pm and were able to walk in and be seated immediately. The speakeasy is tucked into the underground portion of the restaurant, which adds to the charm. The space is beautifully decorated, moody, intimate, and effortlessly upscale. It truly sets the tone the moment you walk down. We ordered two spritzes and a charcuterie board, and both exceeded expectations. The drinks were refreshing, perfectly balanced, and felt elevated without being overcomplicated. But the real star was the charcuterie board. For $20, it was an incredible value, stacked with a variety of meats, cheeses, fresh veggies, nuts, and peppers. The freshly grilled bread was a standout touch, and the portions were more than generous. Every bite felt thoughtfully curated, and there was something new and delicious in every corner of the board. Between the ambiance, the quality of the drinks, and the impressive food, Dearly Departed delivered an experience that felt both cozy and refined. I'd absolutely recommend checking it out for the atmosphere alone. I'm already looking forward to going back and trying more from their menu.

Cozy spot for some classy bites and cocktails. I think I probably got off on the wrong foot when I asked for sparkling water instead of flat and found out it was $7 per personal mini bottle (and they don't have club soda). My first time encountering that in Denver in the last 14 years... The cocktail concept is cool: pick a classic, slightly updated, or super creative version from 5 categories (martini, old fashioned, sour, spritz, highball). The spicy mango sour (with mezcal) was awesome -- although I expected egg white on a sour. The martinis were ok... a bit of a let-down in today's collection of Denver martinis at other local spots (think anchovy, sour cream and onion, holy trinity, and old bay). The food was also hit or miss. We loved the cauliflower/potato Bravas with the slightly spicy sauce, as well as the croquettes and their sauce. The tuna crudo was super bland, which is disappointing for $19.
