    Their awesome ice cream sundae with homemade wine sauce! It's to die for!

    We've now eaten here twice and it's the BEST Italian I've had ever! We will definitely be back again and again! Everything is amazing and homemade!

    Wow! I had been wanting to try this place for so long, tonight was the night and Mama Louise did not disappoint! Amir was our server and he was delightful and attentive. Kent, the owner was present and involved, very nice. I ordered the homemade spaghetti and sausage and I've never tasted sauce so delicious, seriously the best I've ever had. I don't know how they make it taste so fresh and delicious without being acidic or too sweet, I will be craving it! The noodles were so fresh and light, not gummy at all. The garlic knots were soft and delicious, perfect flavor and texture. I had the Chianti Classico with my dinner, it was great. The only thing I would change is the calamari, a lighter batter would serve it well. I will definitely be back! Thanks guys :)

    Had a fantastic meal at Mama Louise two weeks ago when me and my brothers and sister went to Denver for the Rolling Stones concert. The food was just as fantastic as it's ever been. Me and my late husband used to go to Mama Louise years ago when we lived in Denver. We lived in Thornton and would drive 40 miles just to eat at Mama Louise. My brothers had the Shrimp Alfredo and me and my sister split the Lasagna. The lasagna was a bit l spicy flavor which made it really unique. The red sauce was good not too tomatoey, just the right flavor. My two brothers were very happy with their meal as well I tried it and it was delicious creamy Alfredo sauce and the shrimp wasn't rubbery perfectly cooked. We had the tiramisu for dessert and it was fantastic! I stopped and talked to the owner Ken. He was always very kind to us and I told him I was really happy to be able to eat at Mama Louise after all these years. The ambiance is a very quaint Italian theme. The next time I have to be in Denver I will definitely be eating at Mama Louise.

    Came here for one last dinner with my friend before heading to the airport. I ordered my favorite,…read morethe Linguine alle Vingole... Linguine clams in a delectable garlic sauce. It is my go-to order at any Maggiano's I visit. My friend ordered the Branzino Crab Imperial. I noticed that the bread was a little different than other Maggiano's restaurants I've been to. Normally, I'm served a generous portion of Italian bread before the meal. However, here they serve some sort of buttered rolls with pinch of flaky salt on top. Absolutely nothing wrong with that, as the bread was delicious. It's just a little different than what I've encountered at other Maggiano's restaurants. This dinner might have been the only time the two of us were quiet during my entire trip to Colorado because the food was really good! My only complaint is that my dish was a little bit bland. It's always been seasoned a bit better at other Maggiano's locations that I've visited... But it wasn't enough to keep me from ever ordering it again. Our server was very good and really attentive to our needs. I also appreciate how sturdy the to-go box was because decided to take my leftovers with me to the airport. The bag and container got a little beat up during the security screening but because they container was so sturdy, there was minimal spillage.

The food and service didn't make it special at all.... The drinks came out very slowly and was told that the bar is behind...so behind that wine requested at the beginning of the meal, came out during the main meal. Dishes came out wrong, yes, they brought out the wrong food. Dishes were sent back more than once, pasta was undercooked multiple times. It was so chaotic and absurd, that it just kept on going and going. To have one mishap...ok, but for it to happen over and over again. Couldn't even get an espresso right. The bathroom was beat up and the door going into the restroom was so loud, I thought it was going to fall off. The booth was falling apart as well. It wasn't busy with less than a fourth of the restaurant occupied. Sadly the decades of going to both locations, WE WILL NEVER BE BACK!

    We lived in Colorado for 18 years and moved out of state over the summer. During our time in…read moreColorado, we were always so pleased by the food prepared and served at C'Amore. Tonight, three months after leaving the state, I had a chance to dine in while visiting family. As always, the calamari was spot on and we enjoyed chicken Parmesan, a calzone and tiramisu. However, I have to add some comments about an event we witnessed tonight, which is a testament to the professionalism of the staff. A couple came in to pick up their take out order. They were informed that the bread wasn't ready. Customers don't pay for bread that is automatically brought out for anyone eating an entree. The couple acted confused. Said the bread wasn't on their receipt and they wanted to be comped a dessert! The staff repeated that the bread is free with meals, so it never appears on receipts and they'd just need to wait until it was done baking. They complained that their food would get cold (waiting 2 minutes for free bread) and that's why they deserved more...like a free dessert. The stupidity and entitlement of these people! The staff never said an unkind word. It occurred to me after witnessing this that most people, if they enjoy a restaurant, just keep giving our business....but we don't normally write reviews. Like, I may be guilty of this. I enjoy something and I write nothing. However, if an experience is perceived as negative, we are quicker to write about it. I just could not believe this couple wanting free dessert or whatever because bread that they didn't pay extra for wasn't ready when they came for their take out order. How do mom and pop businesses even survive when the profit margin is so slim in the current economy? C'Amore is a great local restaurant for a date night or a family outing. Period.

We kicked things off with garlic knots and they were fantastic. Crispy on the outside, warm, fluffy, and drenched in garlic butter and topped with parmesan. For my entrée, I went with Nana's chicken parmesan. The chicken breast was perfectly cooked, topped with fresh mozzarella and served with a bright, flavorful house pomodoro. The linguini and seasonal vegetables made it a well-balanced and satisfying plate. My wife ordered the pappardelle bolognese and it was outstanding. The sauce was rich and hearty, made with sausage and Colorado ground chuck, paired perfectly with the wide pappardelle pasta. Finished with parmesan, it tasted like something straight out of a family kitchen. The kids had buttered pasta and surprisingly the portions were the same size as a regular entree. Finished with some vanilla gelato, Oreo ice cream and bread pudding. Amazing! Excellent food, generous portions, and a welcoming atmosphere. Nonna's lives up to its name and is a place we'll happily return to.

The pasta tasted home made. I also tried a little of my friends chicken Marsala and it was also good. Prices were very reasonable around $30 per plate. All in all a very pleasant experience.

She decided to try the rigatoni, while I had the rosemary chicken. Both dishes were fine, if not particularly overwhelming or impressive. She thought she'd go back to the pizza if we returned again. The bread that comes with the dinners (and is available as an appetizer) resembles more of an Indian naan than an Italian bread. But at least the flavor was good. Like the food, service was fine for the most part. A little slow at the start, but around when we needed it. Food came out fast at least. Overall, I'll say everything here was fine. Not blown away by really any of it, but also nothing earth shattering that would keep us from coming back if we were in the area and hungry. That said, with lots of Italian/pizza places in the area, we probably wouldn't make a special trip to drive here.

We were immediately sat on the patio around 5:45 PM. We were greeted and given "welcome bubbles". What a nice touch. After about 5 minutes, we were finally given menus. Other people were sat around us, so we waited to ask for the happy hour menu. We ordered the chef's choice charcuterie, a cocktail, and a glass of wine. The drinks and board were yum, but not quite a wine bar as there were very limited option by the glass. Also, we had to ask for plates and silverware where this is a basic item. While deciding on dinner, we were approached a couple times by the 2 servers in the section. One was friendly, the other, not so much, rather indifferent and made us feel a little uncomfortable and not very welcome. This kind of set the tone for the rest of our night. We ordered the "family share" chateaubriand. We realize this is an expensive cut, but the portion is definitely not a sharing cut, around 4 oz. It is closer to a single entree. When it arrived, the plate was cold, like the meat was lukewarm and the cauliflower was ice cold. Again, we had to ask for silverware and plates for this "family style shareable" plate. We brought the cauliflower temperature up with the server and got new cauliflower after we were done with the rest of the meal. Also, I sat with an empty wine glass and no one stopped to ask if I needed another glass. When the servers did stop by, it was a short interaction and we never even had a chance to ask before they were already walking away. We saw so many people come in and out that they must be doing something right, but for us, our experience was mediocre. If our meal would have been the correct temperature (it was well prepared, just cold) and better execution on the service, we may have had a better experience.

One of the staff (blonde girl) walks up to th me stand, puts menus in the holder, and walks away. No greeting, no eye contact, nada! About 3 minutes later, another member of staff (male) says someone will be right with me. After a couple more minutes, I am asked if I want to sit at the bar or a table. I chose table (I wanted a pizza and the room to spread out) and off we go. This may have been my downfall... So I am sat down and the male staff member gives me a menu and says my server will be right over. She comes over from behind the bar (blonde girl from before) and is super friendly, explaining the menu and takes my drink order. She the comes back with my beer, along with a flyer with a QR code for me to sign up for their loyalty program (I will then get $10 off my first order). I figure that's a good deal and after she takes my food order (2 small "Detroiter Pizza" for $10 a pie, as it is "313" day (March 13th)), I download the app and sign up. Here is where the really frustrating part comes up. I sit a and wait over 35 minutes for my pizza to arrive. Now there was food presented to me multiple times during my wait, but it wasn't my order (cheese pizza paraded around to multiple tables). I finally am brought my to-go pizza (I had ordered 2 smalls - 1 to eat there, 1 for takeaway), but waited another 15 minutes for my actual meal. During this time, no one comes by to check on my table or ask if I need anything (beer glass has been empty for 10 minutes). The male staff member asks multiple tables around me if all was good and if they need anything, but suspiciously skips asking me. So I finally just call out to him and ask if my pizza is still coming out or not. To the actual pizza.... It was FANTASTIC (which makes me leaving this 1 star review hard). I thoroughly enjoyed the crust, the cheese, and the sauce on top and even with all the issues already laid out, I'd thought I would likely return. But... here is why I will not. When I checked my banking app earlier today, I have 2 charges from Via 313. The first charge is what I signed for via their mobile device that was brought to my table, but the second is for $18 and change and I have no idea what that is about? With this many cock-ups and shady charges, I simply cannot recommend Via 313!
