Went here for the first time tonight. The food was pretty good but what was amazing was the ambiance and the people! The busser's name is Monica. And she is just a little ray of sunshine! Just a delightful human being! We gave her hugs on the way out! Will go back Edit: went here a second time for my 50th birthday. It was just what I needed. The same folks helped us and they were delightful again. The aforementioned Monica was super sweet again. Then was telling a customer down the way that we were celebrating my birthday and this lady got up from her table and came and sang me a birthday song! One I had never heard before. It was so sweet! Thank you Gretchen! What a wonderful little place! read more

Wow, what a treat. We've been in the area for a little over a year now. And until now haven't found our go to Italian joint. Absolutely everything from FROM start to finish was amazing. The quality and authenticity of this food is surpassed by none. Hidden amongst a strip mall you'll find walking in an absolute Old School Italian vibe with a modern decor flare. Our party of three ordered lasagna, chicken, Parm, and farfalle Bolognese. Asking us which one was her favorite is like trying to pick your favorite child. One of the best blue cheese dressings we've had since coming to Colorado, the bread was fresh very light and tasty. A server, owner, and even the busser were so very friendly, engaging and helpful. We cannot wait to get back and try new things and some soon to be old Favorite. read more

Incredible food and a classic, homey vibe. Can't wait to go back again and again and again.

Had a wonderful dinner at Sano's last night. Kim was our waitress and we arrived at 5:30 on a Saturday nite. Would highly recommend that time as it got progressively busy thereafter. Food was delicious and plentiful. Will definitely return. Enjoyed sausage/peppers appetizer with garlic bread. Chicken Parm was great. But Eggplant was superb! They've been there 12 years and embarrassed to say my first time there ! But wont be the last.... read more

This is the first place my wife and went when we moved here. We have taken family here a handful of times when they come to visit and it doesn't disappoint. Great local owned place the menu isn't the biggest but they let you mix and match most of everything. The service is great, food is great, but the prices seem a bit high for what you get. Tip. I would always call ahead and make a reservation since they ask if he had a reservation Everytime, a few hours would be great but as you leave your house also works most times read more

I came here with friends; they said they loved the ambiance. The service is very friendly and welcoming, and they clearly remembered my friends and were happy to see them. I loved the cheese bread appetizer and house soup. My farfalle bolognese was delicious, and everyone enjoyed their main dishes. My only complaint was dessert. I ordered chocolate cake. The texture was nice, but there was an unlisted ingredient: coconut. It's one of few things I can't stand. Now in my case, I just really hate it, but suppose I was allergic? Please list these things on your menu! It's not an expected ingredient. Other than that, it was a lovely experience and I would return. I just hope they would have more complete descriptions. read more

This is a delightful hole in the wall. It was hands down the best tiramisu I've had in my entire life, great food and wine as well!

My wife and I went to Sano's on New Year's Eve. Everything was great. We loved our dinners and the staff was so good. They were very attentive and checked regularly to see if we had any problems or needed to order anything else. The atmosphere was warm and inviting and even the other patrons were friendly. This is just the perfect place to get excellent Italian food. read more

Wow, where have you been? Why could I not find this morsel a decade ago? This place is old school Italian and reminds of the old north Denver powerhouses I grew up dining with! It's like an old friend. The ambiance is on point and the food was more than on point. The service was warm and generous! Will be returning this weekend. What a treat this find is!! read more

Started out a little rough with the host not wanting to seat us because we did not have a reservation. Things got better when our waitress Kim waited on us. She was very professional and will be the reason we come back. The lasagna and chicken special were amazing. read more

Always delicious! A favorite place to unwind and enjoy a great meal and friendly, efficient service!

Traditional Italian just like Grandma used to make. 'Old-school north Denver' vibes. Very generous portions and detailed service. Worth it!

Wow! Our first time here and the food was wonderful. My boyfriend loved to cook and is quite a foodie and he said he will definitely be coming be back. read more

Sano's is classic Italian dining. Not fancy nouveau Mediterranean trendy stuff -- nothing on the menu that wouldn't have seen twenty, thirty, fifty years ago. And they do it rock-solid *well*. Good ingredients, good recipes. Also, friendly, attentive service, and very reasonable prices. Will definitely return if the opportunity presents. read more

We love the feel of this small business. The food is delish too! Recommend for special occasions or just good Italian read more

Sano's is my favorite local place for Italian food. I usually get their lasagne and cheese bread is a must. We invariably bring home another meal, just from leftovers. The tiramisu may be the best I've ever eaten. The atmosphere is intimate with an old-school Italian vibe. Think Frank Sinatra and family, excellent service. Casual attire is acceptable but I almost always wear a sport coat, just because it feels right in such a nice place. Credit cards are accepted but I use cash as it saves these little family owned places money on the high fees they get charged by credit card companies. Families will feel comfortable here and it's also a great place for dates. read more

I had wanted to try this restaurant. We had a wonderful Italian restaurant in Dallas that we adored and hadn't found that here. Tonight we tried it and loved it so much we bought a container of sauce home. Spectacular polenta, chicken parm, spaghetti. We will be back. My new favorite. Thankfully we live close. read more

I am giving two stars for service only. The food was ok Italian, nothing special. Ambiance is "dark old school" not in a good way. However, their was a discrepancy between the check and actual invoice, being $5 more. After talking to the owner, he stated this is a "surcharge" to their expensive soso food, because of pandemic- which is over. He said because of the pandemic (which is over). He stated there is a "sign" on his entrance to explain. No sign, we looked. Also, I noted to him, he is just hurting his server's tips...literally told me "I don't care". read more

Great neighborhood Italian spot! We just moved to the area and found this place on yelp. From the outside entrance it doesn't look like much, but inside is a cute Italian bistro. The staff was all very welcoming to us and our food was delicious! We will definitely be back! read more

Outstanding meal at Sano's tonight. Authentic Italian food and ambiance that reminded me of the little Italian joints I grew up dining at on Long Island, NY. Fantastic red sauce, delicate eggplant in a perfectly baked dish. Lasagna that filled you up and tasted delicious - perfect portion. Try the sautéed mushrooms and ask for extra bread to sop up the delicious herbed sauce. Save room for dessert and cappuccino. The staff was so friendly, attentive and made us feel welcome, like we were regulars even though it was our first time in. If you like a good Italian meal, go go go!!!!!!!!!! read more

A fabulous find! One of our favorite places! Cozy and personal. Food is thoughtfully prepared and served with style. The owners are present to attend to the patrons. Well decorated dining area and some classy music....add a glass of wine, relax and anticipate the goodness to come. A very special place indeed. Take someone you love and enjoy! read more

We just stumbled on the gem. As someone who love Italian food, and has traveled to Italy many times, this family restaurant is absolutely legit. Love the food and the family atmosphere. So glad we found this right in the middle of our new community. read more

Tony and Terry are great hosts! Our waiter and runner provide excellent service. The prices are still very reasonable. The food is tasty. the cheesy bread is a superb starter. - the 4% upcharge for using a credit card is annoying. read more

We have lived just don't the street from this restaurant for 1 1/2 years now and feel sad that we had not been here sooner. This is a REAL Italian restaurant. From the moment you walk through the door you know that it's going to be good. The host, wait staff and even the owner made us feel at home. We started off with Italian Margaritas, ya I know, just get it. We the ate our salads and cheese bread while listening to beautiful music at a volume that we could still carry on a conversation. Then our entrees came. From the first bit to the last was amazing. The sauce. You could taste the generations of cooking in the sauce. It was perfect. I could keep on going but you are just going to have come experience for yourself. read more

I was here for the first time last week and was pleasantly surprised. For months I had been wanting fresh manicotti and could not find it. I'm pleased to say that Sano's does it right. The restaurant is warm and the staff is friendly and I felt at home right away. I had a glass of Chianti and a salad along with my manicotti and everything was terrific. read more

Sano's Italian Kitchen - Menu Jan 2020 - Italian Near Me - Westminster, Colorado

Food over priced for basic pasta dishes that weren't great, will not go back. What caught my eye was the menu online looked good and possibly quality flavors due to the high prices menu ( not the case at all) Other reviews mentioned seating wasn't good, listen to the reviews because you are right in your neighbors conversation the whole dinner time! The people next to us were listening to our personal conversations and They even chimed in a few times so it was awkward! read more

We had no plans for dinner so decided to try Sano's. It was awesome. We didn't have reservations and being a Saturday night we had to wait. No problem. We waited. It was funny, it was like eating at your friends house. Everyone knew everyone. Except for us. We were the newbys. We got a couple of glasses of Prosecco while we waited. It was slow going once we got our table but that helped us relax. We shared a caprese salad and then they brought the menus. I got the Manicotti and my husband got the chicken Parmigiana. If you are in a hurry, this is not the place for you. The food was fantastic. We met the people sitting next to us and had a great conversation with them. The restaurant was full of conversation and people who were out to enjoy their night out. The experience was awesome. My manicottii was delicious as well as the chicken parm with enough to take home and they even served Spumoni ( Italian I've cream) chocolate, cherry and pistachio. YUM, my favorite! I give it a 5 out of 5. It was a great night out. Ps. Credit cards are accepted but there is a surcharge for the use. Enjoy read more

-The decor is good and made me remember when I was dining on the streets in Rome. The only issue is when it's not busy and only a couple of groups you are literally in everyone's conversations. When it did get busy it was a better feel. 3 stars. -The service was amazing always had what we needed and never an empty drink! 5 starts. -The cheese bread starter was good but the normal bread that comes with the salad was equally as good. 3 stars. -The salad tasted like it was out of a bag (I know that's how lettuce comes in but give it a rinse and a spin at least). 1 stars. -The main course we had the fettuccine Alfredo and the special which was the half chicken on a bed of pasta. The chicken was perfect 5! But the fettuccine Alfredo was lacking. 4 stars. -The desert we wanted was a tiramisu but they were all out. So we had a lemon tort and it was very good. 3 Stars. Overall-Service was great. Food was good but knowing the family story and the price I was expecting more. When I do come back I will stick to the classic they are known for something with the AMAZING marinara they have. read more
