So what can i say. This place is more that a restaurant. Its a community. Neighborhood kids working the floor, locals saying hello to each other, The food is very good and very well priced. But it's more. We went tonight after having to put one of our cats down. Sat at the bar. Had comforting conversations with the bartender and a local next to us. Fun happy felt so nice, Go have a wonderful time. read more

The restaurant is nice, however it is really really tight. Trying to get to my seat I was almost knocked over by one of the waitstaff trying to get around me. Where I was seated my back was up against the back of the person sitting behind me at a different table. At one point when part the waitstaff was clearing the table behind me, he had to grab my shoulder to balance himself. The food was good, my only complaint is it was very salty. I may give it another chance, but not anytime soon. read more

Worst service of all time. Hardly any check into the table food runners dropped off our food in our server pretty much never came back after taking our order. read more

Very charming little spot, appreciate that they let you call ahead to get on the waitlist! Pasta was good, and our server was lovely. The tables are definitely very close together, though, so bad news bears if you get seated next to a rowdy table read more

The food was very delicious and the pasta was fresh! We were seated on the outside area which was nice with the string lights :) My main qualm is that our food took a veeeery long time to be served. It was a pretty busy night but I feel like the length of time was still substantial. I do live close to the area so I'm looking forward to trying this place again and hopefully it will be a shorter wait for food! read more

Wonderfully quaint neighborhood restaurant in Park Hill. Very crowded during dinner hour, so it had a pretty good wait. Once in the service was ok - passable, but barely. read more

My wife and I met our niece here Sunday evening for dinner at 6 PM. This place was packed! Though we called ahead a half an hour to get on the waiting list, we still had to wait about 10 or 15 minutes before we were seated inside. Lovely place with a lot of character! We opened with adult beverages. And Negroni for me and blackberry Smash for my wife and niece. For a starter, we ordered their beef carpaccio. It was as delicious as it was picturesque! Very scrumptious! For our dinners, our niece ordered sautéed mushrooms and pasta, my wife their Puttanesca, and I their beef medallions. We also enjoyed a nice bottle of wine. It was a leisurely and enjoyable dinner time catching up with some really great food and a very eclectic and lovely place. The serving team was superb! Hope we are able to stop in sometime in the future again. read more

We arrived here on a rainy Sunday and were seated quickly with our party of 2. By the end of the night the skies had cleared and it was packed! Service was great, water was constantly refilled and food came out quickly. We enjoyed the eggplant polenta starter and my husband enjoyed the chicken parm and I the alfredo. We will definitely be back! read more

Always delicious and with perfect service. Thank you for presence! I want to each everything on the menu over time ;)

This is the kind of neighborhood restaurant we have to keep around if we want Denver to maintain some personality! The food was delicious, people all around me were talking and connecting, and the vibe is just what you want on a Friday night in a neighborhood joint! Highly recommend! read more

After taking a pleasant walk at the Christmas market We had dinner reservations at a highly acclaimed Italian restaurant in Denver. The Cherry Tomato didn't disappoint us. We had a pleasant dinner. The food was warm, delicious and with a lot of authentic Italian flavors. The service was 10/10, the waiters were so attentive and very friendly, the atmosphere in this place was phenomenal, feels like having dinner at home. It was our first time trying The Cherry Tomato and we will definitely come back next week. I totally recommend stop by for authentic Italian food. read more

4.5 stars! Fun and laid back atmosphere where kids can draw on the table clothes. The service was excellent and staff was extremely prompt on taking orders and clearing dishes. They had a few festive cocktails on their menu and an extensive wine list. The cocktail I got was delicious and perfectly balanced. The food was good but lacked a certain something. Overall, I would go back! read more

We've celebrated many special occasions at this quaint Italian spot inside an older building (The old park hill drugstore) on a cozy corner in Park Hill. Tonight was one such occasion. There were 7 of us and they seated us near the open back door and restroom. Hmmm. Not great, and I think it added to us feeling like we were shoved "out of the way". We had to throw our sweaters back on since it was an early spring windy night. A couple drink orders were forgotten about. It was busy, but we felt kinda ignored over other tables for sure. Food took around an hour to come out. They don't give out bread with olive oil like at some Italian restaurants. We also didn't get an appetizer, so maybe y'all wanna think about doing that if you mind an hour wait. The food was delicious though, as usual. We dined on a variety of menu selections at our table, and there were plenty of options for vegetarians. Wine list is impressive and no one who ordered wine was disappointed. We skipped dessert because we had been there long enough and it was late for us. Hopefully being ignored by our server was a rarity. She wasn't rude, she just hustled more with other guests. read more

Great neighborhood spot! Excellent Italian food and friendly service in a historic part of Denver.

We came back to this super cute family neighborhood Italian spot. It's kinda loud but still nicely intimate. The food menu is large, with a lot of vegetarian options. The service was slow but polite and unobtrusive. My water was always full! Unfortunately this was a good thing last night - I ordered the gnocchi with arrabiatta sauce. I know arrabiatta spicy and on their menus is described as "furious - bold and fiery"... but my god for if something is going to be THAT spicy they need to tell you. I couldn't even chew one gnocchi without my mouth exploding into a fiery pit of hell and not being able to concentrate it was so spicy. I should have sent it back but I hate wasting food. I forced myself to eat some of it. It wasn't great. On the plus side, my boyfriend loved his spaghetti bolognese, and the garlic bread app was tasty! 4 stars for original visit, ambiance, garlic bread Spicy sauce gets 0. I'd still come back though, which is why I'm averaging the review up to 4. read more

We came here on a Friday night. We joined the waitlist by calling in and still had to wait about 40 minutes once we got there the inside was warm so we selected to seat in the outside patio since it was a nice warm night. Our waiter was very friendly. The food took a little longer to come out, but it was, really well-made and super tasty. I got the award-winning lasagna and it was really good. My friend got the chicken parmigiana and I tasted it and it was also very good. The prices were ok. Very good dinner experience. read more

So yummy!! Exactly what we wanted in a local, neighborhood spot. The food was great & the ambiance was cozy. We'll be back!!

One of our favorite neighborhood restaurants in the Park Hill area, Cherry Tomato is a lovely go-to for fabulous Italian food. They also do great takeout if you're wanting an at-home meal, but I think it's definitely a worthwhile spot to visit. They've recently built out some patio space (since the indoor restaurant is often filled to the max). We always have great service and enjoy our meals here! Our favorite entrees: Pasta Felese (with artichokes, sundried tomotoes, chicken & creamy sauce), and the seafood fettucine "speciale". Both dishes are unique and so yummy. read more

It was a fantastic meal with good friends. It was a weeknight and I was happy to see the place so busy. Popular places usually mean what you are getting is great and it did not disappoint. Since they don't take reservations we waited a short while at the bar before a table large enough for our group of 5 was available. The staff were attentive without being pushy and made wonderful suggestions. Despite every table being full we were happy that this traditional layout Italian place wasn't too loud to interactive with those we came with. I had the lasagna and it was delicious and my martini was perfectly made. Thumbs way up for this neighborhood place. read more

We love the Cherry Tomato - such a warm & cozy atmosphere. The food is always so good & everyone who works there is so welcoming. It's a family favorite of ours' that we go to for special occasions because we know it will be a great night out. read more

Favorite restaurant. Exceptional every time and request to dine here every chance I get.

Been coming here since it's opening. Was great then and still is! Keep it up! Great food, great service, great ambiance

Cherry Tomato is my family's new favorite restaurant in Denver! The authentic character, personable staff and very inviting atmosphere makes you feel like you're enjoying a home cooked meal in a very cute environment. The family that runs the restaurants is amazing - very friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend Kyle's Riggies and the caramelized onion Gruyère ravioli read more

We lived in the neighborhood when this restaurant first opened and loved coming here. We wanted to bring our now adult son and his wife here for a special occasion and it was not how we remembered. The food was still wonderful; however, the service was unprofessional and unfortunately this impacted the dining experience which was disappointing. Please bring back the passion with knowledgeable and engaging servers...it does make an impact in the total dining experience. read more

We are in from out of town for a national soccer finals for my daughter. They served her a rancid steak. She had three bites and said it didn't taste right. My husband and I smelled it, it was putrid. There is no way they didn't smell the rotting steak when they cooked it. I pray she doesn't get food poisoning tonight. Will never go back and I will tell my family in Denver about the awful experience. read more

The Cherry Tomato was highly recommended by a few people within my network as a kind of hidden gem for Italian food so my girlfriend and I were stoked to check it out. Food: Overall, everything we had was very tasty with reasonable prices. The only complaint we had was that the main dishes we had (vegetable lasagna and risotto al funghi) were very salty. We do have more of a preference towards bland food though so the saltiness may be fine for the average American. Service: The service we received was immaculate! We never had an empty water glass or had to wait for much of anything. Great job staff! Ambiance: The restaurant is really cool with much of the historic aspects of the building left intact. We had a good time looking around the restaurant especially during our walk to the bathroom where there are a bunch of pictures and a map on the walls. read more

We had a lovely family dinner here the other night. Because they're always super busy and don't take reservations for small parties, and we have a toddler, we showed up when they open, at 5. We started with an order of garlic bread, which was fantastic. My old fashioned was also super yummy. My husband had the meat lasagna- so good!! I had the eggplant parmigiana with a side of pasta. I thought my eggplant was delicious but the spaghetti was way too garlicky for me. However, it ended up being the only thing my son would eat besides the bread, so it worked out perfectly. read more

Very cute neighborhood spot. Great outdoor seating and our waiter was very personable and kind. Amazing garlic bread and marinara. The veggie lasagna only had 4 small pieces of vegetables which was disappointing. Don't get me started on the congealed cheese on a top. The green chile cheese ravioli was excellent however, and was a great portion size for a ravioli plate (10 ravioli(s)). read more

This place does not disappoint! We've had excellent service, food and drinks. I've been twice with my family in the past few months and I got the carbonara both times. I couldn't help it! It was too good to pass up a second time. Everyone enjoyed their meal and we can't wait for our next celebration so we can go back! read more

One of my son-in-laws favorite places. It is a small place so get a reservation. It appears to be a good place for families as well as date night. Our service was good and folks were very friendly esp accommodating a toddler in our party. Food was very good but not great. I ordered chicken piccata and again it was good but honestly my husband makes better. My husband got the mushroom risotto and asked for scallops with it. He was disappointed they were little bay scallops but he still enjoyed it. I will say they had good cheese garlic bread but it was not made the typical way with tons of cheese. It was more subtle but the flavor was great. One thing that does need to improve is their restrooms. The toilets seemed clean enough but decorative stuff and furniture haven't been cleaned in at least a decade. I'm going to sneeze just thinking about it. read more

Location is understated but the food was delicious! It would have 5 of the garlic bread was better... their garlic bread was similar to the one my son makes at home with his grandmother.... Sub roll with butter and garlic pan seared and cut up. But the dinner was delicious especially for the price! read more

Our go-to family Italian restaurant. Great pasta and mains --try the new-to-the-menu chicken riggies or the chicken parm. I also love the rotating ravioli specials. Kids love it too! read more

Went in 5:15 Saturday, November 1st. Slow service, sat for 30 minutes just waiting for wine. Our entree's served before salad, pasta portions were very small compared to previous times we visited. What has happened to this place? Used to be top notch...really wasn't busy but server said Sous-Chef was behind... read more
