Grammy’s Goodies

First time trying this place and was not disappointed! They brought out these massive garlic knots as courtesy since we were new customers and their pizza slices were generous in size, hence why I had to cut it lol We also got their mozzarella sticks as they've been viral for the cheese pull - bomb! The prices are more than fair for the portion sizes and they had tons of different sweets that are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth (also big portions)! The staff was very attentive and their seating area was prepped with a warm overhead heater though it was outside "tent style". There's so many options here, we plan on making this a frequent stop so we can try everything!

I have been wanting to come and visit this restaurant for the longest time! Today was the day and I will definitely be returning. We had a table of two for lunch with a steak sandwich and a chicken Parmesan sandwich, we had the garlic knots, which are the size of a fist and the fried mozzarella! It was so delicious and we got desserts to go. I don’t know how anybody could pass up the giant cream puff.

For starters the service was amazing! The food was delicious and homemade! Everything was made fresh! The garlic knots are insane in size and taste. I would've preferred more galic/butter for mine but I like heavy flavoring. I got the lasagna and my husband got the spicy rigatoni w/ chicken. The lasagna was quite tastey, although a little heavy on the ricotta for me. The spicy rigatoni was delicious we could've used more protein but thats our preference. Otherwise everything was delicious! Make sure you grab some homemade sweet treats while your there also!

This place was the best!! From being greeted by Grammy like we were family to enjoying unforgettable food, it’s a true 10 out of 10. The garlic knots set the standard for garlic knots—crispy on the outside, perfectly soft in the middle, not overly garlicky, with just the right amount of butter. The marinara was spot on. The lasagna was top quality, tasting like it came straight out of an Italian grandmother’s kitchen. We’re 8 hours away, and I’d gladly make the drive just to eat here again. Thank you for a wonderful dinner—we’ll be back soon!

The whole experience here was so welcoming. We got the lasagna and shrimp Alfredo with some cookies and cannolis. The line went pretty fast and we were served our food promptly. The garlic knots were freshly baked and a generous portion. We’d definitely come back.

I love this place. It highlights everything about the way food should be done; indulgent portions, good people, good prices, and celebrating heritage and culture. My wife and I love the chocolate cake so much we actually ended up getting multiple for our wedding. One cake fed about 50 guests. Eat local!

Saw restaurant on Facebook and photos were mouthwatering. Today I was not to far away and decided to try it for lunch. Everything I tried was amazing. We will definitely make the trip from centennial again in the near future. Peppers and sausage sandwiche Italian grilled cheese with beet salad Garlic knots Cannoli Key lime pie GIANT creampuff

Got some yummy sweets here tonight! Such a charming cute place and the menu for food looks amazing! I can’t wait to go back for a meal. We got a cannoli, custard cake slice, and some shortbread cookies. I highly recommend the shortbread cookies but everything was sooo delicious. Staff was super friendly as well

Celebrating my husband's birthday is always fun as we seem to be out of town every year. This year was no different as we were in Colorado. He had his mind set on trying out this place seen on DD&D's. You just never know what you will find and WOW did this place impress for good old comforting Italian food. Family owned and operated which I love and respect. This business was started back in 2005 as the family participated in the Festival Italiano at Belmar. Ten years later the family opened a restaurant and Colorado loves it! It is always a pleasure to see a business crowded when you arrive and this place was no different. When we walked in, we got in line to order. Once they realized we were dining in, they asked us to find a table and they would come to take our order. Interior is cafe style nothing fancy but the smells coming out of the kitchen will make your mouth water. A very pleasant Joey Lynn arrived and dialed us in on the goods. We had to try their famous lasagna, salad and their garlic knots. Did I say garlic knots?? These knots were the size of large muffins. Huge and every single bite was a taste of heaven. The lasagna was absolutely as savory and delicious as Guy F. said it was. This is a very old recipe from the owners Mother as most of the other recipes are hers as well. The lasagna was big enough for us to share and still have some left over for lunch. They offer so much more than lasagna. Sandwiches, pizza with their homemade dough, Italian sausage and peppers, chicken parmigiana, fettuccine Alfredo and the menu goes on and on. So many desirable treats are offered for dessert but believe me we were just too full. Parking is a very small lot so you will must likely be parking on the street. We will definitely be back for more of their flavorful food.

Homegrown Italian eats, impressive portions! My partner and I checked this spot out for a post-work dinner and holy cow! I get why Guy Fieri stopped by. The portions are MASSIVE, I'm talking garlic knots the size of your head. Additionally, when we dined there they gave us the garlic knots for free because it was our first time, overall a generous business! The interior is more casual, but that's not the reason to go to this spot, the flavors are THERE. I'm also curious to see what their patio will be like when they're able to open it, as when we dined it was under construction. Another highlight of our experience was the pastries. My Sicilian partner drooled over the rainbow cookies and was very happy. We will definitely be returning!!

On Friday, June 13, 2025, I ordered lasagna, which contained ground beef, Italian sausage, ricotta, and mozzarella. I did not like it. Their sauce is too thick, and the sausage lacks flavor. The generous portion of lasagna was $19, which was split 3 ways. We also split a giant chocolate cream puff, which was heaven. It was light and delicious. Then we ordered a large pizza with half cheese and half pepperoni to take home to the family for Friday night pizza night. It was terrible! The crust was super thick, but not like deep dish (no olive oil). The cheese was too milky and too much. The size was 2 1/2 feet x 3 1/2 feet. Unbelievable! The service was excellent. My bill was over $100, and most of the pizza went in the trash. The atmosphere was a definite hole-in-the-wall/dive. It was not clean, and everything was very old. The bakery was amazing, with many fabulous-looking pastries and cookies. That is the only part of the business I can recommend. I need to try some other entrees to give a fair rating, but now I give the Italian food a 3-star and the bakery a 5-star

Denver day 1... We couldn't check into our hotel just yet, so we found a DDD at lunchtime. It's not all that big inside, just order at the counter and they bring to your table. After ordering, if it's your first visit, they give you complimentary garlic knots. They come with 6 and are about the size of my fist. Oh my. :) She had the Mangia Meatballs sandwich. It came with provolone cheese and added peppers. I chose the Italian steak sandy. It came with fried peppers on a homemade baguette. Not pictured, yes it's also a bakery a chocolate cream puff that barely fit in a small cake box. Pretty cool place that looks like is expanding. DDD#30

Went back to try just the desserts and for $16 we got a ginanormous slice of cake that was ok, and two very small wedding cookies. Felt a little pricey given the location and quality.

Met a friend at Grammys for dinner after seeing them on DDD. She ordered the famous lasagna and I ordered the stuffed rigatoni, which is not on the menu. We both enjoyed our food! Also if it's your first time in, they give you garlic knots on the house and they are huge!! Definitely would come back to Grammys!

I tried the pissed off peach wings they are doing as a special during Palisade peach season. They were really great -- not too peachy, not too spicy, just really well balanced and delicious!!

I'm starting to think that the chef here at Grammy's Italian Goodies might be the only person in the Denver Metropolitan area that actually knows how to cook. I really regret not coming here earlier in our trip, because then we could have came here twice, and maybe avoided some other disappointing restaurant. Everything we ate here was delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant.

We love this place! Fantastic sandwiches and a new dessert is on the menu every time we go. Make sure to bring your appetite! Delicious and the staff is so friendly.

NOT dog friendly. They have a great patio but do not allow dogs. This mom and pop restaurant seems to be the perfect place to bring your pup but it's not. The food looked amazing and it might not be fair to leave a review without eating it, but as a hangry man, it felt bad to be turned away since my puppy was with me.

I only know about this place from a close friend of mine Dominico! He brought us some deserts from there for my Wife's birthday and we really appreciated him doing so. We also went there to get deserts for my Grammy and she enjoyed her day, highly recommend!

We stopped by this adorable family owned restaurant for lunch and it did not disappoint! The service was great; fast and friendly and the food was fabulous! The portions are large but order it all anyway because the leftovers will NOT make you mad! And don't miss the desserts!

Food is fantastic, Service is fast and friendly. Ambiance is all right: No Dogs Allowed, even in large outdoor seating area. Since I had my pup with me, I got my Mezza e Mezza order to go: Two giant ricotta cheese ravioli and spaghetti with sausage to go. Very nice portion came with an excellent roll of Italian bread Plus, since this was my first visit, a huge portion of complementary cheese knots. This totally made up for no dogs rule

Everything here not just tastes good, but is made with love and quality ingredients . This place changed my life. It took us (me & wife) days to finish a single order of garlic knots ($6.95 and worth it). Love the sauce, meat sauce, meatballs, I love it all. But that's not all you get. LOOK at the dessert pictures. BEHOLD the glory of the pastries. Most popular are the cream puffs, of course the cannot, tiramisu and other classics are on point. Grammy does not play, people. Shes playing for keeps... WITH YOUR HEART. You've been warned.

Grammy was sooo friendly and this food was suuuuper delicious! Drove 45 minutes just to try this place and it was well worth it. Seemed like a family owned shop that was cutely decorated for the holidays (sorry late review) and had stacks and stacks of sweets and pastries lined up. We had the lasagna, steak and pasta, and chocolate cake. We were soooooo full afterwards, everything was so yummy. Would definitely come back!

The service was amazing and fast! You order at the counter and they bring your food to your seat. It is very cute inside. We even got free garlic knots for it being our first time. They are massive! I got the homemade noodles with classic sauce and a meatball. My husband got stuffed shells with pink sauce and a meatball. There are so many desserts to choose from and they all look amazing. Overall good experience and will likely go back.

This place was awesome!! Pizza was solid, the Italian sub was delicious, and so many amazing desserts. The owner and team were super nice and friendly, loved this place highly recommend!

In town on vacation we always search out food gems. This place did not disappoint. Walking in it feels like a home cooked meal being greeted by staff that I get the hunch are all connected to the same family tree. For starters as first timers they offer you garlic knots. They had a nice sourdough taste and perfect texture. I also have to say as the reviews say; they are huge. Always like getting the inside track from the staff I went with the lasagna. It too was a large portion and the sausage and cheese throughout were mighty fine. The bread that I suppose is the same dough as the garlic knot came out super fresh with a crispy zing like it just came out of the oven. My wife went with the giant sausage cannoli. It was bigger than life and noticing a trend here the bread had a nice flaky and crispy touch. Went with the desserts of cannoli and giant cream puff. I would say the cream puff was good but more of a novelty. It is just too big. The cream was perfect. The cannoli was the dessert star of the show. There are so many choices when ordering dessert. Loved the staff and their sweet hospitality to make sure my water stayed full throughout the dining experience.

Woah!!! I was looking around, trying to find the best Italian food in Denver... And there's always the fussy Italian food that is kind of expensive and not like grandma used to make... And I stumbled across Grammys and read some of the reviews and thought this is perfect. I think my husband will love this. He grew up With his grandma making spaghetti sauce for days... Foremost, the food is absolutely delicious... We happen to know that we love, Clyde, Sausage, and the fact that they serve it is amazing and so delicious... The garlic knots are as big as my hand... We were so impressed and they're really delicious and somehow kind of light and fluffy... My husband had the lasagna and the portion was huge. I'm pretty sure that we're going to have lasagna for at least 2 to 3 more meals and I had fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and it was divine and the portions were huge. I'm sure I'm gonna eat that for days as well... Our eyes got really big when we saw the desserts and the goodies... they were so yummy looking The best thing about this place is the old-school red and white checkered tablecloth and friendly service and the fact that this is a family business just made our heart happy... While we were sitting there, we noticed a poster apparently this place was on Guy Fieri Diners DriveIns and Dive... I can see why... It's old-school and we love it. It's my new husband's favorite place. It reminds him of days of old.

We're visiting from California and discovered this place through Instagram--so glad we gave it a try! We ordered the lasagna, fettuccine Alfredo, and garlic knots, and everything was absolutely delicious. For dessert, we had the carrot cake, which was the perfect sweet ending. The service was friendly and attentive, and the whole experience was fantastic. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

At Grammys Goodies, you don't just eat, you embark on a culinary adventure! Those garlic knots are literally the size of your head, making you question if you've accidentally joined a baking competition instead of just grabbing a snack. Their pastry selection? It's like walking into a sweet dream where the pastries whisper, 'Eat me!' Not to mention, the food is so delicious that even your taste buds will throw a party! With cozy indoor and outdoor seating options, this family-owned gem offers a warm atmosphere where the staff goes above and beyond,seriously, they might even tackle your to-do list while serving you! If you're not here yet, what are you waiting for? Your stomach will thank you!

Friendly, family owned business. All homemade just like.your Italian Grandma used to make.

Well good news! Once again this place gets a top notch rating! Last time I was a little concerned about their lasagna. Now this menu item was featured on the show Diners, Drive In's and Dives. Sure enough I tried it and was blown away by the taste. But the last time I was not so thrilled and wondered what was the issue since the lasagna left me not very excited. This time I can say that their lasagna is back to the way it was before. It is delicious and my order gave me a very large piece of it. And it was as tasty as ever! It was layered with cheese (ricotta) and Italian sausage and a deeply flavored sauce. Happy days are here again! I also ordered fettuccine alfredo and a small side salad. The alfredo was quite good and the salad hit the spot! Lastly I added some spumoni ice cream and that I'm saving for later. They added two rolls to my order and that was a pleasant surprise. The service was great. They said ready in 15 minutes and sure enough it was there for me when I arrived. I'd have to say this place is as close to NY Italian as you can get. It's always busy but seems to be run very smoothly. I did take a small slice of the lasagna and while it was on my plate I took a photo where you can see the layers in this menu item . I have plenty more left to eat so for the price I'd say you get quite a lot of food. My worries are over and all is good now. Needless to say if you are near this place and want take out give them a call...it's well worth it!

I don't get disappointed often. The hype of this place is overblown. Could be renamed Grammy's Dough Haven. Many of the goodies displayed had no pricing. Odd to not know the price and it was busy to ask. It was fully staffed with people running around in the background. But didn't see a purpose for it. Customer service was inconsistent and lacking. Staff member at register was abrupt and unpleasant to some, nice and sweet to others. Specifically offered 'first-time customers' free garlic knots to some, others had no mention. I understand pricing is high nowadays, but many of the items are way overpriced for 'homemade.' Maybe the recognition garnered from television feature was incentive to raise the prices because 'people will pay.' Garlic knots were mainly undercooked and doughy, poorly seasoned with scant garlic or parmesean flavor. The order was a tangle of 'knots,' more like a mess of rolls. Stromboli was massive with a brick of sausage inside. The sauce on the side was good. Massive meaning layered dough. Hardly cheese. Although I realized what I ordered was a heap of dough with meat, as a first time customer I felt so rushed and my one question had a snapped answer. Add the bready garlic knots and it was too much gluten. The flimsy stryfoam container was too small for all that bread. If you want a carb, judgy, bread-heavy experience, check this place out. I will not be returning nor recommend it to anyone, although the pricy pizzelles were good to choke down at about $1 a piece. I like to support local businesses. I did here once. Not a nice place to make customers feel good. Don't go. You'll be glad you did.

I just called the store about getting a quote for a catering order, the lady who picked up the phone was extremely rude. I was told to call back on monday morning when theyre not as busy. I understand being busy and it being a weekend but I work 8-5 and cannot be on my phone. They just lost a customer and a nice big order.

This place is very delicious and has extremely yummy food currently but currently under construction and a little bit awkward for a sit down restaurant looks like they're trying to grow should be bigger later. Food is amazing. Better takeout.

The food here is very good and so are the baked goods. Always a great place to eat. Friendly workers and family environment

Your foods good but, Vickie had the worst attitude. I'll be catering somewhere else! How was I misinformed and still it being my fault.

I have seen the light--and it burns red with marinara. Dining at Grammy's Italian Goodies was nothing short of a delicious descent into the underworld of flavor. From the first bite, I knew I had sold my soul to something greater... Grammy's sauce. Rich, velvety, spiced like it was conjured in an old-world cauldron and simmered over the flames of Mount Vesuvius itself. In short: I went in hungry and left spiritually possessed--by carbs, cheese, and a little touch of Italian magic. I wish I could give it 6 stars, it's that good!

Absolutely fantastic, the Italian sandwich is delightful and they have us free garlic knots as a first time customer, I assure you we will be back! I'm not usually a fan of Guy Fieri but he nailed it on Grammys Goodies!

Stopped in with The Babe and the grands. Started with a plate of garlic knots, everyone loves them and the sauce! Pasta kids meals with meatballs for both grands, lasagna for the Babe and a filet special for me. Everybody enjoyed their food. The filet special was bigger than advertised! Absolutely recommend this place. We live almost 100 miles away but stop in every chance we get!

All of our items were frozen. They had a cleaning towel on raw meat that was just left in the counter & the place just smells like burnt dough all the time. I've tried this place three times now and it's just not good. Just because the items are huge doesn't mean they have any flavor.

Great place. Went to visit friends in Denver and we made the drive. Large portions and great tasting food. Service was amazing and friendly.

There is nothing to say but OUTSTANDING! Love a family-run business! It is just like a typical family dinner. the food was amazing. My husband had the steak special and I had the lasagna. The service was amazing and so sweet! They are crushing it in and out. Such a great experience. Don't forget to grab dessert, even if it is to go! So many beautiful and delicious choices. We were flying out the next day and my husband tried to bring the leftovers through TSA since they were that good, but they said nah.

My niece had told me about Grammy's, and how good it is and OMGeez was she right! I ordered the lasagna with bread and butter. The portion was huge! I opted to order to go, when I got there the place was small but homie. The pictures on the wall of Grammy and her family made it all that more homie. It was a little loud but with the place being small like it is I wouldn't expect anything else. With it being so good the loudness would not have bothered me if I would have stayed. Their customer service was on point and everyone was very nice and had a huge smile on their faces, like they really do enjoy what they are doing! That's hard to find nowadays. Definitely will be back!

Grammy's Italian blew me away. It far exceeded my expectations! Even though it's tucked away and is probably known as a hidden gem, this place is pop u lar. They are not hurting for business, which is great, but seating is really limited if you want to dine in. SPOILER ALERT. First time customers get an enormous tray of garlic knots and everybody gets the same amount no matter if you're one person or a party of four. It's insane. You have to see it for yourself. Fettuccine Alfredo. Hello, where have you been all my life? Like legit, so good and sauce galore! Add in an Italian soda and you're set for the perfect meal. Grammy's definitely takes good care of their customers and makes you feel right at home. Make sure to check out the dessert counter and take some goodies home.

This little family owned hidden gem is probably the best Italian I have had in Denver. First time visitors receive free order of garlic knots, and holy goodness were they not just the most delicious, but the largest!! It was a Friday night and after being told by 3 different places in the city that we would have to wait over 1.5 hours, we were seated immediately. You are greeted by the kindest smiles, the most home like experience- and the serving sizes for the price were Insane. I had food for an w tire weekend! I got the chicken Alfredo, and my dad got the lasagna which they are known for. And I now know why. The best Alfredo sauce I have ever ever had. And I do not even like lasagna that much- and I ate so much of it. So delicious. If you've had a long week, the ambiance is perfect. I can't wait to go back to try the baked goods. Do not pass this place up!!!!!!!

This was my first time trying Grammys Italian goodies. The location was a little confusing to get in but we found our way. You order at the front and sit down, you pay after the meal is complete. We got a free set of garlic knots (because it was our first time there) in addition to the mozzarella sticks we ordered. I absolutely loved the mozzarella sticks, which I knew based on reading previous reviews are some of the best in the metro area, that's so true!! I also ordered a chicken parm sandwich. With the free garlic knots (which are enormous) it was too much food. The chicken parmigiana sandwich was very good, had an extra side of sauce and the same fry as the mozzarella sticks which was great. The garlic knots didn't seem like a hit to me, a bit of a waste in my opinion. Overall really enjoyed this meal, quick service, and fun atmosphere. We will definitely be back to try more of their food!

Visiting family and because my wife is a huge fan of Dr. Jeff (Rocky Mountain Vet) so we had to take a drive over to see the office! We were told about Grammy's Goodies and what a surprise to see it sits directly across the street! We actually drooled over all of the food we watched coming out but this trip was strictly for sweet goodies only! Our next trip will include dinner here! So where do you start with the bakery goods? Their cases mean business when it comes to the goodie part of Grammy's! My photos give you a sense of what was being offered the day we were there. We walked out with: Brownies, covered with whip and a cherry: Moist, chewy, chocolate brownie...you can't go wrong with a brownie! Cannoli: OMYG!!! The cookie was light and crispy and the filling was creamy and decadent! There were tiny chocolate chips that just added to the texture. The best! Black Forest Cream Puff: Ok, this was the thing dreams are made of! No lie, people! The cream was light, fluffy and this huge cream puff was full of custard and cherries. Fruit Crème Brule: Small but such great fruity flavor, which was a tad tart and blended with the custard made for a perfect bite. The top, with it's crunchy sugar crust, that cracks when tapped. Finally, we also got the Tiramisu: This turned out to be the second favorite (the cream puff was number one!). If you like Tiramisu, this one can't be beat. With that coffee and rummy flavor, the cake was moist and the entire piece was just so yummy! Their goodies are huge and we made a dessert buffet of everything we bought. What a way to end a homemade carne asada dinner...not one person had a complaint! We will so go back for the dinner part of their menu!

1st time trying Grammy's. The woman at the register was extremely rude, not only to us as customers but other wait staff. Food was ok, dessert was delicious.

Once I saw a photo of the stuffed penne, I was sold!! I have never seen this dish before and I just had to have it! We ordered takeout and order was ready in a very timely manner. You can add sausage or a meatball to it. I personally didn't favorite the meatball and could have done without it, but the pasta was uhhmazinggggg!! You won't see it on the menu as it is one of their specials. The garlic knots were soft and fresh - I was also pleasantly informed upon pickup arrival that if you're a first time customer, they're free! How lovely.

Cute little family owned restaurant and bakery with traditional Italian cookies, cakes and more! The service is great and the food is fantastic. Enjoyed the huge portion of lasagna and tasty sausage and peppers appetizer. Didn't save room for dessert but took some rainbow cookies to go. I saw in other reviews about the lack of parking spaces on premises, this isn't an issue as they have two entrances with adjacent lots, and there is plenty is street spaces. Save some money and pay with cash if you can't handle 4% credit card fee. Come on people, support LOCAL businesses.

Amazing food & amazing service!!! Highly recommend. We will be back soon. We ordered the chicken parm w/ noddles, sausage cannoli, and mozzarella sticks. All phenomenal. They also give you free garlic knots your first visit. So much food.

Volume does not satisfy UMAMI, favor is sacrificed for volume, the new generations don't know any other way to judge food. Unbelievable, super markets provide very competive frozen (cheaper) foods! Mom doesn't live here!!

Delicious pastries, cakes, cookies!!! Can't wait go back and try the chicken parmigiana.

I support this mom and pop shop and their food definitely is quality! The pizza is a little much bread, but that's still a great style

This place has a very homey feel to it. I haven't tried the food but have been in twice for dessert in the past two weeks. They have a really good selection. I love that I found a dessert place in the area that's open late(r). Definitely helps with my after-dinner sweet cravings.

I could say so many positive things about Grammy's. I was introduced to this restaurant about a year ago and it has become my go-to restaurant for comfort food and also desserts. I like that they are local, family-owned and consistent. The prices can be a little off-putting but the portions are massive. I always have enough for 2-3 meals. They have limited indoor seating and a large heated tent for outdoor seating. Service is always friendly, professional and quick (even if they're busy and have a long line). I love their alfredo, lasagna, clam chowder and giant ravioli. Truthfully I haven't been disappointed by anything on their menu that I've tried so far. Everything is wonderful. Go give Grammy's a try! You'll get free garlic knots on your first visit.

We had stopped in to pick up some sweets a few months ago and decided to visit for an early dinner after leaf-peeping yesterday. Since it was our first time eating in, we got an order of knots on the house. Fair warning: these are HUGE! Delicious, but huge. For dinner, I went with the stuffed rigatoni in pink sauce with a meatball. (I appreciate they don't include fennel seed in their meatballs!) My hubby went with the lasagne, which was heavy and also delicious. The meals come out in to-go containers, which is great because... well you'll need them, especially if you get anything in addition to an entrée. I'm looking forward to the encore tonight! While food was delicious, there were a couple things that just didn't sit right: there were no less than 10 flies in the corner we sat in. We had to shoo them away multiple times during the meal. Makes me wonder what the kitchen might look like. Also, the key lime cake slice I took home was a bit dry. Tasty, but just missing... something. Maybe I should have gone with tiramisu or a cannoli instead.
