If I could give parisi more than 5 stars I would! We have lived nearby for years before trying and I’m mad at ourselves for not getting there sooner than 6 months ago! Since then, we’ve been many times, and the food, and experience, has been amazing everytime! Some of our favorites / go-to’s include: carbonara, costa est pizza, creamy pesto, Caesar salad, and Frito misto. Other notable dishes we’ve had and loved include: tagatelle basciola, cozze (mussels), and ravioli di zucca. You can’t leave without getting gelato, and the pistachio gelato is a must. Beats any other gelato or ice cream shop in denver! Their prices are super reasonable especially for the large portion sizes. The customer service is superb and the employees are friendly. And just because the service is quick, doesn’t mean the quality of food is poor. In fact, it seems very high quality and authentic. We just adore this place and it’s the best Italian food in denver!

My first visit. I figured the flow. My friend joined and we ordered. $40 for lunch seems a bit high. Food quality was on point. Portions on the smaller side. Restrooms very clean, thank you! No refill service available. I left parched, I had to stop for water on the way home. It would not be a go-to place for me. Maybe it will be for you! Support local.

Won't find a better Italian restaurant, definitely one of our favorites. Top notch food, I've ordered many different options and honestly never been disappointed. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the vibes are chill. Good mix drinks from the bar, and the Gelato for desert is a must have. Definitely recommend 👍

We were starving and looking for something quick, and Parisi definitely delivered. The arugula salad and arancini were our favorites. The pizza was tasty, though it felt a bit overloaded with prosciutto and arugula, and I would have preferred a thinner crust. The food came out very quickly, and the portions were generous. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner at Parisi.

We love this place. Not our best experience unfortunately. Calzone was nearly burnt on top but raw underneath. We tried to cut into it and it fell apart. The whole middle of calzone was a waste, mush. We told our waitress but it wasn’t removed from our bill. We didn’t take one bite. After we realized they weren’t comping it we decided to take it home, will try to rebake the ends, maybe will salvage some of the $16 calzone. Arancini were very bland and some of them tasted like they were either refried or had sat around for a few days past their prime. Not appetizing. Big let down. A little over $25 wasted. Kid’s spaghetti is good, nothing special but the meatballs are amazing. Kid’s pepperoni pizza was delicious. Pear salad, bread, ricotta and spinach raviolis were all great, so were our drinks! Love the atmosphere here and the staff is great, kid friendly. I hope they fine tune those items because this is a great neighborhood restaurant overall just a lackluster experience this time. TIL If you order a calzone request it well done - or at a minimum check the crust underneath before cutting into it/carrying out. Also do not order the arancini.

What a lovely little gem! We decided to stop by for lunch after randomly discovering this place online. The atmosphere and service are casual and modern, making for a relaxed vibe. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive! Unlike other Italian spots, you order at the counter before sitting down, but honestly, I don’t mind that at all. The food is fantastic—one of the best casual Italian restaurants I’ve been to. The bolognese penne ragu was so flavorful and comforting. Honestly, I don’t think you can go wrong with anything on their menu!

The food here is amazing! The food deserves the five-star rating. The only downside to the restaurant is it definitely doesn't have a relaxed atmosphere. Just due to the design and layout and the way they operate, it's more of a fast paced restaurant. If you're looking for a relaxing night on the town this may not be the best spot but for excellent food it definitely is!

The best creamy pesto gnocchi I’ve ever had + really good butternut squash ravioli and nonna cake. Excellent service, although unconventional for a sit-down Italian restaurant

One of my favorite lunch places in Denver. They have a huge variety of pasta options. Sertvice is fast but friendly. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. I always start with a salad and then a pasta. Their gnocchi is great. I never have room for dessert but their gelato looks good!

This is a long-standing favorite of mine. I decided to treat myself to lunch because I was between appointments. I haven't been in for about six months and whereas I still love it, I have to say the quality and service was not what I remembered. A more "casual fast food" feeling, with not the usual warmth of staff. I ordered the "special" soup, lentil and bean, Caesar salad, and a glass of Chianti. The food came quickly, but once it was served, a waitress clearing her tray at the garbage near me, gave it a few good, distracted thwacks and proceeded to hold it very high aloft, dripping whatever garbage she had just slammed into the bin over my table, my food, and my head. I avoided my soup, and ate about 1/4 of the salad as I wasn't sure how much garbage water/detritus went in. I called her over and explained what had happened and she just sort of scrunched her face, mumbled sorry and scurried off. Later when another person came to take away my uneaten food, I told her the quality wasn't great, and she made the "wah, wah" face and scurried off. I could have brought it up to the manager, but i hate doing that. I'd rather just maybe not go for lunch, or give it another shot another time. Really sad, $35 bucks is a lot for me now, and it was super disappointing. Paris has gone from being an experience to look forward to, to being a meh local place that maybe was just having a bad, indifferent, and snotty day? Going to finish my wine and finish being schmoopy and feeling like I just yelled at a beloved neighborhood kid to get off my lawn.

This place!!! For sure is a must !!! Freaking delicious... I lived in Italy for a couple years and when I had their lasagna, let's just say I was transported back to Italy for sure .... Portion size, more than enough for 2. Salad, sooooo freaking good. They have a way of doing things here though. When you walk in, you order your food first and then they assign you a table. Different but fun! Staff was just so friendly. I wanted to eat everything but that just means I have to come back. The vibe was verrrry Italia !!! All I got to say is BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO !!!!! Grazie Molto

Popped in after a day of shopping nearby. Initially there was a line out the door. It moved pretty quickly until we were at the counter to place our order. Tried a few dishes. Penne with gorgonzola and walnuts was meh, side meatball was also just ok with the sauce being tasty but very thin. House salad had a nice variety but blood orange dressing was almost non-existent. Limoncello spritz was also just ok for $12. Raviolli de zucca was a hit as was the complimentary herb bread and delicious oil and balsamic. Food came out VERY quickly and service was there just to clear tables. Will be back again to try the pizza.

We visited Parisi Sotto for a birthday dinner. The ambiance is absolutely beautiful, along with the service. We started off with the antipasto which was delicious. My husband had the steak and I went with the fennel salad. The flavors are simple and clean-- which really speaks to true Italian. If you're looking for a perfect date night, Parisi Sotto is a cozy, intimate spot.

Parisi is still the top Italian place for me in Denver as the carbonara cannot be beat. The food is delicious, the service is amazing, and the restaurant is always clean. I love love love everything we have ever gotten here and I probably come here once or twice a month for the last almost 20 years. This is on my regular rotation and I tell everyone about it! I'm usually not a calzone fan as most places the dough is thick but Parisi's dough is thin and crispy with lots of filling. I seriously just can't get enough. I'm bummed that post pandemic there is no more happy hour but hope it comes back at some point. Food is so reasonably priced and always on point. Pizza salad is great, all the pastas are great, entrees are amazing! Seriously, they have THE best carbonara in town that's the most authentic, no cream, no peas, just guanciale/pancetta and eggs, as a carbonara should be. Get their gelato too or tiramisu for a sweet finish... chef's kiss!

Hello 3.

Yelp
I have been a loyal customer of Parisi since the day they opened their small Italian market to their current location on Tennyson. I've probably eaten here 500 times, but last night was a shocking departure from the service I've known. We ordered at 5:22 PM. For the next 30+ minutes, we watched table after table - people who arrived long after us - receive their meals. I checked in twice and was told both times it would be "just a minute." By 5:54 PM, I was upset. I went to the counter to ask for a refund. I'll admit I was frustrated, and it showed. I was again told, this time more emphatically, that the food was "almost ready!" That was the third time. I said, "If it's almost ready, give me the refund and the food to go; it's the right thing to do!" At this point, the staff member walked away and came back a few minutes later with the manager, Genaro. Instead of an apology, or asking how he could help, or acknowledging the service issue - or even saying, "Hi, I'm Genaro" - he came out with a defensive attitude, stomping towards us, literally stomping towards us. He shoved the receipt toward me, pointing at the time and insisting that a 40-minute wait for three meals in a fast-casual setting is "normal." It is not. Parisi is not fine dining; waiting nearly 40 minutes for three chicken dishes in a fast-casual environment is not normal at all. I told him that. I also told him, "Look around, everyone in here came after us, and they all have plates in front of them." When I told him his dismissal of a nearly 30-year customer was insulting, he began yelling at me in front of the entire restaurant, first telling me to leave, then shouting that I was "banned for life." Banned for life! I should take them my picture so they can tape it next to their register: "This man is banned for life!" Looking back, I could have just sat and waited for the food to arrive; 40 minutes isn't a lifetime. But after being misled for 40 minutes, my patience had run out. To be treated with such vitriol and aggression by management - after nearly three decades of loyal support - is staggering. I admitted my frustration, but a manager's job is to fix a mistake, not bully a long-time patron to cover up for a slow kitchen. A deeply sad end to a Denver staple.

Incredible Food Held Back by an Unusable Website Let me start with the most important part: the food is genuinely outstanding. It's some of the best pasta, pizza on Tennyson. The Digital Disaster Unfortunately, the process of actually getting that amazing food via their online ordering system is an absolute nightmare. I felt like I was dragged back to the digital dark ages, navigating a website straight out of 2000. To the owners: You are creating brilliant food, but you are creating a horrible experience. Please, take a moment to put yourselves in your customers' shoes and try to place a simple to-go order. Please do your customers right and fix this technical flaw.

Nice Italian food spot for lunch or casual dinner. We ordered at the front then find a seat. Staff comes by to give out waters, silverware, and plates, else service is pretty hands off. We ordered a large salad and pizza to share. It all tasted great.

What a nice gem!! We randomly came across this place online and decided to go grab some lunch. Overall, service and ambiance is very casual and modern. The staff was very attentive and friendly! It is a little different than other Italian places as you go inside and order before sitting down. I personally do not mind it. Food is one of the best casual Italian places I have had here in Denver. The penne ragu bolognese was so delicious and felt very homey. I do not think you can go wrong with anything on their menu!

I love the upstairs Parisi's and the separate restaurant downstairs Parisi Soto. Both offer different dinning experiences. The upstairs is informal with very good food for the price; the best Cioppino Stew I've ever had. The downstairs is for those that would prefer a server in a more intimate setting (a lot less little kids) and so the menu is more elevated. Thanks for all you do, we love it!

Wow! My daughter took me here while I was in town visiting and I now know why it is one of her favorite places to go. The wait was minimal and we were able to sit outside ( party of 3). I had the butternut squash ravioli and it was absolutely one of the best pastas I have ever had. We had the mixed risotto for an appetizer and all of those were so good also. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The appetizer came out just shortly after we sat. Food came out fresh and hot. We also had the red and White House wine which were good. I can't wait to visit again. Ravioli will not be the same back in Ft Worth!

This place is perfect. Amazing pizza and apps. It's rustic and tastes high quality. I don't even mind the wait because I know i will be satisfied by the price and food. It's a perfect date night, casual dinner, or literally for whenever you actually want your food to be good. It's such a gem that if I won the lottery and this place went under I'd personally fund it to stay open. I drive 40 mins away to come whenever I can

I just got back from Italy and have been looking for a place in Denver whose food reminded me of it a little bit. I can't speak for the other menu items because I didn't try them all, but the PASTA, specifically the ravioli is OUTSTANDING. The bread at the table was fresh and I was overall just very very impressed.

Really mediocre pizza served with a side of surliness. Pizza crust is floppy and quite unappealing. Best thing was the gelato All flavors were bland. Much prefer Marcos, Blue pan, and homegrown tap and dough

I was invited to a celebration of life luncheon here today along with several friends. The entire lower level was reserved for the event. There was an open bar along with an incredible buffet which included chicken Parmesan, meatballs, Caesar salad, etc. There were several staff members serving guests along with a bartender who happened to know about the honoree's favorite cocktail and prepared it just as I remembered it. There were several tables which were arranged perfectly for accommodate groups of 4 to 8 comfortably. The dining room and bathroom were very clean. Although this was a somber occasion, Parisi's did an amazing job.

So many good things! Delicious lasagna and gnocchi, lovely salads and delicious pizza! The flavors are authentic just like the way Nona used to cook! We appreciate the ample parking and friendly service. This is a casual spot where you order at the counter for food served at your table. This will be our go-to restaurant for great Italian in the future!

I visited the upstairs portion of Parisi on a Sunday evening and there was a very short line. Our party of four ordered four entrees, which came extremely quickly. I did not realize the capri pizza did not have a cheese base but it was still very tasty! The table bread was delicious and I enjoyed the ambiance. My food was 4 stars because I wanted to try their basic options (plain pizza, pasta, panini) so I am excited to try some of their more specialties soon!

Might be my favorite Italian place in Denver!! Service is always super fast once you get through the line, which is usually long but worth the wait! I base an Italian spot on their vodka sauce and they have one of the best!! Such a fun spot to go!

Food: 3/5 Spaghetti Carbonara: Good portion and creamy. However, the sauce lacked flavor and depth. The highlight of the dish was the salty guanciale. Arancini Mixto: 3/5 Ground beef and cheese and mushroom and cheese. The flavor was okay, nothing special. The balls were really small. The sauce was okay. Gelato: 5/5 The gelato was the best food I had here! I got the stracciatella and lemon bar. It was creamy, rich, and had the perfect consistency. I got the 6 ounces with two scoops priced at $5. Service: 5/5 The cashier was very patient and kind as we asked questions about the menu. When my sister sent back her limoncello drink, the waitress didn't hesitate to retrieve her a new drink. Overall, the food is average and nothing special. Note: while the picture shows everyone's food, I only reviewed the spaghetti carbonara.

Parisi is a city gem. They are consistent, delicious which explains why you have such a great following. Thanks for sticking it out during tenuous times in the industry and being a neighborhood staple. I have also never had issues with your point of sales system or ordering to go food.

So, hear me out... I'd definitely go back to this spot and order different dishes than what I ordered this round. The ambiance of the restaurant itself is very modern cafe and it makes you feel like you're out of country for a moment! I love that they offer sweets/baked goods up front and that you order at the counter and then you're seated for your meal. 1. There were no signs to lead you to the line and it being our first time here, we stood at the entrance for a while thinking no one wanted to greet us. But, once directed, I loved the set up to order at the counter and then be seated. 2. We ordered a large PARISI CAESAR, TAGLIATELLE BOSCAIOLA, and the NEW YORKESE sandwich (mild with olive spread). Once seated, the service was very on point and felt quick so you're not waiting for very long to eat! They also bring out complimentary bread and while we appreciated it, there was lack of flavor. Cold & dense. Nonetheless, I think the service and feel of the restaurant had us elevated in our Parisi atmosphere! The caesar salad was delightful! By far my favorite dish and the fact they make the dressing in-house with anchovies was wonderful. I would absolutely order this again and come back for it! The pasta dish (tagliatelle) was superrrr al dente to the point of it feeling like it needed more cook time and the sauce was noticeably salty. I'm a savory gal myself, but this sauce caught me off guard with the salt level. It just needed a bit less salt and a little more cook. The sandwich we ordered it mild for the olive spread, because olives are my single most favorite food item! But, it same out spicy and with the pickled veggies. This surprised me greatly at first bite, because I wasn't expecting the heat. Luckily, I do enjoy spicy food, but this wasn't what I ordered and I feel that if someone ordered mild, because they can't handle the spice, it would've been too much heat and by fluke. The bread was beautiful, the meats were flavorful and aplenty! I really appreciated that about the sandwich. I would like to order this again and triple confirm I'm getting mild with olives. I wouldn't order spicy (I didn't even order it though) again. On the way out, we grabbed a cannoli with cherries! The cream filling had little to no flavor and the exterior shell was overly sweetened and very hard to bite into. Again, not bad, but just needed a little less sugar and maybe a little more of that cheesy cream filling flavor? I think next time I'd be more interested in trying the gelato they had! Honestly, that front counter was very charming. I liked that it felt like a mini market! Overall, I'm feeling like I really would like to try this spot again. The restaurant felt lively and I would be happy to sit in the atmosphere and soak it in again. I'll order differently and try again sometime.

Started with their homemade soup had carrots, potatoes cabbage, delicious then I had eggplant Parmesan, which I think is the best I ever had. It's nice and thick. That sauce is delicious. I just love this place every time I eat there. It's wonderful. The service is great. their staff is very friendly and helpful and efficient. I would recommend this to anybody.

I don't like leaving negative reviews but the Braised Short Ribs...you couldn't even get the meat off the bone they were so tough. Let the gal know and no response not even an apology. Times have changed.

Parisi is always a family favorite and our go to for a quick casual Italian meal. It does get busy and is very popular. However, the staff is always very friendly and on top of getting everyone seated. The fact that they bring bread to your table right away definitely curbs the hangry feelings right away. They have an excellent selection of Italian delights. I usually go with a pizza salad with chicken, But the calzone is a close runner up. The portions are very filling and I always leave feeling more than satisfied. They have a little Italian market area with Gelato if you're after any dry pasta or desserts. Also they offer a fine selection of Italian influenced alcoholic beverages. This place is best for smaller groups, as the seating is a bit limited. 6 people or less would be best. I could literally go here every day and never grow tired of it.

Really enjoy Parisi, you can get a quality plate of pasta for a good price. Every time I've been there's been a line out the door but it moves quickly. I like that they assign you a table when you order as opposed to having to try to find one after ordering and not knowing if you'll find one before your food is ready. I haven't had anything bad here on the menu.

Had a great dinner here Saturday night! My wife and I found a couple seats at their cozy bar and got to hang out with a very friendly and knowledgable bartender. We had drinks, a Caesar salad, pepperoni pizza, the tagliatelle boscaiola, and gelato for dessert. Salad was a classic Caesar. Pizza was great. While tasty, the pasta did miss the mark. The tagliatelle boscaiola description said that it was a porcini dish. Here are the ingredients listed on their menu/website: pancetta, porcini mushrooms, plum tomato sugo & cream. The mushrooms were clearly cremini/button and not porcini. We ordered the dish because we like porcini mushrooms, and were disappointed that the specific ingredient we were seeking was subbed for a much less expensive item without being reflected on the menu in description or price. Subbing porcini for cremini is like subbing halibut for tilapia - it changes the dish entirely. The tagliatelle boscaiola dish was tasty, but I felt tricked by the untruthful menu description. The gelato was fantastic and a great cap to the night. Overall, Parisi a really very nice Italian restaurant in Denver, and I would put it in my top 3 Italian restaurants in the city. If our pasta dish had arrived as advertised, it would have been a perfect 5 stars. Excited to dine in again and try a different pasta dish instead.

The servings are much smaller than expected for the price point. Don't bother asking for something on the side, they'll refuse. I'd rather go to Olive Garden for the $$. Won't return.

Parisi is a really cool casual-concept Italian restaurant located on Tennyson. This is an ideal weeknight spot for a casual date or to take the family! Upon entering, you grab a menu and decide what you'd like. Then you pay at the counter and they tell you which number table to sit at. Once seated, they immediately bring over bread and water. They are very kid-friendly and provide a coloring sheet, crayons, and have children's drink options like lemonade and fruit punch. The kids menu is available upon request. The entrees are very reasonably priced for the quality! My chicken Parmesan was $15 for two large cutlets of chicken with roasted potatoes and spicy broccolini. Next time, I'd like to try one of their pizzas because they looked amazing! Parisi also has a nice selection of gelato for dessert.

My favorite restaurant in Denver. Consistently delicious food in a great atmosphere with the best staff. We try to branch out but I'm pretty addicted to the Pollo a limone and my husband is addicted to the gnocchi sorrintina. Also, the Fiocchetti with Pears and cheese - oh my gosh! And the butternut squash ravioli. Life would not be the same without Parisi. Please never ever close your doors.

A go to for Italian food when I'm in the Tennyson area after hearing about the delicious pasta from a cashier at another shop on Tennyson! You order at a counter and the food is brought out to you along with some delicious bread! I love this place for grabbing lunch and it can get pretty busy but the staff here is helpful with menu questions and also pretty quick to make sure you get your food. There is a variety of pastas, pizzas, salads and dishes to choose from and they're all priced pretty reasonably especially as everything is super fresh and delicious. The insalata caprese was fresh, crisp and exactly what I wanted especially with the inclusion of a giant mozzarella ball on top. I typically gravitate toward the pastas, which are priced between $12-16 per plate. This is cheaper than a lot of other italian places but I'd say the portion is more of a "lunch size". This isn't to say I don't manage to get about 2 meals out of the plate. Food always comes out fast and I've never had food that doesn't make me say "wow that's good" here. Next time, I want to check out the gelato and some of the imported food items they have available after my meal. A good option for food that I keep coming back to.

This is a cute neighborhood spot located in Tennyson on the main street. There's no reservation and sometimes a line at peak dinner hours. You order at the front and then wait for a table. Food was served fairly speedy. Food was on the lighter side of the flavor. The pasta was fine. However, I was impressed by the pork - it was so tender and flavorful with a side of smashed potatoes and veggies and beans. I strongly recommend this dish if you come here for dinner. The portion of this dish was big as well that I ended up taking home the leftovers. He has a cute ice cream and bar stalls on the side of the restaurant as well if you were feeling like getting a drink or dessert afterwards.

The concept of buying your food before you get the physical food was interesting to me. I have only encountered that at a buffet before. I can safely say that this is not a buffet, but I wish it was because it was absolutely delicious. I got the Spaghetti Carbonara, and my GF got the Wild Boar pasta that was on special for the night. Our food came quick and it was hot and delicious. The Limoncello Spritz was great too. For our starter we got the breaded and fried Risotto balls are freaking perfect. I hate mushrooms but I would eat those for days straight. The marinara sauce is great too. Service is excellent and the people are really friendly. Dessert is great too, they have authentic italian gelato - this is where it becomes a small story time. Growing up in Germany we had an Italian family that would come up to Germany for the summer to sell their gelato. I loved the pistachio and my mom loved the hazelnut, chocolate, and strawberry. She recently passed away so I had to try her flavors. I was taken back to my childhood and the memory of walking in town with her eating some of that gelato. Parisi. Thank you for this. I will always come back, if not for pasta, it will be for the gelato. This place deserves the 5 stars.

Long time patron of Parisi's and this day I chose the pesto gnocchi, half Cesar salad, and water. It was delicious as I expected! Staff is always top notch and caring for our every want. If you have not gone, don't wait go now! Well maybe wait till they are open.

Wow I wish I found this place sooner. Have lived here 5 years and this is my new Italian spot. My husband daughter and I LOVED the food today. The pasta was fresh and the flavors were incredible. Our daughter was able to easily enjoy as well. The burrata was by far my favorite part of the meal. It was delicious and so salty. The pizza had great flavors the dough was so fluffy and the meats were cooked so well. 5/5 will be back again soon

Came here for Brunch. Everything was delicious. I ordered the Lasagna with layers of meat Bolognese sauce, mozzarella, parmigiano & besciamella. My daughter ordered the EGGPLANT PARM with breaded eggplant layered with mozzarella & tomato sauce. We also had the SAUTÉED SPINACH. It was not oily like some of them at. It was simply delicious. I had a coke cola that was a strong foundation drink. I haven't had a soda like that in years. I really enjoyed our meal. We even got two cannolis to go. They are wonderful! Ten stars.

I always love coming here, it usually takes me 20 minutes to decide what to order. I want everything! Tonight... homemade ravioli pockets filled with gorgonzola and pear, tossed in mascarpone with a parmesan sauce drizzled with a balsamic glaze. Truly, one of THE BEST things I've ever eaten. I will be back soon so I can have it again and then ordering will take less time. The staff is friendly and they treat you well. I had an Espresso Martini tonight, it was fabulous as well! I wish I had room for their Authentic Italian Gelato!

We have been in before usually downstairs, however this time we ate upstairs and tried the pizza and pasta. I see why the pizza is on almost every table. The dough had the perfect texture, chew and flavor. The sauce tasted homemade the cheese quality and fresh. The carbonara pasta was just ok. I wouldn't get it again but with a large menu many other things looked great to try. Service was great. As we sat down a great homemade bread was served and drinks arrived right behind. Makes sense why they have over 25 years in business.

Very impressive menu for such a casual atmosphere. When you arrive, you get in line and order your food/drinks at the register before going to your table The prices were also very reasonable, and it is located in the Tennyson area. I ordered the smallest size of pizza, which was enough food for two people, and had a generous portion of cheese and prosciutto. Surprisingly, though, the pizza was almost the same price as one glass of House red wine. When we arrived at our table, there was a basket of bread, waiting for us with decent quality olive oil, and balsamic vinegar, which made for a wonderful start to our casual dining experience. The food came out more quickly than I expected, and I was very satisfied with the quality of food .

Nearly left after arriving at 7PM on a Saturday evening to find a line out the door to order. But about 15 mins later we put in our order and we're seated. Bread came immediately and drinks within 2 or 3 mins. And our meals came within 5-10 mins! The gnocchi was melt in your mouth soft and the butternut squash ravioli was so sweet with the balsamic glaze. The whole operation was so busy but also so efficient and the free bread was great. There's nothing better than feeling like your at the hottest spot in town but not having to wait forever!

Delicious food, I loved the pollo Al limone but want to come back soon so I can try more here! Nice ambiance and very fast service too. Next time I'm getting a cannoli!

I don't know how anyone would leave a review that is less than 5 stars. This place is incredible. We had an Italian exchange student and she said it was the most authentic Italian restaurant in Denver by far. Definitely worth a visit.

I've been here many times, and never had a bad experience. Their food is delicious, service is speedy, and staff is friendly and attentive. The space is also super cool, and the restaurant is always clean. My favorite dish is the Fiocetti Alla Perra, and I always get it to share with a friend. A must try in my opinion!

This was my first time experiencing Parisi. I decided to try Parisi based on a recommendation from a neighbor who has frequented the location for years. I ordered online for a curb side pickup. With a 7:15pm pick up time. When I arrived, I followed the is friction to call the number. I did and waited 5 minutes and no one answered the phone. So, I had to go in and after waiting at the take out counter for I finally flagged a staff member down and informed them of the situation. She went and got my pizza which had clearly been made way too fat in advance because it was warm it cold by the time I got it home (I live a 7 minute drive away). Please tell me what is the point of a curbside pick up , a convenience service, if you aren't going to actually support it. To sum it up, there is better pizza with good service out there. Don't waste your time here.

One of my favorite restaurants in Denver. I would highly recommend a visit to Parisi! Their house made pasta is fantastic. Specifically tagliatelle ragu and gnocchi, and my favorite, tagliatelle boscaiola. I also love the bistecca Pepe Verde and pollo al limon. The staff is always great. They are happy, helpful, and attentive.
