Cattivella

Excellent cuisine. Well balanced flavors with many menu options, all made from scratch. Also has excellent happy hour options. With so many places in Denver it's rare to find a place you constantly want to go back. This is the place!

The Chef and owner Elise Wiggins is a gem and world-class gift to Denver; just Google, "Cattivella reviews" to read all the other amazing accolades, not to mention being honored by The James Beard Foundation! Along with the cuisine being incredible, the restaurant ambiance is always buzzing with excitement, the craft cocktails tasty, and the service is truly top notch.

Pro-tips: while any seat is good, sit at the bar for all the excitement -- or if you have a party of 4-6, ask for the "corner round table". Also when visiting, ask for Elise as she loves meeting and chatting with the guests -- you'd love her!

Incredible Italian restaurant. The service was outstanding and the food was excellent! We came here during happy hour and the pricing is fantastic during the happy hour time frame. We will definitely come back during another time period because everything was so good. We had almost everything on the appetizer menue and also had two pizza's. We also enjoyed sitting at the chefs counter. Hats off to the staff and management, what a great experience.

We absolutely love this place. My wife is full blooded Italian and this is where we go for her birthday. Prices are too reasonable for the quality and taste of the food. Sit at the chef's bar if you can to see a great show of kitchen madness that they seem to make look easy. Everything on the menu will be an option as it is all delicious.

There's a reason this place is always packed. Maybe it's the awesome service and friendly staff. Or perhaps it's the fact that you can't go wrong no matter what you order off the menu. Or maybe it's even the awesome happy hour specials. Either way, I keep coming back for special occasions and upscale date nights. Love everything about this charming Italian establishment.
