Appetizers were great. The main pasta dishes were just OK. The dark basement is a great intimate setting. The service was very good. Don't let the long lines for the upstairs casual dining room scare you away. Downstairs is a great experience.
We had an anniversary last week and decided to try out Firenza a Tavola downstairs from Parisi at 44th and Tennyson in Denver. (Berkeley area Wow were we surprised! Our food was great. We once took a 30 day trip through Italy and we called that trip, "Eating our way through Italy!" SO! it is a nice compliment to the restaurant. In fact our waiter was from Lake Como area. He suggested a wine I loved and I know without a doubt you will be quite happy and return many times.I had grilled squid antipasti and a type of ceaser salad with a scallop tagiletti main dish. They had a nice menu for everyone to find something to enjoy.
Okay, here's the deal with this place. It feels like authentic family dining - from when I was a kid. The food here is okay - but far from where Denver dining is now in 2019. It's been a while since I had to return a dish but the stuffed zucchini flowers were a complete tasteless fail. The beet salad was uninspired and the pasta dishes were heavy and one note. Staff was very efficient and friendly but that's not why you go to a restaurant.
My wife and I invited 6 of our friends to meet for dinner.
The service and food are fabulous!
I would certainly go back and recommend Firenze to all my friends.
