While drawing the neighborhood's attention to their famous pasta, they also drew the attention from police as Denver's only mafia operated in the basement. It's not quite the hoodlum hangout as it used to be as the Smalldone Empire has fallen and Denver's mayor bought Gaetano's, but the food hasn't changed and Chauncy Smalldone still stops by for lunch.

Awesome food, but service sucked, and reservation time doesn’t mean anything to them.

One of our favorite Denver restaurants. Great food. We love the ambiance too. But call ahead to get a seat. It gets pretty busy.

Always a favorite! Been going for years, however, bring back the calzone!

This is, in my opinion, the best Italian food in Denver!

First time there. Food and service were great. Funky retro atmosphere fun for families and friends. Drinks and bread were promptly served. Chicken Marsala was really good and so was the spaghetti and meatballs. Will definitely go again.

Back in the day this was a mob hangout and had some of the best Italian food in town. I had not eaten there in years until I stopped by for lunch the other day and it was terrific! Best Clams and linguine I have had in a long time. It is on the 'Mob Tours ' in Denver and probably worth it. Back on my list of favorites.
