About this business

In 1934, Denver's most notorious family, the Smalldones opened up an eatery in the North Side to become the heart of both Italian cuisine and an illicit operation. 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.

Thank you, Gaetano's, for the lovely additions to the delicious Valentine's Day dinner that I had last night. The sparkling wine, roses, and chocolate-dipped strawberries were a generous and delightful surprise for the evening. Could not have asked for more!

If your looking for a regular spot for the family or a new location for 1st dates, this is defiantly the spot. The food is great, the staff is friendly, everything is priced at a fair amount and you get the small family owned vibe.

Worst restaurant experience of my life. Took 45 minutes to place our food order waitress kept trying to hand the order off to other waiters. Forgot my mom's order, her food came out 15 mins after everyone else's food. Ice tea came with no ICE, water was out of the question with her. Ignored the birthday girl when she odered her drink. Party of 8 and they couldn't give two Shits about us

Fantastic pizza! Great everything. Hopefully they are bringing in some new small estate ital wines now. Don't miss the bathroom photos! I can still remember sitting at the bar with Fat Paulie Bach-in-the-day . . .

Best Italian food I ever had. Flavors were bursting in my taste buds.

Not what it used to be. Food is less than marginal now, and good luck sending back your $17 bad dish. We got a $3.40 discount. Go to Patsy's or Ernie's instead.

Service is impeccable. Fabulous fresh pasta by Chef Seth and staff. Hand crafted cocktails by Brian were inventive, absolutely incredible and a lot of fun. Order the dessert sampler ... all good but the tiramisu was the best ever! I can't wait to travel back to Colorado to have dinner again!
