“Amazing experience and ambiance. We went for my husbands birthday and the food was superb! I have celiac disease and they had many gluten free options. We will be back! 🙏🏻✨”
“While my partner and I have never experienced fine dining such as that which is offered at Barolo, we must say that the food and experience were lovely! The food was delicious and the orated wine pairing was amazing. Hearing from our waiter why the wine is chosen and a bit of history behind the cuisine was super fun and the pairing execution was flawless. Definitely going to come back and try more!”
“Literally one of the best restaurants I’ve been to! The service is outstanding, starting the second you walk through the door. Our server, Melanie, was genuinely enthusiastic about us enjoying our evening and shared her stories with us about her travels to Italy, which the entire restaurant team does annually to learn about Italian cuisine. There were 3 of us eating dinner so we all ordered something different, which allowed us to try almost everything on the menu. Every item was truly spectacular and the wine pairings were perfect. I highly recommend! The items pictured are the focaccia, arugula salad, amberjack, mushroom tortellini, spinach spaghetti, gnocchi, steak, pork tenderloin, salmon, cheesecake and carrot cake.”
“Barolo’s was a unique and enjoyable experience. If you are planning to visit, I’d recommend getting the wine pairing option as it was the most enjoyable part. I got the savory soufflé, mushroom tortellini, braised duck, and cheesecake. The soufflé was easily my favorite part of the meal, with how amazingly well every component paired together. The second course was the mushroom tortellini, and it left much to be desired. The mushroom brodo was extremely overpowering and kind of ruined the dish for me. I was very excited for the braised duck, and it was good, but it didn’t really amaze me. It was cooked well, but I wish the sauce was a bit heavier. The cheesecake was good, but I’m personally not a huge fan of edible flowers, it didn’t go well with the texture of the cheesecake. I had fun at Barolo’s, but personally I wouldn’t visit again.”
“Another disappointing Italian experience in Denver, after numerous people hyped this place up. I will say I prefer southern Italian, but even so, the dishes didn’t deliver. The veal agnolotti was pretty sparse on veal and was basically just a vessel for butter and cheese - which normally I’d say is delicious, but not in this case. The porcetta pasta dish I got was okay, but had a little bit of a bitter taste to it. The octopus was fine, but a bit chewy. The veal carpaccio, which we were warned was very basically seasoned, wasn’t very exciting. They did offer a truffle add on, but for $35 on that small of a dish, didn’t seem worth it. Italian wine offering was very good and the bartender who served at the bar counter was great. Also appreciated the restaurant has sound dampening panels which contributed to a nice atmosphere. Really wanted to love this place, hopefully I’ll have a chance to try it again and do some different dishes. But what we had wasn’t worth the higher price point and was disappointing after hearing such great things. Sounds like many people love it, so you might too!”
