Marchitelli's Cucina Italiana

Repeat attempts have resulted in less than ideal experiences. Host staff is generally almost put-off by guest arrival. I kind of expect someone to be happy about me showing up to drop $100 on tomatoes and pasta. Bar staff kinda needs to cut the chit chat especially when they have a full house. If tickets are poppin no reason to be talkin. Chef, why on earth would you try to smoke pasta sauce? This is Italian food and I get you're trying to put a Colorado spin on it but let's stick to the basics just a bit. Pasta should not be served watery either, this is not Fazzolis. The upside is that wait staff, although overwhelmed by the slowness of the bar, does seem to at least try and almost always delivers. Everyone has off nights but of 6 attempts so far only 1 was something worth going back for.

This was unbelievably bad.

Fantastic food! Best pesto I’ve ever had! Even through DoorDash food arrives hot and so fresh!

Great prices, food and service. We are repeat patrons and highly recommend.

The review below was from a couple of years ago. We've been back many times since and highly recommend Marchitelli's for lunch or dinner. The eggplant parmesan is the best in town, and the fresh bread is always a treat. Our service has always been very good (at night, it's usually excellent), but they sometimes seem understaffed, particularly at lunch. But don't let that deter you...the servers work hard, the food is a treat, and the ambience is lovely. (Portions can be very large, so be prepared to take some home.) ------- Really enjoyable lunch. Portions were generous and came with a side salad and crusty bread and herb butter. The mozzarella sticks were a delicious appetizer…made in house and not bricked under thick dough like so many places.These were delicate and melty and really good. I had a lovely champagne cocktail, and my husband loved the house-brewed ice tea. Our pasta was good, if not great. (They are waiting on some equipment to start making the pasta in-house.) While not particularly memorable, we had no trouble eating it. Desserts are a great size for sharing…and you should plan to have dessert because they’re really good. Our service was great, but one young man was covering the entire front of house…hosting, serving, bussing, running the food, meeting delivery drivers. He was running the whole time and never missed a beat with us. But we noticed several parties come in and leave before they were seated, which is a shame because it’s definitely worth a visit. We’ll be back.

Second time here and it won’t be the last. Pricey food, but WORTH EVERY PENNY.

We found this place a month ago and have literally eaten there every week. We do lunch, so the portions are more manageable. They have multiple vegetarian options which is a treat. Try it! I bet you'll like it! 1/3/24 Per the sign on the door, this restaurant is closed. Pauly, good luck with your next job!
