    I'm not a big review person. But let me tell you something this little gem here is amazing Dave the owner kills it when it comes to customer service. And with the GF options and freshness of the pasta it sets this place apart from the 5 star Italian restaurants in town. Good location good music and quality food. Check it out.

    Probably these best Italian I've had living in Denver the last 7 years. We heard about DiFrancos through our Passport Book, so we made a reservation since there are about 10 tables in the restaurant. When you walk-in you go to the counter and they will hand you a menu and you go to a table. Once you decide on what you will order you place your order at the counter. We ordered the pizza logs to start and boy they didn't disappoint!! Pepperoni wrapped around mozzarella cheese and then fried. We wolfed these down with the marinara sauce. I could have ordered another plate of these bet held off. The carbonara and spaghetti were delicious. You can tell it was made there just how the noodles had a certain type of texture. The pasta was amazing and the sauces didn't disappoint. I did buy 3 ricotta cookies sorry no photos but they were delicious. Again I should have bought at least 3 more to snack at home the next day. The service was great. They came out to make sure your food was good and they did ask how we heard of their restaurant. They do very little marketing and rely on reviews, word of mouth, and the passport book. If you want homemade Italian I can't stress enough DiFrancos. You can park in the garage for easy parking and not needing to pay for it.

    Fun for a fast casual Italian place! You order at the counter but food and drinks are brought to your table. Love that there's a free parking garage next door. Tried the carbonara, spaghetti chicken Parmesan, and a few appetizers (garlic bread, garlic broccoli and meatballs). Everything was delicious and we left very full and happy
