On man, we loved it. Everything about it! I got fettuccine alfredo and Meg got a combination plate. They started us off with some delicious sliced bread that was dense but light. The whipped garlic butter they served with it was divine. The bread presentation in and of itself could've been a meal. We would've been happy. They bought it out at the perfect temperature. Our actual meals didn't disappoint us either. The pasta was cooked just long enough so that it still had a little bit of bite left (as in the turgidity of it). The alredo sauce was sooo good. No too cheesy, not too creamy. Just the perfect balance.

Being that I don't drink wine, I ordered a delicious Italian orange soda with my meal that was a nice balance to the savory goodness described above.

The location was totally cool too. On a really cute street on the cute side (the South side) of Glenwood Springs. Right across the highway from the hot springs. The wait staff, so friendly. Small town feel. Felt like everyone there knew us even though it was our first time. We were told this place is where all the locals go, and we don't doubt it. It felt authentic and real. The floor was glazed brick.

Didn't Like:
Not much we didn't like, but the salad they started us off with was very average. The spamoni was delicous but they had scooped it out and put it in the freezer earlier in the day and so there was that thin layer of hard covering that forms on ice cream when you leave it in the freezer uncovered.

Location:
Glenwood Springs. Wish they had a closer location! We love Italian.
