Best Italian Restaurants in Highlands Ranch / Lone Tree

We had the Burrata Salsa Verde as our appetizer, a salad and 2 main courses of tomato basil spaghetti and Chicken Limone, along with dessert. We split our meal and still took home leftovers. We also each had 1 cocktail. I had the Bel Fiore cocktail which was vodka with violet liqueur it was delicious. Our entire meal was very good and we had excellent service. Our bill was $122 before tip. We will definitely go again.

My wife and I dined at Ya Ya's for our Valentines Day dinner. We both had wines we really liked, which were not unreasonably priced. For an appetizer we decided on the bruschetta, which was seemingly simple but absolutely fantastic! Crostini with a goat cheese dip and plenty of tomato salad with garlic and pesto - yum! We did, however, run out of bread before the rest, so they brought us more at a $3 up-charge. We were not really expecting the up-charge, but no worries, as the extra was worth it for us. For our entrees, my wife had the pasta carbonara, which she loved, and I had the baked lasagne, which I also loved. The piece of lasagne was HUGE, and I loved the flavors of the sausage and the sauce and cheeses. Not too spicy - just flavorful. We would both definitely order those again. For dessert, we had the panna cotta, which we ordered two of so we could enjoy it a second time for the next day's breakfast. The one thing which was less than perfect, at least for me, was that we were seated in the central area where they typically serve their brunches, instead of some of the cozier and more romantic seating areas. In a perfect world, we would have preferred the back right corner, but it was still fine. The ability to watch the kitchen and wait staff work did provide for some interesting entertainment.

The Maggiano side salad was large and very tasty. The waitress and upstairs manager (Alberto) were very "customer oriented". Sign up now for Thanksgiving reservation before they are all gone.

We have dined at several dozen Italian restaurants in Colorado over the last 40 years and Chianti is absolutely in the top one percent!! Phenomenal food and service at a very reasonable price. The tortelli all Pollo was the best my wife has ever had! Can't wait to return.

We love Venice! Super thrilled they extended the bar area so we could enjoy a drink while we waited for our table. The manager and staff are incredibly friendly. The food is the best Italian food in the metro area. We have been enjoying the food and ambiance for 15 years or more and are never disappointed!!
