Panzano Restaurant is the ultimate best expierence when it comes to the bestbitalian food in Denver. It doesn't get any better then this. From the service as soon as you walk in to the food that enters the table. It blows my mind coming from a Chef myself that they can produce the highest quality dining expierence in all of Denver. Please do not sleep on this restaurant/expeierence. I always continue to show my support to this restaurant and there menu changes seasonally. I don't know how they do it but I love sitting at the chefs counter and watching masters at their craft. Shootout to everybody that makes it happen....Stephen Temple "chef de cuisine lakewood Country Club".

Pasta Mondays are the best idea! We made a reservation about a month and a half in advance. Definitely worth it as I overheard there was a 2 hour wait at 7:00pm. Food was delicious, service was great. Will be back.

This is extremely splurge-worthy. The service was some of the best we've ever had. Great options across the board, super creative drinks and food, beautiful setting. House made focaccia was beyond delicious. For gluten-free guests, they work hard to provide you lots of options too. We'll definitely be back, and if you haven't tried it yet, you should!
