Chose Shells and Sauce for its diverse menu that caters to both pasta-lovers and vegetable lovers. This place had been highly recommended by a large number of people. I liked the interior of this local bistro. Very intimate. Brought friends, a newly engaged couple from L.A., who were captivated by the - typical to us - older Denver neighborhood of turn of the century brick homes. Earlier we visited Denver Botanic Gardens and came here for dinner. Each of us had special preferences. The chicken piccata was very good. My friend and I had a chopped salad with salmon, and more veggies. Whipped potatoes, broccolini, and fresh spinach Good coffee for dessert. Perfect ending to a perfect day. Our waitress - Brit - a vivacious grad student - was wonderful. It was fun to introduce newcomers to the old neighborhood charm of a local restaurant, something Denver has been known for throughout the years.

I've ate here a couple of TIMES, WHEN IN DENVER. Always excellent. They have outdoor dining, so we enjoyed the weather. They have a happy hour menu and they call them mini meals. And that's what it is. Two of us had the salmon. Cooked perfect and with mashed potatoes. I had the crab cake appetizer. Two crab cakes loaded with meat! And a side sauce that was excellent. I could go on, but I won't. You won't be disappointed.

Great local Italian restaurant. Small dining room so make a reservation or go early. I missed happy hour but it looked great. They serve mini pasta dishes for happy hour food and have wine and beer specials. I had the Bolognese and it was fantastic. Also recommend the Carbonara and Shrimp Diavolo. One odd choice. My dad asked for salt and pepper and instead of bringing over a grinder or shaker they brought little packets. Maybe COVIDism?
