I love this place! The food is absolutely excellent and the service is superb. The staff are friendly and only there when you need them. The decor is lovely as well. I honestly believe it is one of Denver's best restaurants - on par with all the other greats. We are fortunate that the Frasca people opened this one! Highly. highly recommend.

We enjoyed our first dining experience at Undici. Drinks, food, ambiance was all great. Combined, my husband and I have served over 20 years in restaurants and it’s always nice to have a special dining experience. We have already spoken highly of our experience to others and we will be back.

We are traveling from out of state and celebrated our 7 year anniversary on January 7th. Our server Marco was very efficient and made our experience a great one!! We were given warm bread with olive oil to start and once they found out we were there for our anniversary they gave us a free glass of champagne to start the evening off!! We had fresh salads as appetizers. I had the It was Aged Porterhouse Agnolotti pasta with a brown butter sauce and I think I cried at the first bite, it was so good. My husband had the NY strip with brussel sprouts, both cooked perfectly. Ended the evening with bowl of gelato, which was of course delicious and also complimentary for our anniversary. My one and only complaint was it was extremely loud in the dining area so we had to talk louder to hear each other, but very romantic atmosphere and everyone around us was laughing and having a great time!! 10/10 would recommend and go back!
