Behind the counter, you’ll often find the owner chatting with guests, sharing stories, or enthusiastically discussing the passion poured into every dish.

Yesterday I had the most wonderful experience at this friendly Italian restaurant. I brought my dog Archie with me. We were treated like family. I ordered the freshly made pasta special. The owner Paul connected with me and Archie and shared his passion for food, hospitality, and community. Breakfast is also amazing! Dog treats are always available.

I've driven past here so many times thinking.... we should stop and try this sometime. So we finally did and it wasn't a let down. I'll be it, my expectations are set quite high so I'm not gonna say anything wild like "this is the best sandwich I've ever had", simply because it isn't. But it was very good!!! The pastrami was on point because there's a lot of places that lack good pastrami. The sandwich had great flavor and the bread was just right. The cannoli was as expected, which I've never had one that wow'd me. The price is definitely up there. Nearly 20 dollars for a sandwich but you have to remember this isn't some fast food joint that mass produces garbage. Plus the staff here is much more personable and friendly than some places. In the end I'd recommend stopping in to grab a bite if you're in the area, I don't think you will regret it.

Don't sleep on this place! The food and service is absolutely wonderful. Extremely friendly and kind staff, very thorough with taking orders. I had fettuccine with La Rosa sauce, and it was absolutely delicious! My husband got fettuccine with their white clam sauce, and was very impressed with the taste and presentation with the whole clams. We also both loved the flavorful meatballs. The portions were very sizable, great value for the price! Our to-go food was thoughtfully packaged and labeled. I have gotten their tortellini salad and Gelato previously, and both are delicious and made with care. My only critiques are: I wish they had a space to sit down and eat inside, if so, we'd be there weekly! (This is the only reason for the 4 stars on atmosphere- small space to order inside, so much to look at) They would absolutely crush as the best Italian food in Fort Collins with a sit down restaurant, even it was fast casual. The menu is a bit overwhelming and hard to navigate, but they have so many yummy looking things I want to try next!

I ordered dinner from Gelato and Amore (Paul's other company) prior to ordering a catered pre-Thanksgiving meal. We "Auditioned" their chicken parm, chicken piccata, chicken marsala and the meatballs. They were all great and it was hard to narrow down what we wanted for the pre-Thanksgiving dinner. After reading the other reviews, I can't wait to go back and try their pizza!

Absolutely amazing! The best pizza I've ever had. I've traveled the United States and originally from Atlanta and I have never had pizza this good. I have eaten breakfast, lunch and dinner here since yesterday. I left here in disbelief that I found the best pizza in the world. I've contacted some friends about it to let them know. I'm now telling everyone this is the best pizza you can find. The breakfast I had this morning was just as good. You get free coffee that's amazing. If you think about it the breakfast i had was around $6 the coffee is worth that much so it's like getting free breakfast with your coffee. Now to the Cannoli......I have flown to New York for cannoli before. I love them this much. These are better. The best. Some people refer to someone as the man, the myth, the legend. I've came to refer to the person behind this culinary work of art as the deity of the culinary arts. Everything on this menu is a masterpiece. As Poseidon is to the sea and Apollo is to music, Paul Pellegrino is to food. I don't think in a hundred lifetimes I could ever dream up the creations that they serve here. If you believe like I do that love can be shown through food this guy is the Cupid of this industry.

Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to this place! We've had the cold Italian sandwich and several pasta dishes and every one of them has been phenomenal! I'll be back for a hot sandwich since I saw someone walk out with one that looked great. The woman behind the counter was friendly and offered up recommendations because the menu is so extensive. There are so many things I can't wait to try!

First time in, and we were super impressed. A lil pricey.. but big portions! My husband's veal was pretty tough. I didn't get a picture. I'm from Chicago and give them for their Italian beef. The giardiniera tastes homemade! My little loved their slice. The pastry we started with was SO good. I believe it was filled with marzipan. I do wish the staff knew a little more about the available items. Service is VERY nice, and willing to go ask themselves, so she absolutely handled it professionally! I swear I saw a Nonna back there
