Café Jordano is hands down one of the best Italian restaurants in the Denver area! The food is absolutely incredible, and every dish we've had has been bursting with authentic flavor. The sauces are so amazingly delicious that there have been times I've wanted to lick the plate clean—but I resisted... barely! That's how good the food is. The servers are friendly, fast, and efficient, making every visit enjoyable from start to finish. Whenever we have friends or family visiting, Café Jordano is always at the top of our list. It's one of those places we're excited to share because we know everyone will leave happy. Whether you're a local or just visiting Denver, this restaurant is a must-stop destination. Outstanding food, excellent service, and a consistently wonderful dining experience every time. We can't recommend Café Jordano highly enough!
Great place! Super friendly service. We met the owner and she told us dune history of the pics on the wall. If your in Denver CO, it's well worth the trip to cafe jordano
The food was very tasty and potion size is huge. The service was excellent! They customized the food to meet our dietary restrictions very happily!
OMG the food was so good! I ordered takeout for the family after a rough day. Julia took my call and my order and was so so nice! I was so excited to get my food when I came in. She was so sweet and my food was packaged perfectly. It was hot and delicious and the portions were generous. Everything was incredible but that lobster ravioli will have me coming back. I've got tiramusu in the fridge, my favorite dessert of all time and I cannot wait to dig in! I'm really looking forward to coming to dine in soon. Thanks again Julia for the great experience.
Bobs Favorite is my favorite. Try it with gnocchi. The tiramisu martini is an excellent after dinner drink. Great food. Excellent service. Wish I had such a great Italian restaurant where I lived. Definitely check it out.
We stumbled across this gem and had a great experience. It has a nice homey feel and we were welcomed quickly, sitting in the cocktail area. For late afternoon on a random Tuesday the place was bustling. The Karma's favorite served over noodles and preceded by an included house salad had depths of savory flavors. So rich, creamy with juicy chicken. Fantastic soup also accompanied our other entree. The lasagna was a wall suitable to keep Genghis Khan at bay. Layer upon layer of noodle, cheeses, and sausage. Jose was so helpful for my first time. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to find out how full you can be.
One of my dads favorite places to visit. It did not disappoint! Their meatballs were delicious! Pasta was cooked well and everyone enjoyed their entrees
Cafe Jordano will always be one of my favorite restaurants in the whole world. It is a must try if you are in the area or even if you aren't, make the trip. I live in Grand Junction but each time I'm in Denver it's an absolute on the agenda. I have been visiting Cafe Jordano for just over 25 years now and its amazing every single time. The food is outstanding, the staff is so welcoming they make you feel like family. There is no wrong choice on the entire menu. The Tequila sunset drink is heavenly. My absolute favorite dish is to get the Pollo Alla Romano but I swap the chicken for the delicious eggplant they make. The salads are so good, the Gnocchi with cream sauce is great and the desserts are so tasty. The Cannoli and Tiramisu are something we have to always get so be sure to try to save room.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐ This place was phenomenal! Our service was excellent, food was DELICIOUS, and I cant wait to go back again. We were looking to have a nice dinner out without breaking the bank and this family owned gem hit all the right notes. No frills, simple quality with an atmosphere that keeps people coming back. 5 stars all around! 👏
It's apparent why this restaurant was completely full at 5pm on a weekend. It has a welcoming feel and you can tell the staff care for regulars and are well trained. Service was great and attentive. Our food was really tasty. Sometimes Calamari can be very hit or miss in Landlocked Colorado. This was well fried, great texture and the sauce was flavorful. My main of Rigatoni was perfectly cooked pasta and their sauce was very good. My only complaint and this might be personal preference- the meat ball had a lot of bread in it and kind of had an odd texture. My sons chicken cutlet was also really tasty and not too dry. All in all easy to recommend Cafe Jordano - try it if you are in the neighborhood.
