DiCicco's Italian Restaurant Reviews

I brought my staff there for a team dinner and the food was good but they crammed 9 of us onto 2 tables, so it was a bit tight for smaller tables. We were cozy and that would have been fine, but on a very expensive bill, they tacked on an extra $18 because I paid with a card. I know that legally they can do that, but frankly on a bill that was well over $400 I find that irritating and that they didnt mention they were doing it either bothers me. Everyone liked the food and the service was very good as well. The staff was attentive, but they are losing 2 stars because they weren't transparent about the extra charge and that they charge that at all because it's a bit ridiculous to do so!

Amazing dishes and well-priced. We never knew this place existed and I'm glad we found it!

The portions are small for the $33 dollars I was charged for my dinner entree. The pasta sauce was bland with little seasoning. The whole restaurant is old and needs a deep cleaning. Would not recommend to anyone. Drive a little farther into downtown for better tasting food and a lower price.

The food was great and our waiter was the best...he knew the dishes and wine..I will go again the next time I'm in Denver..

We came here because there was a wait somewhere else & were pleasantly surprised. Musician was fabulous & food was very good. Nice atmosphere.

They charge you 3.95% for using a Credit Card and the do not tell you about it. S Shows up on your bill as a "non

A bit expensive (which is to be expected since it's located near the Denver International Airport) but the food is good and the service is exceptional.

I visited a bit past the lunch hour. Not too busy. Nice, different atmosphere. Food was good and didn't take too long. Service was good. Personal preference: find a way for butter that can spread on bread. Provide an option for receipt that is not itemized.

Terrible service and okay food. The waitress made our lunch twice as long as we would have liked. And the Italian food was an attempt, but didn t quite hit the mark of good food.

Great Italian food and great service. Saturday evenings live music and dancing.

Excellent service and awesome gluten free food! They are very accommodating for those with celiac.

Tasty food but I wouldn't call it fine dining. Definitely a fun "experience". A bit over priced. The kids love it and I feel like it's a visit to the past.

Excellent place with great customer service !
Cory was our server and did an outstanding job .

Wonderful food, great atmosphere. The owner met us at the front desk and then checked in with us at the end of the meal to get our feedback and suggest additional entrees to try at our next visit. The calzone I had was delicious. Will definitely go back next time I'm in Denver.

The Seafood Fettuccine was amazing. Very fresh because it is flown into DIA.
Our waiter, Shannon was extremely attentive and helpful. We will be back.

Got the Margherita pizza. Was very salty and had visible salt. We sat at the bar and when the bartender asked how we liked the food I told him it was salty but he immediately goes on about how they don't salt pizza. OK

Food was very good and the interior is very nice. I did not give it all 5 starts because the wait time was long for everything from the waitress we had. There were just my table and two other tables for most of our visit which is why i could not understand what was taking the waitress so long to take our orders, get our drinks when my mother ordered water and I had a hot tea. I saw people who came in after us get their dinner before us.

Don't do it. This was the strangest restaurant I have ever been to. It smells like mothballs and socks with decor that is outdated and confusing at best. My husband's alfredo tasted like garlic and sadness and my cheese pizza was less tasty then gas station food. Our waiter enjoyed recreational marijuana which made him less than helpful and when asking for a drink refill, I swear he almost told me "no." Do yourself a solid and eat anywhere else.

Very good Italian. We came with a large group so service was slow, but was to be expected.

We came here after a long road trip as it is across from our hotel. We were greeted in a friendly manner and seated at a booth. I felt a little rushed and my hubby and I both ordered the pasta and lasagna - It was smothered in sauce and there was no cheese- just mushy pasta! Mediocre at best- same quality as an Olive Garden with a much heftier price tag! Don t waste your $$ -

Wasn't terrible. Boring. Server was so so & looking kind of grungy. He also had a bun. Not really fitting.

Ok, still amazing visits to this restaurant. Picked up family at DIA, short trip on Tower Road and there you are...a relaxing place to enjoy a family dinner.

Food was a three, maybe even only a two for me to be honest. It was overpriced quite a bit in my opinion. The atmosphere was on point though. Could see it being very nice when having live music.

The service can be a bit slow, but the food is excellent.

I feel like most of the good reviews on here are from the employees. The food is disgusting! No flavor, and the chicken smelled really bad! And the prices were so high. 5 stars my foot!

Oh me, oh my...this place is incredible! Not only was the service outstanding, the food is ridiculously good! It's like someone's Italian grandmother is back in the kitchen cooking up all of her family's best recipes. I cannot believe this restaurant is an airport neighborhood place, what an absolute gem!

Love this place. The atmosphere is fun, unique and Italian. The service could be better. Plenty of room for improvement. The food is delicious. I love the big screen with the videos playing. I bet it's fun & enjoyable with live music too.

Great food! I had the spinach tortellini with artichoke and it was to die for. A little pricey, but you pay for quality. Staff was great! Hopefully you will get a chance to visit this great restaurant.

Delicious Italian food! Huge portions, amazing flavor, and incredible staff. The owner was working and was so kind! We stopped here during a layover in Denver and plan to come back when we fly back!

Most awesome restaurant from the music entertainment to delicious food.

If you re near the Denver International Airport heading out, be sure to stop by this great Italian restaurant! Great menu and great food one of the best we ve found in our travels. Any time we are in the Denver area we make sure we come by. We ve been coming here for years.

Give them a try! You ll love it!

Interesting ambience with good food and wine choices. Here with a large group of about 25 and the service was good as well.

Nice family atmosphere & food. Friday night they have a piano player come play from 5:30-9

Helpful friendly staff, good gluten free options. We especially enjoy their Italian sausage and their shrimp dishes.

Beautiful place.. I'm front office manager of hotel closer .. Amazing

Ordered delivery. 2 Star food at best. Salad only had tomatoes and lettuce. calamari was over breaded and rubbery. fettuccine Alfredo was good noodles are thick like homemade bread was delicious. I would not order from here again because the price is way too costly for the quality of food.

Beautiful establishment, pasta is really good not overcooked great sauce. The owner gave me a tour of his restaurant, beautiful, highly recommended!!!

The waiter we had was great and the food was delicious. The atmosphere was a little bleak.

Great food, amazing building and awesome customer service, definitely will visit again

I have to say that in general all Italian food I have tried (not many) in Colorado is American Italian food, not real Italian food. A lot of cream, Maybe more than needed. But service was good, and the infrastructure is amazing. Nice decoration. Only 4 stars because it is too expensive for the quality.

I have to say, I was excited to go here last night. The veal was dry and the mozzarella was baked to a crisp on one side. The service was ok. At one point, I asked the waiter if he got lost. He just laughed. The lasagna looked and tasted like it was a frozen dinner. Got the bill and was extremely disappointed. Don't mind paying a hundred for dinner, but would have been better to go to Olive Garden. At least their food tastes fresh. Unfortunately, can't recommend this place.

Arrived in Denver airport on our way to Vail, we wanted to have real food rather than airport fast food. I suggest to skip this place no matter how hungry you are from a flight. Overpriced mediocre food and this is big coming from a New Yorker. They also have fee on sharing plates which is unheard of. Mind you I am sharing a pasta with a 2 yr old. So much for Family oriented and they call their business an Italian restaurant.

Dispite the terrible yelp reviews and being pushed out by an extremely rude woman in a red wig while trying to dine in a few months ago, I ordered takeout just to be left just as disappointed as everyone in the reviews. Not worth the money or poor service.

Costs W-A-A-A-A-Y too much. Your money is much better spent at olive garden. The meals were so expensive we split one and they wanted $3 for the extra plate Everything is ala carte {also wa-a-a-a-ay overpriced} which increases the cost. There was an odor in the restaurant as well, a foul smell, like sewage or something. Also did not like how our waitress selected her own tip. The noodles are not homemade, and Olive Garden and/or Spaghetti Factory have nothing to worry about.

It's okay. Friendly staff but my pasta was undercooked. Sadly there's no cannoli.

Food was acceptable, service was great ambiance was different. I really like the booths. They help dampen noise and made for a much nicer dinner experience for some one with difficulty hearing, I liked that. But going out to eat comes back to the food, and this was not up to par even for American style Italian. And the wine selection was dismal. There are over 2000 wineries producing chianti wine in the region of Italy. Not even going in to all the other styles of Italian wine. Thier selection is mostly not Italian wine. But really for the quality of food they should have been charging half the price.

This DiCicco's Italian Restaurant is one of a great restaurant.Good food and the place is i loved it.

I didn t have any expectations of a restaurant tucked amongst a bunch of mid-tier hotels by the airport, but I quite enjoyed my meal here. Had the Veal Marsala with extra vegetables. Tasty and tender. American Italian with all the standards you would expect. Decent wine selection. Gluten free pasta was a surprise for a Celiac in our group. And while the entry looks like the reception at a Holiday Inn, the two story man dining room was a fun space for a lively meal. Excellent friendly service once we sat down.

The atmosphere here is amazing! Excellent Italian food!

Wow. A great dining experience, ambiance, service... I couldn't ask for more.

First time visitor- in town on business and needed a place to eat. Ruby Tuesday's had a 30 minute wait (for a single!?!) so I walked across the street and checked out DiCicco's.
Glad I did! Gotta admit my first impression wasn't great because it felt like the staff was overwhelmed to get the spillover business from RT's. I wasn't the only one who decided to chance it and it felt like we all piled in at once. Tables and bar needed to be bussed before I could sit and the two servers at the bar seemed to be scurrying about in a flurry. The place really wasn't busy enough to warrant them being so behind but once I sat down and began to read the menu I was glad I stopped in.
Really, really good menu of italian dishes. As I was looking it over I was treated to a warm bread basket - holy smokes the bread was soft, chewy and went great with salted butter!!
I chose the angel hair pasta tossed in tomato chunks and olive oil. So good! Piping (and I mean damn near nuclear) hot!! Delicious!!
The meal made me overlook the initial service hiccup and I just settled in to enjoy the pasta, tear off chunks of bread to sop up the olive oil, and sip from a cold local brew.
Couple of suggestions: they have a lovely wine list but I'm not a wine guy. Put together a list of your craft beers to aid us beer guys.
Also, I noticed the small print on your menu that said your prices were based on a cash transaction and that credit cards would see an extra 3.95% tacked on. I wasn't surprised when the bill came but I observed at least 2 other patrons who were...might want to re-think the need for tacking on that extra %.

Great food and authentic atmosphere. Excellent service.

Our flight home to Florida was cancelled, had to wait 2 days, stayed at a hotel across from DiCicco's, so we decided to go. It's a beautiful building especially inside! A huge screen had a concert by Andre Rieu, I enjoyed a wonderful birthday meal, service was friendly and fast. Try this place if you get the chance!

Been here several times. Great atmosphere! Good food, good service, a little bit on the pricey side. Great for a special occasion or date night.

The dining experience here is strange. You are seated in an area for live music and DVDs are played on a projector of Italian music or concerts. It's weird but I figured as long as the food turns out ok I'll be a fan. I ordered a combo plate which was 4 ravioli, a slice of lasagna, and some spaghetti. It came out on a plate that was literally a giant blob of marinara. So much sauce you could not see the food. When I figured out where the food was, it was actually pretty tasty. The sauce was good too, just about 2 1/2 cups too much. The spaghetti was a little underdone for my taste, but it was decently good.

I would not recommend this place because the ambiance is off-putting, the food is not served in a way that allows you to enjoy it, and the price was on the high end.

The food is excellent the wait staff is even better

This place offers great selection and wonderful service. The fettuccine al bianco was very tasty and the ravioli marsala was outstanding. We recommend this restaurant.

It's pretty good. The price was a bit high by the time they delivered. The delivery driver was a bit scary looking. It was dinner, I would not order it again.

Delicious authentic Italian food served in an inviting environment.

My favorite place when I'm in Denver. The food is delicious, the service is great, and the atmosphere makes you feel like you're somewhere else

Excellent, food,
, service and ambiance

This restaurant is across the street from the Home2Suites by the Denver Airport. I have been here two times and have not been disappointed.

It has a neat Italian feel to the decor, with multiple levels for seating. At the far end is a screen with classic musical performances showing. There is also a stage, so I am guessing they have live music occasionally.

The food is out of this world. This time I ordered the Seafood Fettuccine. It was out of this world. Just the right sized portion and the flavor was unforgettable.

Next time I am spending the night waiting to get to the airport I will be coming back.

Slow service and the waiter forgot to bring us several items in our menu. Waited for 30 minutes to be seated after our reservation and then had to wait another 25 minutes to order. After ordering it took 35 minutes to get our food... this place sucks.

Beautiful restaurant, great staff, great food. Perfect for a fancy date nite.

Belated birthday party with family, excellent staff great live music. Thanks again.

We went thinking why not try a local place. I will never go there again. The hostess seated us in a booth and we were forgotten for at least 10 minutes, maybe more. I flagged down one of the servers to let him know we were waiting for a waitstaff. it took another 5 minutes and he did not realize someone delivered bread and had seated us.
The bread was the first hint that it may be sub-par Italian. The bread that was served was spongy lack of flavor no crust. It was called "homemade." It was a slap together fast bread that I would expect from the supermarket, not from a restaurant. The main meal was not very impressive either for the price. We were told that we could have the fresh made pasta for $3 more or the standard pasta. for the price it should have been the fresh pasta as a given. the bolognese had a little better flavor than the fettuccine with shrimp and scallops.
Very disappointing. Furnishings and large screen tried to make it old school but I have been to old school Italian, this was not "old school."

Good service, nice history and place. Everybody else liked the food but me...

Very good love the spaghetti if u read this go try it out
There s very nice music which I enjoy

What a weird place.. chose this place cause it was close to the airport definitely not a good choice.. has a weird old vibe like a strip club turned into a restaurant with outdated everything.. our waiter and fresh bread were amazing other than that food was wayyyyyy over priced
