We enjoyed every plate we ordered. It was weekday, but restaurant was packed during dinner time. Make sure you make reservation ahead of time.
All of the wait staff and greeters were very attentive and helpful. Will be back for sure.

One of the best restaurants we have been to! We heard about Cranelli's from my coworker and thought it would be a good stop to celebrate my mom's birthday while in Denver. We were greeted by the owner Lasinda. The atmosphere was welcoming and also modern, whole in the wall feel. Right away I was blown away that the menu had labels for GF, DF, and vegan because I'm allergic to dairy and have never come across that. The drinks and food were amazing!! We loved that there were options for portion sizes. It was so delicious and fresh! You could tell love was put into the dishes. I've never seen my 5 year old eat like that, and I'm not sure he'll ever eat my tomato sauce from a jar spaghetti again. Lasinda made us feel like regulars, and stopped to say hi to everyone. We had such a great experience, we will be making the trek to go back. Definitely a favorite!

Cranelli's catering perfection! This past weekend I used Cranelli's catering for a baby shower with 50 attendees, my family and I enjoy the restaurant and this was my first time using their catering services. The delivery person (Julia) was there at the exact agreed upon time (I have had that not be the case at other events with different catering companies in the past so it was very appreciated), she quickly set everything up for the event and everyone loved the food! It was such a huge help to have all of the food delivered & set up while I took care of the fun stuff like decorating for the event. Reasonably priced too, I will definitely use them for my next event.

What a gem! Loved the food, the heated patio, the classic music, and the service. The garlic knots, eggplant parm, chicken marsala, and stuffed shells were yummy.

Excellent Italian restaurant.

Stopped in here for dinner and wasn't disappointed. The garlic knots were outstanding as everyone is correct in recommending them. The buratta also was very well done. I had the Caesar salad and the baked ziti for my main course. Had the canolli for dessert which was yummy. The flavors in both were spot on and not overwhelming. The wine we had was excellent too. Service was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. We got great recommendations and input on our choices. Overall highly recommended.

I’m reluctant to leave a review as I want to keep this place a secret and hog their exquisite pastas for myself. Cranelli’s has quickly become our go-to joint for Italian fare and I’m not kidding when I say you’ll want to lick the plate clean for almost any pasta dish you get! And our favorite part is that you can always get a half-portion, so you can try two different ones each time you go—(I highly recommend the Chicken Genovese, but you can’t miss with any of them really).

Service is always friendly and it’s very cool that they employ a lot of high school aged kids who work very hard to help keep the atmosphere clean and lively. Perfect for a date-night, big family gathering, or even just to sit at the bar solo for a drink and dish.

Pros: Top notch menu and service.

Cons: Very limited seating/parking (it fills up fast so make sure to make a reservation), small portions for happy-hour food (a con for a guy like me with a huge appetite but could be the perfect size for some).
