As we walked through the beautiful old doors of this lovely restaurant, we were greeted by the elegantly gowned woman at the hostess stand. Kayla was so gracious as she found us a table, even though this was a last minute decision and no reservation. The restaurant was busy with the theater crowd. Kayla's flawless welcome set the stage for a superb evening. Carlos was our server. His recommendation of dining from the theatre menu gave us a great sense of the quality and depth of care this restaurant provides its patrons. We enjoyed every bite. Carlos knows how to care for a table with grace and humor. The hospitality at Panzano was second to no one. Delightful experience; we'll be back! Thanks again, Bill & Kirk

Delicious! It's been a long time since we have come here and just have to say WOW! The food was incredible and the gluten free pasta was well done. I got to the butternut squash ravioli and cherished every bite. We also really enjoyed the cocktail list and the sorbet. Great pre theater experience! Highly recommend!

We had a great time here. We had a fairly large group and they took great care of us. Everyone had great things to say about their food. I ordered pasta that wasn't on the menu, it was shrimp with a white wine sauce and spinach. I thought it was really good but the noodles were extremely starchy. So starchy that it made my teeth feel weird. Overall, it was a great experience

I had dinner at Panzano last night. The Brussels sprouts appetizer was amazing. The salmon with farro risotto was excellent. The dark chocolate custard was very good. I highly recommend.

We sat at the bar for a quick dinner prior to going to a show at DCPA. We had the Brussels sprouts which were so very good, and split the bolognese which I wish we had more time to enjoy but we were in a rush! Would definitely love to go again when we have more time. The cons to mention are that the decor is cold and boring and the lobby of the hotel smells like pee... not sure if that was a one time thing when we were there or if it always smells so bad.

I'm not sure how I missed the Denver institution that is Panzano, but I did and I'm so glad that is no longer the case. It was truly giving Sopranos when I dined recently - only in the sense that this is absolutely a place to bring your whole family on a Sunday night for a fantastic Italian meal. My friend and I took part in their 4 course Chef's Tasting Menu with wine pairing which was SO good and was actually a LOT of food! We didn't know what we were getting into, so we ordered cocktails and their House Bread Service to start which were both also delightful. I'm not sure how often they change up their Tasting Menu (if at all), but if you're unsure of what to order, trust the Chef and get in on this. Our 4 courses below: 1) Insalata di Caesar - romaine, white anchovy, parmesan, house-made croutons - so fresh and crisp. Ours actually had butter lettuce which was somehow better? The best way to start the meal. 2) Bolognese - campanelle, veal + pork, ricotta salata - I'm not the biggest red sauce gal, but I would absolutely order this Bolognese over and over again. 3) Pollo alla Cacciatore - roasted half chicken, san marzano tomato, olive, caper, bell pepper, oyster mushroom, crispy polenta - Did you think the Bolognese was our main meal? Because I did for a sec - already quite full when this came out, but this was delightful. Perfectly cooked chicken and the flavors! 4) Tiramisu - lady finger, espresso bean, amaretto mascarpone, cocoa powder - classic and SO delicious! A big ol' serving came out for each of us too. It's inside Hotel Monaco, but it definitely stands on its own. Whether you're dining with the whole family or want to go on a romantic date, definitely don't pass this place up when you're downtown. *This was a hosted experience for us, but I would 100% dine here again on my own dime any day.

Last night, we caught up with some friends at Panzano. It's right around the corner from us. I remember being in this restaurant years ago. It's that type of food where you just close your eyes and experience. I really appreciate that. A good chef can express his or her artistry through a gastronomic journey. The GM manager was Julia or Julie (forgive me if I pronounce your name wrong) and the hostess Brian, a true salesman of this restaurant. I had Brussels sprouts as my main meal. Look, Mama, I'm growing up finally! I want to thank you, Julia and Brian, and all of the staff for making it a memorable night for our stomachs as well as our hearts.

Solid choice for a nice dinner out in downtown Denver. On the pricy side, but nice menu choices throughout and a nice wine list selection. Wait staff are incredibly attentive, friendly, and informed with recommendations and information about the food & beverage offerings. We tried the arancini (definitely recommend), burrata (ok, it was fried which took away from the pure taste but paired nicely with sweet tomatoes), and eggplant for my main dish (photo doesn't do it justice, it was beautiful and super tasty). Other nice salad and dessert options but we didn't have room because of the generous portion sizes. Nice ambiance too:)
