Popular Littleton Italian Restaurants
When you’ve got a craving for Italian food, whether it’s traditional Old World recipes or Americanized pizza pie, Littleton Italian restaurants have plenty to offer in the way of quality. Here are some of the most popular Littleton Italian restaurants.
Il Fornaio
This high-end franchise is largely a California affair with Littleton claiming the only Colorado outlet. Il Fornaio bills itself as a culinary journey through all of Italy, from fresh brewed espresso to sumptuous pastas, meats and vegetables roasted over hot coals and drizzled with simmering sauces. A formidable wine selection and opulent decorations are all clues that this is not your uncle Vito’s corner café.
Romano's Italian Restaurant
Since 1967, Romano's Italian Restaurant has been serving family recipes from Old Italy in Littleton, including pizza, pasta, calzones, veal parmigiana and other traditional treats. The motto here is, “Our family serving your family.” The décor may not be anything fancy, but the cozy atmosphere is comfortable and authentic. Since the day grandfather Giovanni Romano pushed a street food cart in New York City a century ago, the family has made food their passion.
Bisetti's Ristorante
Another family restaurant with plenty of fans, Bisetti’s Ristorante is the birthright of Heather and Robert Bisetti, who took over the restaurant from Robert’s parents. For more than 30 years, Bisetti’s has been known as a family-friendly place serving pasta and other Italian dishes made with the freshest of ingredients. It’s the sort of place where you don’t have to ask if the tiramisu is made in-house.
Angelina's Italian Restaurant
The executive chef at Angelina's Italian Restaurant trained at a famous restaurant in Italy, so you know the food here is authentic. The owner often walks around the restaurant, stopping at each table to chat about the meal, lending the place a comfortable, familiar feel. The M.O. at Angelina’s is simple: old Italian favorites made from scratch every day with the finest, freshest ingredients available.
Virgilio's Pizzeria & Wine Bar
This hip, modern take on the traditional Italian pizzeria includes a slick bar stocked with more than 60 varieties of wine. The outdoor patio is always hopping when the weather is warm enough. The namesake owner was born in Naples and learned from his mother to treat every meal as an event. Choose from a variety of pasta dishes and pizzas, or take the challenge of eating a 28-inch pizza, “The Hugilio,” in under two hours for a $1,000 cash prize!
