In Short
The dining room decor features ivy strung with white lights and a fireplace casting a warm, comfortable glow on dark-wood accents. People crowd the bar even on weeknights, while romancing couples and high-class diners fill the tables. Starters include a bowl of lightly battered calamari, scallops and shrimp with creamy sauce. For entrees there's the puttanesca with kalamata olives and grilled sardines. Pan-seared rack of lamb arrives tende and crusted with black pepper and spice.

Let me start this way. I know Italian food, was raised and grew up with it!! I tried this place , because friends kept telling me to go there for dinner. Here is the menu I had with my comments!! - Salad with duck, goat and toma cheese as an appetizer: I haven't even tasted the toma cheese!!!! - First course "Risotto alla Milanese con Gamberetti": the worst risotto I ever had, basically no zafran, too much basil and onions, and over cooked rice. Even worst the rice was not an original Carnaroli Rice as listed in the menu, but a fake arborio rice instead. - Main course "Maiale Arrosto ai Funghi, Spinaci, Formaggio e Cipolline": acceptable in taste and preparation, but nothing special. - Dessert "Quartetto di Caramello": pretty good, but easy to prepare. - Wine : White Chardonnay and Barbaresco... both very good. In summary the food taste is way below average and not even close to real and good Italian food. I would not recommend this place to anyone, it is too expensive for the price they ask. Maybe for 30$/person including wine!!!! The wine cart is impressive and good, but that is easy to do. Cheers!!

We had a great server. Risotto and gnocchi were very good, strip steak tender but very salty. Great wine list. Food was good but not knock you sock off I need to go back soon great. Crowd seemed to be older and snooty. Owner was making the rounds but never bothered to talk to us.

Barolo is a very nice environment but way out of line for the quality. It is a great location and has nice ambiance, which is why they can get away with criminal prices. We took some dear friends there for dinner for their bi rthdays. What a disappointment. Trust me, I have dined at the some of the finest in the world from the UK, France, The Mesa Grill in NYC, Marie Elaine?s in Scottsdale and have never been so insulted as at the Barolo Grill. First the scallop appetizer (1 scallop) was average for $10.00. Then I had the blue marlin (over cooked on a bed of carrots). Come on, we spent over $500.00 for a dinner for four and I had to make something decent to eat when I got home. The wine list was a bit intimidating but we picked a nice Barolo at $100.00. I have tasted better wine at $24.00 a bottle. Please save your palette and go to Zengo, Vita, or The old neighborhood restaurant in Arvada for a better meal at a much better value.
