Great Food & Service @ a Great Price

by fxoffroad at Citysearch

This restaurant is a no-brainer. It's a slam-dunk if you're looking for great food at a great price. The staff is good, attentive and almost always fun. The food - always good, bordering on exceptional, with a chef who clearly has a handle on great flavor and portions that seem spot-on.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

• Pros: Great Food... at a reasonable price
• Cons: None.

The best restaurant in Cherry Creek

by writeon1 at Citysearch

I really enjoy Cucina Colore for reasonably priced, well-proportioned, fresh, authentic Italian food. The service is brisk, the food is delicious and the interior feels modern and inviting. It's also a real summer pleasure to dine al fresco for lunch in particular. The wine list is pleasant and the place is lacking in pretension, which is nice. I've eaten here several times over the years and have never been disappointed. In short, it is a really convenient, sophisticated yet affordable place to have lunch, dinner or dessert.

• Pros: Relaxed, fresh and contemporary

Great place for wine and desert, but NOT for a date!

by Nancy1213 at Citysearch

I am new to Denver, and was looking for a place to have a first date. One of my girlfriends suggested Cucina Colore, and I decided to take a chance on it. Now, while it seems like a very enjoyable place to dine, it is not the right place for a date.

Firstly, while the ambience is nice, it is VERY loud inside. Secondly, the tables are very close together, and it feels impersonal and akward when trying to hold 'romantic' conversation. Thirdly (and on a more silly note), there are just too many women on the staff, and very attractive women at that! From the haunting hostess to our vivaciously gorgeous waitress, my date (and even myself) could not help but have wandering eyes! The service was good though, and we were warmly taken care of. The wine list was also moderatly priced (a rare find these days), and the dessert (a delvilshly good peach bread pudding) was fun to share.

Cucina Colore is much better suited for a girls night-out where noise and a crowd won't be a problem, or possibly for lunch (where I am assuming it is less crowded).

• Pros: Warm service, affordable wine, delicious dessert.
• Cons: Impersonal, loud, distracting.
