I first started eating at Gaetano's when I moved to the Highlands area a few years ago. The first thing I noticed was a shrine to Sinatra who appearently ate at this place in 1966 during a trip through Denver. After tastind the food, I think Frank made the right choice choice. This is some of the best Italian food I've had anywhere, and not just locally. The restaurant has since changed hands (our mayor supposedly one of the new ones), but the food is still every bit as good and some of the same staff is in place. Gone unfortunatly, is the "Sinatra wall" as well as an original 45 jukebox which got smashed when a SUV plowed into the building, forcing some renovating to the west facing wall and corner. I also understand they've recently extended their hours.

Excellent home-made pasta (the carbonara was great), creative cocktails, lovely bread.

I thought the food was good. Oysters were fresh, not a huge fan of the casino clams, but the meatballs were good and so was the bolognese.

Came here for brunch which was solid, but nothing special.

Great atmosphere and superb food.

Possibly one of the most authentic, old-world, traditional Italian eateries in Denver. It has the ambiance, food and drinks to make it great
by Steve M.
I've been coming here for 20 years and am thoroughly disappointed in what this place has become. Steer clear if you want to cherish the old Gaetano's.

Alfredo was perfect

Pasta Carbonara is so smooth and delicious!
by Olga R.
I have been here close to 20 times and have yet to be disappointed by a dish. The best food was by far a special steak with gorgonzola sauce. If you like great Italian you will love this place.

When in doubt, go with dishes flavored by the old-school Gaetanoâs, including meatballs (offered both as an app and a side), lasagna and gnocchi

The spaghetti and ravioli were subpar ... even cold. The risotto croquettes, however, were yum.

Great ambiance, amazing food in a Denver institution... Start at the bar... Tony is an awesome bartender, hell the whole staff is great!

You just can't go wrong here. Everything I've ever eaten, I'd order again and again! Sausage and peppers....heaven.
by Anthony R.
Really good food, a little pricey but worth it
by Hilary H.
The menu covers a lot of ground. The pasta carbonara was an excellent take on that classic, and for dessert, the tiramisu stood out. They've got local beers are on tap and the cocktails are exemplary

Buzz is gone so is the fun.

The mixologist here is amazing! Ask Tony to make your drink and he will give you all the details. Let him make you a special drink and pair it with the cheese fondue!

Get a drink at the bar. Let Tony make something for you!
