Cranelli's Italian restaurant

Service was phenomenal! The food was delicious. We ordered the garlic knots to start off with, and they were amazing! I had the clams & linguine in a garlic sauce & it was so flavorful! My hubby tried the chicken alfredo which he said was great. The chicken was grilled perfectly. We didn't have reservations which I would highly recommend you make if you want to try this place out, because it's so small you should plan ahead. The patio was nice, and they supply nice little blankets in case it gets to cold for you. They had a very nice wine list, and also serve mixed drinks. We didn't have any dessert because we were stuffed!

Loved the experience we had. It was our first time trying this place and at first we were a little unsure because of how small it seemed but it was absolutely amazing. We were greeted right away and asked to have a seat while they prepared out our table, while waiting a gentleman came out of the kitchen to offer something to drink, (we had been waiting for about 2 minutes) and then we were seated. Uncle Bob (our server) was very nice and genuine, brought over complementary garlic knots for it being our first time and recommended what he liked best on the menu. Once we ordered and got our food, I tried my boyfriends dish (the chicken parmigiana) and absolutely loved it so much that although my plate was good I asked if it would be possible for me to get the same as him. Uncle bob was great and super understanding and totally took care of it taking back my plate and bringing me the chicken parmigiana while still not charging us for all 3 plates. While we were eating we had another gentleman stop and ask if we needed anything else and how our food was, then at the end of our meal a blonde hair lady went over to ask how our visit had been. Definitely loved the service and how attentive everyone was. We live in commerce city/reunion area but will definitely be making the drive down to eat here.

I'll tell you right now. They are very accommodating to reservations and call ahead. Please do this as it's a small full service restaurant that gets very busy because it is very good. Parking can be trouble some, however I parked across the street at the University of Phoenix with no issues. Okay on to the review. This is a perfect representative of what Italian Hospitality is. They love food, love talking about food, love talking to you, and no matter what the position is in the joint they all are kind. I enjoyed the food so much I opted to buy the kitchen a round for $10. The cook, Tyler personally came out and thanked us. He's great. The kitchen works hard to fit this crowd! Is it the best Italian food I've ever had? I'd say no, however it was VERY good and I could tell the care they put into each dish I tried. I will definitely return and I invite you to do the same.

A small place with delicious home-made Italian dishes made by family. The staff are warm and welcoming, making you feel right at home. It sits right off Park Meadows Drive in a small plaza, so parking can be tricky. BUT! This place is worth the wait. Highly recommend this place.

You HAVE to eat at Cranelli’s. Two reasons: the food and the people. The servers take the time to explain the dishes to you which means they really make their food with love and you can tell when you get it. This place deserves the highest rating possible. You will want to come back and try every dish on the menu and see your favorite servers. Best restaurant in the Denver area
