⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐ This place was phenomenal! Our service was excellent, food was DELICIOUS, and I cant wait to go back again. We were looking to have a nice dinner out without breaking the bank and this family owned gem hit all the right notes. No frills, simple quality with an atmosphere that keeps people coming back. 5 stars all around! 👏
It's apparent why this restaurant was completely full at 5pm on a weekend. It has a welcoming feel and you can tell the staff care for regulars and are well trained. Service was great and attentive. Our food was really tasty. Sometimes Calamari can be very hit or miss in Landlocked Colorado. This was well fried, great texture and the sauce was flavorful. My main of Rigatoni was perfectly cooked pasta and their sauce was very good. My only complaint and this might be personal preference- the meat ball had a lot of bread in it and kind of had an odd texture. My sons chicken cutlet was also really tasty and not too dry. All in all easy to recommend Cafe Jordano - try it if you are in the neighborhood.
Cafe Jordano will always be one of my favorite restaurants in the whole world. It is a must try if you are in the area or even if you aren't, make the trip. I live in Grand Junction but each time I'm in Denver it's an absolute on the agenda. I have been visiting Cafe Jordano for just over 25 years now and its amazing every single time. The food is outstanding, the staff is so welcoming they make you feel like family. There is no wrong choice on the entire menu. The Tequila sunset drink is heavenly. My absolute favorite dish is to get the Pollo Alla Romano but I swap the chicken for the delicious eggplant they make. The salads are so good, the Gnocchi with cream sauce is great and the desserts are so tasty. The Cannoli and Tiramisu are something we have to always get so be sure to try to save room.
One of my dads favorite places to visit. It did not disappoint! Their meatballs were delicious! Pasta was cooked well and everyone enjoyed their entrees
We stumbled across this gem and had a great experience. It has a nice homey feel and we were welcomed quickly, sitting in the cocktail area. For late afternoon on a random Tuesday the place was bustling. The Karma's favorite served over noodles and preceded by an included house salad had depths of savory flavors. So rich, creamy with juicy chicken. Fantastic soup also accompanied our other entree. The lasagna was a wall suitable to keep Genghis Khan at bay. Layer upon layer of noodle, cheeses, and sausage. Jose was so helpful for my first time. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to find out how full you can be.
