Mici Italian

Best cannoli in Denver! Yes the service is still consistently top notch but man those cannolis! When we get them, we eat them before anything else. You can tell they are filled as you order them. Nowhere else in Denver comes close to these, and this is from someone who grew up in Detroit eating home cooked Italian from Nonna and going to Italian restaurants handed down within generations.

It's not bad but it's not great. The pizza crust is thin and there wasn't much sauce which made the pizza very dry (unless you prefer this). Def recommend getting a side sauce if you want to spend another $2-3, on top of a $20 pizza. Tortellini is my favorite but this was sadly lacking flavor and did not come with the ciabatta bread. TBH it tasted like the refrigerator packs you get at the grocery. The Molto Carne calzone was the family favorite, with great flavor. It's huge but don't be fooled by the size! All the meat (equivalent to toppings on 1 pizza slice) was stuffed in the middle by the cut, and the rest was 2 in of crust surrounding. This came with a side of marinara sauce which helps with the dry crust. Ingredients and recipes might pay homage to their Italian roots but the nonni's are not the kitchen.

We stopped in one afternoon to Mici Italian Restaurant, the Central Park location. This is one of many locations - it's a "fast casual" Denver based, family owned (Miceli Family) franchise chain, using long time family recipes. This family is all about giving back & helping the community, check out their website for more info. The restaurant's decor is really cute & inviting, including an outdoor patio with tables & chairs. The main colors are black & white - black ceiling & white chairs. This coordinates with an entire wall of vintage black & white photos of named aunts, uncles, grandma & grandpa with a statement... "Proudly serving recipes passed down personally by this lively bunch." We placed our order at the counter as you walk in. The same person brought out our meals. She was friendly, very personable & attentive. We ordered the Lasagna served with garlic bread & the Molto Carne Calzone. If pasta & calzones aren't your thing they also serve pizza & salads, plus cannolis & gelato for dessert. They also have gluten free options, wine & beer & zucchini noodles to substitute pasta noodles. The lasagna was just okay, it needed more spice & it had very little meat sauce. The garlic bread was plain, it lacked the garlic. The calzone was the star! It was stuffed full with (a family recipe) sausage, meatballs, pepperoni, mozzarella & ricotta cheese. The ricotta really made this dish top notch as well as the delicious dipping sauce & a wonderful crust. I'll be back to try the pizza next time, however I might just have to order that calzone, it's definitely craveable!

Watched Little Italy on Netflix today, made me want good Italian pizza so here I am! It's a 30 minute drive but well with the trip!

One of our favorite neighborhood spots in Central Park! Great pizza, salads, and pasta entrees. We also love their patio on nice evenings.

Excellent lunch special at an incredible price. The crust on their pizza is absolutely delicious. It's almost like a pastry, that's how good it is. The service was very friendly. It's basically a strip center restaurant, so the ambiance is not exciting, but that's not what you're there for.If you are looking for a nice personal pizza and soda at a great price, look no further. You should be at Mici.

Daughter and I found ourselves in Denver for a couple days. After a trip to Walmart we ended up at Mici Italian restaurant. All I can say is I am sure nothing is made in house at this place. Meatball was hard and flavorless. Another pasta dish was the same. We even had a small pizza that was at least as good as Pizza Hut!!! Overall very disappointing!!

The best part about Mici is that it never disappoints. I've been coming here for a few years and always do takeout. It had never once not been ready when I arrive. You can't go wrong with the pizza or pasta. Everything is fresh, delicious sauce, and I'm always satisfied with the results. Love the fact they have an easy rewards program through Toast too. Keep it up Mici team!

This was my first visit to Mici and it won't be my last! We came here for lunch and tried a few of their pizzas and salads. They have gluten free crusts, thank you! (But these are significantly smaller and with an upcharge. I'm so sick of that...) It'd be great if they offered lunch specials. Oh, but kids eat for free throughout summer. Yay!

Tasty pizza, decent crust. 33% for delivery, and INCREDIBLY stingy on ingredient adds.
