Bella Colibri

Amazing food and good service. The amuse bouche they started us off on was cheese, honeycomb, and hazelnuts. It was very good and a cute bite. We tried the grilled bread plate. The bread was an olive ciabatta bread that was so delicious and some of the best ciabatta and olive bread I've ever had. The olive oil and balsamic was also very good. We also had the burrata and that was very good as well. There was arugula, butternut squash, kumquat jam, and apples on top and the combination was amazing and the perfect amount of saltiness. The cheese was soft and fresh and was great. We tried the lamb pasta and it was so good! The noodles were fresh and were clearly made well in house. The lamb had great flavor and was very tender. I would've preferred more cheese as someone who loves cheese but overall the dish was amazing and the chunks of meat were perfectly sized. The ribeye steak we got was cooked perfectly! The chilis cooked with it were amazing and complimented the steak super well. They cooked it to a perfect medium rare. Some parts of the meat felt more fatty and a bit chewy but was great overall. The polenta was also so creamy and good. I felt that overall the food could've come out hotter but not a big complaint. For desserts we had the cannolis and the rosemary citrus crème brûlée. The cannolis had a perfect shell and the cream inside was chocolate. The garnish was chocolate pearls. Everything went perfectly together and wasn't too sweet. Never had a cannoli that didn't have a mascarpone cheese filling and I really liked it. The crème brûlée had great rosemary and citrus flavor. The sugar on top was perfectly torched. Interesting presentation of it since the dish was shallow, but was amazing. Super thick and rich. We had the mezcal cocktail which was smoky and sweet and we had the gin cocktail which was super booze forward and strong but was so good. I loved the cherry at the bottom. We also got a glass in limoncello which was so good and I love that limoncello flavor. We tried the barbera and the chianti. Both went well with the steak and pasta and were decent wines. Nothing too much to say here as I don't drink wine often. The service was good and the food came out at a good pace. They were out of the lasagna, we had a reservation on a Saturday at 8 pm. Highly recommend this restaurant! Definitely probably the most high end restaurant in Golden, but worth visiting at least once!

I wasn't aware of Bella Colibri until recently. It's def a date night spot. Their dishes are awesome! Beautifully plated and they taste amazing! The staff was amazing as well.The most memorable was this Watermelon on ricotta bread. Get this! It's so wonderfully good and different. In the appetizer section. The lasagna was described as homemade. Fruit di Mare was loaded.We had the following:Entree:1.Fruti Di Mare *maltagliatti pasta, halibut, clams, mussels, prawns vodka red sauce2.Lasagna Bellabeef lasagna, whipped ricotta & mascarpone, parmesan, and buffalo mozzarella.Cocktails:1.Toronto - Four Roses Bourbon / Fernet / Demerara Simple / Bittermen's Transatlantic2.Violoncello - Los Vicenos Mezcal / Caravella Limoncello / Lemon / Agave / Bittermen's Orange Bitters3.Bounce Back - Four Roses Bourbon / Fernet / Lemon / Pineapple / Simple / Bittermen's TransatlanticDessert:Tiramisu-Rich & creamy layered Italian classic, espresso-dipped lady fingers,mascarpone, brandy, and amaretto.What a find! Make time for this wonderful spot in Golden! You won't be disappointed!

We didn't have a reservation but they sat us at their chef's table/counter which I thought was a perfect place to be seated on a date night. Zach was our food server. He was prepping food all night and you get to watch him do his wonderful work while you wait for and eat your dinner. He was very engaging. In fact, the whole staff were. From the hostess to our table, everyone was amazing. The food was delicious. From the arancini, the salad and our bolognese and bucatini and the tiramisu... so so good. We will definitely be back and will request for the chefs table again.

We made a reservation over a MONTH ago. Received a voicemail two hours prior to our reservation. The employee claimed there was a water main and the restaurant was closed. Lo and behold, we walked by and the restaurant was indeed open and they were hosting a private event. When we walked in to ask about it, the hostess said there was no water main break (and then quickly disappeared). The manager also had a ton of difficulty coming up with a reason of what happened. TERRIBLE customer service and they didn't even seem to care. We love to support local but with all the other wonderful Italian options, we will not be back. TERRIBLE.

The ambiance is nice, cute, well decorated. However, I cannot recommend this place and won't go back. They are just shoveling out the same bland, tired, mediocre food that capital grill always has. At a premium price. My risotto tasted like it came straight out of a box.

We were a group of about 10 for a 6:30 pm weeknight reservation, the big table was ready and we were seated and offered water immediately. Granted it was a bit slow that night but still, a good start.And then it became spectacular. A beautiful, elegant and comfortable setting as I'd heard about.And up front I'll say, I see reviews here of bad service and other complaints, and I know even the best businesses screw up on occasion, and more often these days. They can't get, or keep, good staff - same with my company so I can really relate to that challenge. But our evening was perfect.We were recommended a very nice Chianti which we ended up polishing about 3 (???) bottles of, very happily. And a bottle of white and, well, some other drinks. Things got a little fuzzy at some point in the evening and I lost count.The food - the FOOD - amazing. An appetizer that was tomatoes and squash and, other stuff, I just know that the table gobbled up two big plates of it in no time and were all raving about it.Then, the entrees - everyone loved their food, I got the lasagna and that is a great choice! You see photos of the lasagna here from others, it was the envy of the table, a huge serving and it came with it's own special silver spatula, which for some reason I fell in love with, it was just a really fun cool touch. The cheese and pasta and sauce and meat in this dish were just amazing, but I was forced, begrudgingly, to share some bites of it with my table mates as they could see how much I was enjoying it. Next time I'll eat alone!And then two huge dessert trays, too varied to describe but all just sumptious. Especially the CANOLI, I mean seriously, just spectacular. Not overly sweet, just the right balance and a chocolate/cocoa flavor that was mouth watering, in the perfect shell. Really, really dangerously great dessert that could become habitual so, be forewarned.Anyway, yes we'll be back, I want to do the Chef's table seating, I would love to watch them prepare their amazing food and try some of their other dishes.Highly recommend.

Food was amazing, a bit pricey. Our waiter Sam was fantastic. We sat outside and the evening was perfect. We had a fantastic time with our friends and would return again.

I love the food here the bolognese is my favorite. Great wine list and service. Atmosphere is intimate.

Great service - a little loud so hard to talk. Amazing food and very generous portions

The skin-on roasted chicken and elderflower drink were AMAZING! Crazy that a little restaurant in a small town could have such high caliber food. Have been in NYC and SF this past year and it was as delicious as anything I had there. Service was also top notch. Highly recommend!
