Scalzotto Italian Restaurant Broomfield - Broomfield, Colorado

Eric L.

Had an excellent experience at Scalzotto last night. First and foremost, the food was very good. Everything we ordered was freshly prepared, tasted homemade and presented well. I regret not taking any photos because I wasn't initially planning to write a review. We had their bruschetta appetizer which allowed us to choose any 3 of 5 varieties of bruschetta. We opted for a classic tomato, an Italian sausage and mushroom, and a grilled peach and burrata. All three were excellent. I might have wanted the bread toasted a little more but that is nitpicking. For entrees, I had the chicken Milanese with broccolini and fettuccine Alfredo. My friend has the Italian sausage penne. My chicken dish was prepared very well with two pieces of flattened moist chicken breast pieces with a simple Marsala sauce and mushrooms. The sauce wasn't too sweet and there was just enough sauce to enjoy without overdoing it. The sides (broccolini and fettuccine were ample in portion). The fettuccine was really nice pasta (they make the pasta in-house) and cooked Al dente. Better yet, the kitchen showed restraint with the Alfredo sauce which was also well prepared and appeared homemade. Having just enough sauce for the chicken and the pasta kept the flavors distinct on the plate - it could have been a problem, but was not at all. My friend raved about his penne dish and there was nothing left of any of the food we ordered. I finished things off with an affogato - it was very nice to have the option of selecting any of their in-house made gelatos, but I stuck with the classic vanilla. Nice finish to a very good meal!

Our server (Ashlee) was outstanding, friendly and pleasant! She asked if we had visited before (we had not) and then offered to make recommendations based on any interest areas we had. Throughout the meal, multiple servers cleared dishes, silver and took care of drinks attentively. Our server took a photo for us afterwards as well. Could not ask for more.

The restaurant was clean, spacious and we had a nice two-top by the window. Tables were spaced nicely and while it was just half full on a Wednesday night, it was a lively, but not overly noisy dining room.

The menu offered lots of options for any taste. The menu is not set up as a traditional Italian menu especially with choices of sides and pastas with mains as opposed to a primi, secondi, contorni style menu. However, don't let that fool you into believing this is like an Italian-American chain. The food is much better and much more authentic. I have to say that I was very pleasantly surprised - thus feeling the need to post this review.

To top everything off, the prices are very reasonable and the portions generous but not overdone. I would not hesitate to return the next time I'm in the area. It's fantastic to have a nice family-run place with homemade food. Give them a try!

Service here is always amazing. The servers are always so sweet and great at giving suggestions. This is our favorite italian place. Tonight our server Alecia was awesome.

The food was really good. Our son loved the lamb. The gnocchi and lasagne were also great but it took a very long time to get our food, like an hour, so that was a long wait. The server was nice.

It was also very cold in the restaurant. It's a small space and when people come and go the cold air rushes in so I was freezing most of dinner. They need to create a better heated entry way.

Took my girl for a date night at the Broomfield location and the atmosphere is immaculate. The food was top tier. Jared is the Tom Brady of the serving game for real.

First time visiting and did a new year's eve dinner here with a couple of friends. Comfortable setting and not overly loud like so many restaurants. Excellent staff with just the right amount of attention, great selection of dishes that were generous and very well prepared. Good selection of wines and very reasonable prices. Had the Tuscan blend wine with the spicy Carbonara with chicken and shrimp, delicious!! Will be back!

I traveled from Florida for my first visit, and it did not disappoint! The staff made us feel so welcome. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The service was friendly, the atmosphere warm, and the prices were more than fair. A true hidden gem — I’ll definitely be back!
