  8. My favorite new restaurant
    They have very interesting, unique dishes (pasta with spicy tomato sauce and blackened chicken, stuffed shells with butternut squash) and fabulous desserts. The red velvet cake is a must try. Another great feature is the bread with olive oil dip. The olive oil has balsamic, herbs and garlic and is good enough to drink. Prices are also extremely reasonable. I find myself going back again and again...

  10. Great food and new rooftop patio is a must!!!!!
    I LOVE this place. The gnocci is amazing and I actually crave it quite regularly and have to go back often to induldge! The calamari is amazing as is the homemade bread. This has become my favorite restaurant and I'm so glad that they're open! Also they recently added a rooftop patio that is absolutely gorgeous!!!!!

  15. service errors becomes customers problem
    My girlfriend and I with another dining couple went to Shells and Sauce on a wednesday night. It was slow and service was mediocre at best. The food was not really good for Italian and I thought Italian food was easy to make. Well these guys do Italian food really bad. I mean REALLY BAD. My girlfriend works at Strings as a server and she knows pasta and wine. The server recommended a big cabarnet...

  17. Terrific neighborhood restaurant
    I've eaten at Shells and Sauce several times and it have never disappointed. Too often I feel like people only write reviews when something negative happens or when they aren't satisfied. I would recommend to anyone who enjoys good Italian food by a locally owned restaurant to give it a least a try. Each time is as wonderful as the first. I highly recomened the lasagna.

  18. Below Expectations
    This was my second time at Shells and Sauce. The first time was delicious and I had a good server. This wasn't the case last weekend. The service was AWFUL. I ordered the carbonara brunch dish and asked to substitute the bacon for portabello mushrooms. I was given ordinary button mushrooms and charged an additional dollar. My asparagus was nearly raw. Not worth it.

  19. Great Food, HORRIBLE Service
    We stumbled upon this place about eight months ago. It's been one of our favorite places in Denver - great location, quaint atmosphere, etc. But lately, the service has just gone to hell. Last night probably drove us away forever - they let someone else have our reservation even though we were on time. The older man at the front was just obstinate and rude about it, as though it was our fault...

  21. Great neighborhood addition!!! Wonderful place must try for yourself
    Live in the neighboehood and watched it being remodeled and couldn't be happier with the job the owners have done. after being named one of denver's top 20 restaurants under $30 in 5280 we finally made it in and we were not disappointed. the food was wonderful as was the service. we will definitely be back.

  22. Wonderful location, not great service or food for the $$$ price
    I'm so sorry to say we can't recommend Shells and Sauce. We live close by in the neighborhood and were so excited to see the restaurant go in. But my husband and I have a strict "three strikes' policy about where we spend out dining out dollars, and we will not be going back. Each of the three times we've been there, the service is slow and sloppy: we didn't get menus, it took 10 minutes for anyo...

  23. Sorry to Say...Over rated
    After reading several reviews, 5280 & Gabby Gourmet, we took a 15 minute drive to check out the "neighborhood" "cozy Italian spot" Unfortunately we were not greeted with friendly service, as a matter of fact when I asked the server a couple of questions, he became preoccupied with another table and actually walked away in the middle of what I thought was a conversation. Our fried calamari had n...

  24. Great Homestyle Italian food
    I stopped by one evening after work with some friends for dinner, and had the Ravioli dinner (tasty and filling). Their bread was fantastic and had to ask for some more! Im glad I saved room for dessert because the Carrot Cake was one of the tastiest I have ever had. I decided I had to try Brunch, and was just as pleased, the french toast was delicious and my friend had the Panini which was al...

  25. Great new Italian restaurant, Congress Park jewel!
    My husband I & visited this great new Italian restaurant to celebrate my birthday and I just have to rave about this establishment! We saw an article in 5280 so we decided to try it and out and we are so happy we did! ! My husband ordered the steak and I can honestly say it was the best steak I ever tasted! I ordered the chicken picatta and the sauce was to die for! We had the chocolate cake ...

  26. Watch this spot grow....
    When Mrs Foodsnob and I walked in here the other night, I was amazed and surprised to see my old neighborhood friend and Breakfast Guru, Alex Pappas hosting. Seems his son calls the shots at this new spot just a few doors from where Alex held court serving breakfast to this neighborhood.....Zorba's....for years. Although new and a tad rough around the edges, we found this spot very good, aforda...
