Reviews for Mountainara Cucina Italiana in Woodland Park, CO

I dined at this restaurant for the first time on my birthday several days ago. The restraunt staff went above and beyond to make... my birthday special. I ordered the Veal Marsala that was exceptional! Just thinking about it makes my mouth water. My brotherordered the Chicken Parmesan which was perfectly cooked and juicy. The cheese alone was great!\n\nI appreciated all the littletouches, the olive oil used for dipping the freshly made bread was amazing. The house Chianti was fantastic! The mushrooms usedfor the Marsala sauce were wonderful. I don\'t know what they were, Chanterelles maybe but they were good! The polenta which wasmy side dish was great! Polenta can be dry and flavorless but this was moist and flavorful, really good! I could taste the freshherbs, these guys really go out of their way to do it right!\n\nOne of the things that struck me while we were at the restaurantwas that people would come in and buy pastries to go. I had a chocolate cannoli for dessert, freshly made pastry with hand madewhipped cream, there are no words for how good this was! I am not a big dessert person but the dessert menu is top notch.\n\nIam so glad they opened their restaurant in Woodland Park because I live nearby. But in knowing what I know now, I woulddefinitely make the drive from my previous residence in Northern Colorado Springs just to experience what this establishment hasto offer! Read more

The food was spectacular. My steak was cooked perfectly. Alfredo was creamy and wonderful. Portion sizes are just right. Kayla... was our server and did an excellent job taking care of us. Prices are spot on for this quality in our mountain town. Read more

Sara our server was awesome. Service was quick. Atmosphere is spot on. Food is amazing. I got the chicken parm and it was so... delicious. My husband got the veal and he said it was yummy. Bread and oil is where it’s at. Highly recommend! Make sure youhave a reservation as we did - they are busy for a reason. Read more

We are excited to have an Italian restaurant in town. The desserts are awesome. Finally a cannoli without having to have my... sister fly it in from NY! The fettuccine Alfredo was the best I\'ve had in a long time--dense pasta and thick creamy sauce. I\'mlooking forward to trying some of the other dishes, especially the veal because that one is hard to get just right. Optimisticfor the success of this new business! Read more

We returned for a second try… and glad we did. Had the burrata and spinach dip for apps and gnocchi for dinner. WOW! All were... awesome. Having owned an Italian restaurant and being to Italy, expectations were fully met and then some. Roberto, the chefsowner, is very personable and friendly. Thanks for making this night special. WP needs this place. Read more

Such amazing, high quality, great tasting Italian food! Small sized restaurant so they\'re able to keep quality high with... imported authentic ingredients and everything house made. The chef rounds with the tables to check in and is so accommodatingand service is prompt and friendly. Definitely get a reservation in order to assure seating at dinner or weekends, but enjoy theintimate atmosphere! Will have trouble not indulging often. Easily the best dining choice we\'ve made in a long time! Read more

We ordered the carbonara and ziti. Both were good, although the ziti was warm when it was served. Enjoyed a salad with... strawberries, figs, and walnuts, it was tasty. Bread was very good. Had some cannoli\'s boxed up to enjoy at home, they wereexcellent. Seating is very tight but we sat down quickly. Service was excellent! Only complaint was the price. Price ofentrees should include a small salad and six dollars for a fountain soda is very steep. Overall a very good experience, thankyou for a lovely dinner! Read more

A little piece of Italian heaven right in the heart of the Rockies. What a MAGNIFICENT meal we just had!!! We are bruschetta... connoisseurs and have just had the best of our lives!!! So flavorful, but not with the traditional garlic and onions - justtomatoes and seasonings on amazing bread. Everything from the water to the dessert was too awesome to describe. Make yourreservations and get to this restaurant! Read more
