Bella Colibri

Fine Italian cuisine served up in a classy space. Exposed brick, instrumental music, and tablecloths make for a romantic setting. Homemade pastas and other amazing food options make this a must visit for any Italian cuisine connoisseur!

It was delicious! A very nice Italian place with authentic classics that rotate. We had some Iberian ham that was amazing and the burrata was surprisingly our favorite appetizer!

Was a little pricey, but I expected it, and give yourself plenty of time to find parking, but here's the important piece... The dining experience was fantastic. I'm uncertain about ever, ever enjoying an Italian meal so much. Someone please hug the chef for me. It was a late lunch Sunday, and the lasagna wasn't available (only at dinner...) which I always try lasagna first at a new spot. So, I ordered a simple Bolognese, which I've never tried before. I am remembering the flavors, and will be for some time. The ambience is clean, sleek, very comfortable, though I felt a little overly casual in my choice of attire. The service was excellent. Thank you Bella Colibri. I cannot wait to try more, and to share this place with someone special. Easily 5 stars.

This restaurant has continued to up its game each time I’ve gone over the past few years, probably the nicest meal in Golden currently. The most recent visit we had deliciously prepared oysters, arancini, several pasta dishes and tiramisu. The service was top notch, the dishes were very flavorful, and the cocktails were on point. Looks like they have very reasonable bottles of wine as well. Lucky to have this in the neighborhood!

My wife and I finally discovered Bella Colibri and we both have no idea how we managed to live without it. It stands on an unassuming side street in Golden Colorado in one of the oldest buildings in the state. The interior is tasteful yet sublime with exposed brick and tall ceilings, and has a wonderful but quaint bar back near the corner of the dining room. Now let’s talk about the menu... wow. From traditional Italian fair to exciting new takes on old classics like lamb osso bucco and tuna concerva and wonderful hand made pasta like bucatini, cappelletti and gnocchi there is so much to love and explore. We decided to start with the olives and the baked bread plate. Both were wonderful and seem to be a perfect way to start the meal. My wife chose the porcini cappeletti and I decided to go more traditional route with the handmade lasagna that by the way was quite possibly the best I’ve ever had. She had a Cabernet and I tried the Abruzzo, both were flavorful and complemented the meal nicely. Although the lobster gnocchi beckoned I decided to leave it for next time. One small stumbling point was the menu we viewed online was not exactly accurate with the menu we encountered at the restaurant, most of it was the same but I thought I would mention that in case this might be a problem for some people. Eric was our server and was outstanding and professional in every regard even going as far as to give several excellent recommendations and wonderful descriptions of the food. We ended with my wife choosing a lemoncello and I had a simple latte. For as wonderful an evening as we had and as spectacular as the food was we felt the price was very reasonable and quite frankly can’t wait to return. Whether you are looking for a romantic dining experience or a fantastic family dinner the food the service and the ambience will absolutely help create some wonderful memories.

I have been to this restaurant twice and have been so impressed each time! The food is amazing and creative, the atmosphere is delightful, and the service is always wonderful. Thank you to our waitress Madison who took great care of us last night! It was the perfect place to dine before they turned the lights on in Golden at the Old Holiday Candlelight Walk. We got: Bucatini, Pork Shank, Olives for an app, and the chocolate lava cake for dessert.

We had amazing dining experience and our server, Danielle, was very attentive. The ambience in the restaurant feels like an quaint upscale restaurant. We had the arancini balls to start and I would recommend. For dinner my husband and I split the lasagna and bison short rib gnocchi. Both were excellent and we even had leftovers. I read a review that said that the lasagna was just meh, but I disagree, give it a try!!!

Golden is seriously lacking in high quality options for a date night but this is one of the few that I’d recommend. Food was all top notch, with great cocktails, fresh made pasta, and seasonal ingredients. Everything we had was great. Our waitress recommended the potato gnocchi with beef cheek which was very comforting on a cold winter day. My wife had a lighter vegetarian pasta dish with homemade pesto. The cocktail that I ordered was balanced and well made. We also had the homemade sourdough, served with 4 different topping options! My only wish was that the chocolate cake we had for dessert be served warm. It came with a citrus sauce and candy orange peel, both of which accompanied the cake perfectly! We will be back!
