“ This place is amazing! It was recommended to us by The Glenwood Canyon Resort and it did not disappoint! We had Vinny's Spinny, Carbanero, and Brasato. Everything was extremely good. Our server was very friendly and attentive also. We will definitely eat here when we visit again!! ”
“ Highly recommend the wild mushroom and black truffle risotto! Absolutely a banger!! The Frita fish melody was also great. ”
“ Tucked away on Grand Avenue is this lovely restaurant that can rival anywhere we go to in the Denver metro area. Greeted at the door immediately, the decor is elegant, a single rose in a petite vase on each table. We started with an Aperol Spritz, my friend ordered a Mushroom Ravioli dish and I ordered Chilean Sea Bass with mashed potatoes BUT asked if I could switch out the tomato sauce. Not missing a step, our waiter brought me a menu, we discussed which of their other sauces would complement the sea bass, and the Sambuca Cream Sauce was perfect. This visit was because a friend of mine flew in from Chicago and we were having a girl's trip to catch up and relax. Modern Brava Trattoria was perfect for making us feel special with some wonderful drinks and dinner but not stuffy or uptight. ”
“ This place slaps. It was such a lovely surprise. The waiter was funny and personable. The food was down right delicious and the atmosphere was cute. I highly recommend coming here. By far the best food in Glenwood Springs. ”
“ I asked our server to choose a dish for me, because every single one sounded delicious. He chose the Clam Linguine (Linguine Alle Vongole) and he nailed it! The clams were fine- it's the mountains, you can only expect so much- but if they don't make their pasta in-house then I need to know where they buy it, because it was the best linguine that I have ever had. Delicious, cooked to perfection with the perfect amount of al dente bite. Paired with an incredible sauce and it was an amazing dish. I also have to say that even though the restaurant was completely full and our server was also the host and seemed to be the server for the entire 18-20 tables, there was shockingly no delay. Courses were timed perfectly, no long wait, no rush of entrees showing up before apps were finished, drinks always full... I was extremely impressed at how the entire service ran. ”
