We live out of state and wanted to take my mom out to a great dinner while we were in Denver. We went there with high expectations based on the reviews and my wife being from northern Italy and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of service and food. Our tajarin con conigelio was one if the highlights of the evening.

We came here for an anniversary dinner and Jacks did not disappoint. The food was outstanding, the service was wonderful and the restaurant itself was cozy and not incredibly packed. The sourdough starter was fllavorful, steak literally melted in my mouth, and the cookie for dessert was a perfect sweet ending. We couldn’t have found a better gem!

Pasta Mondays are the best idea! We made a reservation about a month and a half in advance. Definitely worth it as I overheard there was a 2 hour wait at 7:00pm. Food was delicious, service was great. Will be back.

I met with 2 other girlfriends and we shared 3 appetizers for lunch. They were all great tasting and enough that we didn't finish all of them! Had tiramisu for dessert which was delicious.
