Best Romantic Restaurants in Golden

As a daughter of Italian immigrants, it has been really hard finding authentic Italian food since moving to Denver. Since finding this place, I have come back so many times. Very authentic experience, the menu is set up just like they are in Italy, and incredible fresh pastas and foods. They were refreshing to be able to speak Italian when I come here with the stuff, and it is not an overly Americanized Italian restaurant like many other ones here.

I came to The Fort to celebrate my boyfriend and I's anniversary and wow what a unique exterior that matched the name of the restaurant so well! Our server Adam was so sweet and had the best recommendations as it was our first time there. We started off with the Historian Platter, which had a great assortment of their popular appetizers. It was a great value to try a little bit of everything, and I did enjoy everything except the peanut butter stuffed jalapeños mostly because they were chilled, but the flavor was delish! The salad was divine with the chipotle honey dressing, super fresh and don't even get me started on the pumpkin muffins that come on the side! For my main course I had the duck which was so tender and flavorful, however I wasn't a big fan of the wild rice. We saved room for dessert to do their crème brule, so so delicious all in all an amazing experience all the way through. Thank you to our server Adam for making our anniversary so special!

The steaks were awesome. All the sides were delicious. My wife and I celebrated her birthday and it was a very classy ambiance! Our server Aimee was one of the best one could ask for. Her knowledge of food options, personality of making sure we had fun, and being super fast. Highly recommend to all.

We had a great time. Everyone enjoyed their meal and loved the atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.

Last minute decision that we were very happy about. Excellent food and service, we will return
