To those of you visiting us for the first time AND those who have been anticipating the return of Firenze a Tavola, benvenuti & bentornati. Enjoy intimate, full-service dining, with coursed meals & a curated wine list in our "old-world" ambiance, "worlds" away from our fast-paced main level. In 2025, we will bring back community table nights & wine dinners. We have revised the concept to include an assortment of new seasonal menus (with some familiar authentic Tuscan favorites) & a few new events! We also OFFICIALLY return to private party bookings with a more streamlined booking process at PARISIsottoDenver.com. Now that Parisi is open on Sunday, you will see events & dining hours pop up on Sundays, too. The hours will vary & will typically be focused on weekends, but you can continue to check our calendar & newsletters for details. Mondays, Tuesdays & Wednesdays will be closed for regular dining.
We look forward to offering you a truly Authentic Italian Culinary Experience!

    Still getting their legs underneath them. The shrimp salad was a bit disappointing, the shrimp were limp, and the salad was nothing more that celery and carrot sticks with a little fruit mixed in. The risotto was absolutely fabulous. The Bistecca alla Fiorentina was very good, but unevenly cooked: about half of the steak was cooked to our order of medium rare, the other half was overcooked. Our server was new and a little overwhelmed. Can’t wait until they get the kinks worked out - one of our favorite Italian restaurants!

    Between my wife & I, we split the Zuppe (soup), which was 2 small bowls, so perfect. Round two, we chose the Gnudi di Ricotta e Spinaci (balls of ricotta and spinach in an olive oil), delicious! And we finished by splitting the Pollo Cacciatore (herbed chicken w truffle mashed potatoes), excellent. Anna Maria suggested a delicious bottle of Malbec, from Mendoza. I highly recommend dining at Sotto!

    We’ve been Parisi fans for years. Couldn’t have been more excited to try Sotto. The ambience of the place is fantastic but that’s where the positives end. Absolutely no value to be found here. For two people with appetizers, entrees, wine, and dessert. You’re looking at $250 for a limited menu. All the portions are small. Worse than that every piece of meat and fish was dried out. Really disappointing. Do yourself a favor and go to the far superior Parisi upstairs.

    We were delighted to dine at Parisi Sotto. We had dined many times at our favorite Italian restaurant, Firenze a Tavola, practically since it opened in 2006. Sadly, during the pandemic, Firenze struggled and finally had to close “temporarily”. We were excited last night to dine again in the cosy, romantic basement of the Parisi Pizza, now renamed Parisi Sotto. The dining atmosphere was wonderful with murals of cities in Italy, comfortable tables and soft music. The staff was terrific. Anamaria and Gennaro were very attentive. The dinner was excellent. We began with a bottle of Valpolichella and the bread basket assortment. We then shared the Panzanella di Farro con Burrataas, as a combination appetizer and salad. The burrata was creamy and delicious, and the faro salad was fresh and tasty with the the oil and vinegar dressing. Then we shared the Grigliata Mista for 2, a classic grilled meat dish served with grilled sausages, pork ribs & sirloin steak, accompanied by potato croquettes and sautéed garlic & dandelion greens. They were all well seasoned and delicious. It was quite a bit of food and we brought some home to enjoy at home for lunch! It was a delightful evening and will return often.
