Marchitelli's Cucina Italiana

Repeat attempts have resulted in less than ideal experiences. Host staff is generally almost put-off by guest arrival. I kind of expect someone to be happy about me showing up to drop $100 on tomatoes and pasta. Bar staff kinda needs to cut the chit chat especially when they have a full house. If tickets are poppin no reason to be talkin. Chef, why on earth would you try to smoke pasta sauce? This is Italian food and I get you're trying to put a Colorado spin on it but let's stick to the basics just a bit. Pasta should not be served watery either, this is not Fazzolis. The upside is that wait staff, although overwhelmed by the slowness of the bar, does seem to at least try and almost always delivers. Everyone has off nights but of 6 attempts so far only 1 was something worth going back for.

We found this place a month ago and have literally eaten there every week. We do lunch, so the portions are more manageable. They have multiple vegetarian options which is a treat. Try it! I bet you'll like it! 1/3/24 Per the sign on the door, this restaurant is closed. Pauly, good luck with your next job!

We had a wonderful dinner! As a gluten-free person this is so nice to have so many wonderful choices. My son and husband are not gluten free and they very much enjoyed their meals too.

The spicy red sauce was way too salty. The replacement dish took forever to come, and was out of proportion with too many noodles, too little of the undercooked sauce. It was a very poor effort overall. Nice waitress, tho.

It was a perfect experience except for the obnoxiously loud 18 people seated at the next table. In my opinion, Marchitelli's is far and away the best Italian restaurant in Fort Collins. No competition.
