Shells and Sauce

Great Italian Food

I LOVE this place. The gnocci is amazing and I actually crave it quite regularly and have to go back often to induldge! The calamari is amazing as is the homemade bread. This has become my favorite restaurant and I'm so glad that they're open! Also they recently added a rooftop patio that is absolutely gorgeous!!!!!

The food was AWESOME! I took my girlfriend there for the first time and we were wowed! great atmosphere! OOOOH..and the head cook served us personally. We will be going back soon.

My girlfriend and I with another dining couple went to Shells and Sauce on a wednesday night. It was slow and service was mediocre at best. The food was not really good for Italian and I thought Italian food was easy to make. Well these guys do Italian food really bad. I mean REALLY BAD. My girlfriend works at Strings as a server and she knows pasta and wine. The server recommended a big cabarnet sauv for our first course that was $30+. It didn't go well with our apps. We placed our order for dinner and my steak came out over cooked. I asked to have it re-made which he did no problem. When it returned it was over cooked again. I brought it to his attention again and said that didn't want anything else. When he brought the check the steak was still on the bill. I asked why should I pay for a meal that not only did I not eat but they couldn't cook it right. The so-called owner came to the table and appologized for the error. I gave the server my credit card and they ran my credit card for the amount before the steak was taken off the bill. I did not relize this until later when I got home. The next day I called the restaurant and asked for the owner who had talked to me the day before. Whoever had talked to me wednesday night was not an owner and according to the girl on the phone, he doesn't even work there. WHO THE HELL IS RUNNING THIS PLACE!!! When I finally did talk to somebody important about my credit card, he was rude and just un-proffesional.

What ever you do, if you decide to go to Shells and Sauce, don't order a steak, wine or pay with a credit card.

I've eaten at Shells and Sauce several times and it have never disappointed. Too often I feel like people only write reviews when something negative happens or when they aren't satisfied. I would recommend to anyone who enjoys good Italian food by a locally owned restaurant to give it a least a try. Each time is as wonderful as the first. I highly recomened the lasagna.

This was my second time at Shells and Sauce. The first time was delicious and I had a good server. This wasn't the case last weekend. The service was AWFUL. I ordered the carbonara brunch dish and asked to substitute the bacon for portabello mushrooms. I was given ordinary button mushrooms and charged an additional dollar. My asparagus was nearly raw. Not worth it.

We stumbled upon this place about eight months ago. It's been one of our favorite places in Denver - great location, quaint atmosphere, etc. But lately, the service has just gone to hell. Last night probably drove us away forever - they let someone else have our reservation even though we were on time. The older man at the front was just obstinate and rude about it, as though it was our fault. We've had issues with him before, but the food was always worth his somewhat surly "greeting." But, unfortunately, last night was the last straw. I hope to read future reviews saying the service has improved. Until then, we'll go back to Portege.
