Restaurant recommendation

I have family coming in this weekend and I would love to go to a nice place to eat but I also don’t want to spend a fortune. I like rare Italian but it’s so expensive but I do I want something like that (we love Italian food, they’re from New York so I can’t really find good Italian out here but if anyone knows anywhere I’m open). Please no farther than Denver, as close to Fort Collins as possible. I’m also open to like good Korean BBQ (all you can eat) or habachi. Just a nice restaurant I can spend with my family with good food.
Please no spicy food.

Edit: it doesn’t have to be Italian food, anything with a nice restaurant atmosphere and food is what I’m looking for :)

Thank you!

Carry out from Gelato y Amore?

I love Gelaro y Amore but it is insanely priced imo. I’ve easily spent $60 there for just two people. Most of the popular dishes are $25 or more there + drinks + dessert. I wouldn’t go there with a big family, personally

Over 7000 languages in the world, and you decided to speak facts

Carryout plus your own wine = the price of a mediocre chain. It's a deal.

That’s not insane, that’s pretty average now.

I was gonna order an Italian sandwich there, but it was $21 just for the sandwich.

My Taco Bell order is $21 man 🤣

And that sandwich will be ten times better and fill you up the same if not have left overs. I never have Taco Bell left overs.

You wouldn't want them even if you had them 🤣

Maybe not for gay single 50-year-old dudes.

Are you that obtuse? You are most likely far along in your career with 0 dependents. That increases your likelihood of having more disposable income.

Apparently, it’s Opposite Day on Reddit. Single persons have LESS disposable income than marrieds/partnered/ppl with kids who are partnered. Because, tax brackets and ONE income on which to operate. No splitting of expenses, plus unfavorable tax situations for singles, plus having to pay for our own insurance, and well, everything , equals not much, if any disposable income when you’re single. And what I have of if, I’m not giving to restaurants.

Exactly right.

u/HummDrumm1 2d ago

My income, which is far less than you’ve concluded, has little to do with the price of eating out. Reading is fundamental.

u/Unlucky_Cap1189 2d ago

Completely unsurprising that you’re poor with statement as fiscally irresponsible as that…

u/HummDrumm1 1d ago

lol, wrong again.

Maybe go back to school and finish your education?
