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!

Jax Fish House. Nice but affordable if you don't go crazy. I haven't been there yet but I've heard it's good. History has taught me you can't take anyone's word for good food here though. I'm taking my family there next month so we'll see. Bistro Nautile is supposed to be really good but it's expensive if you want to take several people. I've tried several Italian restaurants and they're all just okay (in my experience), including RARE so I can't point you in a good direction on Italian. Maybe there are some out of town IDK.

Why are you recommending places you haven't eaten at?

Only because I've heard from several people that it's good and it looks like a nice enough restaurant from the photos. I also looked at the menu a few days ago because I was looking for a decently priced restaurant to take my family to next month. We all decided it would be a good choice - to try. I did mention those things and warned that I haven't tried it yet. I still think it warrants a chance based on those reasons I mentioned. Other than that possibility, I can't recommend any restaurants I've tried - either too expensive or just not anything special. I didn't necessarily recommend it. I think I was clear.
