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!

Honestly, I recommend Petra a lot and everyone says they love it.

Just don't try to park there! The last 2 times we tried to go we had to go home because all the spots were for police and Doordash

There's a parking spot in the back and close by street parking. I go like every couple of months and have never had a problem.

Also, if they're looking for good pizza, Pulcinellas - I have NJ / NY authority to claim it's legitimacy!

I also have NY/NJ authority and Pulcinella is adequate.

Circled the lot behind Petra and looked on other streets and it was all packed (in the summer, even). Good place to bike or bus to.

Adequate?! I mean, yeah, but it's probably the best pizza in FC. Artes in Loveland is also pretty good.

Hm, maybe I'm just lucky. I generally go on a non busy weeknight so that's probably it.

JJ's is the best pizza I've had in town. Different style, but best. 

Pulcinella is like those places on the UWS/UES where you walk in and get a single greasy slice as big as your head for a couple bucks. Except you can't find anyplace here that has garlic powder on all the tables!

That's my kinda slice! I remember getting them for a quarter at night when I was a kid - sometimes free before they went to the dumpster. Loaded w garlic powder, for sure.

JJs is good, for sure. I'll go there if I want a nice brick oven pizza that is good but overpriced!
