We arrived in Grand Junction rather late and had no idea where we should dine. We stayed at the Hampton Inn on the revitalized main street in this colorful and historical Western town. It seemed natural to ask about restaurants on the street. We were advised at the desk to try a microbrewery up the street but decided against it... more

Everything about this restaurant speaks of superior quality and authenticity. The Italian chef and owner, Brunella, is passionate about her cuisine and her heritage. She offers an excellent selection of homemade pastas and sauces along with nightly specials of specially prepared entrees. Don't overlook dessert which includes the traditional options along with an unbelievable "Chocolate Decadence". more

Grand Junction is known for many things, but Il Bistro Italiano puts it on the map for a fine dining experience. The appetizers are generous, the wine list extensive (and not too pricey), and the seasonal entrees make you feel like you've been transported to Northern Italy without the hassles of travel. Good service reigns and the friendly owners have... more

I took a stroll and came back about ten after. Was surprised to see about 5/6 parties already seated. It was an early lunch, and... more

We ate today at the Italian Bistro restaurant. We were in this restaurant last year and three years ago when we stayed a couple of days in Grand Junction. I loved this place back in 2005 and 2007 However, things can change. A positive note is definitively that one can order an original "San Bitter" as a drink. Tastes very... more

Four of us had dinner at Il Bistro on Sept. 20, 2008. Each of us had a different entree and none of us could finish our meal because the food was either overcooked or too salty. When we provided feedback to the manager, he was very offended. This is not the way to treat guests and therefore, we will never... more
