Cranelli's Italian - Lone Tree

The food here, especially the garlic knots and lasagna, is FANTASTIC! The owners are usually around and very welcoming. Parking and noise level leave a bit to be desired, however the food and the service is Amazing!!

We love Cranelli's and go at least once a month or so. They were kind enough to provide a free meal to all military this past Memorial Day, and not being one to pass on free amazing food, we went. Thanks for that, by the way. As always, the food was amazing (baked ziti for the win), service was excellent always happy when we get Andre and the experience was cozy and wonderful as expected. Perfect, no notes. If you want some outstanding Italian in the South Metro area, you would be hard pressed to do better than Cranelli's.

We sat on the covered patio. Lighting and temperature were most pleasing. Ben W was our server, and he was efficient, friendly and his timing was very good. Presentation was lovely, the whole experience is one we'd like to have over and over!

I had not been here in a few years. The food and service were both good. I had reserved the inside dining area and we were placed on the enclosed patio. Unfortunately, there was a group of 20 in that area and they were shrieking amongst themselves from table to table. The other small tables in there were commiserating with each other. I couldn't talk to my husband across the table. I think the concrete along with the screaming made the noise so much worse. I regret not leaving when we sat down and realized. I don't think these tables and the noise was the restaurant's fault but I do wish since we were not seated in the area I had reserved and the restaurant knew this group was so loud, they had offered us the option of waiting for a table in the dining room. We have been out of the restaurant for over an hour and our ears are still ringing.

I had the stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer and baked ziti as the main course. Both were delicious. My wife had the penne a la vodka. She also liked it. Our server Britney was great. Took our orders promptly and came by several times to check if we needed anything.
