From the outside, Gaetano’s looks like your classic Italian neighborhood spot. But step inside, and you’re stepping into one of Denver’s most infamous stories, where good food met mob ties.

I get the family table because im fourth gen Italian.
I love their food. 😋😋😋❣️❣️❣️❣️
Pagliaccis was better. I miss that place.
As a transplant and Sicilian from the north east I’m going to have to try this place ❤
My friend tom used to do Italian mob tours and take couples here to enjoy dinner and tour the restaurant and tell some stories about the mob family this place is delicious and cool
It looks like the kind of place someone would get whacked
My great grandfather Vern hung out here, lots of basement stories.
Horrible wig 😢
Pueblo salutes Gaetano's history.
North North
You can't tell about it in under 3 minutes…….so much more
Dad and I use to eat there I miss it
Damn I wish they didn't gentrify the north side, it had character once. We have to keep the old places like this alive
I married into the Smaldone family when we go to gaetano's we get treated like royalty till this day… I take care of two crazy Smaldone women lol…. Colorado loves the smaldone family..
I applied there as a kid in the mid 80's along with all the good Italian restaurants like Carbone's (Lechuga's now) down the street, Patsy's, Carl's Pizza, Pagliacci's and more. But it would be 3 Son's Italian Restaurant when they were off 44th and Lowell that gave me my first restaurant job. Followed them when they moved to 44th off Federal, and later cemented my love for restaurant work with Wazee Supper Club and the great Angelo Karagas and his wife, Jane ❤👨🍳🍕
*North Sider for Life! ❤
