Maybe you've heard stories about the little Italian place in Lakewood that won't take reservations because if it did, there'd never be an open table for the neighbors, and where regulars arrive a half-hour before the start of dinner, jockeying for position and counting heads to make sure they'll get a seat. Cafe Jordano is that place, and nearly everything this restaurant does -- from the smallest touch of service to the most labor-intensive entree -- is wonderful and well-considered. The menu is classic Italian strip mall done phenomenally well by the Heitman family who have done nothing but that for the past two decades.

  • Veggie Girl: Cafe Jordano serves up authentic Italian

    By Amber Taufen | Wed, June 16, 2010

    ​Lakewood's Cafe Jordano has gotten some love on these pages before, from a series of Best Of awards (including 2009's Best Strip-Mall Italian Restaurant) to a glittering review in 2004 by Jason More >

  • Cafe Jordano

    By Jason Sheehan | Thu, August 23, 2007

  • The Simple Life

    By Jason Sheehan | Thu, September 09, 2004

    It's the simplest thing, and it's almost universally overlooked in the fast-paced, big-business kitchens of the world. There it's a throwaway, a gimme course, with the duty of making it generally given over to the lowest guy on the galley totem po... More >
