Description

The original Virgilio's opened in Lakewood in 2005, and became so popular that owner and pizza master Virgilio Urbano opened a second location in an old Johnny Carino's in the summer of 2010. Although the Lakewood store has closed, this Virgilio’s in Littleton is going very, very strong. The behemoth, 6,400-square-foot space features an exhibition kitchen, cherry-red booths, a huge wine cabinet, a long back-lit bar complete with a 32-bottle Enomatic wine system imported from Italy, private rooms (one bedecked with a fireplace and walls patched with faux-Italian artwork), Sinatra pics and black-and-white photos from Urbano's family album. The entire effect is reminiscent of a red-sauce Italian joint. And you’ll find the menu loaded with classics, including pizzas, pastas, sandwiches, salads and cheeses (housemade burrata and mozzarella), as well as two daily happy hours that feature very generous pours.
