If you have ever had made-from-scratch Italian food, you know it is unbelievably good and that no processed, pre-made noodles or sauce will ever compare. Since not everyone is blessed enough to have a Nonna to cook for them, we found the next best thing: Southern Colorado's DiRito's and all its freshly-made fare. It’s easily one of the best restaurants in Canon City, Colorado.
There is no place like DiRito's in Canon City. This family-owned eatery specializes in authentic, generation-old recipes.
Established in 2001, DiRito's will make you feel like you're dining at an Italian cafe, thanks to its ambiance and decor.
While the atmosphere is reason enough to visit, it's the food that makes DiRito's so unforgettable, beginning with its made-from-scratch fare.
From their homemade bread and roasted garlic to noodles and sauce to their meat dishes and desserts, there is plenty of tasty Italian food to enjoy at DiRito's.
What will you choose: Sauteed shrimp alfredo with tomatoes and fresh spinach? A New York Style Calzone with homemade dough and farm-fresh ingredients? How about a specialty pizza, like the Olive You or Bianco Pollo?
If you can't decide, you'll have to return for seconds!
Save room for dessert, as DiRito's also serves tiramisu, cheesecake, and lemon chiffon.
When we say everything is made from scratch, we mean it!
