About This Place

Nestled in the heart of Denver at 3535 S Yosemite St, Zane's Italian Bistro invites you to indulge in an authentic Italian dining experience that masterfully blends tradition with a vibrant, modern vibe. Specializing in Italian cuisine, this bustling bistro captures the warm, convivial spirit of Italy with a proudly crafted menu that promises a flavorful journey from the first bite to the last.

From the moment you walk in, Zane's charms with its inviting atmosphere—whether you're settling in for a leisurely brunch, a lively pizza night, or catching the big game while savoring exquisite dishes and cocktails. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between casual comfort and energetic buzz, making it ideal for families, friends, and anyone craving genuine Italian fare.

The menu reads like a love letter to classic Italian flavors, elevated with house-made touches that truly set the dishes apart. Start your meal with the vibrant, fresh Bruschetta, which many guests attest to as the best they've ever had—pieces richly crowned with vine-ripened tomatoes, fragrant basil, and drizzled with olive oil that bursts with flavor. For pizza lovers, the 10" personal specialty pies are a must-try: the Prosciutto Provo combines savory prosciutto with melty provolone and tender spinach, while the BBQ Chicken delights with smoky sauce, caramelized onions, and shaved Parmesan. Vegetarians will appreciate the hearty Vegetarian Pizza, brimming with green peppers, black olives, mushrooms, and fresh tomatoes.

If pasta is more your pace, Zane's offers an enticing range from the indulgent Lobster Ravioli to the comforting Chicken Parmesan and the delightfully creamy Penne Pasta and Shrimp Alfredo. Each dish is executed with evident care and freshest ingredients, layering rich flavors and perfect textures that transport you straight to an Italian kitchen.

Don't miss some of the standout appetizers and bar favorites like the crispy, golden Italian Egg Rolls, the flavorful Meatball Sliders, or the famously crave-worthy Garlic Hoagie Roll Pizza. And for a sweet finish, guests rave about the sumptuous Carrot Cake—a velvety, moist treat with just the right touch of spice.

The bistro also shines in its welcoming hospitality. As highlighted by many happy diners, including a repeat visitor who praised Zane's upbeat engagement and a staff that goes above and beyond, every visit feels warm and personal. Children are treated like VIPs too, with special attention including pizza dough fun, adding memorable moments for the whole family.

On game days, Zane’s energy ramps up with specials like the Sunday Football Special—grab a large pizza and enjoy a second one free, perfect for sharing with friends while watching your favorite teams across multiple TVs. The happy hour deals and a well-crafted cocktail menu, featuring top-notch Margaritas, Old Fashioneds, and Espresso Martinis, complement the food beautifully, elevating the overall dining experience.

Whether you’re stopping by for a casual lunch, a festive dinner, or a relaxing afternoon brunch, Zane’s Italian Bistro serves more than food—it offers an experience that feels both authentically Italian and warmly local. Expect exceptional flavors, heartfelt service, and a place you’ll return to again and again.

    Second time in and wow! Happy Hour deal is amazing and the drinks were top notch. We had the Margarita, Old Fashioned, and Marini Expresso. The lunch hour prices were still in effect and we did the pick 2 deal for $15. Food was amazing ! Service was fantastic. Zane talked with us, waiter was attentive and super nice. We'll be coming back here more often and highly recommend! Cheers!

    Such an amazing place! The staff was incredibly welcoming and provided fast, attentive service. This is hands down some of the best Italian food in Denver—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. A special shoutout to Zane, who went above and beyond by making the kiddos feel right at home with some pizza dough, which they absolutely loved. That extra touch truly made the experience unforgettable. This spot is an absolute must—come check it out!

    This restaurant is amazing! We came up for a concert but wanted to eat and watch some football. We were put a table where we could watch multiple tvs. We were also given space to just hang out and catch up. We started with the Bruscetta. When I say it was the best I've had, I'm not kidding. Each piece was over flowing with deliciousness!! We each got a Calzone. I got the spicy Hawaiian and my friend got a build your own. Both Calzones were baked perfectly!!! You had a beautiful buttery crispy crust with the perfect amount of doughy bread. Each calzone was OVERFLOWING with toppings!! It was so filling that i had to take some home. Do not finish your night without grabbing some chocolate canollis!!! They are so good!!! Follow them on TIKTOK!! The owner is constantly doing contests where you can win a night out!!!
