Dagotto’s Panini Bistro

Far from impressed. I love Panini’s this were not worth coming back for. You’d be better off buying sandwich supplies at the grocery and making your own sandwich. Ambiance is non-​existent.

I had the Italian beef panini. It comes with the pepper giardinara and jus. It was so flavorful and the jus was savory and delicious. The price is comparable to most sandwich places now a days but wow its worth it here. I used to eat an Italian sliced beef sandwich at another place a few years ago and that one was incredible. Dagottos has matched that, and there is so much more on the menu I need to try. I love Italian meats and they have some with mortadella, capicola, salami etc. Also with peppers. I will be back, time and time again. Sooo good.

Best hot panini in Golden. So great they do gf bread for free. Fast and friendly. Their Original Italian is to die for. Good deserts too. Love this relatively new business in the main downtown area.

Food is fantastic and the friendly staff make for a great dining experience. The cozy atmosphere feels like you stepped into Italy in Golden.

They have great panini’s here and I especially love the pizza panini. Great for going by yourself and with groups.

Really good paninis. There were many different choices (probably 30 or more) plus salads. We took out paninis and went to eat them at the park two blocks away overlooking the stream. We had a great day eating a yummy Cowboy panini (bison sandwich) and a Caprese panini. Excellent food for a lovely picnic. — My only caution is that everything is made fresh and to order, so expect to wait 5 minutes for your sandwich.

The paninies we had were not what you expect when you think of a panini. They weren’t pressed. That aside, these were very good Italian sandwiches. They also have a lot of sandwiches on their menu. For those that complain about service, it’s order at the counter. There isn’t much less service than that. My wife says the ladies could go just for the bread. I have to agree, the bread was fresh, and very good.

My friend and I had lunch there today. I had a very good vegetarian panini with a local brew. Which was really nice to see a reasonable beer price and support of the local brews. Janet was the perfect host! And you can sit outside with your dog! Awesome! I will be back for Thursday night martini panini night!

Ordered the Cowboy Panini and it was excellent. The buffalo was thick cut and they did not skimp on the portion you received. High quality bacon that just tied in everything else from the rest of the sandwich. Note for all of you taking it to go etc. it keeps very well for about 30 minutes or so!
Will be revisiting Dagotto’s soon.

Awesome place! Authentic Italian food and ambiance. The inside is a wonderful place to sit with the Italian music playing and a beautiful painting on the entire back wall of the collussium in Rome. The outside is also a very very good choice for seating especially in the evening Thursday-​Saturday when they are open until 8:00 pm, because they have wonderful lamps on the wall outside they turn on when it begins to turn to dusk outside and you can watch the sunset over the Table Mountain. The food was absolutely delicious and 5 stars would not be a sufficient rating. They have some vegetarian and vegan options which is great as I am a vegetarian. I ordered the grilled caprese panini, and it was one of the best I’ve ever had! I also ordered a refreshing blood orange sparkling San Pellegrino and a side of penne pasta with the spicy marinara sauce which was amazing with just the right amount of spiciness. Our order came with bread and butter. For dessert we had the Lemoncello’ Mascarpone Cake and some Cannolis to go. The cake was perfectly moist and not too rich and heavy, with an AMAAZINGG creamy lemon flavor. The cannolis were some of the best I’ve had as well. The service was absolutely excellent. Everyone who works there was so friendly, accomodating, welcoming, and had a great sense of humor. We felt like family! Our main waitor was Tony and he was very nice and we got into a long conversation with him about Golden and the restaurant. The place is great for lunch as they are open until 3:00 pm most days, 5:00 pm on Sundays, and is also great for dinner Thursday-​Saturday. They have an extensive menu of authentic Italian paninis, sandwiches, soup, salads, pasta, and yummy desserts! You can sit inside or outside, (outside seating is limited to two tables.) And you decide what you want to eat then order and pay up front at the counter. Then they provide full waitor service. You can also order takeout. We came here on a Friday evening and the paninis were only $ 5 each for a full instead of $ 7 so I think they run a special for those on Fridays. You should go check it out for sure because you will experience wonderful food, service, prices, and ambiance!

This place is great! The Italian beef is amazing and so are the cannoli. 5 star for sure.

Golden is a sweet little town. This is a nice place to pop in and eat. Recommend the salmon panini and muffaletta. Quiet venue.

Amazing food, great service at an awesome price! Clean and in a great location. Couldn’t have eaten cheaper with a family of 5 in Golden.

If I could give them a zero I would but you have to put at least one star. The service was incredibly poor. Three staff members stood silently behind the counter as we tried to figure out if we were supposed to sit or order at the counter. With no greeting, instruction or eye contact we decided to sit.
No one came over and after about five minutes we went to the counter and finally someone came up to take our order and still no pleasantries, just a blank stare and very slow response. after eating we realized they charged us for a full size when we ordered a half. My husband asked for them to correct the issue but instead they argued and said to get out of here. Besides the food was not that good. It seems someone needs a lesson in how to treat customers.

I second the review that criticized the service here. It was slow, and rather un-​attentive. Thomas Keller’s phrase «sense of urgency» should be plastered on the front and back of the house. Wanting to order takeaway, I stood at the counter for a few minutes in front of a bunch of employees, and eventually, I just had to ask them if they would take my order. Five minutes later they are finally ringing me up for it. The kitchen wasn’t slow per se, it was just getting the ticket into the system. I had the cowboy panini, and it was decent. The buffalo was a little dry and chewy though. The focaccia bread wasn’t great. Again dry and heavy when it should be light and fluffy.

Hey Chicago area transplants! Dagotto’s Italian Beef sandwich is better than Portillo’s!
Moved to Colorado 5 years ago. Love everything about Colorado except for NO GOOD ITALIAN BEEF sandwich shop, until now!

AMAZING Greek salad! Super fresh greens and veggies and incredible dressing. I added a seared salmon filet to it and it was cooked perfectly. We were in Golden for 5 days from Houston and I ate there multiple times and had the exact same thing: Large Greek with feta on the side and add a seared salmon filet. It was always good! The gentleman at the front is great, fast, and friendly. Love this place!

Visited Dagotto’s after our tour of Coors brewery. The absolute perfect cap for our exploration of Golden. We had a variety of paninis and shared them amongst our group. Not a single dish went unloved!
The service was spectacular. Very personable and engaging! Helped give us a deeper appreciation for how Golden played a role in historical Colorado!
Great food, excellent staff and will most definitely will be singing the praises back in our state! Love it.

First and foremost, staff is excellent.
Second, the food is delicious and perfectly portioned.
Third, I will be back.

I am lovin’ me some Dagotto’s!
They are right around the corner from my office, so I have been meaning to check them out for awhile now. Last week I finally held true to my promise to try them for lunch. Holy moly they are good!
I ordered the half Italian sausage panini. It came with perfectly carmalized onions and the «Dagotto Spread». Not sure what was in the spread but it was addicting. I was licking the paper when I was done.
I also got the half tuna salad. This was good, put nothing really stood out as different about it to me. I hear their chicken salads are amazing, so I will definitely try that out.
Add on the delicious Italian soda I got and I was in Panini heaven. I will happily return on future lunch breaks.
