My husband and I chose to try this new restaurant in La Veta for our 30th anniversary. We were blown away. Dacia was our server and she was exceptional. She knew the menu, ingredients, wines and her recommendations were on point. She was also friendly, fun and cute as could be. We ordered the calamari and mussels for starters. Both were incredible. The calamari was rings and tentacles, perfectly lightly breaded and fried. The Romesco sauce it was served with was also exceptional. The mussels were the best we've ever had! Both portions were great for the prices. Next, we split the caesar salad - very good, not over dressed, and easily large enough for two. Lastly, we split the Bison Bolognese - perfect. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the bison was tender and moist with tons of flavor. We didn't get a main because we were full but look forward to trying the Osso Bucco in the future. We went with The Big Easy wine because we love Fess Parker wines. It was fantastic. I would highly recommend this restaurant and be sure and ask for Dacia - you won't be disappointed.

Tiramisu
A very nice addition to this beautiful small community. The spaghetti, not on the menu, was very good, our server was very attentive, the venue is well done, comfortable and attractive.
Took notice of the bartender as he thoroughly inspected and polished every glass before pouring drinks from the bar.

The food is AMAZING, the staff is friendly and attentive! I’ve never been to Italy but I know the owner has, and he brought it back for all to enjoy! The details and thought that have been put into this restaurant, is and will be, all about the taste and experience! Stiano is brand new to this tiny mountain town, but is very much large city dining. You won’t regret it!

Located at the La Veta Inn, this new spot is going to be a family fave. The decor, atmosphere, and the wonderful staff make this a must visit! The kids and I each had a hero; meatball, chicken, and eggplant. They were devoured earnestly! And for you #chileheads, chef makes his own crushed red pepper with serranos. Just the right heat level for the sandwich with an amazing taste.

My family and I did a progressive dinner with the Stiano sister restaurant, Lokal Burger (double LOCAL beef on each burger)! We decided to eat dessert at Stiano! We ate the Tiramisu, the Chef special Black Cherry Tiramisu, and the rice pudding! You can’t go wrong with any that you order because they are all DELICIOUS!! The Black Cherry Tiramisu was paired extremely well with a Coffee Martini! We will be back!

I was really surprised to find this great little Italian joint off the beaten path. Amazing food, super friendly staff, prices were perfect. I live in metro Denver, and will likely go back to La Veta in the future, just to eat here.

I am impressed with this place. For this small town, this has big city chef tastes. I am gluten free, they accommodated me well. I had a ribeye. So good! Highly recommend.
