Where to eat Italian food in Durango: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Find out what Italian restaurants to try in Durango. Once a frontier mining town, Durango draws thousands of tourists year-round for the myriad outdoor recreational activities and scenic beauty. Mountain bikers, rafters, kayakers, horseback riders, rock climbers, hikers, campers, hunters and fishermen are drawn to the two-million acre San Juan National Forest and to the San Juan mountains, the largest range in the Rockies. But the city's biggest tourist draw is a nine-hour historic train ride in a vintage steam locomotive. The Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, which hauled precious metals in the 1880s, now takes tourists for a 47-mile, open-air journey through mountains and forests and past abandoned mines to historic Silverton and back. Children and train buffs will relish the chance to climb into a locomotive and pore over railroad memorabilia at the railroad's museum. Skiers flock to the Durango Mountain Resort in winter, which also offers hiking, fishing, rafting and horseback riding in warmer months. Slow down your pace with a stroll past splendidly restored Victorian buildings in historic Downtown Durango and wind up a very active weekend in a local brewpub or saloon.

We ate here on two separate occasions on vacation in Durango. Located right in town, parking is on street. The menu has plenty of choices/combos and moderately priced. We ordered pizzas and meatball sandwich. The meatball sandwich was excellent and pizzas were very good (could have used a bit more sauce). Would recommend

You will probably start salivating before you walk in to Mutu's when you smell the tantalizing aroma coming from the kitchen. We have eaten here several times - always delicious food, always excellent service, always a great experience. They have several nice seafood choices here which you would not necessarily expect in Southwestern Colorado. If your in the mood for good Italian food in Durango this is the place to go.

The pizza was good. The crust was the best part of the pizza and overall I would rate the experience much higher, if it were not for a few other factors. The parking is quite limited and horribly setup. The are 4 spots and then two extra in the drive itself. I had to go back in to find out who was parked in one of these spots, since there is no way to back out with anyone parked in these spots. I will never go back based on the parking alone. Remove the extra spots that block everyone. Please... adding those two extra spots isn't making a huge difference anyway. My other peev is a common one. You go to a window and order your pizza and they then bring it out. But when using your a credit card you have to select if you want to leave a tip or not. You feel guilty not leaving one, but why would you tip for someone to bring out a pizza. You get your own drinks, plates and utensils. But you still feel bad the whole time.

Do not let the outside fool you, this place has really good Italian food. We were there for dinner and everything we had was very very good. I would recommend you also look at their appetizers, we had two different things and they were devine.
