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.
