In need of real Italian food!

Don't get me wrong, I love living out in Colorado, but one of the biggest drawbacks is that the Italian food out here sucks. Most people out here seem to think that Maggiano's or the Olive Garden is authentic Italian, when a better comparison would be that those two places are the McDonald's of Italian. I do know about Carmine's, which is very good, but otherwise I'm SOL on that. So I'm asking my readers, if you know anyplace, let me know. I'm craving some veal parmesean, scallopini-- a place where they serve romano with you food instead of shakable grated parmasean. It's definitely not like the food I grew up on!
