I wanted to start off by saying the reason why I'm giving this place five stars is because of the hospitality and the professionalism that Logan the assistant manager has offered we go there maybe twice a week order steak order salmon even come there for drinks. Everything is 10 out of 10. The food is perfect atmosphere is perfect. The ambience is perfect. Definitely a place to bring people if you have guest out of town we unfortunately had a bad experience with our food to go which is common during homecoming and things like that I understand the restaurant is busy and we just gave a simple phone call to Logan saying hey the food didn't come out right is there anything that we can do and the gentleman had taken it upon himself to correct and rectify the problem just to absolute 11 out of 10 for Logan and his staff. Thank you so much Wood recommend this to anyone best Italian in Fort Collins.

We had a dinner reservation at 4:00 and were seating immediately after the restaurant opened. Our server (I don't remember his name) was extremely helpful and attentive without being overbearing. We first ordered the antipasto which was DELICIOUS and the portions were good sized. The antipasto was $25 for 8 selections which I think is a fair price for the portion sizes. This alone is worth a visit! For the entree we had the Bistecca Alla Fiorentina with chived potatoes, tiger prawns and scallops. The prawns were good, the scallops were great and the chived potatoes were creamy, whipped and light. The steak, on the other hand, was pretty disappointing. It was cooked to a perfect rare but was quite dry and shockingly lacking in flavor. Definitely would not recommend it for $87. The house RARE Pinot Grigio was lovely!! We will definitely come back for the antipasto and maybe a pasta dish, but definitely pass on the steak selection!

As a group of five we shared, Caesar salad, calamari, and the polenta. All great dishes!

There are no vegetarian pasta dishes explicitly on the menu, but our server was kind enough to say any could really be modified or another created all together! So I was able to get a veggie vodka sauce dish that was really quite good. The portion was a bit small, I was able to eat the whole portion and not feel overly full. The flexibility of the menu really won me over, and the willingness to accommodate vegetarians.

This place has a great ambiance and perfect for a fancy night out. We had to make a reservation here a couple days early for a 7pm slot on a Sunday night. The waiter was very kind and helpful about the menu. We got their seasonal burrata. It had some squash, sage, cranberries, etc. It was really delicious! It came with focaccia bread which was NOT good. It tasted more like a corn bread with how dry and not-fluffy it was. The free bread on the table was way better than the focaccia (also their whipped salted butter is amazing). Their steak was SO GOOD. We got medium rare and it was perfectly cooked. It's dry aged and the fat was rendered perfectly, it was delicious without the au jus that we ordered extra on the side. The potato and carrots were also full of flavor and complimented the steak well. I ordered their surf and turf. I would say I liked this dish, but the unshelled razor clams were no good. I don't know what I was expecting from a landlocked state, but the "surf" part was not executed well. With that being said, the "turf" sausage was very delicious. It was like night and day between the two proteins. But overall the linguine and the sauce were cooked well! We ended the night with a couple scoops of vanilla gelato. I was very happy about it because it was very creamy, and not icy at all.

What an awesome Italian restaurant located in the heart of Fort Collins. Many have recommended Rare to us and we are happy to say it lives up to the hype. We started off with the arancini and then had the Tamarin al Ragu and the Surf and Turf linguini. We also got a side of the Chili & Honey glazed Brussels Sprouts. The arancini was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The pasta is incredibly fresh and you can tell it is handmade. I normally prefer a more substantial pasta like parpadelle for ragu but was pleasantly surprised with this thinner pasta. The surf and turf was not too "fishy" with a perfect amount of brine. The Brussels Sprouts were seasoned very well with the chili and honey glaze. I didn't think there was too much spice. Most of the dish were the individual Brussels leaves vs the whole head. Rare would be a great option for a date night, special occasion dinner, or a perfect stop in for when you are in the mood for good Italian food. They also have a great happy hour menu. The menu includes a variety of seasonal ingredients. We dined in the late summer and had a hard time choosing (so many good salad options!). I would love to come back and try more of their seasonal offerings.

This restaurant is our new favorite restaurant when we visit Fort Collins. We were celebrating a birthday and our server made sure everyone felt special. The food was absolutely amazing! And the decor and ambiance was perfect for a romantic date or celebration with a group of friends.

Loved the vibe, food and service!!! Total 5 star experience! We were all so grateful that our 4:00 reservation at the Regional Food apparently got lost (though we showed them the confirmed email from Resy) and just didn't end up working out. All of us were so thrilled with RARE. The shrimp bruschetta was to die for. The garlic butter sauce and so perfectly cooked shrimp were fantastic. The Charcuterie board was super fun with figs, ricotta and all of the 5 meats. The entrees were all super fresh and so delicious. We all left super happy. Thanks RARE Italian for the really memorable experience.
