About Us

Our History

The legend began in 1979 when Bisetti's Ristorante was opened in historic downtown Fort Collins.

Ena (Bar Manager), James (Chef), Robert and Heather Bisetti (Owners), Nick (Sous Chef), Emily (General Manager) and Shauna (Banquet Manager)

The small, quaint restaurant sat 50 guests and was the dream of Bob and Anita Bisetti. The old-world-style restaurant quickly became a success.

In 1988, the Bisetti’s son, Robert, and his wife, Heather, purchased the restaurant and formed a strong partnership with Robert running the kitchen and Heather managing the dining room. Soon thereafter, they expanded the original restaurant to 175 seats and have remained committed to providing fresh, high-quality food and friendly, accommodating service.
