Meet Jimmy and Lasinda and their three children - Connor, Niko and Brittany.
Jimmy and Lasinda have lived in Highlands Ranch over the past 20 years and have built their family and their career around the restaurant industry. Lone Tree has been the melting pot of their career over the past 20 years, where Jimmy opened Bahama Breeze, Brio Tuscan Grille and was part of the management team at P.F. Chang's in Park Meadows. Lasinda served and managed at Outback Steakhouse in Highlands Ranch and is a true barista at heart, having been the GM at Nordstrom Ebar and Peaberry Coffee. Jimmy and Lasinda's combination of family values, customer service and love for food is what has kept Cranelli's thriving for years.
We welcome you to visit our cozy, family-feel restaurant and try some of their signature dishes like Lasagna, Linguine & Clams or our signature Italian Margarita to name a few. Check out our warm and quiet patio seating.

    We LOVE Cranelli’s, food is always amazing, service is always on point! This time we went on a Friday & it was crazy loud in there. The music was way too loud!! It was hard to have a conversation with the other people at my table. Might stick to just the weekdays or next time maybe ask to have the music turned down. Overall it was a good dinner.

    As usual food and service was great. This is a place that folks go to be happy, and they are in the right place! Great improvement in the sound level with the addition of the acoustic clouds. Keep up the good work.

    Nice, cozy atmosphere. We hadn’t been here in a while, and they expanded, which was so nice. The owner even gave us free Garlic Knots for accommodating a wheel chair, which we would have obviously done anyway. That was just extra nice gesture. The pasta is very good. I would recommend this place.
