Where to Dine in the RiNo Neighborhood

"With what’s still one of the handsomest dining rooms in town, Milan-born chef-owner Andrea Frizzi’s date-night pick would be worth a visit even if the food weren’t good. The bonus is that it is. The kitchen hews closely to Italian tradition while taking a few modern liberties, yielding results like octopus carpaccio with corn and peaches in Dijon citronette or Swiss chard–celery root cannelloni with ricotta and smoked mozzarella. The bar, for its part, is well-stocked with not only an all-Italian wine selection but an array of aperitivi and digestivi to kick off and cap off the evening." - Eater Staff, Ruth Tobias
