"There may be no better place to wine and dine someone special than at this white tablecloth stalwart of Northern Italian cuisine at the edge of Cherry Creek. Here, opportunities to splurge abound, whether on a four-course tasting menu, on a bottle of the eponymous wine, and/or on the addition of shaved truffles to any dish (perhaps lobster risotto or gnocchi with braised lamb and pickled cranberries). That said, it’s an open secret among locals that the cozy bar was made for more casual weeknight getaways." - Ruth Tobias
