Where to Go for Italian Food in and Around Denver

"While a crackerjack front-of-house team maintains this Frasca sibling’s reputation for above-and-beyond service, rising star chef Cody Cheetham is making sure the food lives up to the wine-splashed experience. Against an ultra-chic backdrop at the edge of Union Station’s railway platform, he celebrates the seasons through dishes that might involve boar and truffles or sweetbreads and celery root in the colder months, Dungeness crab and fennel or scallops with nettles and green garlic in warmer weather (though the lobster tagliatelle and roast chicken for two are forever); he also turns out a handsome array of cicchetti, to use the Venetian term for small plates, to pair with aperitivi at happy hour." - Eater Staff, Ruth Tobias
