"While it has rustic good looks and a high-energy crowd in common with Barcelona Wine Bar, its Spanish sibling a few blocks away, this RiNo arrival distinguishes itself with a breezy Mediterranean menu and beverage program all its own. Smart small plates like chicken liver mousse with plum mostarda and crostini, baked lumache in spicy crab sauce with preserved lemon, and chicken paillard with almonds and olives pair perfectly with equally snazzy cocktails, including the Porto Cooler with cachaça, Rosé Port, raspberry shrub, and tonic — but don’t overlook the wine list: It’s a treasure trove of lesser-known finds from the region such as Ligurian Lumassina and Irouléguy Rouge, the majority of them organically and/or biodynamically farmed." - Ruth Tobias, Eater Staff
