My friend and I had a blast at happy hour here recently -- and it's a pretty good HH deal, too!
We shared a carafe of rosé wine and an antipasti board with our 4 choices: taleggio cheese, castelvetrano olives, housemade burrata with an incredible cherry apricot mustard (I'm not sure how to spell that, it's not like ketchup & mustard, it's MOO-stard), and the finochietta which is the leaner of the salami meats of the options our bartender said (he was right!). That taleggio cheese was so unique! It's skunky and mild at the same time, and don't leave the rind, it's soft and edible. The burrata was worth getting for the "moo-stard" chutney like spread -- SO delicious!
Then, I tried the meatballs and polenta on happy hour (polpette appetizer) and thought it was going to be quite small, but it wasn't! 4 full meatballs on a bed of creamy polenta, I had a hard time finishing after the board & wine.
On top of that we ordered truffle fries, too. They tasted great, but I'll be honest, I like thick fries more than I do super skinny fries. Wish these were beefier and more potato-y. Glad they were on $5 for HH.
We sat at the bar, it was only two of us. I like service much better at the bar, but it was a very small bar at that. 10 chairs (I want to say) were a real squeeze to fit in there.
If you find yourself in Fort Collins or needing someplace to grab happy hour, this is definitely worth it!
