Exceptional(2093)
Price: Expensive
• Italian • Central
Booked 10 times today
Chef Frank Bonanno dug into his Sicilian heritage and east coast roots to create this authentic, rustic Italian eatery. Luca has amazing personal touches from the daily made breads and pastas to the meats and cheeses cured in house, to the charcoal drawing of Bonanno’s son (and the restaurant’s namesake) that hangs in the dining room. Luca is heartwarming and satisfying from the wood-fired pizzas to the hand-rolled pastas to the perfectly seared proteins. It’s not your ordinary pile-of-pasta-and-sauce Italian joint; it’s the real (and tasty) deal.

• Cocktail Bar • Denver
Booked 1 time today
When we closed the doors to Green Russell on January 1st, 2023, staff took exactly one day to mourn. On January 2nd, we convened at the former Lou’s Food Bar space armed with acrylic paint and wallpaper and a really good Italian disco playlist. Crouching over various projects with sawdust in our hair and paint under our nails, we listened to the low thrumming of voices and laughter next door at Vesper Lounge, full to the brim of drinkers utterly unaware that just beyond the antique shutter doors, something new and lovely was coming to life. This is Salita. Coffee by day, cocktails by night. Happy, glam, full of love. You’re in good hands.

    I’ve been dying to bring my family to Odyssey Italian since I moved to Denver! They absolutely loved it. The pasta dishes are so flavorful and we loved all of the recommendations. 10/10 service from Travis and the whole team. We truly enjoyed our pre-Christmas outing at Odyssey. Thank you!

    Tea at the Brown was a very special family memory, as always. Beautiful, friendly service, in this beautiful, historic hotel that is such a Denver treasure. The longevity of the staff is part of what makes this experience so exceptional. I look forward to seeing the same people time after time, year after year, and they always remember me and my children. There's an institutional memory of history and tradition that only long-term staff can maintain. Thank you to the entire tea-team for many happy family memories!

    I am Mexican, from Jalisco and Michoacán. 100% de Agave has a wonderful menu that satisfies both the Tex-Mex, Mexican American fans, alongside those of us who prefer a menu that reminds of us our mama’s home cooking. Top notch happy hour and service, plus an under-rated brunch.
