Coperta

Cuisine: Italian
Neighborhood: Capitol Hill/Uptown/City Park

400 E. 20th Ave. Denver, CO 80205

720-749-4666

In 2016, Paul and Aileen Reilly, the brother-and-sister duo behind the beloved, now-closed Beast + Bottle, opened this cozy restaurant that pays homage to the food of Southern Italy. Under chef de cuisine Kenny Minton, it continues to offer some of the finest pasta in town, as well as dreamy, house-baked focaccia and longtime customer go-to’s like pollo alla diavola, a spicy dish that’s best followed by a scoop of olive oil gelato. Another new go-to: Coperta’s ongoing Little Italy Night series complete with red checkered table cloths, chianti and Italian American favorites.
