Many food trucks have exploded on the scene, and not all of them have been in it for the long haul. But the Vegan Van, which first hit the streets in November 2011, now has a steady route of regular stops where people make a point of showing up to try whatever seasonal favorites chef […]

While owner Alessandro Carollo’s restaurant in LoDo gets most of the attention, his Venice in Englewood is almost always packed – and with good reason. Once you walk in the door of this elegant restaurant, it’s easy to forget that you’re in a strip mall. The surroundings are sumptuous, with white linen on every table […]
This second Venice from owner Alessandro Carollo is a beauty: coldly stylish, undeniably luxurious, and with a menu that reads like a primer of every good idea the Italians ever had. It’s expensive, though not murderously so. It’s fancy, though jacket and tie are not required. But most important, this restaurant finally offers a fitting […]
According to proprietor Andrea Frizzi, Vero was born when Central Market developer Ken Wolf asked the Italian chef if he knew anyone who could do pizza. “I said, ‘Dude. The fuck?’” recalls Frizzi. And he signed the lease for a market stall the next day. Vero offers Milanese-style pizza, which is thinner and crispier than […]

In the fall of 2012, restaurateur Frank Bonanno took over one of the town’s most notorious watering holes: the Lancer Lounge, located right between Mizuna, the flagship of Bonanno Concepts, and the current location of Salita. At the Vesper, there’s no fuss over housemade bitters, no two-hour wait, no specially chipped ice – just reasonably […]
Dan Dunne always wanted to open a casual pizzeria. But Vi
Jammed into the corner of the Far East Center, Viet’s is the unsung emperor of Vietnamese restaurants, the handsome prince among the plebes of Federal Boulevard, the kind of discovery that every gastronaut dreams of making. And there’s no discovery here more dazzling than the House Special, which includes an array of different dishes – […]
The pristine white facade and nautical blue logo of Vietnam Bay, an unassuming joint on South Federal, don’t begin to hint at the collision of cuisines within. Like its predecessor Red Claw, Vietnam Bay specializes in Cajun-tinged seafood platters, odd mash-ups of Louisiana flavors with Vietnamese ingredients, and straight-up drinking food accented with delta spirit […]
Fresh, pungent herbs, pronounced spices, big plates and lovely service are the hallmarks of Vietnam Grill, a busy strip-mall scene-stealer on Federal Boulevard that, like its neighboring competition, is all bright lights and no-frills decor. But this isn’t a see-and-be-seen joint: You come here for the dazzling, adventurous food – and you keep returning because […]

When it was unveiled just before the start of the 2013 baseball season, ViewHouse immediately upped the ante on entertainment in the Ballpark neighborhood. Lotus Clubs founder Francois Safieddine bought the former Nisei Veterans post, which for decades had housed Mori Japanese Restaurant, and raised the roof – literally – to transform it into a […]
When it was unveiled just before the start of the 2013 baseball season, ViewHouse Ballpark immediately upped the ante on entertainment in the neighborhood. Lotus Clubs founder Francois Safieddine clearly had a winner on his hands. Just over a year later, he opened ViewHouse Centennial in the former Rhythms/Trail Dust Steakhouse location, and it didn’t […]
For years, if you needed a place to take a date, you’d go to the Village Cork. If you were meeting up with the girls, you’d go to the Village Cork. But when it was time for dinner, you’d go elsewhere. Now, thanks to a makeover in fall 2014, this onetime wine bar is on […]
Many of Denver’s old red-sauce joints have dried up, but Vincenza’s revived the tradition when it opened in Wheat Ridge close to a decade ago. The emphasis here is on authentic Italian fare – whether the breads and cookies sold out of the counter up front, or the fried polenta on the breakfast menu, or […]
Vine Street Pub, one of the Mountain Sun spots, has been brewing its own beer since 2012, which makes it a particularly welcome hangout in Denver’s City Park neighborhood. A four-year closure starting in 2020 felt much, much longer to the spot’s loyal fans, who were ecstatic to hear of its reopening in June 2024. […]

Bring cash and an appetite to this Vietnamese bakery on Federal Boulevard, because it doesn’t accept credit cards, and you’ll want to eat your way through the brief but tasty banh mi menu. We love the meatball sandwich, but barbecued pork and grilled chicken also satisfy. The fresh-baked baguettes alone are worth the trip, but […]
There are a lot of options for banh mi in the metro area these days, but the Huynh family that founded Vinh Xuong Bakery served the sandwiches decades before son Duc Huynh opened his stylish and sunny cafe in 2011. He’s continued his family’s banh mi tradition of using baguettes baked in the shop every […]
This nearly fifty-year-old spot has a crew of friendly staffers ready to greet you like a family member they just met. The small menu board lists a variety of options, but most people come for one thing: the Italian sausage sandwich. Don’t expect a huge, messy, red-sauce-soaked situation here. Instead, Vinnola’s serves a housemade, flat […]
The original Virgilio’s opened in Lakewood in 2005, and became so popular that owner and pizza master Virgilio Urbano opened a second location in an old Johnny Carino’s in the summer of 2010. Although the Lakewood store has closed, this Virgilio’s in Littleton is going very, very strong. The behemoth, 6,400-square-foot space features an exhibition […]
