In 2007, things like burrata, housemade salumi and Sunday pig roasts weren’t part of the Italian-restaurant lexicon in Denver, but restaurateur Frank Bonanno made them household phrases, serving less common regional dishes alongside pizza and panini to help demystify the more esoteric side of Italian cuisine. These days, Negronis, fresh Italian cheeses and boards of […]

The youngest of the Den Corner of restaurants run by Toshi and Yasu Kizaki, Ototo offers a more intimate experience, not to mention robatayaki – skewered meats and vegetables grilled over charcoal. But the concise menu also encompasses other Japanese specialties, whether you’re in the mood for expertly sliced sashimi, a rich bowl of ramen, […]
Hanging out at the OMF taproom is like being at a house party; there are often more folks standing around than sitting down. They’re part of a fun, diverse and younger crowd than you find at your typical brewery. The beer matches that demographic as well – IPAs, lagers, and barrel-aged, smoked and experimental beers. […]
Mark Tarbell, owner of the Oven, is one of those great chefs who understands that he’s cooking dinner for friends every night. And when you’re cooking for friends, you want to take care of them. At the Oven, this translates to handmade pizza dough, organic ingredients and locally sourced stock, artisan sauces, housemade mozzarella that […]
Denver musician Nathaniel Rateliff teamed up with a couple of his bandmembers and the owners of the hi-dive to take over the former Bushwacker’s Saloon and unveil it as the Overland in the summer of 2016. But don’t go here because you’re a fan of the Night Sweats; the team has created a bona fide […]

The Owl is packed with treasures, from license plates to old maps that sit under the bartop glass to a sign from the former Sid King’s strip club. Look up and you’ll see a collection of dollar bills, à la the currently-closed-for-renovations Bucksnort Saloon in Pine. Settle in for a mystery shot, a cold beer […]
The kitchen at P.F. Chang’s is a machine, pumping out plates by the thousands every day, each one perfectly in line with the corporate recipes that have made this one of the most successful chains in the country. Fortunately, some of those plates — like the fat shrimp dumplings and Cantonese roasted duck — would […]
After nearly a decade, chef/owner Mary Nguyen decided to transform her popular Vietnamese restaurant Parallel 17 into P17, a European bistro that reflects how popular the Uptown neighborhood has become – and how much it could use a neighborhood hangout. Nguyen’s visits to Europe, specifically to the modest bistros that are so ubiquitous there, inspired […]
If there is one food item besides green chile that Coloradans are passionate about, it’s breakfast burritos. Most people are fiercely loyal to their favorites, but Pablito’s is worth mixing up your routine for. This trailer, started by the team at Abrusci’s Fire & Vine, operates in the restaurant’s parking lot. Pablito’s offers four standard […]
In this world of hurry up and wait, personal digital devices have become our steady companions – but not at Pablo’s Coffee on Colfax Avenue. While phones are as ubiquitous here as anywhere, this Denver coffee shop’s absence of wi-fi means more talking, more laughing and more staring into the eyes of your Tinder date […]

Named after a Boston-area blacksmith from the late 1800s, Paddy the Yank (formerly Patrick Carroll’s) was started by one of his descendants in 2005. This Berkeley neighborhood watering hole is an updated take on the traditional Irish pub, one of the few in the area. While the cozy, inviting spot brings in a decent lunch […]
A quintessential red-sauce joint that’s been serving northwest Denver for more than fifty years. The bottomless pot of minestrone comes with the meal, the bread is the kind of thick, spongy Italian that’s ideal for sopping up the gravylike red sauce, the pastas are made in-house, and the zabaglione-custard-topped tiramisu is a wonder.
What Denver power brokers, money-drenched tourists and suited tots forced by their parents to adopt the Emily Post regimen would do without this bastion of elegance in the Brown Palace is anyone’s guess. The Palace Arms dances to Old World sensibilities and is one of the last high-end standbys in the city, where pinstripes and […]
The Palace is like a veiled citadel hidden in plain sight, a secret fortress protecting a big secret. And that secret is great food, including dim sum on the weekends and prix fixe lunch and dinner specials every day — along with a large regular menu that’s heavy on all the standards done much better […]

Eat it again, Sam. And again, and again. The exotic Moroccan fare at Casablanca is so stellar that you’ll keep coming back for more. The best way to sample it is by ordering a four-course, fixed-price dinner. But fair warning: The kitchen and staff are often overloaded.
The interplay between food and wine is a passion for Vivek and Sanju Beri, owners of the Palate Food + Wine Bar in Greenwood Village. “Wine pairings can be such magical experiences,” says Sanju, a certified sommelier who honed her hospitality skills as general manager at fine-dining restaurants in Longmont and Lake Tahoe. “If you […]
Mezcal mecca Palenque originally opened in 2018 as a second location of Adelitas but took the Palenque name after former co-owners Silvia Andaya (who still runs the original on Broadway) and Brian Rossi cut ties in 2020. Two years into its new iteration, there’s no better place south of the city to learn about – […]
When Palettes opened, in 1997, heads turned. Not as much as they did years later to take in the Hamilton wing of the Denver Art Museum, with its shiny triangular facade and vertiginous stairs, but they turned all the same. Until then, dining was an afterthought to art, and hungry museum-goers in Denver were faced […]
