Open daily for breakfast and lunch only, this Louisiana-inspired favorite got its start in Boulder in 1980 and now has six locations in Colorado. Your experience here comes with a dash of Creole country kitsch, with knickknacks hanging from the walls and silverware wrapped in brightly colored fabric. Start with powdered sugar-covered beignets and your […]
If you like fondue, you’ll go weak in the knees for the Melting Pot. This national chain has two locations in metro Denver – one in a lovely old Carnegie library in Littleton, the other in Louisville. Fondue may be delicious, but it’s also a pain to make and clean up, so it’s much better […]

Romano’s opened in 1967 on a sleepy little street a few blocks from Littleton’s Old Town. For almost fifty years now, it’s been serving big plates of homemade spaghetti covered with a dense, garlicky red sauce that’s so good you’ll want it poured over just about everything else offered here. Like the neighborhood itself, nothing’s […]
