Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Chef Pino Saverino closed his Italian restaurant in Cherry Hills Village earlier this year for a remodel and expansion as well as a slight name change. Pino's Place is now open at 1400 East Hampden Avenue, once again serving lunch and dinner to the neighborhood around Swedish Medical Center, on the edge of Englewood.
The highlights of the new design are a full bar with about fourteen seats, a chef''s counter with another half-dozen, and a warm new dining room with polished concrete floors, modern lighting and sleek leather chairs. The restaurant is open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and the owner says that even once-slow Mondays are now busy. Check the restaurant's website for an expanded menu and a schedule of Sunday cooking classes, the first of which will be held on July 17. Keep reading for a few more photos.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
