Around Town
The Mile High City has earned a reputation for terrific arts, culture, sports and an outstanding restaurant scene. While the cuisine choices are vast, here are some top-rated Italian eateries in the greater Denver area for our residents at The Apartments at Denver Place to experience.
SPUNTINO
This Highlands favorite eatery crafts seasonally-changing menus. Owned and operated by husband and wife, Elliot Strathmann and Chef Cindhura Reddy, the duo leans more toward old-world Italian service and local ingredients than traditional dishes. The food might be best called “Italian-inspired,” but it packs a serious wow factor. Customers tend to rave about Spuntino’s Colorado goat dishes. It’s a can’t miss experience located at 2639 W. 32nd Ave.
BAR DOUGH
Another Highlands mainstay, Bar Dough features Denver’s signature Chef Max MacKissock. The former Squeaky Bean chef did stints in Italy and New York before setting into the Mile High City. The eatery has earned a stellar reputation for freshly created pasta and wood-fired pizzas. The restaurant also houses a lovely Italian wine list and offers fun Italian sodas for kids. Located at 2227 W. 32nd Ave., Bar Dough is a palate-quenching experience.
OSTERIA MARCO
This Downtown restaurant walks a straight line by focusing on simple Italian dishes. Osteria Marco avoids trying to be overly complicated but invests its time wisely by curing hand-crafted meats and artisanal cheeses in-house. Chef Frank Bonanno explores the “dry Italian” tradition of dishes without the commonly expected sauce pairings. The dining experience trends toward unique and the wine list won’t break the bank. Located at 1453 Larimer St., Osteria Marco makes simple exciting.
BAROLO GRILL
Touting complimentary valet parking, the Barolo Grill emphasizes Northern Italian dishes, traditionally from the Piedmont and Tuscany regions. The simple, elegant restaurant works closely with area farms and utilizes locally produced ingredients. The staff also places a high value on an impressive wine selection. Located at 3030 E. 6th Ave., Barolo Grill is an attractive choice for special occasions.
