Even so, the focus is unquestionably on the melt-in-your-mouth cuisine. If you don't opt for the tasting menu, try fried mozzarella with lemon aioli as a starter, followed by either a first course of pasta (spicy lobster fra diavolo is recommended) or an entree like parmesan potato-crusted sole or Colorado lamb braciole with goat cheese polenta. Desserts maintain the high standards with concoctions like primacoccia olive oil cake with grilled peaches and lemon gelato.

303-561-0234 | | | | | Description: WEST DENVER. Although it may be part deli and part restaurant, Parisi is all good!

303-321-1919 | | | | | Description: CHERRY CREEK. Although a chain, Piatti maintains an independently-operated kitchen in each location, promising menus that take advantage of an individual region's specialties and seasonal bounty. In Denver, that means dishes featuring farm-fresh meats and cheeses, along with plenty of crisp vegetables. Try Mountain Meadow lamb chops with dried cherries, goat cheese, and roasted potatoes, or Colorado striped bass with organic vegetables from Palizzi Farms. A tree-shaded patio is the natural choice for summer days, but the warm-toned dining room is equally pleasant.
