2 places come to mind for lunch: Osteria Marco and Wynkoop Brewpub. Both easy walking distance. http://www.osteriamarco.com/ http://www.wynkoop.com/

OpenTable.com just sent out an E-notice of restaurants that are open that day. Here’s the list: Denver Carmine’s On Penn French 250 Locanda Del Borgo Maggiano’s – Denver Pavilions Miyama Japanese Steak House...

before I-225, I ended up at Osteria Marco yet again. Thought I would do dessert and coffee at Rioja afterwards, but was entirely too full. Ran into an acquaintance who told me about a new wine shop at 19th and Market called Sip...

Yeah I must say I wouldn’t choose any of the ones on your list (though I know this board has some L'Osteria fans—I’m not one of them). I agree w/ Terramia and Antico Forno; I also like Maurizio’s, Sage,...

1) Alle Testiere Castello, 5801 Calle del Mondo Novo 30122 Venzia Tel & Fax 041-52-27-220 Amazing local Italian food. Book ahead 2)Trattoria San Marco or Osteria San Marco Calle Frezzeria 1610 Modern Italian 3) Ostoria Al Portego 6015

I’ll second Panzano and Rioja; I’d add Osteria Marco and Ships Tavern. All have decent-sized bars for solo diners; the first three have very good food, and while I can’t speak to the food at the fourth,...

tail at Osteria Marco recently (blogpost attached). There’s some good mixing at Panzano. If you’re willing to venture by cab, tails at Steuben’s, Root Down, and Beatrice & Woodsley are all good bets too....

I prefer to live in the SW hills, not only because I think the geography is more interesting than the East flatlands, but because we can be anywhere, from our neighborhood restaurants like Alba Osteria, Seasons and Regions, Marco...

, and for a group dinner, Vesta is great (and fine for kids; the owners have two of their own — and they’re young), as is Rioja, Panzano, Osteria Marco and Tamayo. These are all downtown restaurants, by the way.

I will be staying with my wife and 2 daughters just behind Piazza San Marco. Am interested in 1) restaurant recommendations 2) any special events you may be aware of at that time I checked La Fenice’s website and there is...

Osteria Marco. It’s cheaper than Rioja down the block, which is New Spanish but also very good (which isn’t a wine bar per se, but I personally prefer sitting in the bar area than in the dining room). Actually,...

full reviews of both on my blog. http://www.denveater.com Both are, however, relatively pricey. Rather more affordable yet highly polished experiences are also to be had at Black Pearl, Deluxe, and Osteria Marco (owned by the same...

If you do a board search for downtown Denver, you’ll get a lot of the same recs ad nauseum: Osteria Marco, Rioja, drinks at the Cruise Room or Mario’s Double Daughter’s Salotto (owned by same folks who own...
