New menu AND new cocktail alert!!

So much more than pictured, but our late summer menu celebrating by far Colorado's best growing season (Heirloom tomatoes! Peaches! Olathe sweet corn!) is here in full swing.

Featured above:

Our always-comforting 1/2 Jidori 'brick chicken', now over sweet corn risotto with roasted cipolinis

Mezzaluna filled with Di Stefano mascarpone and corn, served with house made 'nduja, romesco, and addicting Calabrian chile-almond crunch

Gorgeous Maine diver scallops over a baingan bharta-style roasted eggplant puree, with coconut infused basmati rice and toasted peanuts

PLUS!

Introducing the Sunburnt Flamingo:

Plantation aged rum Thai tea syrup, Amaro Essenziale, pineapple, lime, mint, and your very own flamingo swizzle to take home!

Just a happy little reminder that every Monday night is "Big B" night with us - upgrade your beginning of the week blues to any bottle of Barolo, Barbaresco, or Brunello in house with a 25% discount.

Our list is quite stacked these days and especially full of last bottles of killer wines, so when those are gone, they are GONE gone.

Also the $5 any (well almost) Amaro and industry worker goodies, plus menu starts changing next week, so it's time to revisit any favorites!

PLUS, go in tonight and ask nicely, and you can enjoy the Big B and Amaro discounts a day early!

Book on our website or call ahead for those bar seats!

How doth the little pasta shop
Entice you to their seats
At which drastic ends to stop
In crafting magic eats?

How whimsic'ly they dress their strands
In hopes to see you later
With flavors craved in far-off lands
And heaps of blackened gator!

A Spuntino first! Let's give a little warm weather welcome to the first alligator to grace a plate here. Such a fun and outrageously delicious dish...

Tagliatelle with blackened alligator, toasted pistachios and coconut, all in a coconut-infused étouffée.

See ya later?

Sweetest little pasta stamps
Stuffed with cheese 'n' dates
Cower under heated lamps
Awaiting fretful fates

They cuddle wisps of tender pig
Amidst a dust of cheese
A fearful future looming big
With sense of sharp unease

With tender rounds of slender green
They share a glossy sea
And murmur thoughts of things unseen
And what may come to be

With whispered thoughts of creatures,
They tell tales from past their pond
Of vivid awful features
Peering in from just beyond

The porcelain horizon which
Defined their cozy world
About to be at last unstitched,
Their destinies unfurled

Their boat whisked up, a sloshing sea
A breeze of tense night air
With clunk of warm ceramic
They then uttered their last prayer

Through cacophony of clinking
It all became quite clear
Last hopes were sharply sinking
All was worse than their worst fear

Great giants looming, gazing down
While grunting "oohs" and "ahs"
With gaping grins of ghastly clowns
And outstretched metal claws

"This smells delicious", a deep voice boomed
"Let's eat" another croaked
Then clanging claws came crashing down
Their hunger's fire was stoked

With swoop of glistened silver
With a stab of shining tines
Those little stamps all quivered
And began to lose their minds

The mashing sharp incisors
Marked those monsters' cheerful sin
While desperate pasta cries were
Lost among the dining din

I won't regale you full detail
It was a horrid scene
Where scattered cheese 'n' date entrails
Gave smacking lips a sheen

As Charon tallied final sums
For fallen pasta friends
They passed beyond with echoed, "Yum,
Let's order those again!"

A little refresh on one of my more unhinged old to celebrate this fantastically delicious revisit to one of our favorite pastas for our NEW SPRING MENU!

Adorable little raviolini filled with triple cream Robiola cheese and dates, with aged Prosciutto di Parma and CO asparagus, all in a lovely little butter pan sauce.

See you soon ya pasta monsters!

Tonight's pasta special: Pappardelle Ripiene!

Spirals of fresh pasta layered with roasted local mushrooms, our own ricotta, and aged Parm, decadent b***o bianco (butter, sherry, Parm, etc), and dollops of one of our favorite cows milk triple creams from Burgundy. Killer.

Sold like nuts last night to total raves, Monday team has been crushing it recently. How about discount Barolo to go with it??

See ya in a bit!

NEW LAMB ALERT!

Plus all sorts of other new Spring Menu goodies!

Such a killer dish and the sort of thing you'd never find in another restaurant...

CO lamb chop and sirloin crusted with chaat masala, served with artichokes confit with the addicting Andhra tomato (now finally available to order/take home!!), caramelized cipollini onions, beluga lentils, and agrodolce.

Plus new desserts with the return of our amaro-choxilate cheesecake! Also you'll probably need to get the new ricotta-bombolini donuts filled with lemon curd, with rhubarb compote and fresh vanilla gelato melting over??

We have a few killer new candidates for our every-Monday Big-B Bottle discount, with 25% off any bottle of Barolo, Barbaresco, or Brunello. Plus $5 amaros!

See ya in a bit!
