If you haven’t looked at our menu lately, look again. 👀

Things are always evolving at RARE. We change dishes with the seasons, source locally whenever possible and make room for a few new favorites along the way. 🍂🍽️

Right now, that means Salsiccia Pizza with house-made mozzarella and sweet drop peppers, Blistered Campari Tomato Burrata with pistachio basil pesto, and Brasato over Cacio e Pepe risotto. 🤌

A few changes. Three very good reasons to come back. 🍷

Fall may be creeping in, but we’re not ready to give up patio season just yet. 🌞🍷Make the most of these last al fresco H...

We’re thrilled to share that RARE Italian was recently ranked among the 10 Best Italian Restaurants in Colorado, coming in at #4! ✨

Published by Ever After in the Woods, the feature highlights the balance at the heart of RARE:
Handmade Italian dishes, thoughtfully prepared dry-aged steaks and an elevated dining experience rooted in Downtown Fort Collins. 🤍

We’re proud to be included alongside other exceptional restaurants from across the state, and grateful for the team and community that continue to make RARE what it is.

Thank you to Ever After in the Woods for the feature.

The result: worth daydreaming about 💭

The process? That’s where the good stuff happens. 👀
The final plate may get the attention, but getting there is half the fun! 🍽️✨

Who says the starter can’t steal the show? 👀🍽️

Carpaccio di Manzo features thinly sliced beef tenderloin and layered with horseradish cream, mustard vinaigrette, Parmigiano-Reggiano, peppery arugula, Maldon salt and extra virgin olive oil, with crostini on the side.

Light, bright and made for sharing… although you may not want to. 😉

Last Friday, we had the pleasure of hosting more than 35 MBA students from CSU’s College of Business for a special private luncheon at RARE. 🎓🍽️

From a custom menu by Chef Nate Boothe to a dining room set just for the occasion, we loved welcoming the group and being part of an afternoon that brought students together. Thank you for choosing RARE to host such a special gathering. 💚
