Denver, COBest High-End Neighborhood Restaurant
Boulder is blessed with many good restaurants, but the best of all is Frasca. Although it no longer has the three-month backlog of reservations it did in the early years, this deceptively plain-looking spot is still an amazing little Northern Italian restaurant with a strong vein of modernism running through its big heart, staffed by the best crew around and featuring an ever-changing menu offering gorgeous and unpretentious proof that, absent all other modifiers, greatness lives wherever great cooks choose to settle.

Male / Beverly Hills, CAUltimate culinary experience...
While visiting Boulder, I didn't expect to eat at one of the best restaurants I've ever eaten at. I gathered that there is a close connection from the French Laundry to this eatery. The food is a very specific regional style. Be ready for some of the best fish and white wine you will ever have. Great Salumi bar you can sit at. The style of cooking is a very rare technique called a Sous Vide. It's a special oven that super slow cooks the food in steam to ensure it's as delicious on the outside as it is on the inside. I have fortunately eaten at many great restaurants and this one uniquely stands out. Do not miss this restaurant if you're in Boulder.

Female / 35 / Lafayette, COUnforgettable Italian food from Friuli. This place flies their staff to Italy so they know what good is and then they make it better. Amazing!

Male / 41 / Denver, COThe only truly great restaurant in Denver?
It's Boulder, but I will argue that this is the only truly great restaurant in the greater Denver area. Frasca aspires to compete with the French Laundries of the world (the owner trained there) but despite not quite being in that rarified company, it really stands out around these parts. Get a car service and make the trek.

Great selection of wine. We had a very nice meal with close friends here and it made for a memorable night.

Male / 32 / Denver, COAwesome...hands down.
Frasca is by far one of the best restaurants in the Boulder/Denver area. Both owners, Master Sommelier, Bobby Stuckey, and Chef Lachlan Makinnion-Patterson, were nominated for a James Beard Award. The food is outstanding and inspired from the North-Eastern part of Italy. The service is outstanding as well. Not cheap...but you can not pass this place up.

Female / Denver, COLove it here!
When I was going to school in Boulder this was one of my favorite places to go to, with my parents so they could pay :)
The food is exceptional and it would be the best place for a special date or a nice celebration with your friends.

Chef knows his Northern Italian cuisine. Staff takes annual trip to Italy to learn about cuisine and wine, and it shows. Food is simple, delicious, and paired with some of the best service I've had--anywhere.
