Denver Restaurant Guide

Home to expensive homes and upscale shopping, Denver’s Cherry Creek neighborhood also houses Denver’s historic Little Italy, a charming hub of Italian restaurants and bakeries just south of downtown Denver. For an authentic Cherry Creek Italian restaurant, Piatti boasts traditional favorites and an extensive wine list all at relatively affordable prices for the Denver neighborhood. On the other end of the spectrum, Denver’s Tuscany restaurant (in the Loews Denver Hotel)is a sophisticated Denver Italian restaurant boasting a selective Italian wine list and nuanced Italian cuisine. Buca di Beppo, a national chain known for kitschy Italian-American paraphernalia and family style plates, also has a Denver outpost. Surrounded by Denver steakhouses and contemporary American cuisine, Denver offers authentic Italian cuisine for diners in all budgets.
