We went here last night and while we have been to Frasca many times before, this time was the best. Everything from the service to the wine pairings to the food was fantastic. It was one of the best meals I have ever had. I cannot recommend this place enough.
This was the most extraordinary experience! Sean and Sara greeted us with most inviting welcome, and Zach’s recommendations were absolutely perfect. Every dish of the quattro piatti was innovative and amazing. We were in the middle of enjoying one of the most wonderful dinner when Sean announced that Frasca was awarded the James Beard Outstanding Restaurant in the US just moments before! The staff and the guests celebrated with a complimentary champagne. We were just so happy to be there the night they were awarded as it was well deserved! Sara topped it all with a group photo with the crew right in their kitchen! Over the years, I have visited a few fancy restaurants, but only few are memorable. Thank you all at the Frasca for the excellent culinary experience and your kind hearts, letting us celebrate this night with you! Wishing you even more success and happiness! Thank you for sharing your expertise and a very special night with us.
The most amazing Italian fine dining anywhere in Colorado. A great restaurant in every possible respect, and the staff takes care of you at every possible moment. Congratulations on your recent James Beard award too!
Good atmosphere, Italian wines, Italian food, Italian hospitality in Denver. Foods are delicious. You will love the quality. I started with Canederli and carried with penne al Ragu di antra, Alaskan halibut(ippoglosso) which was extraordinary. Ciliegia for closing. Price performance rate is acceptable. When you are around, must do!
Comfortable setting. The staff were formal, yet engaging. They indulged our questions on this sybaritic dining experience with a smile. When speaking, they made direct eye contact and knew their menu in full detail. The food and wine pairing was symphonic. Compliments to the staff, and a special thank you to Nate.
My son and I had a wonderful dining experience. It was perfect in every way. I'll mention something that I haven't read yet. I'm 74 and my son is 37 and we both enjoyed the background music.
The service was impeccable. The food was also very delicious. The wine recommended by the sommelier was perfect for what we were looking for.

After much anticipation surrounding Michelin’s arrival in Colorado, my husband and I were cautiously optimistic. Many of the restaurants we’ve tried since the awards began here have been underwhelming, but Frasca Food & Wine exceeded every expectation and then some.
We dined last night and chose the Quattro Piatti Menu, which was flawless from start to finish. Every dish was an elegant expression of technique and flavor, with each ingredient perfectly prepared and thoughtfully paired. The Capesante, or Scallops, were a standout, their delicate sweetness and buttery texture elevated by nuanced accompaniments. The Tagliolini di Selvaggina, topped with the optional white truffle, was nothing short of sublime—silky, aromatic, and indulgent. The Quaglia, perfectly cooked quail, showcased impeccable skill and balance, while the dessert, Fichi, with its marriage of huckleberry and fig, was both vibrant, coconutty and comforting. The Mais, with its unexpected matcha and corn combination, came close behind as a creative and delightful surprise.
The atmosphere was equally remarkable, striking the perfect balance between elegance and warmth. Sergei, the general manager, graciously greeted us and set a welcoming tone, while Edison and Jesse, our servers, delivered impeccable service with genuine care and professionalism. Every element of the evening—from the timing of the courses to the thoughtful hospitality—was seamless.
As avid travelers who have visited over 30 Michelin-starred restaurants around the world, we can confidently say that Frasca Food & Wine has earned its place among them. After five years of searching, we’ve finally found our favorite restaurant in Colorado. Frasca is a shining example of culinary excellence and hospitality, and it fully deserves the recognition it has received.

Amazing dinner! Every detail was perfect and the food was incredible. Best mocktails that actually taste like a cocktail and not a juice. Dessert was more interesting than yummy but still a 5/5 will be back! Thanks for a great night!

Outstanding dishes which are truly innovative and authentic. Beautiful atmosphere suitable for special occasions.
Service was good and people are very friendly and attentive, but out of four dishes, two dishes were served to wrong person (it was two of us). Everything was fantastic except for the tea after meal. If you are English tea drinkers, I wouldn’t recommend their Earl Grey. Maybe it’s just me, but it wasn’t a black tea at all.

Wonderful meal and even better than I remembered it to be. Service was finely polished. The dining room was comfortable with perfect lighting. The food was delicious. Wines delicious. Cocktails delicious. More like a Michelin 2 instead of the current 1 star. So good.

There are a select few top tier restaurants in the Denver/Boulder area. Frasca easily earns its place in that exclusive list.
Food: Imaginative and novel, each dish had a story to tell while delighting the taste buds and the eyes to boot. Favorites were the penne with red beet and smoked eel, as well as gnocchi with smoked ricotta and prosciutto.
Service: On point with zero complaints. In fact, they were all authentically happy to have us as guests.
Atmosphere: Classy, chill, and not trying to distract from the food. Love the wallpaper and vintage deli slicer!
Drink: Wine list was extensive with an expansive and impressive nebbiolo selection. The sommelier-paired wines were well matched as one should expect, however the star of the show was the Saturday Night Fever. A cocktail made with authentic '70s vintage liquors, something I sadly will never be able to recreate but will remember forever. (The glass was filled to the top prior to the photo.) On a side note, their side car is a true traditional side car, strongly recommend.
