Pikes Peak Prickly Pear – Rocky Mountain Soda

Rocky Mountain Root Beer was the idea that started Rocky Mountain Soda Company. We wanted to make the best flavored all natural root beer that that would evoke the memories of the true old West.

Desserts and Sweet
Bindi Desserts
Bindi – Our story begins in 1946 when talent, creativity, and a bicycle came together and elevated the meaning of dessert from a mere pastry to also a service. It was in 1946 that Attilio Bindi, a Tuscan restaurateur and founder of the company, came to Milan with his family and sons, Romano and Rino. They opened a small pastry shop on via Larga, one of Milan's historic streets. There, the unique concept of fast and reliable delivery of high quality desserts for the food service trade was born.

Staff is discreet but very on top of things. Descriptions of menu were accurate and recommendations were well founded. The bar did a nice job with drinks and the food was very good. We popped into the sizable bar just to look--lots of room and very interesting. The patio would be lovely in...

Our friends invited us out for dinner here and the second we walked in, we were treated like VIPs—no waiting, no rushing, just genuine hospitality. Even with the place buzzing, we felt like we had the restaurant to ourselves. I don’t normally go for fish, but when I heard about the branzino special, it sounded so tempting, I had to go for it. Best decision ever! Perfectly tender, flaky, and with just a hint of sweet, melt-in-your mouth flavor. I'm sure you've heard...
