In the Friuli region of northeastern Italy, a frasca is a roadside farm restaurant, serving simple regional food. Frasca Food and Wine captures the spirit of these places while also championing the vast diversity of Colorado’s unique culinary resources. Owners Bobby Stuckey and Lachlan Mackinnon-Patterson have created a warm and inviting space that can accommodate a casual, impromptu dinner or an evening of fine dining, and offer a unique menu that includes salumi and cheeses along with pastas like stuffed casoncelli and entrées like rabbit and veal top round with polenta and romanesco. Whatever you do, don’t miss the frico caldo, a crispy pancake of potatoes, onions, and Piave cheese — a Friulian specialty.

  • One of the most decadent and sophisticated dining experiences you can find in Colorado. Think the finest of Italy with a wine selection arguably better than the food!

  • Excellent restaurant! Service&food was top notch. We sat at the Chef's Table in kitchen, felt awkward at first but the kitchen & wait staff quickly made us feel at home. Order the 6 course Chef's Menu
