Ina LiFebruary 26, 2017Very pleasant dining experience. Excellent service and ambiance. The four course menu will get you full and happy. Pairing are very reasonably priced and carefully chosen.Also recommend the meat plate
Joe BennettJuly 7, 2017Excellent 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
C ReyJuly 16, 2018One 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!
MarcJanuary 12, 2021Esquire: Dont let the white truffles and caviar scare you off. It may look exclusive, but inside it’s a house party. Wine guru and manager is a captain of hospitality in the truest, most soulful sense- Denver WestwordAugust 5, 2014Frasca stands in the top tier of restaurants not just locally, but nationally. The service is better, the knowledge deeper, the menu broader and brighter than sometimes seems possible. Read more
TK 🍦🍷July 2, 2013I savored every sip & bite of my meal. I loved the Monday night food & wine pairing (a prix fix meal is designed around a guest winemaker's vintages). The detail & care taken w/ every aspect is tops.- EaterJanuary 28, 2013By many standards, Frasca is Colorado's top restaurants. The food, under the direction of Chef Lachlan Patterson, always impresses. [Eater 38 Member]
The Wall Street JournalJanuary 23, 2015The antipasto course here is a chicken soup garnished with caulflower, saffron and chicken "conserva." It doesn't sound like much but you won't regret it. Read more
Always start with the salumi plate. And don't leave without asking to see the grappa cart.
Men's Health MagSeptember 16, 2014It's well worth the half-hour drive to Boulder for Frasca's elegant pastas and James Beard-winning wine list.

Dina Laul TouchonJuly 28, 2011Your better off ordering a bottle of wine and skipping cocktail service. 25 mins later, no drinks - painful. Bartender is a one drink at a time girl.

"Not sure why this place is not rated higher. Some of the tastiest Italian food that I’ve had in Boulder. Get the pasta dish with clams or the seafood stew 😋"

"Diners are meant to savor the different strains of mozzarella while sipping wine and ordering small plates of salumi or olives. Recommended: burrata mozzarella with green tomato marmalade."
