Best Casual Restaurants in Downtown / LoDo

Always good food and the staff went above nd beyond for my wife’s birthday.

An amazing experience - the food and service were top notch. Highly recommend.

This is excellent modern Italian food in a casual setting. The menu is fantastic, with season/local offerings all cooked with intention and thought. I like the ingredients used as it gives the dishes big, unique flavor. I had the elk Bolognese with homemade calamarata pasta (so good and chewy), and my wife had wagyu bone marrow, a great wedge-style Ceasar salad, and house-made focaccia with ricotta and honey. The bread was ridiculously tasty...big and fluffy. The cocktails are also very good, and the price point is about what you'd expect in Denver. The noise level can be loud on the weekends, but isn't terrible. Based on our first visit, there aren't any stark negatives to mention. Recommended!

The most delicious Brussels sprouts and pork pot stickers. You could easily make a dinner from the small plates. The Mongolian noodles with pork belly were also excellent as was the whole fish. We went twice in one week while visiting Denver and each time I ordered the margarita (with Mezcal)—creative and delicious! Service is attentive, even on a crowded Saturday night. Would definitely recommend! Noise level a bit much, but it was a Saturday, and it’s obviously a popular place for good reason.

It's a really cool space, designed well. The staff was attentive and very friendly. The food was great! I ordered the ravioli and it was delicious. My husband ordered the waygu steak and it was cooked perfectly. We also ordered a couple sides which were both very tasty. The food is top notch!
