FOOD - DRINKS - FRIENDS....the Milanese Apericena comes to Denver!Voghera prides itself in being the first and only ristorante offering APERICENA in the United States. Apericena is a modern Milanese style of dining and is derived from the words APERITIVO (happy hour) and CENA (dinner): a convivial experience which embraces small plates and wine to encourage sharing and the opportunity to savor different flavors and dishes. An entire meal can be composed of smaller dishes or sample one or two alongside larger, entrée size plates. Our cuisine focuses on Northern Italian and Milanese dishes, such as "Risotto alla Milanese" - Arborio rice simmered with saffron, alongside a vast variety of meat and cheese charcuterie boards, and other Italian staples like Tagliatelle alla Bolognese.

A great restaurant meal can be an act of storytelling and transportation. Sliding onto a stool at a bar, being met with a classy and silky martini punctuated with a briny olive, is there to prepare you for a plate of finely-shucked oysters that were bobbing in the Atlantic 36 hours ago. In this moment the noise and cacophony can melt away, your phone finds its way back into your pocket, and we find communion with those of us on our left and right.We place a premium on doing the work to find producers, growers, and ranchers that have values that align with our own. It’s our desire to bring food to your table that speaks to its sense of place and time, and to be able to bring the connection to those producers to a higher level of consciousness.
