FOOD - DRINKS - FRIENDS....the Milanese Apericena comes to Denver!Voghera prides itself in being the first and only restaurant offering APERICENA in the United States. This modern Milanese style of dining is derived from the combination of the words Aperitivo (happy hour) and Cena (dinner). Very similar to the Spanish tapas, Apericena is a convivial experience which embraces small plates and drinks 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 plates, like our signature Cotoletta alla Milanese – breaded bone-in 16oz veal cutlet – the fresh meat and fish of the day, as well as enjoy our Menu Milanese – a 4- course prix-fixe that revolves around Milan’s best known dishes.Our small but seasonal menu is inspired by the culinary tradition of Milan and also represents the Northen Italian cuisine.

Chef-driven, artisan Italian nestled in the heart of iconic Larimer Square. Osteria Marco is fine dining quality in a casual setting. We believe in craftsmanship and artistry—pizzas hand tossed to order, pasta hand rolled daily, cheese (like our famous burrata) and salumi crafted on site. Bartenders muddle and infuse; wines evolve to reflect the variety of the Italian countryside and climate. Descend the grand staircase, hunker down and, really... try the burrata. Don't forget to join us for Drag Bingo Brunch every Sunday alongside bottomless mimosas and a scratch Italian brunch!

    I shared a lovely time with my adult daughters and we were able to enjoy our conversation . The teas and food were great. My only preference would be that we could each get our own tea as I prefer rooibos, I' one daughter orders fruity ones and the other is fine with black teas. I went ahead and shared the black teas and just hope I won't have a migraine tomorrow as I avoid caffeine😜

    What a lovely trattoria. Great service from maitre’ d Seth, my server Alane and her support team. The food was excellent, gnocchi and polenta stole my heart as well as the authentic and mouthwatering puntarelle insalata. Approachable in all areas for the casual diner to the elegant wine savant. 10/10.

    We were a large party of 9. We were welcomed and seated immediately. Drinks and food came out fast. The staff was so patient with us taking our time to decided between multiple amazingly sounding foods. When the food came out, it was off the charts amazing. I frequent the Holly St location of this establishment and have never been disappointed so I had similar expectations here and it was everything I expected. The rest of party had never been before and they were raving about the food and asking to come back. We will definitely be back.
