"The winner of multiple James Beard Awards and a Michelin star (among countless other accolades) for its Friuli-centric Northern Italian cuisine, extraordinary wine cellar, and next-level hospitality, Frasca is the premier special-occasion destination in Boulder if not the entire state of Colorado; here, luxury meets intricacy on both the Quattro Piatti and the Friulano tasting menus in the form of dishes like sunchoke dumplings with bone marrow, wild mushrooms, kohlrabi, and spruce or grilled quail with green farro, horseradish, dried fruit, and white asparagus. For a more casual experience at a (much) lower price point, next-door sibling Pizzeria Alberico serves expert Neapolitan-style pizzas." - Ruth Tobias
