Our experience at Basta this summer was excellent. Note that it is a bit on the pricey side, but we truly enjoyed our meal. The service we received was top notch and friendly. They handled our group of six without a hitch. We look forward to our next visit when in Boulder. read more

WOW, What an incredible experience!! We came for Christmas Eve in a private yurt. Not only was it beautifully appointed, temperature controlled (dyson space heaters and blankets) and comfortable for a 3hr dining experience. The service was exceptional and food deliciously memorable. You can see Brian Lockwoods Eleven-Madison Park prestigious culinary training & experience through out the meal. Each course was innovative & delicious We will absolutely return to enjoy all the wonderful that was our Christmas Eve at basta! read more

Wow! We were blown away by Basta after settling on going here for a dinner date night. The burrata and piada is just as good as every other comment says and the pizza crust is so tender and flavorful. The featured local veggies on the menu were excellent. Our waitress was friendly and helpful and the ambiance was cozy. It is definitely a small place, so make a reservation (a week or so in advance. They fill up!). We saw people getting picking up pizza to go and we decided we'd be doing that ourselves soon as well. read more

Basta - Summer Ham and Daisy Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

While our food has always been good, the 22% "service fee" for below average service is disappointing. We come very infrequently due to this service fee and everytime we come, we're yet again disappointed with the service and the very high auto-grat. read more

Food was fresh and inventive. Best Cesar salad that I've every had (and that includes the fantastic restaurants in my home town, Philadelphia). The half chicken was solid entree. Carrot and fennel a nice side. Really liked our server Leah who was helpful without being pushy. Will be back for pizza. read more

Best chef in town! It's a bit off the beating path but so so so worth your time to adventure to. So creative, so delicious and great owners!

Great service and good food. We ate family style so we could taste a broad selection. Temperature of wood stove needs a bit of tweaking- hard to do but possible. Crust was a bit too black but the quality of dough still pulled through. The recommended wine described as medium in tannins etc was mid. I'm read more

Servers were all friendly and thoughtful. We loved every dish and the craft drinks were delicious! The pizza crust is the best in town.

Delicious! It reminds me of a more interesting version of Flour + Water in SF. We ordered the burrata, uni pasta, mushroom farro risotto, and clam pizza. All delicious, esp the clam pizza. I loved that they handmade their pasta; perfectly al dente. I wish the burrata was a little creamier but it was still tasty, esp with the leeks and pancetta; the bread accompanying the burrata was light, fluffy, and warm. The little yurts were adorable and made for a particularly special dining experience. Highly recommend! We'll definitely be back. read more

honestly...meh...c'mon. open table gives it some "icon" awards. wonder what the price to pay or "standards" are for those awards. food was very ho-hum...if in Boulder seek out finer dining. read more

Highly recommend this place hidden gem. Gnocco pasta is really good, definitely coming back here with the family. read more

In town for business and my son picked this restaurant and I let him order for us. We started with the mussels. They were good but nothing different than the norm. I wanted to try the house made burrata. Next up was the clam pizza with pancetta, panna, garlic confit and tarragon. AMAZING! The best pizza dough I have ever had. I finished the meal with a glass of house made limoncello. So good. This place is a must when in Boulder. Get a reservation read more

Basta - Clam pizza - Pizza Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Great food! Really excellent wood fired pizza. Fun and extensive wine list for a pizza joint, and the homemade pesto was excellent on an appetizer. Service was good-not necessarily over the top nor notable. Ambiance was just ok...thought it would be more vibey in there but it was definitely busy and the visible wood fire oven was fun to watch. read more

Food is excellent in particular the Summer pizza and the half chicken . The Caesar and the bread were amazing. Unfortunately the service didn't match. Our server was lacking social skills . She answered a request with a yeah or a yep. Drink service was extremely slow . She didn't remove one of the reservation charges and told us that she did. After charging a 22% service charge she hovered over us during payment and asked if we wanted to add additional tip. I understand that service charges are a norm now but I'm not tipping additional on bad service. It's a shame because the food is excellent. Supporting staff were great as well. read more

All I can say is WOW. Just WOW. From start to finish, the meal was exceptional. That bread. I have never tasted bread that was THAT good. And the burrata was better than what I have had in Italy. The Caesar salad was lovely, but not as exceptional as EVERYTHING else. The roasted chicken was so delicious and moist. The mocktail, just right. Service so friendly and attentive. It was the best meal I have had from start to finish, maybe ever. I've had very memorable dishes from all over the word, but never an entire meal starting with the bread, that was so cohesively delicious. Atmosphere is cozy and comfortable. I am a Superfan. read more

Great hidden restaurant. We were seated right away. They offered indoor and outdoor seating which was nice and spaced out. Due to covid, their menus were only one time use which is nice. I would be ok if they went digital like everyone else. The dishes were tasty and unique. The whole fish they prepared was devoured. Would come back again at our next visit. read more

Food is amazing, the bread is possibly the best part. Great cocktails, and a good wine list. The bartender, Robert, was super knowledgeable, and helpful when picking wine and food. read more

Been coming here for close to 14 years . Used to be a regular stop but the food has not been as good a value and quality has waned. Service has remained a very positive element of a Basta dinner. read more

Happy to pay a premium for a premium experience. This is not that. It's simply good food, good service, WAY overpriced. Don't believe the hype. That is all. read more

Whoo Hoo! I haven't given a 5 star review in years! I was beginning to think they went the way of the dodo bird :) Simply one of the best pies I have had ever and I have lived in NYC and have tried the very best pies across the US in my food adventures. We started with the Burrata which was a luscious combination of caramelized onions, panceta and melted cheese. It was the perfect app and I thought the highlight of the night. Boy was I wrong! We followed with a pepperoni pie with oyster mushrooms on red sauce which was fantastic and I had the white pizza with topped with loads of garlic and fresh mozzarella. It was so great. The flavors were balanced and finely done. So what stood out about the pie that pushed me to 5 stars? good question. I have only given 5 stars to less than a handful of restaurants and I eat out for fun!! 1) the service was on point... charming and always present when needed. 2) The entree was brought to our table at exactly the right time 3) The app was fantastic and the entree actually was even better. 4) The crust was simply the best crust I remember ever!! great bite, beautiful burn from the white oak oven, and I could have eaten a whole crust even without the toppings! Just give me some evo and some fresh parmesn and and I would've been happy eating that crispy, wood touched, hot from the oven crust! 5) Toppings were high quality 6) I left with leftover for breakfast and yes I was so yummy x 2.. :) 7) Ambiance was great.. energy from staff and customers was very positive... smiles all around make a happy place :) Only con is the noise level was fairly high. They could definitely use some sonic reducing cover on that very cement roof.. It was loud.. And frankly we didn't care cause the food was just so delicious!

Truly the best experience with the best people. Just had the bread and it was honestly the best bread I had ever had. I've never had as good of service as at basta. Such a chillaxed restaurant and staff read more

This place is pretty stellar. I actually had a hard time finding it as its blended in with condos etc.. Got a seat right at the bar looking at the wood oven, these chefs are very talented. The food which I had plenty of and couldn't decide what I wanted as I actually wanted to try it all!! Baratta- absolutely amazing Chicken liver- well one can never go wrong with that, I ended up polluting some with the Baratta which definitely did not suck!! Lamb meatballs, cooked perfectly and seasoned just right Finished off with a pizza- I actually don't remember what kind we ordered because we were going back and forth on the kind but it was perfect. The shell was cooked perfect and left me wanting to go back very soon. read more

Basta - Pizza Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Visited this place on a Saturday around 8pm. We had reservations but the restaurant was not full as there was couple of empty tables throughout our dining there. Basta is hidden inside one of apartment complexes which I thought was a bit unique and made this place isolated from all the fuss in downtown. We stared out with the Clam pizza, the portion was good size and overall it was good. We kept thinking that it lack something but couldn't figure out what. It might be that it needed a bit of spiciness. Ned we ordered the whole fish which by far was our favorite dish of the evening. The fish was a Colorado Strip Bass. It was big so good for two people sharing. The crunchiness of the fish skin was a bonus and the potatoes went well with the dish. Finally we concluded with budino which I would avoid next time, mainly because it didn't deliver the sugar rush I needed. I think the fermantation ruined the taste. The vanilla ice cream was standard. Overall a nice place to dine in if visiting boulder specially if you want an isolated place. Here are my ratings: Whole fish 8.5 Clam Pizza 7.5 Vanilla ice cream 7 Budino 6.5 read more

Exceptional. Every dish we had was delightful, staff were very helpful and kind, space was nice with good ambiance. It is in a strange location, courtyard of a new housing complex. The price point is quite high so prepare yourself for $$$ read more

Overall extremely happy with the restaurant and the service as we have been several times and was my wife's choice for Bday dinner. Our server was Patrick T and he was very accommodating and easy to chat with. The check arrived and there was one small issue and, in my opinion, one very large issue. Small issue we'd asked for one of the ice creams and were brought two and charged for two. Brought to Patrick's attention and he had misunderstood our order(easily fixed). Large issue - Breadcrumb Service Fee!! Basta is adding an automatic 20% gratuity and sneakily calling it Breadcrumb Service Fee, which I didn't initially notice on bill but my wife did. I don't mind an auto gratuity but let people know about it when server drops off the check. Patrick T would have made out much better if he'd have let us know about BSF. read more

We came here for a double date night with some friends. I've been wanting to try this place for quite some time, and I was not diasppointed! This place is the epitome of style and flavor you hope your Italian food will have. Basta has a trendy, yet cozy atmosphere that puts you at ease right as you walk in the door. And the food is comfort food with a twist - pull-apart bread with burrata mixed in (to DIE for). Plates are meant to share, so we split the duck confit, half chicken, and mushroom pizza. Everything was delectable. Not too greasy, just enough flavor, and perfectly cooked. We also sampled some of their signature cocktails. My personal favorite was Brooklyn, but I always love myself a good whiskey drink ;) Stop in next time you're in boulder to have some Italian libations in style! read more

Cozy, charming inside. Great pizza! Which is somewhat hard to find in Boulder. Great music, great service. Will come back!

We tried this place after a few recommendations from friends that had nothing but great things to say. All in all, it was a little overpriced for what we thought would be amazing. To kick us off we started with a couple of overpriced craft beers. We had no idea what we were getting ourselves into so hey, why not. On to the food...The lasagna left much to be desired. As other have described it is only offered on Sundays and is wildly popular. The burrata was this place's saving grace- creamy, delicious and oh so flavorful. I'd be back if only for that. read more

The pizza here was the Lance Armstrong of Neapolitan pizza. Not European. Not as good as advertised. And you have to cut parts off before they give you cancer. Basta is Italian for "enough" and is meant colloquially as "I'm stuffed." Sadly, in the case of this overrated Boulder establishment, I left without enough food in my stomach, or enough money in my wallet, and certainly without enough of the esteem other yelpers have found here. I've dined at the French Laundry. I've sampled the best pizzas to be had in New York and Chicago. I've eaten pizza in Trattorias up and down the Italian coast. And I've had Neapolitan style pizza in Naples. When the day comes that my arteries finally clog and I exit the mortal coil, pizza will have played a large part in that. And I can say without hesitation that this was one of the most disappointing pies I've ever had. Who knew it was possible for pizza crust to be both over and under cooked? They managed it here. Parts of the crust were horrifically burned, spreading a noxious bitter flavor in to the surrounding crust like gangrene consuming a limb. Better to avoid it all together but if you're going to salvage the slice leave a large margin. This isn't a healthy char giving a smoky and complex flavor, no. It's acrid abomination, and a clear sign that the chef has little mastery over the complex task of operating a wood-fired oven and still producing an acceptable, let alone superlative, product. This isn't a rare problem in the Neapolitan pizza world. It seems fashionable to fake authenticity and aspire for elevated pizza by installing a wood fired oven and thinking this alone justifies charging a fortune for superior pizza. Yet few cooks seem to have actually mastered the use of these ovens and the crappy results are so common people who have more snobbery about food than good sense have even convinced themselves that the failures from these ovens are features and even desirable. Turning your crust to charcoal isn't authentic, it's not flavorful, it's not healthy, and it's not elevated. It's incompetence masquerading as tradition. Sure, sometimes you have to sacrifice a crust bubble to the char gods, but permeating the entire pie with gag inducing bile is not fine dining. Other parts of the crust were moist, and not in a pleasant manner like the airy center of a crusty baguette. No, moist in the manner of a diaper rash on a drowned toddler with eczema and edema. And no, I'm not referring to the sometimes weak crusts endemic of this style of pizza, especially when a more liquid red sauce makes for a soupy quality in the middle. We had the white sauce. Rather, parts of the end crust were doughy and undercooked. Could be result of the poor oven technique or a dough that started too wet. Either way, there's no excuse for under cooked crust, especially when other parts were Hiroshima levels of charred. I'd comment more on the white sauce, the sausage, the mozzarella and ricotta and smattering of greens, but they were so overpowered by the funk of mattress fire, little of their flavor came through. There seem to be two Boulders, one for students who no matter their trust fund status are more likely to frequent a late night pizza joint the likes of Cosmos who offer more pizza in a single $4 slice than the entire pie served up at Basta at many times the price. And then there's the rich Yuppie/aged-Hippie/Nouveau-riche-techie Boulder who are desirous to make Boulder the next Palo Alto where great pretenders with too much money to throw around eschew the unwashed college kids and are just dying to be seen spending that money. Basta seems to be the place for these folks. They don't really know what's good or bad and they don't trust their own taste buds to guide them, but they can see the prices on the menu and know their dates can too. It's entirely fitting that this place is surrounded by an over priced condo complex called Peloton. It brings to mind doped up Americans faking and cheating their way through a sport that's typically dominated by old Europe. The pizza here was the Lance Armstrong of Neapolitan pizza. Not European. Not as good as advertised. And you have to cut parts off before they give you cancer. Plenty of Boulderites are willing to drop a fortune on bikes they have no business riding and clothing themselves in spandex race wear that makes it look like they're serious and able. And yet the proof is in the riding. The proof of any food is in the eating and I'll take a $4 slice from Cosmos any day of the week over a $19 pie from Basta, even if they both were free. read more

The epitome of "over priced just because it can be." Whoever marked this place as two "$$" expensive is delusional. I initially was extremely excited to check out this place. Yelp patrons raved about the oven baked lasagna yet forgot to mention that it is not readily available on the menu. Their "home made" lasagna must be ordered two days in advanced for pick up for 80-100$... insane pricing. This is just the beginning of the outrageous pricing. Beers range from 9-20$ Cocktails from 12-35$ Neapolitan Pizzas from 18-28$ Now, thankfully they had a few slices of their " North" lasagna readily available to sell to us. But at 25$ for a 4 inch by 4 inch slice you would wiser to set your money on fire at the table. We ordered the Neapolitan sausage pizza and one slice of the "north" lasagna. The lasagna came out first. For 25$, I expected something along the lines of a 8 inch by 8 inch slice... was far from that. I do have to say that the lasagna saved this place from a 1 star rating. It was utterly fantastic. Great flavor, just enough crisp. The pizza came out next. Again when paying around 20$ for a pizza, I expected at the least a large pizza. This one would barely scrape by as a medium at most places. Meat toppings were sparse yet veggie toppings were plentiful. The slices drooped and hardly clinged to the toppings. The crust, like many Neapolitan pizzas I've had was scaleded black in many spots. If you want to take out a second mortgage on your home, swing by this spot and have at it with the menu. If not, literally go to any other pizza joint to get better Italian. read more

Basta - North Lasagna - Pizza Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

I was introduced to this restaurant with a BOGO drink special. We were planning to just get drinks, but the ambiance pulled us in to stay for dinner as well. We sat at the bar, which I think is one of the best places in the house; it is right next to the stone fire pizza oven which kept us nice and toasty on a cold winter day. I also liked the design of Basta. They use chopped wood for the fire as table divides and seem to comfortable fit a lot of tables in a small space. To start the night off, we got the "bitter bubbly" drink special. The drinks were was okay, I was excepting a little more flavor. Next we ordered a ricotta bread appetizer which was absolutely splendid! Definitely my favorite item the entire night. And lastly, I got the daisy pizza which is a classic margarita pizza. The pizza overall was good. There were some crispy/black edges on the crust and some parts of the cheese. My overall experience was pleasant and would return sometime in the future to explore there wine selection and other appetizers on the menu. read more

I disagree with the customer that was turned off by the service charge. We did not feel it necessary to add another tip though we did add a little because the service was extra special. We might not add more next time because we will probably spend more. We shared a burrata & a pizza & only one glass of wine. The bread & pizza crust are excellent. read more

Relaxed, cozy atmosphere with amazing food and great wine. It's hard to find authentic, Italian pizza, but they nailed it! Wood fired, chewy crust with the perfect burnt taste. Ask to try their chile olive oil to dip your crust in. I started with the Kampachi Crudo and it was the best raw dishes I've ever had. Next was the Daisy pizza, which the owner informed me was the English meaning of Margherita and then the Budino for dessert. Budino is a must try! They add fernet to the marshmallow and really gives extraordinary flavor. Caroline gave me great recommendations on wine and made awesome cocktails. Great place to grab dinner/drinks at the bar or try their tasting menu with a group! read more

Yes, the food is pretty good. However, we ordered a $30 pasta that might feed a small bird and most of the beer is $12-$14 a glass. At the end of the meal, our bill included an automatic 22% gratuity. Beware, this place is overpriced. read more

Absolutely delicious and cannot wait to go back. I honestly can't think of a better meal in Boulder (including Frasca and the like). Such a genuinely kind and friendly staff too - it feels like you're dining with friends. Thanks guys for a truly inspired meal. read more

This was my first time at Basta - I had returned home after a business to and was exhausted. So, decided to try the closest place and since I live in the complex, this was it. Besides, everyone I had spoken to raved about it. I chose to sit as close to the chefs and the pizza oven as I could do I could see how the kitchen operated. And was very happy to note that both chefs and the staff worked in a well orchestrated cadence. After some mulling over the menu and several questions which were answered well (I mostly asked the chef directly subs he was right there), I ordered the crudo and the arancini. I know a fair bit about Japanese cuisine, have been to Japan and have Japanese friends etc. , so I was curious to see if the Boulder hype lived up to actual standards (I lived in the bay area for 20 years which alters one's standards for Asian food). The crudo arrived and was fresh and nicely balanced. I asked about the light dressing on the fish and learned that it was a Yuzu sauce. Very nice touch. My only critique was that the fish might not have been cut along the right 'grain' ( for lack of a better word) which might have been why was slightly chewier than what I was expecting. I love sashimi. Next was the arancini. The onigiri on it's own was very good - lovely crispy exterior, the rice had the right amount of teeth to it, the smoked trout filing was a nice amount without being overwhelming. Just great. The dashi (soup) was not quite what I thought it would be. It smelled and tasted like chicken stock and did not blend will with the onigiri at all. Not sure what happened there. If it had been a good dashi, the dish would have been very good indeed. I'm the meantime, because of my unrestricted view of the kitchen and everything going on, I noticed the piada's being baked and asked for a 'naked ' one. Piping hot, fresh from the oven, this alone is worth coming to this restaurant. Absolutely amazing bread - I ate it with some olive oil and salt. The pizza and chicken looked amazing as well - on my list for next time. I then ordered the donuts per the chef's recommendation. Huge disappointment since the first plate had 5 donuts that were not fully cooked. They took it back and brought out another batch. This one had 1.5 donuts that were cooked and the rest were still doughy inside. I was trying to figure out what went wrong since it did not seem like a restaurant that would serve a dish that would fail at that level. Hmmm. I asked them to look at the recipe and, maybe, cooking process. Not sure. The exterior of the donuts were perfect. The server got a bit defensive even though I tried very hard to be as gentle as possible. All in all, definitely will go back to try other dishes and see if they fixed the donut problem. read more

Came to dinner with friends at Basta before seeing a show in Boulder. First off, the ambiance took me by surprise, as its basically in an apartment/condo complex. Its gorgeous inside! Everyone, from the greeting staff, to the servers, to the bartenders were so nice and pleasant. The pizza. OH MAN the pizza! It was one of the best pizzas ive had in Colorado. So many toppings and so much flavor! They also have a great wine list, with generous pours! Basta was delicious and I cannot wait to go back! read more

I'm from New York, and have enjoyed many, many delicious pizzas...in fact, pizza is one of my favorite foods. This pizza was, at best, mediocre. The pizza was cold when we got home, after a 6 minute drive. So disappointing to have a bad pizza, when so Mandy reviews were good. Seriously, try Audrey Janes Pizza Garage in North Boulder instead. It's way better. read more

Very good! I attended a wedding rehearsal dinner at Basta this past weekend and it was the PERFECT space for our group. We did our quick rehearsal practice outside on the sidewalk, which was private enough not to get gawked at by passersby. After our rehearsal, we enjoyed some delicious charchuterie. The Capicola was delicious - salty tasting and a slightly crispy in texture. They also had these amazing smoked green olives. The bride has always said how much she hates olives, but she LOVES these! The smokey taste was super interesting. I particularly liked the spicy pickled yellow tomatoes - it added a lot to the flavors of the meats, cheeses, olives, and pickles. VERY well done charcuterie. We did a family style dinner and the highlights were the lasagna (very cheese and just enough sauce) and the steak (I believe it was rib eye). The steak was so delicious - it almost had a bacon flavor to it. That works for me! It was tender and easy to cut. Very good! The dark chocolate truffles were AWESOME! I'm a fan of dark chocolate after my meal and these really hit the spot. To top it off, the cocktails and wines that were chosen were super delicious using mezcal and gin for very tasty drinks! read more

Items Tasted: Apple Shrub Sea Scallop, Avocado, Blood Orange, Charcoal Mascarpone, Miner's Lettuce Flowers Farrotto Piccolo, Hen of the Woods Mushroom, Ricotta Salata, Chive, Tender Leeks Wood Fired Scratch Lasagna, Domestic Organic Tomato, Stracciatella, Natural Salts, Bechamel, Basta Basil Duck Confit, Sweet Potato Gnudi, Miner's Lettuce Daisy Pizza, Tomato Sauce, Mozzarella, Basil, Olive Oil Doughnuts, Potato, Goat Cheese, Chantilly, Campfire Vanilla Ice Cream Owned and Operated by Chef Kelly Whitaker with beverage input by longtime Frasca Food and Wine associate Alan Henkin, Basta was booked largely on the recommendation of a friend who claimed the pizza to be some of the best he had ever tasted and noticing via Social Media that the team had recently visited some of my own personal favorites in Los Angeles an e-mail was sent to discuss the possibility of a tasting menu, a slow Monday night with snow flurries showing the chefs to be more than willing with results that impressed from beginning to end. Opened in early 2010, the location in the middle of a residential complex making the unobtrusive storefront a bit tricky to locate for those unfamiliar with the area, it was with winds already gusting and small flakes falling that diners were greeted to doors held open by a staff that proved as educated as they were inviting and offered a choice of tables a two-top near the front was selected, the menu discussed as a beverage was prepared. Undoubtedly best known for the pizzas, several offered at Denver's Cart Driver but here offering a full dining experience including small-plates and an $80 pre-order Lasagna designed to feed large groups, the space housing Basta stretches long and angular with moody lighting that draws attention to the kitchen and deferring largely to the Chefs save for a few small requests it was with a refreshing shrub in hand that the meal got started, the opening volley of perfectly seared scallops a testament to quality sourcing as well as creativity with avocado offsetting citrus while each bite gained intrigue through the addition of smoked cheese. Described as an improvised dish that Whitaker "fell in love with" when riffing on Risotto at a past food event course two featured ancient grains in the form of a 'Farrotto Piccolo' cylinder with a toothsome base richly imbued with herbs through slow simmering while a melange of Hen of the Woods Mushrooms joined tender leeks to replicate textures of the famous rice dish, each bite given an added layer of creaminess from Ricotta Salata and a light hint of Chives. Having mentioned the famous lasagna, it was again through Facebook that I noticed Basta occasionally offered the dish as a daily special offered in smaller parts and inquiring about availability weeks in advance it was with great fortune that the request was not only considered but acted upon, a steamy slice with oozing Bechamel on a serving board offered with stretchy Stracciatella overlying hand crushed Tomatoes and Basil grown in their own garden, the minimalist composition leaving no room for error as the wood oven toasted the top to crisp perfection, each forkful compelling another until not one drop remained. Feeling the effects of a long day of dining, but at the same time greatly anticipating courses to come, round four delivered crisp duck meat amidst Sweet Potato Gnudi with the leaves of Miner's Lettuce whose flowers were seen earlier, the follow-up "Daisy" at this point an embarrassment of riches from which only half was eaten, the Margherita toppings absolutely flawless as the charred crust offered a robust crunch before giving way to the pliable, pocketed and yeasty interior. Deferring dessert to the kitchen, not brave enough to tackle both bread pudding and donuts before a drive back to Denver in a rental amidst rapidly falling snowflakes, two fried dumplings softened by Potato and Goat Cheese were last delivered with a sidecar of Chantilly, each bite walking a fine line between sweet and savory with an added bonus offered by a scoop of smoky Campfire Vanilla Ice Cream. read more
