Frasca

Top choice in Boulder


Deemed Boulder’s finest by many (the wine service earned a James Beard award), Frasca has an impeccable kitchen and only the freshest farm-to-table ingredients. Rotating dishes range from earthy braised pork to housemade gnocchi and grilled quail served with leeks and wilted pea shoots. Reserve days, even weeks, in advance. Mondays offer 'bargain' $65 tasting menus with suggested wine pairings.
