. It draws inspiration from Italy’s neighborhood osterias and will have an affordable, approachable menu, according to Frasca Hospitality founding partner Peter Hoglund. That includes Neapolitan-style pizzas, handmade pasta and other dishes seen on Tavernetta and Frasca’s menus. The beverage program will offer wines from across Italy, plus a full cocktail bar with Italian spirits and amaro.
“This restaurant is really designed for anyone in the neighborhood, whether that’s a mom with a full minivan in tow after soccer practice looking for some great pizzas and salads or a couple enjoying date night with some pasta and branzino,” Hoglund said. “A lot of our guests already drive up from south Denver to see us at Union Station, so if that’s where our guests are, then I think it’s wonderful to be able to deliver higher quality food and experiences not just to specific downtown areas,” he continued.
