“We’ve been to a handful of Michelin star restaurants in the US, and Frasca might be our new favorite! Everything from the ambiance to the service to the intention and thoughtfulness of the food and drinks were amazing! We loved all of the staff who made the experience warm, welcoming, and memorable. I loved that we started the meal with a progression dish that took us from the sea, to the land, to the mountains, and then that we ended the evening with an equally stunning progression. I don’t know that I’ve ever had such a stunning first dish. I was a little nervous to go because of some of the recent reviews about service, but I couldn’t have been more please or surprised with the service and hospitality. We will definitely be back!”
“What an amazing experience! From the moment you walk in you are welcomed with an elite dining experience. Our waitress Sarah was amazing. The whole staff was very attentive to making sure every guest in the restaurant was taken care of. They worked as a well oiled machine. I watched the owner come and say hi to every single table. It is the most expensive meal we’ve ever had but completely worth it.”
“So much fun…so very expensive. It’s not a knock, it’s just an FYI. For two people, the full experience (food and wine pairing) you’re looking at over $1000, all in. Yes, three zeros. (Pics show an empty restaurant. We went on an icy, snowy day. Even schools were closed. Frasca was not.) But what you’re getting is exceptional food, service and ambience. Everyone we came into contact with was highly professional and knowledgeable. And I have never experienced so many courses and wine pairings (free tip: Uber or Lyft). And as a bonus tip, if you’re not going to do the all-course meal, go on a week night and sit at the bar. Often seats are available and you can eat from the single course menu. Bon appetit!”
“We celebrated my husband’s birthday with Frasca, which was also our first visit, and they truly delivered an unforgettable experience. ☺️🫶🏻🇮🇹 What stood out most wasn’t just the extraordinary service, but it was the genuine connection the owner made with my Italian husband. He spoke to him with warmth, familiarity, and real cultural understanding, making him feel seen, welcomed, and completely at home. 🇮🇹❤️ Impressing my husband here in the States is not easy but tonight, Frasca made it look effortless. Frasca earned their first Michelin Star in 2023, which is one of only nine Michelin-starred restaurants in Colorado. It is evident in every thoughtful touch: the pacing, the flavors, the elegance, and the personal touches. A truly magical night for my love, thanks you to you all. 😉✨”
“We had the prix fixe menu and most of the dishes were great, but the palette cleanser was awful! It tasted like frozen vinegar, we were both shocked they would serve that. I could not stomach it so my fiance ate mine. It was horrible. The dessert was also very underwhelming. The other dishes were good but only really 1 or 2 standouts. Mostly a sub par michelin experience, expected way more.”
