FiNO
Day 1: 5-Course Coastal Middle Sea Creations Tasting Series
Opened just this past March, this delightful eatery that celebrates Mediterranean food is the newest creation from the team that gave the Mile High City its popular Run for the Roses, the downtown cocktail bar. FINO, which opened inside the stylish mid-century All Inn Hotel in the East Colfax neighborhood, was named to Denver Post’s List of “Most Anticipated Restaurant Openings.” Here, diners find intriguing small plates and tapas, such as polenta and wild mushrooms, eggplant rollantine, fried zucchini, and the charred cabbage with capers that Westword included in its “Six Best Bites We Had in March” List. Gorgeous pastas too and many classic chicken dishes, like chicken masala, chicken picante, and chicken saltimbocca, plus fish dishes like seared sea bass. “Fun and delicious,” says Dining Out. Otherwise put, two of our favorite words, so we are excited to visit here. We hope you’ll be able to join us!
