After a day of strolling the shops at Cherry Creek North, not-so-desperate housewives and young professionals find this hip and modern dining room and bar the perfect place to stop. Contemporary Italian cuisine and fresh, seasonal ingredients take center stage here; the best way to start the experience is with a glass---or three---of house-made white sangría, filled with infused slices of fresh, tropical fruit and finished with sparkling wine. Next, order a glass of wine from the well-selected and -priced list. Something white and crisp is a fine accompaniment to our favorite lighter lunch, pollo e orzo salad: slices of roasted chicken, crumbly ricotta salata, red onion and orzo resting on a bed of fresh field greens, and topped with a sun-dried tomato vinaigrette. For something more savory, try the wood-fired pizza topped with speck, robiola, mozzarella, peppery arugula, shaved Grana Padano and truffle oil. For dinner, start with the beef carpaccio, but before deciding on an entrée, wait to hear the daily specials. They’re always creative, exciting, and our top pick.
