 Frasca Food and Wine Restaurant Review: When Frasca Food and Wine opened its doors in 2004, devout foodies, jet-setting tourists and serious wine aficionados heralded both the Northern Italian fare turned out by chef/co-owner Lachlan Mackinnon-Patterson and master sommelier/co-owner Bobby Stuckey's show-stopping wine list, a 65-page tome that's heavy on Italian varietals. The two dining rooms, adorned with starched white linens, Riedel stemware, vases of fresh flowers and a striking wine wall, are elegantly rustic, but refreshingly absent of snobbery --- and if you want to get up close and personal with the chefs, you can book a table for two in the kitchen. Effortlessly polished and affable servers help guests navigate their way through Mackinnon-Patterson's seasonally changing menu, a tribute to the Friuli region of Italy that also pulls from a bumper crop of foodstuffs from local farmers, ranchers and purveyors. You can bet that the salumi plate --- an artfully arranged smorgasbord of cured Italian meats, sliced in-house --- will be first on their list of must-haves. From there, embark on a gastronomic odyssey of inspired dishes that might include Maine lobster and fines herbes; “fettuccine verde” with yellow foot and king trumpet mushroom; and perhaps Colorado beef rib-eye, artichoke, cardoon, treviso and Cavedoni balsamico. “Torta Di Tartaruga,” chocolate cake, pecan, caramel, milk chocolate buttercream and chocolate gelato, may end the meal. Stuckey, one of the country's most revered wine directors, deftly guides both amateurs and seasoned oenophiles through the grapevine of possibilities. |
