Chef Frank Bonanno dug into his Sicilian heritage and east coast roots to create this authentic, rustic Italian eatery. Luca has amazing personal touches from the daily made breads and pastas to the meats and cheeses cured in house, to the charcoal drawing of Bonanno’s son (and the restaurant’s namesake) that hangs in the dining room. Luca is heartwarming and satisfying from the wood-fired pizzas to the hand-rolled pastas to the perfectly seared proteins. It’s not your ordinary pile-of-pasta-and-sauce Italian joint; it’s the real (and tasty) deal.

This journey began in defense of the maker, those that bring to light from darkness, an idea. Our inspiration comes from memory, of travels we’ve taken - it is the thread that helps us bind our creation. Wolf’s is the laboratory where inspiration turns to creation, creation is stitched into a form that when examined takes guests on the creators' journey of exploration. But the quest to create comes not for the supplication of an audience, but for the continual introspective pursuit of pushing the boundaries of what we know as possible.

    Thank our lucky stars we have finally tried Alma fonda fina!!! This place lived up to its expectations and more; The ambiance and decor had substance but weren't to overwhelming or distracting, it's a cozy vibe and everyone seems elated to be there. Now for the food... There were so many times throughout the night that it almost brought me to tears. It was SO good and the dishes were all humble mexican dishes with only slight additions that knocked it out of this world with flavor, there were also some dishes that i would typically not try or ask for certain things removed but that didn't even matter in this case it was all so good.The staff were amazing from the time we stepped in we were taken care of, our cup was never empty they knew when to check in on us or give recommendations. I would 1000% recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting to experience there own Anton ego momemt because that is what I experienced, this place brought me back to childhood; to an amazing nostalgic moment I can't wait to experience again.

    I’ve been dying to bring my family to Odyssey Italian since I moved to Denver! They absolutely loved it. The pasta dishes are so flavorful and we loved all of the recommendations. 10/10 service from Travis and the whole team. We truly enjoyed our pre-Christmas outing at Odyssey. Thank you!

    I am Mexican, from Jalisco and Michoacán. 100% de Agave has a wonderful menu that satisfies both the Tex-Mex, Mexican American fans, alongside those of us who prefer a menu that reminds of us our mama’s home cooking. Top notch happy hour and service, plus an under-rated brunch.
