Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in East Colfax

Delicious! We started with burrata, focaccia, carpaccio, and insalata misto. I was surprised to love the salad like I did! Then we split the pasta al forno, radiatore, and tagliatelle. The table was split on which was best! Finally the hazelnut chocolate cake which also surprised me with how much I loved it! Service was great, as always. Love this place!

During our trip to Denver I booked a reservation for afternoon tea in the lobby of the historical Brown Palace. Immediately the staff was welcoming and attentive, even providing warm blankets to use. Hiwat was very informative and friendly with her service and many years of experience. It was a great tasty and relaxing experience to spend our last day.

Benzina is phenomenal. The restaurant is housed in a converted auto-body garage. The windows are still garage doors. The interior is really cool because the style is like a mid-century modern 70’s Italian design. The kitchen is completely open and at the center of the restaurant so you can see the cooks working their magic. I preferred sitting at the counter because you could watch your food being prepared. Lastly, the food was delectable. I honestly think the pizza was the tastiest I’ve ever had. I like this place very much.

The service and food were amazing. The staff at Linger were very kind, helpful, and courteous. The food was all around top quality. It was a specialty 4 course Valentine’s Day menu, by my girlfriend and I were very pleased with the choices and look forward to taking another night out at Linger to try the rest of the menu.

Wonderful neighborhood breakfast/brunch gem! We weren't sure what to expect as it was our 1st visit, but we were very pleased with the food & service. Not a fan of how the waitlist program works, but we were seated quickly.
