Frasca Food and Wine

Italian, Regional Cuisine · ★ Michelin

$$$$

This sleek restaurant is set in the heart of downtown Boulder on a charming street lined with shops and restaurants. The refined, thoughtful cooking here is laser-focused on the cuisine of Friuli Venezia Giulia, a region in the northeast of Italy. Prix fixe and tasting menus span the typical gamut of pasta, seafood and meat, but Slavic and Alpine elements add a distinctive touch. The menu might showcase a lesser-known part of Italy, but carefully sourced Coloradan ingredients are also celebrated. The plates are beguiling, with a clean, straightforward approach, as in cjalson, half-moon fresh s

Cozobi Fonda Fina

Mexican, Contemporary · Bib

Named after the Zapotec god of corn, it’s only fitting that Chef Johnny Curiel's second venture should be a celebration of maize in its many guises. Corn is flown in from Mexico and nixtamalized in house before being transformed into a variety of preparations, from tender tortillas to lightly fried quesadillas, matched with the likes with juicy cochinita pibil made from pork collar, or tender oyster mushroom, poblano rajas and queso fresco. A hickory-fired hearth adds another dimension to the cooking, whether in lively salsas or gently warmed scallops. A handsome bar provides an assortment of

Basta

Contemporary · Bib

Concrete floors, cream walls and an open kitchen with a wood-burning oven set an industrial-chic tone at Basta. Snag a spot at the bar and you'll have a front row seat to the culinary action, where family-style, contemporary Italian-American cooking is the name of the game. Start things off right with a shareable starter like burrata or the silky chicken liver mousse with peach mostarda that is sided by crusty bread from next-door sister bakery, Dry Storage. Definitely don't skip the smoked dark green olives—they're an unexpected delight. From there, entrees are satisfying, especially the half

Boulder Dushanbe Tea House

Eastern European

$$$

This hand-built gift from Dushanbe, Boulder's sister city in Tajikistan, offers a respite from quotidian life. Walk through the front garden and you'll be instantly transported to a zen-filled, magical space. If the bucolic setting doesn't lower your blood pressure, the stunning interior that transports you to a faraway culture will. As the name suggests, tea is the raison d'être here, and the selection is comprehensive. From apple strudel and samosas to feijoada and plov (a buttery rice dish studded with chickpeas, dried fruit and grilled beef), the menu reads like a world explorer's diary. N

Oak at Fourteenth

Contemporary

$$$

Smack dab in the heart of charming downtown Boulder, Oak at Fourteenth invites guests to settle in to a space where light wood floors, white walls and a minimalist design aesthetic set a modern tone. The kitchen echoes the contemporary mindset with a hearty menu focused on meat, but with equal care shown to vegetarian dishes. To begin, a vibrant disc of beet tartare is served with mustard ice cream and a beet-colored rice cracker for a dramatic start. Rotisserie chicken with a green apple and celery root slaw is a go-to, but save room for a slice of their peanut butter tart. With its thick coo

Bramble & Hare

American

$$$

It's a farmhouse-meets-lodge vibe at Jill and Chef Eric Skokan's Bramble & Hare, where wood paneled walls and wood floors keep things rustic, and chairs and loveseats are draped with fur throws for an extra dose of charm. The couple's own farm supplies most of the inspiration for the dishes on this American menu—even down to the prosciutto they age in-house from their own pigs. Those impressive ingredients aren't gussied up in this kitchen, where a smart but straightforward cooking style allows them to truly shine. Many items are married in new and creative ways. Case in point? The salted turn

Stella's Cucina

Italian, Contemporary

$$$

The entrance flies a bit under the radar (hint: look for the "S" on the door), but once inside owner Stella Spanu's Italian gem, nothing is held back. The place is utterly stunning with a discernible 1930s sexy speakeasy ambience. The menu impresses with a focused selection of pan-regional Italian dishes. If comfort is what you need, start with ribollita, that traditional, thick Tuscan soup brimming with vegetables, beans and silky bread. Limone e uova di mare offers a dramatic presentation with a nest of spaghettone alla chitarra, while Milanese di vitello, with a properly thick chop of satin

Zoe Ma Ma

Chinese

This humble operation wears its charms on its sleeves: a mother-and-son collaboration between businessman Edwin Zoe and Chef Anna Zoe, who cooks up her take on traditional from-scratch recipes using high quality ingredients, resulting in soul-satisfying, homey dishes—the appeal is not hard to find. The pint-sized space is counter service only—you’ll seat yourself and bus your own table—but the exceedingly reasonable prices make this an easy value proposition. Staples like dan dan noodles and potstickers are top-notch, but look out for rotating daily specials like Sichuan braised beef soup nood
