Fodor's Review:
In the Friuli region of Italy, the frasca (tree branch) is a historic marker for a neighborhood eatery. At this sign of the frasca, you are warmly welcomed into a friendly, low-key restaurant with impeccable service. Start with the salumi, a platter of northern Italian cured meats: prosciutto daniele, speck, and salumeria biellese coppa, all sliced in-house at the salumi bar. Entrées include sliced Quebec veal loin salad, house-made tagliatelle, and butter-roasted Atlantic halibut. The extraordinary wine list focuses on Italian regional wines.

Frasca
Posted by milehigheater from Frederick, CO on 9/9/08
We had dinner at Frasca and as its chef had recently won a James Beard award we had very high expectations and for the most part it met them. The food is incredible and very well cooked and thought out and from the fried stuffed squash blossoms to the Potato Gnocci with fresh sweet corn every course just seemed to burst with flavor. The staff gives you a nice warm welcome when you come in and makes you feel welcome. The only down side of Frasca in my opinion is the closeness of the tables which are packed in very tightly and you really can’t get away from hearing everything your neighbors are talking about be it good bad or ugly. If interested in pictures and a full course by course meal description feel free to visit our blog at www.milehigheater.blogspot.com

This is a wonderful meal, but you'll for sure need a reservation. Some mondays they do a tasting menu which is less expensive and still delivers the quality and experience. Wonderful menu using local produce changing daily.
