Extended hours . new phone . new drink . catering . classes

We are realizing more and more what we are 


Gourmet Take Away ... with some seating 

New hours

We are open the same 4 days ... Wednesday thru Saturday 

And now every evening ... from noon to around 8:00 pm 


New phone number

Our dedicated phone is now operating ... 415.107.9947

This is best used for our free local deliveries within a block or so of the restaurant.  We are currently exploring a pueblo wide delivery service and should offer that soon.  

You might also want to call ahead and see how busy we are if you want to eat in. 

It is pointless to order take away ahead ... as meals are prepared so quickly.


New drink

We have begun our line of designed drinks ... cooling ones for late summer.

The first is sun tea.  You can have it plain and it is quite delicious. 

However, it is at it's best with Spice Cubes. 

This week try honey-ginger-lime ice cubes.  The cube slowly melts, infusing the mild mannered tea with fragrance and flavor.  

We call this combination Medici Tea ... because of the medici-nal qualities of the honey, ginger and lime. 

It can be further sweetened if you like with mascabado sugar, artificial sweetener or stevia. 

A mug of iced tea is 20 pesos 
With Spice Cubes ... 25 pesos 
A jug of iced tea is 30 pesos 
With Spice Cubes ... 40 pesos 


Catering

Someone asked and we were delighted they did.  Our first gig is in a couple of weeks ... for 60 people ... under the big white tent. 


Cooking classes 

This is in the very early planning stages and should be offered later this year. 

It will feature a series of classes, each one focused on a specific area of Italy.   

The foods prepared will be suited to the weather.  So the first ones will be for warmer weather, and the later ones for cooler weather. 

After preparing the meal we will all sit down and enjoy it together. 

The class are intentionally kept small ... 5 or 6 people ... so every one has a chance to learn fully. 

Details will be announced here, but if you want private emails to keep you posted, kindly ask to be put on the list by emailing me here


Thank you

Again, thank you so much for your encouragement.  It is truly heart warming.

We are not hiding

Rather, we are busy complying with various requirements ... and the table cannot be outside until next week. 

We are still open our regular hours. 

We also do not have a dedicated land line phone yet, though it is promised by today.  

In the meantime you can call Denver on his cell phone ... 415.107.9947

Denver Unleashed: Squash Blossom Lasagne


Starting today ... . Squash Blossom Lasagne ... while it lasts ... with more to follow during blossom season. 

We are deeply appreciative of the community support ... and want to return the favor ... both by increasing the menu to include your favorites and requests ... and by enhancing the ambiance. 

MEATBALLS::  So we have added meatballs.  One cool customer said that is all he will ever order (but we don’t believe him).  (80 pesos)

LASAGNE::  regular with red meat sauce and spinach with béchamel (white) sauce.  Another delightful customer, the first to try the spinach, liked it so much she took half of what we made home with her.  (80 pesos per serving)  (P.S.  As much as possible what you enjoy is home made ... meaning we even make the ricotta cheese.)

EGGPLANT PARMESAN::  Served with a small pasta included. 

SALAD SUPREME::   Starting next week we offer a large salad of organic mixed greens, red onions, black olives, croutons, tomatoes, parmesan ... our own home made Italian dressing ... and pepperoncini.   (The big hold up is ... finding the pepperoncini ... so any and all suggestions by email are very welcome.)

DENVER UNLEASHED::   Each week we are fulfilling some foodies dream.  Either Denver remembers something he used to cook ... or we take a customer request.   Whatever, it is off menu land.  (P.S.  Requests can be posted on the refer, posted to our web site ...  and you can add to that or vote for whatever is already there.)

PRIVATE ORDRS::   With two days notice we will fix you anything.  So if you want, say, a squash blossom lasagne for your next party, give us a call. And Denver is a true international chef. meaning, he gets out of the Italian box now and again. 

WHAT WE ARE::  We are take away ... with some seating.   Seriously Italian and  Seriously Fast.  

We don’t pretend to be a full service restaurant.... though we will serve you when we can.   If there is space you are welcome to linger for a while and enjoy the show.  We currently have 12 chairs and later will expand to include an inner courtyard.  We are charting our busy times and will post it on the website so you can come at quiet times if you like. 

SERIOUSLY FAST::   Depending on how busy we are, it can be as fast as 3 minutes.  And, yes, one guy sat there with a timer ... and laughed as he was handed his piping hot order in less than the 3 advertised minutes. 

AMBIENCE::  Each week we do something to make the experience more enjoyable.  We got indoor seating at comfortable tables and chairs.  More plants.  Better lighting.  Different arrangement so the traffic flow is better ... and calmer.  This week we will have a dedicated phone line.  We built an interactive web site.
