Boulder's own Frasca Food and Wine has snagged national acclaim, landing at No. 27 on Robb Report's list of the 100 greatest American restaurants of the 21st century.

 

Frasca blends authentic Italian influences from Friuli-Venezia Giulia with Colorado's fresh, local ingredients, creating a standout dining experience.

This honor sparks pride in the foothills community, showcasing how a mountain town can lead in culinary innovation.

 

Adding to the excitement, Frasca recently won the 2025 James Beard Award for Outstanding Restaurant and holds a Michelin star.
