Denver, Colorado, is home to a multitude of great people, great atmospheres, and fantastic food for any palate.

Santiago's is a Colorado favorite for food, with glowing reviews in many local publications. Casa Bonita, on the other hand, doesn't have the best food but is an experience you can't miss if you are in Denver. The Mexican restaurant has a waterfall, arcade, cliff divers, and much more.

Panzano has to be the best local Italian restaurant in Denver. It has a mellow, gourmet atmosphere with outstanding food and gluten free options, though they are a bit pricey. Cafe Colore is a bit more affordable, with an Italian Cafe feel that is fantastic and the option of having any of your pastas prepared gluten free.
