Frasca Food and Wine

During my recent visit, I had their 8-course meal, which was delicious but a bit underwhelming in other aspects. The presentation of each dish was incredible, they were beautifully crafted and appealing. The generous use of truffle in many dishes added a luxurious touch. The standouts were the buckwheat cake with caviar, the gnocchi di zucca, and the pairing of lobster with wagyu. The drinks, particularly the Old Fashioned, the Luxury Sidecar, and the Penicilin, were very enjoyable. Ending the meal with complimentary chocolates was a nice surprise. The ambiance didn’t quite hit the mark of a high-class establishment, primarily due to the staff’s casual demeanor and lack of attention to detail (re-filling waters, getting new drink orders, etc.). This was further emphasized when I saw someone in the kitchen dressed in a t-shirt, rather than a chef’s uniform. Although there were some memorable dishes, the overall experience was marred by slow service and a price tag that might not reflect the value of the experience.

We attended the guest chef event with Ludo Lefebvre and had the wine accompaniment. Every single component of our meal was absolutely stellar. Each dish was executed as close to perfection as a couple of amateurs were able to judge and some of the bites of food were an event within the larger event. Mr. Stuckey was a gracious host, stopping by our table to check on us. Chef Ludo was also gracious enough to stop by our table and chat with us for a few minutes, as well. All in all, this was one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had. Frasca deserves its reputation and Michelin star. Well done.

Obvious from before we even entered the restaurant why this place earned a Michelin star. Each course was presented in a perfect way and they even managed to accommodate for my vegan mother for Italian food!!! The wagyu was clearly A5, the staff was happy to talk to us (shoutout to Connor) and every dish was simply mastered to the fullest of its potential. Super comforting environment as well. Well done Colorado!
