 Authentic Italian delicacies |
1308 Pearl Street Boulder, CO 80302 United States +1 303 442 0378 |
This casual restaurant on the Pearl Street Mall treats patrons to the authentic sites, sounds and foods of Italy. The menu is even in Italian. The exposed brick and fading fresco mirrors that of an Italian piazza. A working fountain adorns the center of the dining room, and flowers and lush foliage hang from the overhead balcony. The menu offers a wealth of seafood options including the Frutti Di Mare, which is linguine topped with shrimp and bay scallops. Steaks and vegetarian dishes are also offered.

Excellent Patios |
921 Pearl Street Boulder, CO 80302 United States +1 303 444 4888 http://www.bacaro.com |
This restaurant offers an authentic Italian dining experience (complete with the traditionally unhurried service). The low-lit dining room exudes luxury, with designer chairs and antiques. But during the warm months, you will find most people outside. The menu offers a wealth of inventive Mediterranean dishes, along with other Northern Italian creations. The mussels with clams and shrimp are a popular starter. The grilled salmon, served atop a bed of saffron potatoes, highlights the menu. You can also choose from veal, chicken and beef selections.

Regional Mexican food |
3161 Walnut Street Boulder, CO 80301 United States +1 303 546 0630 |
Put on the sombrero and head into Casa Alvarez for a taste of Old World Mexico. Owners Ernesto Alverez and Betty Cormane create traditional favorites in an upscale (but bona fide) south-of-the-border atmosphere. If you feel like a change from the usual Mexican fare, order the house specialty, Mojara Frita ($8.99). The dish is a whole fried freshwater tilapia with a side of beans. Numerous shrimp selections, vegetarian dishes and old spins on standard Mexican items complete the menu. The bar offers over 30 different types of tequila. Review © 2007, Wcities |

If romance is on the agenda, head up into the hills to the Flagstaff House for a dining experience like no other.

 Asian and American mix |
1117 Pearl Street Boulder, CO 80302 United States +1 303 473 4730 |
"Hapa," Hawaiian slang for the blending of Asian and American, is also the name of Boulder's trendy spot for sushi.The eclectic dining room has a sparseness that is distinctly urban. The bar brings in a DJ on the weekend and things get funky with jazz. Sushi is what the crowds come for, but you can also order a number of meat and seafood items, including a sweet Honey-Miso Salmon ($14) and the popular Hawaii Five-O ($19), French pork chops in a char-siu demi glaze.

Designer sushi |
1136 Pearl Street Basement Boulder, CO 80302 United States +1 303 938 0330 |
An open dining room provides quiet spaces for romance in this happening restaurant, but most of the action is at the sushi bar. This is definitely one of Boulder's places to be seen. Choose from over 100 sushi and sashimi selections, each one prepared right in front of you. Entrees feature a number of Pacific Rim seafood offerings. Enjoy items like Spicy Seafood Udon or Salmon Teriyaki. Most entrees come with Tamanishiki short grain rice, which rates as the highest quality rice in the world. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Colorful, upscale dining |
1002 Walnut Street, Suite 101B Boulder, CO 80302 United States +1 303 444 5335 |
This lively restaurant has all of the charm of a tiny European coastal café. Sunny paintings and brilliant colors bedeck the walls. Lush foliage grows everywhere, and an imported Italian wood burning stove glows in the background. Known for its flavorful tapas, the menu celebrates the succulent entrees of Italy, Spain, Greece and France. The wood-oven-baked pizzas are popular, as is the Eggplant Parmigiana. For dinner, the family style Paella de Mariso is divine. Order a dessert if just to observe the masterful designs created by the pastry chef. Review © 2007, Wcities |
