 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.

Late night ice cream stop |
1111 13th Street (at College) Boulder, CO 80302 United States |
In Boulder it is always a good time for ice cream. That is why this small hole-in-the-wall scoop shop keeps the doors open well into the night. The cones are cheap and the ice cream, which comes in an array of creative flavors, is homemade on-site. You can actually watch the transformation of sugar and cream into a tasty chocolate chip or raspberry cheesecake flavor. The location on the Hill draws all sorts of characters, from hungry hippies to college professors to wandering tourists, making for an interesting wait in line. Review © 2007, Wcities |

1000 South Boulder Road Boulder, CO 80027 United States +1 303 661 9896 |
Like with any other barbecue smokehouse, the setting in this wood dominated restaurant is casual and teeters on resembling a neighborhoood sports bar. But based on the always busy parking lot, the food overcomes the setting.The menu, though small, specializes in Southern style barbecue and features a full slab of "have-plenty-of-napkins-handy" ribs for $21.50. There are also barbecue chicken and pork options, as well. For lighter appetites, choose from the barbecue sandwiches, including brisket, burgers and a parent-happy kid's menu.

Care-free and casual |

This loose and carefree place harbors a heavy 1960s slant and features Jimi Hendrix and Grateful Dead paraphernalia on the walls and the staff looks as if they attended a few Dead shows during their time. But even if you are not into that music or style, the menu is still worth checking out.
