Ciao e benvenuti a Voghera!At Voghera we proudly showcase the culinary refinement of Northern Italian cuisine, with a focus on Milanese traditional dishes. Our small menu is inspired by the seasons and reflects the products availability of that time of the year. Along some of our signature Milanese dishes such as Cotoletta alla Milanese – breaded bone-in 16oz veal cutlet, or Risottino alla Milanese – Carnaroli rice simmered with saffron, you can enjoy the Menu Milanese – a 4- course prix-fixe menu that revolves around Milan’s best-known recipes.Also, Voghera is the first to introduce APERICENA in the United States. Very similar to the Spanish Tapas, this modern Milanese style of dining is derived from the combination of the words Aperitivo (happy hour) and Cena (dinner). It’s available as happy hour, as well as every night in substitution of the full dinner menu if desired.

    We sat at the counter and really enjoyed chatting with the chef throughout our meal. It felt like we were hanging out at his house, eating at the kitchen island while he cooked. The chef recommended the camote asado, callo de hacha al horno, enmoladas de pollo, and the taco de suadero. Our favorite bites were the enmoladas de pollo and the taco de suadero. The tortillas and sauces are so good! We also had the birria de borrego which was really good but not quite worth the price compared to the other dishes we enjoyed.

    Everyone we interacted with, host, bartender, and servers were amazing. As was the food. We were celebrating my oldest son’s 21st birthday and you made it very special for him. Joking about his temporary license, complimentary champagne and Tiramisu, we couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you. We will be back soon.

    Fourth time dining at Wildflower. Menu changes from time to time, so always something new to enjoy. Menu items are creative and all are delicious. Server (Karli) was outstanding. Her depth of knowledge about menu items including cocktails was impressive. She was attentive without being intrusive and paced the meal perfectly. Despite every table in the room being occupied, the noise level was negligible. Their version of apple pie, which looks like a large red delicious apple (complete with edible chocolate stem), was an amazing preparation. Wildflower remains our go-to place for special dining.

    I booked for some friends of mine I knew would be as excited about the ambiance & architecture as I was & Stellar Jay did not disappoint. The view was phenomenal for city atmosphere & I can’t wait to return in the spring for warm weather patio vibes. I wished they had an outdoor fire pit, that’s something I would have loved as an addition. The menu was unique & the food delicious. The staff were knowledgeable, friendly & offered great recommendations. I loved watching the chiefs prepare the food openly & the roasted fire aroma was intoxicating. Really enjoyed this visit!

    This might just be my favorite restaurant in Denver. The basement is one of the coolest spots we have ever dined—such a cool vibe. The pasta is out of this world, the wine selection is fantastic, and the service is top notch. Can’t say enough good things!
