FOOD - DRINKS - FRIENDS....the Milanese Apericena comes to Denver!Voghera prides itself in being the first and only restaurant offering APERICENA in the United States. This modern Milanese style of dining is derived from the combination of the words Aperitivo (happy hour) and Cena (dinner). Very similar to the Spanish tapas, Apericena is a convivial experience which embraces small plates and drinks to encourage sharing and the opportunity to savor different flavors and dishes. An entire meal can be composed of smaller dishes or sample one or two alongside larger plates, like our signature Cotoletta alla Milanese – breaded bone-in 16oz veal cutlet – the fresh meat and fish of the day, as well as enjoy our Menu Milanese – a 4- course prix-fixe that revolves around Milan’s best known dishes.Our small but seasonal menu is inspired by the culinary tradition of Milan and also represents the Northen Italian cuisine.

    I shared a lovely time with my adult daughters and we were able to enjoy our conversation . The teas and food were great. My only preference would be that we could each get our own tea as I prefer rooibos, I' one daughter orders fruity ones and the other is fine with black teas. I went ahead and shared the black teas and just hope I won't have a migraine tomorrow as I avoid caffeine😜

    All food was wonderful….. Mezze platter, crouchettes, wine, paella, Catalan flan type dessert… disappointed though that no mint or herbal tea was on the menu or in the house. We had requested a city view… texted that it could not be guaranteed and ended up in the furthest back table away from any view. That was disappointing but the food was so good 👍

    My friend and K really enjoyed Linger! We ordered the pork belly bao, sweet fries, and charred edamame for a shared dinner. All of the food was packed with flavor and delicious. She ordered an old fashioned and I ordered the Thai tea cocktail. She enjoyed her old fashioned and said it was very orange forward, I was unfortunately not a fan of my cocktail but I think only because of personal preference. Overall I still would give it a 5/5. Ambiance was great but it was a tad loud. Looking forward to going back and trying more things!
