CRAFTED IN THE KITCHEN
The culinary team at Radicato hand crafts the entire menu. Pastas are made fresh in house everyday by our Chefs. From stuffed pastas like ravioli to extruded shapes like bucatini and mafaldine; you can taste the quality and care that goes into every dish on our menu.
INGREDIENT DRIVEN
We believe that quality dishes start with using quality produce and products. Our culinary team curates ingredients year round to highlight seasonality and freshness. We work with local producers to highlight the bounty of Colorado produce when it is available. Ingredients from across the country and Italy are carefully selected to bring the highest quality products available to our kitchen and dining room. Great cuisine starts with great ingredients that are simply treated to highlight their inherent greatness.
CURATED BEVERAGE PROGRAMS
Radicato offers intentional beverage programs from an Italian and American focused wine list, seasonally crafted cocktails, and beautifully prepared espresso drinks. The wine list is curated by Madison Church who focuses on small, quality producers that blend modern viticulture while maintaining classic tasting profiles. Cocktails are presented by an expert bar team whose experiences inform the spirit selection and flavor profiles of the cocktail program.
