Frasca Food and Wine

Italian, Friulian · Boulder · Chef Ian Palazzola

Frasca Food and Wine in Boulder is a James Beard-recognized Italian restaurant devoted to the cooking of Friuli, in Italy's northeast. Under chef Ian Palazzola, the menu moves through Friulian signatures — frittata di Collio, white asparagus, risotto ai finferli and blecs verdi — with the Quattro Piatti format inviting diners to build a four-course progression.
