Spuntino Denver

Spuntino is on West 32nd Avenue. The space leans into a smart, elegant register, serving Italian and contemporary dishes.

Most Italian spots in Denver rely on heavy, red-sauce comfort, but Spuntino succeeds by stripping that weight away. The kitchen treats classic ingredients with a lighter touch, a welcome contrast to the more rustic, traditional rooms found elsewhere in the city. While the walk from Jefferson Park takes twenty minutes, the distance keeps the noise of the main drags at bay, making this the quiet, considered alternative to the louder, packed dining rooms in the centre of town.
