The Greenwich
Denver's RiNo Art District continues to add to its culinary hotspots, and The Greenwich 2.0 is no exception. Once known for its New American fare, the restaurant recently unveiled a new Italian menu, which blew us away! We experienced fresh, seasonal ingredients and house-made creations that elevated the traditional Italian dining experience.

We arrived at The Greenwich and were seated in the main dining room, a bright space that buzzed with friendly energy. Our server Andy had stellar recommendations - he knew the new menu inside & out - he made sure we had everything we needed while we dined & we loved his energy.
The first order of business: cocktails! To complement the new Italian menu, the restaurant also curated a new cocktail & wine list featuring craft creations, Italian reds, whites, and sparklings. Whether you're a seasoned Chianti drinker or a Pinot Grigio novice, the knowledgeable staff will help you find the perfect pairing.
The Ibisco Margarita was made with Campo Bravo tequila blanco, Solerno Blood Orange liqueur, Frangelico, & hibiscus. Just look at that gorgeous purple - this cocktail had floral & earthy notes.

The Almafi Coast was made with Family Jones gin, cucumber, & basil EVOO. This cocktail was refreshing - light & herbaceous.
The Naked & Italian was made with Bozal mezcal, Aperol, Strega, & lime. This cocktail was smoky & citrusy with a delicate bitterness.
We had several Piccolini dishes which stands for "little ones".

The Fried Mozz was served alongside sweet garlic salsa - golden perfection with the ultimate cheese-pull we were looking for.

The King Mountain Wagyu Carpaccio was made with sunchoke chips, black garlic aioli, & sunflower sprouts. This luxurious dish was stunning - I’ve never seen a prettier carpaccio.

The House-Made Stracciatella was the gooey inside of a burrata ball served with sourdough crackers.

For Insalata we had the Insalata Di Gem which is their take on a Caesar - green goddess, with croutons & tarragon. This salad featured crisp romaine with a bright and creamy dressing & croutons for texture.

No Italian meal is complete without pizza, and The Greenwich 2.0 did not disappoint. We opted for the Calabrese & Hot Honey Pizza, a delightful combination of thinly sliced Calabrese sausage, spicy tomato sauce, smoked mozzarella, & red onion. The thin, crispy crust was the perfect base for this flavorful and slightly spicy pizza. We couldn't get enough of the hot honey drizzled on each bite.

For Piatto Grande we had the Famous Greenwich Roasted Chicken which was a half a 3 lb. chicken with lemon-caper sauce and served with Jacob’s Mushrooms & pistachio-garlic crunch. This chicken stayed on The Greenwich's menu for a reason - it was so succulent.

For dessert we had the cheesecake and torta. The Greenwich Cheesecake was made with a graham cracker crust, olive oil, & sea salt. The Torta Caprese was a a brownie-like, flourless chocolate cake with whipped crème fraîche & hazelnuts.
