Panzano, Chef's 4-Course Tasting Menu

Panzano's $70 4-course tasting presented a considered exploration of Italian flavors. It was a well-priced opportunity to sample a range of offerings and it presented good value for the quality. A $30 wine pairing option was available to enhance the meal.

We arrived and were seated in the main dining room at a booth. Our server, Brian, was a notable asset to the experience. His recommendations for cocktails & desserts were accurate and well-received, demonstrating a good understanding of the menu and a helpful, efficient service style.

The Chef's 4-course tasting menu came with an Antipasti, Primi, Secondi, & Dolci dishes.

The meal began with a Panzanella salad (Antipasti course), a balanced mix of textures and flavors, featuring kale, squash, and a pleasant tang from the sherry vinaigrette.

The pasta course (Primi course), with options like wild boar Bolognese and sausage orecchiette, provided hearty & satisfying dishes.

The Secondi course, Seared Pork Tenderloin main was cooked precisely.

The dessert selection (Dolci course), particularly the Butterscotch Pudding, was a highlight!

A well-paced, thoughtfully prepared Italian meal in Denver, Panzano delivered. The classic dishes were executed with care, and the attentive service by Brian, allowed the food to take center stage.
