Italian Dining Central to Downtown Denver

Located near the 16th Street Mall, the award-winning Panzano, right on the corner of 17th and Champa Streets,
has become a true local favorite. Exceptional Northern Italian cuisine matches the warm and inviting setting,
the result of Chef Elise Wiggins and her team's commitment to the motto, "Chi mangia bene, vive bene."
Those who eat well, live well.

A Month of Italian Sundays

In the grand fashion of traditional Italian Sunday night dinners, Panzano is very happy to offer a special 3 course tasting menu for $35 each Sunday evening with optional wine pairings accompanying each course for $15. Each month the menu and wines will reflect a different region of the Italian culinary and oenological landscape.For June it will be Le March.Nestled onto the Adriatic coast, Le Marche (pronounced Mar-kay) is one of Italy’s hidden gems. With wild coasts and cliffs that lead directly into the Adriatic, an underrated culinary scene and a couple of unique wines found only there, Le Marche can be a comfortable destination that lies off of the beaten path. Traditionally, Le Marche has been known mostly for farming and as a home for of the best traditional craft trades in Italy. The best known white wines of Le Marche are made from a grape called Verdicchio (found nowhere else in Italy), while the most famous red wines hail from Rosso Conero, many of which are derived from the grape Montepulciano.
We hope you enjoy, Salud!
