Denver’s Google-Raved Italian Gem—Worth Every Penny! 🍝✨

After a week of **disappointing "white people food"** in Denver, I **deep-dived Google reviews** and struck gold with **Barolo Grill** (4.7 stars, 1K+ reviews!). Booked last-minute for **9:15 PM**—but scored **bar seats at 8 PM** (bartender was **super helpful** with recs!). 🍽️ **What We Devoured**: 💙 **Smoked Beef Carpaccio w/ Parm**: - **24-month aged cheese** (creamy, not salty!) + **silky smoked beef**. - **Red kiwi slices = genius sweet twist**! 🥝 💛 **Complimentary Bread**: Warm, **rosemary-dusted soft bread**—*free carbs = best carbs*. 🥖 🧡 **Lobster Ravioli (half-portion)**: - **6 handmade pockets** stuffed with **lobster + mascarpone**. - Broth = **umami bomb**! 🦞 💚 **Colorado Lamb Chops**: - **Perfectly charred, juicy, zero gaminess**. - Served with **red wine farro + roasted beets**—**MVP dish**! 🏆 💜 **Mocktail "Did You Know?"**: **Lemon-forward refresher**—ideal palate cleanser. 🍋 💰 **~$70/person** (worth it for **Michelin-level quality**). #DenverEats #ItalianFood #FoodieFind
