Is the pizza anything special? Meatball sliders and porchetta cubana sound delicious! Thanks. Thu Jun 04 12:24:58 -0700 2009 65105 hungryinaz 1 4742902 I recommend the burrata and the mussels. Enjoy--love that place! Thu Jun 04 13:40:18 -0700 2009 4742683 220070 margemayhem 1 4742903 Their burrata cheese served with grilled ciabatta bread is heavenly, definitely recommend it. Haven't tried their pizza/sandwiches before Thu Jun 04 13:40:31 -0700 2009 4742683 531484 SE_ME 1 4743953 Third the burrata. Also love the ricotta, the grilled artichoke, the shaved lamb salad, and the fonduta...Pizza's almost the only thing I don't find especially memorable. Here are a couple of posts I've done about the place. http://denveater.typepad.com/denveater/2008/06/osteria-marco-mostly-hits-the-marko.html http://www.denveater.com/denveater/2008/09/i-knew-a-luca-once-though-unlike-frank-bonnanos-son-the-spelling-reflected-not-the-traditional-meaningaccording-to-about.html Thu Jun 04 20:26:24 -0700 2009 4742683 11106 tatamagouche 2 4747351 Fourth the burrata. Lap it up with some lovely prosciutto on the side. Let us know what you tried last night, hungryinaz.

We did the chef's meat/cheese plate (good), the grilled ciabatta bread with pesto/sun dried tomato dip (really good), meatball sliders (pretty good), Italian dip panini (OK, side salad was WAY over salted), porchetta cubano paninni (pork had a funky flavor, salad was oversalted). Mon Jun 08 13:31:43 -0700 2009 4748079 65105 hungryinaz 3 4753970 So the panini were the main problems, sounds like? Haven't had 'em. I've heard a couple of mehs but the vast majority of reviews are fat thumbs up. Off-nights happen—still think Bonnano's got the quality-control thing pretty well down though. Mon Jun 08 14:26:19 -0700 2009 4753765 11106 tatamagouche 4 4755319 We were there on a Sunday in February. My husband had the Roast Suckling Pig that is served Sundays only. He said it was fantastic. I had the wild mushroom and robiola cheese pizza that was really incredibly good. The teenager tried the pizza Margherita that was dull and boring and in another league than our two wonderful meals. For appetizers I had the lovely ricotta cheese. The teenager picked wrong on all counts and had the weird ciabatta bread with pesto and balsamic vinegar and olive oil all mixed together. The adults would return in a heartbeat. The teenager was thoroughly unimpressed. Be careful to order wisely!

But yeah, that roast pig...haven't been there on a Sunday yet, but determined to. Tue Jun 09 07:09:40 -0700 2009 4755319 11106 tatamagouche
