Rioja

One of the best if not the best restaurant in Denver. Fantastic food at Michelin 1 star quality. Excellent service . A jewel in Denver. The "bacon " isn't really bacon but pork belly but it's incredible

Greek salad . Very nice. Highly recommend for that special evening on Larimer Square . The background noise level is very high, and not so great for intimate conversation. $125 / couple w wine +tip

Easily one of the best restaurants in Denver & right on the historic & lively Larimer Square . The Blackberry Old Fashioned is excellent and the menu changes with some frequency and is always delicious

One of my favorite Denver restaurants . Excellent menu (diverse and seasonal), wonderful team, nice atmosphere. They also do a great brunch ! Reservations are a must.

Hands down my favourite restaurant in Denver!!! Great for dinner but they also have a fantastic breakfast/brunch menu. Try their house "bacon " for one of the best pork dishes ever, and their donuts !

Absolutely fantastic service! The wait staff were all excellent, the food is fantastic (we especially loved all of the breads , the risotto , and the scallops ) incredible wine list , great location.

Rioja opened in late 2004 to unprecedented fanfare -- fawned over by the press, loved up on the foodie message boards, packed from the start almost every night of the week. Read more

Holy hell this place is amazing. Try as many menu items as you can; menu changes more than 20 times per year and is sometimes completely rebuilt around a single ingredient. A complete delight.

The bread basket is yummy. Order the bacon to start - if multiple people in your party they can split the order so everyone gets their own dish. Friendly courteous servers who are very knowledgeable .

My favorite was the artichoke tortellini . Tried a number is appetizers to go with it and loved each one! Select anything in the menu and you will love it.

Phenomenal dishes and excellent service. Order the homemade pasta : gnocchi and tortelloni were unbelievable. Meats cooked to perfection. Desserts to die for.

Try the fresh bacon , artichoke tortellini , beignets and raspberry spuma....you will not be disappointed! Make a reservation and request outside seating for the amazing ambiance of larimer square .

Loved the lavender sourdough , beets , desserts . Artichoke pasta amazing though tiny portion. Vegetarian 4 sides dish disappointing, should be veg eccentric and not kitchen leftovers, bar snacks .

Surprisingly delicious - it’s more American/Spanish fusion kitchen but really everything tasted excellent - even the cocktails . Will come back for sure.

I despise flowers in food but the sourdough/lavender bread here broke the curse! Also loved the porcini pasta with roasted chestnuts - so seasonal and unique!

Try the bacon with brown sugar , unbelievable omelette , donut appetizer , great Bloody Mary , this place is a must!

If you're not sure on the wine or meal let the team recommend something for you. The entire presentation and selection was so amazing and we just sat back and enjoyed it all.

Started with the fresh mozz & endives app (perfection) then had a pasta dish entree made of two different entrees (yes, they do this). Artichoke & goat cheese tortellini & sweet potato gnocchi

Gabe’s Chicken Salad Sandwich is not only one of the best chicken salads but also one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. ????‍????????

Easily the best restaurant in LoDo. Blackberry whisky sour , artichoke tortelloni is to die for, try the rosemary cheddar biscuit , beignets , I could go on forever...

Bacon/Pork Belly, Raclette , amazing artichoke tortelloni , Colorado wagyu short rib , peanut butter semifreddo dessert . Great service too

Brilliant all the way around. Food, preparation, pairings, presentation, service & atmosphere. A wonderful dining experience, I thank chefs for sharing their artistic gifts with us

Great date atmosphere. Honestly there is better food for the same (high) price, but good. Great cocktails .

One of my favorite restaurants in the world. Fantastic service, creative drinks and impeccable food, every time. The gnocchi is amazing!

everything was fabulous…The artichoke pasta wasn’t as good as my wife’s tagliatelle but everything was wonderful and the wine list was very extensive.

Chicken , (bacon , scallion & golden raisin ) bread pudding , and sautéed kale . A huge plate with the sauce holing everything together!!

So good! Excellent service with delicious food. Loved the avocado citrus salad

Best service - really really courteous staff . Best of all though - the food . Lookout for the seasonal specials , the pappardelle is legen-wait for it- dary!

Make sure you ask for Jessie. The patio is fantastic. The artichoke tortellini and raspberry spumo are life changing. Oh and make sure you start with the picnic !

We did the tasting menu and left very happy and very full. :) The artichoke tortellini with the truffle broth was out of this world delicious!

Jennifer Jasenski is one of the best chefs in the country . Definitely go for the tasting menu with paired wines !

Ths artichoke tortellini is a must... Perfection melting in your mouth... Indescribable...I'm still having dreams about it!

We came for brunch and split the breakfast sandwich and the artichoke tortellini . Both we're amazing, and I can't decide which one was better.

Brunch menu has changed as of Jan 2013...try the Chicken Latkes . Great service, fabulous food as always!

Cavatelli Porcini - Unique. Amazing. Delicious. ????

Duck confit hash at brunch is excellent

We have an annual tradition of trying too reataurants for Valentine’s Day - this one is very near the top. Amazing!

This place is beyond exceptional. My taste buds are having an orgasm. Get a cuke rocks cocktail if you are into gin&tonic.

Good service and classy food medium price . A table outside is a premium

Everything was amazing. The fresh bacon and artichoke tortellini are a must. And the service was outstanding.

Fantastic restaurant . The artichoke tortellini is a must have here and the dessert is good too

If you are gluten sensitive or celiac, they sometimes have a crispy vegetable plate to substitute. If not, pretend that you are, it's great!

Delicious! I loved everything I ate.

Their artichoke ravioli is amazing. The gnocchi was decent but not the best I've ever had.

Awesome cocktails and delicious artichoke tortellini !

The culinary scene in Denver begins here. Get the lamb two ways; your soul will thank you.

Salmon was great.. Loved the use of caramelized veges

The clam tagliatelle .. it was truly a “ratatouille moment” for me

Ii will fly back to Denver to have the Fig and goat cheese beignet wrapped in lemon pastry with fig reduction
