The Scene – Droves flock to nosh on Chef Lachlan MacKinnon-Patterson's phenomenal fare. The streamlined space, appointed with hardwoods, white linens, stunning glass-encased wine wall and earthy colors, complements Patterson's simple, seamless and seasonal menu, which changes nightly. There's a small, sleek bar for casual dining, a salumi counter and a lavish dessert display table. – – The Food – Start with the salumi plate, a medley of cured Italian meats and house-made bread sticks served with a fresh horseradish and creme fraiche "rafano." Other highlights include…
Editor's Tips
- Know Before You Go:
- Reservations are absolutely essential, but if you want to gamble, try snagging a seat at the small front bar or salumi counter.
- What to Drink:
- With a 37-page wine roster, the libation of choice is obvious, but if wine doesn't wow you, try a pour of grappa.
- Save Money:
- The Monday prix-fixe dinner, consisting of three courses, is a deal at $29 per person.

Rip Off!
by egbdenver at Citysearch
We are very much international "foodies". Frasca and their pre- fix menu leaves much to be desired. The menu is difficult and packed with outrageous up-charges in every category. Food is definately not worth the enormous price.
Size of entries were laughable. Time between courses was long and unacceptable. If you want to pay higher than NYC greatest restaurants prices and receive inferior food, than this is the place for you!!

Way Over Priced
by Tourofthemoon at Citysearch
After spending well over $200 we came away hungry. Presentation was nice, as was the wine, but for how much it costs -- not worth it.

Tasty food, small portions, overpriced
by densie at Citysearch
We indulged ourselves with a birthday celebration at Frasca after not visiting for over four years. Now I recall why we never went out of our way to return. Lovely, tasty food but the portions are small and overpriced. The room is nice but the table by the windows was cold and drafty. Perhaps I am overly critical given our current financial situation but the experience was not worth the monetary outlay.
- Pros: yummy
- Cons: expensive

Overrated!
by snowe at Citysearch
My family recently dined at Frasca for a graduation celebration. They were serving a 4-course, pre-fixe menu. The service was good - a bit over earnest, but good. The food, however was bland and lacked the artistry you would expect from such a highly lauded restaurant/chef. The salumi plate could be much more substantial for the price, or at least a party of six should be warned that it is a very small plate. The lobster risotto was tasty, as was the salad with egg and prosciutto. The gnocchi and halibut were cold and very bland, respectively. Overall, my family was disappointed with their experience, especially when we received the bill. We don't mind paying good money for great food, but our experience at Frasca just didn't cut it. There are much better restaurants in Boulder.
- Pros: Service
- Cons: Expensive, bland food
