We live out of state and wanted to take my mom out to a great dinner while we were in Denver. We went there with high expectations based on the reviews and my wife being from northern Italy and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of service and food. Our tajarin con conigelio was one if the highlights of the evening.

I took my family for a celebration at Texas de Brazil. It was the perfect place. For those that aren’t big meat eaters, the salad bar is wonderful. Add the many meat selections, and it is amazing. Also, it is very friendly to those on special diets. . .so many gf options!
