Sarto’s Social Italian Eatery & Pantry in Denver’s Jefferson Park neighborhood will launch a traditional Cicchetti and Crudo Bar, a staple of the bustling, social dining scene in Italy’s city centers. The new dining option will be available starting Nov. 23.
Drawing from the early evening scenes of piazzas all over Italy, where friends gather for an apertivo and a small bite, Sarto’s Cicchetti and Crudo Bar will bring this Italian tradition of social “snacking” to Denver, inviting guests to enjoy an ever-changing offering of inspired small bites, prepared at the restaurant’s 12-seat counter by a member of Sarto’s talented team of chefs.
From hand-carved charcuterie to bespoke bites, this uniquely casual and interactive experience pairs perfectly with friends and a properly fitted beer, wine or cocktail, and allows diners to enjoy, and share, a few small bites, or curate a full meal. The Cicchetti and Crudo Bar will be available from 5 to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
The Cicchetti and Crudo Bar will transform into the Chef’s Counter on Friday and Saturday evenings. This off-menu dining experience will be offered by reservation only, and is pre-designed to match each guest’s distinct dining preferences.
Upon making reservations, guests provide specific details on their palate preferences, which Sarto’s team of Master Food Tailors use to craft custom menus for the event. Upon arrival, guests meet the evening’s chef and devoted libation expert, who will assist in pairings throughout the evening, allowing guests to take in the multi-course experience – prepared counterside – and interact with the chef, learning about the techniques, flavor profiles and ingredients of that night’s menu in a highly personalized setting. The Chef’s Counter will be available on Friday and Saturday evenings beginning at 5 p.m.
“It’s really amazing to have such a strong and experienced culinary team come together, and embrace the vision of tailored, sociable dining, so we are able to add experiences such as the Cicchetti & Crudo Bar,” said Owner Taylor Swallow of the talented culinary team, consisting of Chefs Eric Lee, Ivan Ceballos, Liz Farrall and Daniel Bourgios.
In addition to Sarto’s nightly dinner, the Cicchetti and Crudo Bar and Chef’s Counter will join the recently added weekend brunch, complete with Saber Saturdays and Sundays. During brunch, when guests order Italian Methode Traditionelle bubbles, they are offered the opportunity to learn to properly saber open the bottle by one of Sarto’s trained professionals.
Sarto’s also offers a notable wine list and cocktail menu, both of which reflect the seasonality of the dishes served. Mirroring the tailored nature of the menu, the cocktail program is underscored by Sarto’s popular “Custom Fit Cocktail,” whereby the bartenders create customized cocktails to guest’s liking.
