FOOD - DRINKS - FRIENDS....the Milanese Apericena comes to Denver!Voghera prides itself in being the first and only restaurant offering APERICENA in the United States. This modern Milanese style of dining is derived from the combination of the words Aperitivo (happy hour) and Cena (dinner). Very similar to the Spanish tapas, Apericena is a convivial experience which embraces small plates and drinks to encourage sharing and the opportunity to savor different flavors and dishes. An entire meal can be composed of smaller dishes or sample one or two alongside larger plates, like our signature Cotoletta alla Milanese – breaded bone-in 16oz veal cutlet – the fresh meat and fish of the day, as well as enjoy our Menu Milanese – a 4- course prix-fixe that revolves around Milan’s best known dishes.Our small but seasonal menu is inspired by the culinary tradition of Milan and also represents the Northen Italian cuisine.

I shared a lovely time with my adult daughters and we were able to enjoy our conversation . The teas and food were great. My only preference would be that we could each get our own tea as I prefer rooibos, I' one daughter orders fruity ones and the other is fine with black teas. I went ahead and shared the black teas and just hope I won't have a migraine tomorrow as I avoid caffeine😜

What a lovely trattoria. Great service from maitre’ d Seth, my server Alane and her support team. The food was excellent, gnocchi and polenta stole my heart as well as the authentic and mouthwatering puntarelle insalata. Approachable in all areas for the casual diner to the elegant wine savant. 10/10.

All food was wonderful….. Mezze platter, crouchettes, wine, paella, Catalan flan type dessert… disappointed though that no mint or herbal tea was on the menu or in the house. We had requested a city view… texted that it could not be guaranteed and ended up in the furthest back table away from any view. That was disappointing but the food was so good 👍
