Ciao e benvenuti a Voghera!

At Voghera we proudly showcase the culinary refinement of Northern Italian cuisine, with a focus on Milanese traditional dishes. Our small menu is inspired by the seasons and reflects the products availability of that time of the year.
Along some of our signature Milanese dishes such as Cotoletta alla Milanese – breaded bone-in 16oz veal cutlet, or Risottino alla Milanese – Carnaroli rice simmered with saffron, you can enjoy the Menu Milanese – a 4- course prix-fixe menu that revolves around Milan’s best-known recipes.

Also, Voghera is the first to introduce APERICENA in the United States. Very similar to the Spanish Tapas, this modern Milanese style of dining is derived from the combination of the words Aperitivo (happy hour) and Cena (dinner). It’s available as happy hour, as well as every night in substitution of the full dinner menu if desired.

From the moment we walked in, we were met with huge smiles and greetings from the bartenders, the hostess and other staff members. That greeting was refreshing! We were fortunate to have Mohammed walk us through the menu, answer all of our questions, and return numerous times to check in, after our meal was delivered. The food was perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. The dishes were authentic, and delicious. It was nice to see all the staff, (including the owner) stop by to be sure we were enjoying our dining experience. We also loved the atmosphere of the restaurant. We will be making another reservation soon. Thank you, Terry and Deborah Utzinger

The owner, Marco, is incredibly hospitable and welcoming. The food tasted like it came straight from Italy. This place is the closest to the streets of Florence you can get in Denver. The Milanese-Prix (fixed menu) was an absolute dream… heaven in your mouth with each dish. The wait staff are knowledgeable and professional. The ambiance is warm, masculine, and romantic. I will certainly be coming back!!!

Food & menu was really good. Unique compared to most Italian restaurants. Service was a little disappointing. Server forgot plates. I had to bring my card to the server after waiting 10-15 mins to find him on his phone. We over ordered, thinking everything was small to medium plates. This is just my opinion, but I would expect an experienced server to point out when two people are ordering six items that they might want to wait until the 2nd course to order more. Despite that, the restaurant is really good.
