PastaVino
The name says it all!... still read this article, though.
1043 Pearl St; Boulder; 303.955.8791
While Pasta Wine is just what unimpressed diners leave in the comment box at Olive Garden, PastaVino is a new 90-seater with "rustic architectural features" and a massive, colorful 'za oven dishing out "simple, contemporary" Italian smack dab in the middle of Pearl Street.
Whet your appetite with starters like grilled Maurizio Casareccio bread brushed with garlic/ tomato puree, DOK Dall'Ava San Daniele prosciutto paired with a potato Montasio cheese tart, and the oceanic goodness of a calamari/ bay scallops/ asparagus dish called Fritto Misto, also the taunt of an Italian guy who just skillfully dodged your flying corn chip.
Now ease into something more entree-ish -- wait, do it... slowly -- like pizza with prosciutto, roasted pear tomatoes, and shaved parm, pumpkin tortellini (made following a traditional Milano recipe), pan-roasted pork scaloppine wrapped in prosciutto, and a braised veal leg cooked in white wine.
Speaking of which, the wine list pulls mainly from the homeland and includes a whole section for biodynamics, while grape-aphobes can enjoy eight mostly craft taps (including Grand Lake's Plaid Bastard), and 'tails like a barrel-aged gin/ green chartreuse/ Luxardo concoction called The Last Word, which, given the advanced age of most people eating at Olive Garden, may well be what they leave in those comment boxes.
Hit up their Facebook to get hungry looking at photos of their pasta and tortellini
