Risica, serving small plates and pizza, will have a “Milano energy.”
Chef Andrea Frizzi, known for Il Posto and Vero, plans to open a new restaurant in 2025 called Risica, in RiNo. Andrea Frizzi isn’t afraid to admit that pride is part of what kept him going at Il Posto, the lauded fine-dining restaurant he ranBut Frizzi is older and wiser now – and looking for something simpler.
It will serve charcuterie, oysters and small plates along the lines of beef carpaccio, seasonal crudo, crostini and white cannelloni bean hummus. There also will be Neapolitan-style pizza, baked in a Marra Forni brick oven, with a classic crust and modern toppings like mortadella with pistachio cream, fresh figs, Palisade peaches, foie gras, local porcini mushrooms and ramps.
So it’s no coincidence that the plans coincide with Frizzi’s exit in August from Denver Central Market, the upscale food hall at 2669 Larimer St., where he’d operated two other concepts:Chef Andrea Frizzi will serve small plates at Risica that are similar to those he is now making at Cucina Fantasma, which is located inside Georgie’s Denver, a bar at 1416 Market St.
“I am loving it. It’s back to the basics,” Frizzi said about the operation, where he is cooking and producing many of the same dishes he plans to bring to Risica.
