Barolo Grill
Founded in 1992, Barolo Grill is a Denver legacy restaurant dedicated to bringing the authentic culture and flavors of Northern Italy to its guests. Renowned for its commitment to genuine culinary storytelling, Barolo Grill closes its doors annually for week-long staff trips to Italy, where team members gather inspiration for the restaurant’s seasonally driven menu and expertly curated wine list. Under the leadership of owner Ryan Fletter, who first joined the team in 1994 and has participated in every trip since 1995, Barolo Grill has become a leader in the industry. These immersive experiences foster creativity, high staff retention, and a loyal customer base. The restaurant has received top accolades, including a Michelin Recommendation, Michelin Colorado’s Sommelier Award (2023), and the prestigious Wine Spectator Grand Award—an honor held by only 97 restaurants worldwide. They’ve retained their spot on this coveted list since 2018.
