Mike's Pick - August 17th

La Nonna · Vail

Prosciutto and melon starter is a must. Pasta dishes delicious, mushroom ravioli in particular. Atmosphere and service are consistently outstanding.

Jean-Claude's Pick - August 17th

Northside Cafe · Avon

Really quick stop to get a wonderful donut or plenty of bearclaws on the run. SOOO GOOD!
