Via Baca, which has been nominated for AOL’s Best Pizza in Denver, is offering Tavola for Two! Enjoy a meal for two from a three course menu and select a Bottle of Wine- all for Via Baca’s Mile High signature price of only $52.80.
We cannot think of a better excuse to share some time and a fine meal together- Escape to Italy by way of Via Baca and you’ll only have to go as far as the Lincoln Shopping Center in Lone Tree. No passport required, just a Tavola (table) for two.
