Although we mostly enjoyed our meal, our experience was immediately tainted because there are no baby changing tables in the restroom. This seems like a basic courtesy for any restaurant. We will not be returning and do not recommend this as a family friendly spot! read more

This place was amazing. The bartender was great and we were able to try a variety of wines which were fantastic. Bringing my girlfriends back here, especially to sit at the bar. Their bar scene is perfect for a girls night, or date nights. There were a ton of dates all around us! read more

Corsica - Wine Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Corsica is a rare find in Denver. In a town rife with laid-back breweries and food trucks, Corsica offers a taste of East Coast sophistication and Mediterranean chic, for dirt-cheap prices. We stopped in after noticing their beautifully muraled exterior and took a couple seats at their spacious and gorgeous bar. Corsica's happy hour value is unheard of - Sangrias, glasses of wine, and beautifully prepared bites for nearly nothing. We started with a couple of white clericots, which was a perfectly scented wine punch, and followed that up with a small carafe of delicious house white. We paired our drinks with a delightfully zingy broccoli Caesar and feta baked in phyllo, drizzled with Greek honey - the perfect accompaniments for an incredible value. A bright light in a sea of beer, Corsica is on my list of Denver musts. read more

I recently went to Corsica Wine Bar for happy hour with some girlfriends. The building's exterior is impressive and definitely catches the eye. My friend had made a reservation, but it didn't seem necessary as the restaurant was quite large, and only a few tables were occupied when we arrived. One thing that bothered me right away was that they seated us uncomfortably close to another table, even though most of the restaurant was empty. It's frustrating when this happens, especially when there are plenty of open tables. We ordered drinks--some spritzes and wine. Right off the bat, two of my friends' drinks were mixed up. They put the spritz garnishes in the wine, so my friends were drinking the wrong ones. It was a funny mix-up, as one friend thought her spritz was missing something, while the other wondered why her wine was sparkling. We ordered a variety of small plates to share: the cacio e pepe, baked lobster pasta, Caesar salad, empanadas, beef, and whipped ricotta toast. The only real standouts were the Caesar salad and beef--both were excellent. The pastas, on the other hand, were disappointing. The cacio e pepe lacked flavor entirely, and the baked lobster pasta was dry, though the sauce had a nice taste. The whipped ricotta was fine, but it was also bland. One thing I do appreciate is that their kitchen stays open late, which is rare to find in Denver. I'd come back for that. My Aperol spritz was made well, with the right balance, though that's not too difficult to get right. Overall, I wouldn't add Corsica to my regular rotation, but I'd be willing to give it another try. read more

Love the concept and execution at Corsica. Amazing food, wine selection, and service. Tyler was outstanding--allowing us to order nibbles over the course of several hours and take time sipping from our bottle of Corsican wine. Stand out dishes: the tuna carpaccio, beef bavette, and Caesar salad. Vinegar chips were a delightful staring snack. Mushrooms were a delicious accoutrement for the beef. The almond cake -- made in house -- might be the best cake I've had at any restaurant anywhere. Save room for it. Personal touches from the managers, hosts, and servers made the experience one I'd come back for. Looks like a great place for group dining. FYI, it is very loud. read more

Do you like Barcelona then try this Mediterranean and Italian version? I love the long bar (first come and first serve) and the best seats are at the end of the bar where you can see the open kitchen. My favorite dish is this hazelnut small dates but I need to com back at least another 3 times to dry everything. read more

Came back to try this place again after a few months and changes to the menu--and was much more impressed. It seems as though some much needed changes were made after my last visit. I have to say I was stuck between 4 and 5 stars for the food alone, but the service pushed me over the edge on giving a 5 star review. The food was much better this time--our highlights were the Beef Brochettes (so tender and flavorful), the Barbajuan (the flakiness of the ravioli was so good) and the Almond Cake. The stuffed dates were the only item we ordered that we didn't love, but that was more of a specific flavor that just wasn't for me I think. The service was absolutely outstanding and definitely made this dinner experience notable. We will be back. read more

Loved coming here for happy hour! The wine deals were great, just $5 a glass of their house red and white which were both pretty good. There are some happy hour bites on the menu as well that are not available on the regular menu, so some different things to try. We got the lamb dolmas which were very tastey. From the regular menu we tried the whipped ricotta toast, broccoli Caesar, tuna carpaccio, and the almond cake. The broccoli Caesar was the standout dish for sure with the delicious dressing and a generous amount of Parmesan, it was so tastey I didn't even get a picture of it!! The ricotta toast was great, the toppings paired perfectly with the sweetness of the ricotta, would definitely get again. The tuna was good but nothing amazing, and at the price point I don't think I would get it again. We sat at the bar where the service was extremely quick. Will definitely be returning to try more bites in the future!! read more

Always a wonderful meal and experience at Corsica. Great, welcoming and friendly service! Love the rustic vibes, decor and comforting atmosphere. Service is always perfectly timed with the tapas and all the tapas compliment each other with the burst of flavors. All of the servers are always so knowledgeable about the menu, specials and cocktails. I also love how they always do personal recommendations that end up being my favorite drinks or menu items. Dined out as walk ins with with out-of-town guests on a Monday night after 8p reservation. The restaurant was accommodating with a 5 minute wait. Rino parking is always challenging, but on a Monday night, we scored parking just a block and a half away and a short walk. We really just enjoyed each other's company, and the delicious food all evening. I didn't take many photos of each order, but some of the favorites tonight were the multiple orders of the Barbajuan (crispy ravioli with ricotta, greens, parmigiano), Brussels Sprout Remoulade with smoked trout, tuscan kale, sesame, Corsican Frites (hand cut russets, fried herbs, aioli, calabrian ketchup), Salmon Rillettes (vinegar chips, tarragon, dill), Gemelli 'Cacio e Pepe (parmigiano, pecorino romano, hazelnuts), Farro 'Risotto' (mushroom, sunchoke, black truffle, sunflower-rosemary crisp), Grilled Chicken Thigh with the delicious vadouvan aioli, and the Beef Bavette With green peppercorn sauce, parsley. That green peppercorn sauce is SO GOOD! Jar it up and eat it with everything please! Also whether you want an NA or a good cocktail or a fantastic wine with your meal, you definitely need to order something at Corsica. I love their drinks! Tonight I ventured out of my norm and got the Picasso (reyka vodka, lillet rose, grapefruit, honeydew melon, lemon, peychauds, rosemary), but would definitely order rounds of the Wolfpack (four roses bourbon, braulio amaro, mattei cap corse rouge, salted honey, lemon, kinome) next time. Thank you Corsica for a wonderful meal! Our friends from Chicago really enjoyed the experience and now want to come back to explore the menu but also try Barcelona too. read more

This was a 10 out of 10 experience! First time there, and went on 1/2 off bottles of wine Sunday! It is an excellent deal, let me tell you! The atmosphere is cozy and intimate, and the service was impeccable. The server and manager were a font of knowledge, helping us choose shareable plates and wines. We ended up ordering an Italian wine that we didn't love, and both our server and the manager were so kind and gracious, swapping out the bottle with another choice and not charging us for the wine we didn't love. We definitely loved our second choice, Chateau Pipeau Bordeaux. We felt very taken care of. We also all had some cocktails: Pomme au Poivre, Wolfpack, Golden Hour Negroni, and Citron Sunrise. They were expertly made! For shareables we got: Stuffed Dates, Whipped Ricotta Toast, Tuna Carpaccio, Farro Risotto, Rigatoni Bolognese, Bastian Meatballs, Tiramisu, Fritelli. Everything was so good! It really was the perfect evening. We'll be back for sure! read more

Barcelona Wine bar's cooler, hotter, older sister!! Love the atmosphere so much. Our server had wonderful recommendations and was very knowledgeable about the wine collection. The food was 10/10. I love a decedent meal; everything was rich, crispy, cheesy, and delicious. All of the things you'd want in a meal. I ordered dessert fried raviolis with honey as an appetizer and I'm still thinking about them as I write this. The crispy potato's though? Favorite thing we had. Will be back to try more! read more

The night before Valentine's Day, a friend and I snagged a last-minute reservation at Corsica Wine Bar! It was surprisingly easy despite the holiday rush. The place was packed, but the service didn't miss a beat. We ordered a spread of pork belly, cacio e pepe, ricotta toast, frites, and a broccoli Caesar, and every dish delivered. The cacio e pepe was perfectly creamy and peppery, the ricotta toast light and flavorful with some delicious berries, and the pork belly rich and satisfying. Between the lively atmosphere, great service, and incredible food, Corsica is the kind of spot that makes you want to come back! read more

Corsica has great food, and even greater cocktails. However, it's the loudest place I've ever been. Both of the times we went I left with a headache. It's a great place, but impossible to make conversation and actually enjoy the space. The service was also great! Definitely recommend the steak and fries! read more

Make a reservation in advance, because although this place is HUGE they are booked way in advance! Finally made it in on a Saturday and the place was packed! Super cute interior but in a loud and lively environment. We were a party of 2 and got the whipped ricotta toast, chicken liver mousse from the apero. The whipped ricotta toast was a bit on the salty side and the chicken liver mousse was a bit hard to eat the way it was spread onto the plate but it was good. We then got the scallop crudo (good but small and simple) barbajuan (delicious), frites (they gave us Heinz, not their homemade ketchup for sure), farro risotto (love the mushrooms on this), and porc aux olives (wish they gave us some bread to eat with this as it was just the meat). We also got the cheesecake. I'd say we were full and satisfied by the end. We got the cava that they advertise to start and a cocktail each. Overall, was a pretty pleasant meal. I would definitely come back to try the other things on the menu. And service was friendly. read more

We stopped by this place during a recent visit to Denver. They have plenty of wines to choose from as well as a host of dishes from snacks to medium sized plates. We ordered several different items to share - all were wonderful. The ricotta toast was one of my favorite items. If you're downtown, this is a great spot to grab a bite! read more

Came here for the first time and had a pleasant experience! First off the ambiance was so lovely. Very cozy and great vibes for any occasion! Loved the service here. It was pretty busy and sat at the counter which honestly is the best spot because it felt more intimate! The server was busy but also attentive! Left a great impression. The food was delicious! I love that it was tapas and love ordering different varieties. Got some of the small plates and each plate I ordered was truly delicious. Very rustic and simple!

Food: 3/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 I was happy my gf snagged a resy at this new spot in rino on a Friday night. Our reservation was for 8:30, and we ended up getting a table at 8:45. I highly recommend getting a res as the walk ins were being quoted 1.5-2 hours for a table. I was surprised that the inside was LARGE (I think 3 dining areas?) and very loud. However, I thought the ambiance was nice with dim lighting and wood finishes. We were sat at a small table and immediately offered a $5 pour of a wine from Corsica, which I thought was a nice touch (and delicious). Our server, Leanne, was one of the best servers I've had. She was extremely thoughtful and marked up the menu to only show the veggie options for us. She also had a lot of great recommendations and was just overall attentive. We ordered several small plates (6 in total) and were happy with some and could pass on others. Our favorites were the whipped ricotta toast, farro risotto, and cacio e Pepe. The squash and mushroom skewers were both just okay. The frites were a pass, the potato slices were just too big to have any good flavor or crunch. The standout was the dessert - almond cake - which was PHENOMENAL. One of the best desserts I've had! Wine was also great, but that was to be expected. Overall, I'd say this is a cute little spot for a date night, especially for a light bite and some wine. read more

Great new spot with a cool vibe from the same people as Barcelona Wine Bar -- so I'm sure it'll soon be packed all the time, too. Great service, delicious French/Italian small plates, fantastic wine and cocktail options -- plus a late night kitchen until 12 or 1am! COST Yes it's pricy (our bill was about $180 for 2 people, but we got the nicest glasses of champagne, the most expensive glasses of Pinot Noir, and were full at the end). If you go in with the idea that $17 is too much for a small bowl of mussels and white fish -- no mater how delicious -- maybe don't go here. FOOD Recommended items: warm olives, nduja stuffed dates, scallop crudo, meatballs, mussels and white fish, almond cake. The potato wedges looked legit as an affordable filler, too! (The white beans and veal olive stew are 2 we wouldn't get again -- just a bit salty.) read more

A fantastic experience from start to finish! Made a reservation, highly recommend. Seated right away, and vibe inside was cozy and fun, nice light levels and table arrangements to use/fill the space but but feel like you are on top of your dining neighbor. Every cocktail we tried and wine we had was actually fantastic!! We utilized our servers knowledge to guide us all to our drinks. Same for the small plates, our server did such a good job explaining dishes to the four of us so we could decide what to order. We did a few rounds of orders with plates of various sizes, probably ordered 12 in total across the four of us. The menu changes, so we thought it was best to just ask for recommendations! Highly recommend Corsica, and will absolutely come back when I'm in the Denver area! read more

Wow. Just wow. The food and service here are absolutely top notch. We had a larger party that we reserved the back private room for with a prix fix menu. There was not one bite of food that I didn't want a second bite of. Notable bites were the farro risotto (I kept coming back to that one), the bavette steak, vinegar potato chips and the grilled mushrooms. I went with the Wolfpack cocktail and I could drink this weekly. CJ, Julie and Devin all worked with me for this and they were all fantastic, friendly and super responsive. read more

What a beautiful way to repurpose an old building into such a stunning restaurant! The dining area is filled with thoughtfully placed antiquated items that add character and charm. We dined outside and had an absolutely lovely experience. The service was quick and friendly, making it the perfect spot for my friends and me to celebrate together. I'd definitely recommend making a reservation to avoid waiting and ensure you get the full experience. This place is ideal for a date night or a girls' night out. The food was outstanding overall--just a great atmosphere all around. My only caveat was that the oysters didn't quite have the flavor I was expecting, but everything else was fantastic! Pros: - beautifully renovated space with charming, antique decor, fast and friendly service, perfect for a date night or gathering with friends, outstanding food and overall experience Cons: - oysters weren't as flavorful as expected, reservations recommended read more

I was visiting friends in Denver last month and this place was recommended. Firstly, service was most definitely top notch, our server was attentive, helpful, and poignant. When you're seated they offer $5 little ikea cups of wine. We bit the offer, and honestly the wine was so delicious I started ordering glasses of it while others got cocktails (and then we ordered a bottle to share haha.) food was fun to pick out and send around the table. We tried a little of everything, it's been a month so my memory is a little fuzzy (also the wine) but from what I remember we got the Caesar, the carpaccio, the risotto, rillettes, carrots, arancini, the shrimp, and the chicken. I think our consensus was the barley risotto really surprised us and was our favorite, the rillettes in second. All of it was delicious, the shrimp was plump and large, and apparently the chicken flavors change periodically. The six of us racked up a nice bill but for the quality of food, the service, and the moody space with warm wood and dark stone, it was well worth the price tag. My single critique is that I wish we had been sat at a better table; six people in a booth is not comfy. A table with chairs would have been much more functional. Thankfully we were a good enough bunch to sit shoulder to shoulder but our own seats would be nice next time haha. When I'm back in Denver I'd definitely return, and I need the name of that wine! read more

After giving this spot another go, it's def gained a star in my eyes. I still totally stand by my previous statement that this is some of the best customer service in rino. They really provide excellent service. Pipè went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and he had the best recommendations. The mushroom risotto is hands-down the best thing on the entire menu. I would come back from for this dish alone! I think if you want a more romantic vibe, weeknights are the move! read more

Reservation at 8 and we were sat at 8:45. Respecting the time of your patrons goes a long way and a bottle of champagne doesn't make up for having 15 people stand around for 45 minutes. Our host booked weeks in advance, showed up early, and was told the table would be ready at 8. The party before us knew they had to be gone by 8 and they were. Great food and friendly staff. Systematic issues. read more

I love this place. Inside is super noisy, so I'd recommend the patio if weather permits. Service has been super friendly and attentive. Here's where I do the whole I've been to the island of Corsica. Actually used to spend summers there, so this place is bittersweet. The wine is fantastic as curated by adv somm Austin. All the things we've ordered: gigante beans (words don't explain my love for these), Tuna carpaccio (delic), meatballs (delic), cannelloni (this is extra because the cheese used is quintessentially Corsican), beef bavettes (the beef was tough but the sauce was amazing), fiadone (classic Corsican), and the almond cake are so effing delicious. I can't recommend enough. read more

The food was pretty good, I loved the cacio e pepe and the burrata toast. The tiramisu was fabulous!

Another great wine bar in Denver! So popular we had to get reservations weeks in advance. The line was out the door and even with reservations we had to wait a little for our table. Gorgeous establishment, although a little loud and hard to hear. Since they had just opened and they were so busy, the service was a little chaotic. We ordered drinks and a few different plates of food (not all pictured). Unfortunately the whipped ricotta toast got lost in the kitchen even after we checked on it a few times and when it came out it was slightly burnt but the flavor outside of that was amazing and it would have been our favorite dish. They ended up taking it off our bill which was kind. The manager came around a few times to ensure we were taken care of which I always appreciate. We'll definitely go back in a few months once it isn't as busy and they've had time to settle in! read more

Not sure where to even start - it was all fantastic. We chose our first visit to be on their Sunday 1/2 off bottles of wine! The atmosphere and ambiance is so quaint and inviting. The booths were very comfortable (never thought I would get excited about a booth) with a well-placed foot bar that made the seating more comfy than anyone would ever think. The hostess and our server were spot on and the manager was equally so. We had questioned the taste of a bottle of wine and without issue, they took it and opened another (Chateau Pipeau Bordeaux) right away. It was perfect. We also tried Pomme au Poivre, Wolfpack, Golden Hour Negroni, and Citron Sunrise.

Experience/Service: 5/5 Let. Me. Tell. You. Corsica ABSOLUTELY lives up to the hype. The ambiance is perfect. The lighting is low, the music is a perfect volume, and like Barcelona, it is tastefully decorated. Ambiance and decorations aside, the real star of the show was our waiter, Pipe, who literally made the dining experience 70000x better. His passion for the food, wine, and restaurant truly radiated from his body. His food recommendations, on point. His energy, on point. His wine recommendations, on point. If you are lucky enough to have him as your waiter, strap in because it's going to be an amazing experience. Taste: 5/5 The food was delicious. You simply HAVE to get the corn bread and the mushroom faro. The flavors were INSANE and the textures were divine. We really just ran with Pipe's recommendations and the dishes were hit, after hit, after hit. The almond cake is also fantastic (it's similar-ish to the olive oil cake at Barcelona). I cannot wait to come back. I cannot wait to try everything on the menu. And I cannot wait to have service of this caliber again. Welcome to RiNo, Corsica! With love, Cole read more
