I started with the burrata appetizer, which had beautiful flavors with the beets and citrus. It was absolutely delicious. For my main dish, I had the risotto, which was rich and perfectly cooked, topped with a poached egg that made it even more indulgent. Dessert was incredible. The lime tart cake was fresh, flavorful, and the perfect way to end the meal. The overall vibe was warm and inviting, making it a really enjoyable brunch experience. Our server was on top of everything which was wonderful.

Fortezza is a new restaurant in quant Niwot. It over packs its punch. This little restaurant was…read moreabsolutely amazing. Definitely more of fine dining than your casual Italian food. It is a treat to have. Few places in northern Colorado can compare to the quality of food. I think it is on the level of Frasca and Flagstaff House for premier dining. We ordered from every part of the menu and were blown away how great the food was. The drinks were exceptional from the cocktail menu. We ordered a bottle of wine that will become part of our wine racks at home. Finally refreshing to find a restaurant that was actually worth the price. It may be off putting for some who come to an Italian restaurant wanting spaghetti and pizza. This is Italian fine dining. Unless you go to Italy or farm to table restaurants much of the description of food you won't understand. So trust the process and the chefs. The servers explain the menu and what they recommend for best bites. Just go with it and you will not be disappointed. This is Italian. You do get all of your food right away. It's an experience. Italians take hours for their meals (not every day like Americans generally think) so don't expect to be in and out in less than an hour. Enjoy it. It's expensive. But in the age of restaurant prices skyrocketing, you can easily go to a mediocre restaurant and still spend 150 dollars for subpar food that is not worth it (most of Colorado food). Here, you get presentations and tastes you cannot make on your own or experience often. So you pay for this. It's a treat.

Our server didn't seem too happy that we showed up today, the food took about 30 minutes to get to us and the fried pickles and the Cuban weren't very yummy, we didn't finish either. Disappointing. However the French fries WERE very yummy! And the wrap was unique and pretty good. It's a large space and it was easy to find a seat. The artwork is beautiful. Luckily we found street parking so that was easy too. It's a cash only restaurant (or local personal checks) and while it wasn't a problem, we had cash, we probably wouldn't have come here had we known that beforehand.

We also ordered a cup of their Gumbo to try. Incredibly tasty!!

Cane Picante and Pollo de Chorizo Empanadas (4/5) - flaky and crispy, the filling is very full. Not overly spicy, but definitely got a little kick from the spices (slightly salty, maybe I should've ordered one spicy and one traditional instead). Milanesa de Carne (3/5) - I got a half order, the portion is pretty big, the bread was pretty good, but the breaded steak was pretty dry. Overall the sandwich tasted pretty bland without added chimichurri sauce. Choripan (2/5) - the lettuce in this sandwich looked very sad, also the sausage (cut in halves) was so small, half the sandwich was empty. Would not recommend. I would recommend the empanadas, but no more sandwiches for me.
