Cheap Places to Eat in Highlands Ranch

"The fact that this fast-casual pie parlor was founded by the guys behind Frasca Food & Wine makes its price point all the more surprising: From the famous Mais with ham, corn, and crème fraîche to the Supreme with pepperoni, sausage, onions, and peppers, not one 11-inch option cracks the $10 mark, and on Mondays, Margherita pizzas go for $5. (Three other locations in the Highlands, Central Park, and Hale spread the wealth.)"

"This popular Chinese restaurant is always busy with loyal customers seeking to indulge in what is said to be the best dim sum and seafood dishes in town. Don’t let the strip mall location deceive you, because once you enter, you’re greeted with the smell of fresh dim sum at Denver’s best dim sum place. Don’t believe the hype?"

"This sprawling dining room is a party during weekend brunch, with dim sum carts rolling out small plates of traditional Chinese cakes, buns, dumplings and noodles. It’s best experienced with a group for optimal tasting and sharing."

"Nobu Matsuhisa, one of the world’s most sought after sultans of sushi and sashimi, recently opened a Denver outpost of his New York-based flagship. The Cherry Creek showstopper, tricked out with stone accents, reclaimed teak, Japanese cut-out screens and a 14-seat sushi bar, parades beautifully displayed slivers of fresh fish, coupled with five styles of Wagyu beef preparations, lobster tacos, lamb chops, noodles and more. The voluminous wine list is nothing short of epic."

"When none other than world-renowned chef Nobu Matushisa brought his brand of luxe Japanese cuisine to Cherry Creek, the hype was huge and the reviews were rave. Both continue to be earned: Against a hip, loungelike backdrop, the splurges keep coming — among them uni shooters, crab-claw or rock-shrimp tempura, and Nobu’s famous new-style sashimi as well as a sushi selection ranging from abalone nigiri to yellowtail-okra rolls."

"This Speer neighborhood restaurant may be more than halfway into its fourth decade, but based on the 30-minute-plus wait you’re likely to face on any given night, it’s got another four in it (not to mention a new-ish sibling in Littleton, attached to Carboy winery, that opened in 2016). A maze-like floor plan and stained-glass windows give it a charming, well-worn quality, while the menu marries a classic oyster bar with a neighborhood Italian joint. Once you’ve had your fill of bivalves—raw on the half-shell or char-grilled and topped with garlic, butter, and Pecorino cheese (among other options)—you can move onto pizzas and pastas, all of which are made from scratch daily."

"Homemade pappardelle pasta with cream and parmesan cheese—the Pappardelle Bolognese from Angelo’s is an actual slice of heaven. No matter what we’re in the mood for, we’ll never say no to this im-pasta-bly delicious dish."
