Denver's Olivea restaurant

Last Friday I had the pleasure of dining out at Olivea on 17th St. This restaurant opened after my Moon Denver guidebook came out in spring 2009, but I am certainly going to include this place in my next edition. Overall I say it was pretty fantastic. Simple and sophisticated i decor, food and staff. Really enjoyed the fava bean crostini--one of many small plates that can be had for only $5 at the bar--and the ravioli was scrumptious, followed by a tasty panna cotta with berries. I went with a girlfriend and now hope to go back for a date night with hubby.
