“This Must be the Place”What's a Wolf Peach, you say? Well, it’s an interesting story.What we know today as the tomato was first grown as a crop by the Aztec Indians. Spanish explorers brought the tomato back to Europe in the early 1500s.In England and Germany, they were initially regarded as ornamental, but poisonous, a “wolf peach”. This is because aristocrats experimented with the tomato, but it ended badly—not due to the fruit, but because it was eaten on pewter dishes. Apparently, acids in the tomato leached the highly toxic lead in the pewter dishes, and caused illness and even death in many cases. The “common” folk, however, typically ate on wooden dishes, and had no problem!Wolf Peach is a place for all of us regular folks. A little uncommon, a little unexpected, a little special. A place for everyone and anyone to enjoy a good hearty meal, scratch-made from Chef Jason Okurowski.Friday and Saturday evenings will not accomodate parties of larger than 8.

    Had a very nice pre-concert dinner. The daily seasonal menu was outstanding- thoroughly enjoyed the bok choi/asparagus salad and the preserved lemon butter ravioli- paired beautifully with a glass of Fiano as suggested by none other than Chef Paul himself. We’ve enjoyed several dinners at Coperta over the years- during all seasons of the year. Have always found it an inviting, fun neighborhood restaurant that has never disappointed with its offerings- no matter what our mood or cravings have been. So glad it’s still available as a delicious/accessible option in Denver and hope it continues to be appreciated and discovered.

    Magna Kainan is always a good time. While this visit was only my wife and I, the food and ambiance are even better for a group of four or larger! It’s more difficult to try all the food when it’s just the 2 of us.

    We had dinner here to celebrate my son’s birthday. The menu is fun and had a good variety without having too much to choose from. The food was outstanding. We all chose something different and everyone loved what they chose. The drinks were flowing and the vibe was perfect for his celebration. Our waiter and the restaurant manager were so great to us and really helped us celebrate this milestone birthday. We will definitely be coming back over and over again.
