The upscale Italian restaurant Il Posto is closing after a 17-year run.
The final service at the restaurant at 2601 Larimer St. will be on Saturday, Feb. 24, Director of Operations Tyler Gallup told BusinessDen.
Il Posto opened in 2007 at 2011 E. 17th Ave. in City Park West. The restaurant moved to its current location in RiNo in 2017. It has been most known for its burrata, an Italian cheese, and pappardelle, a broad flat pasta served with pork ragu.

Gallup said the restaurant is owned by Ken Wolf, who formerly owned its RiNo property, along with Chef Andrea Frizzi and one other investor.
Gallup said Frizzi is exiting the business to focus on his other concepts, which include Vero in the nearby Denver Central Market. He said the remaining owners are looking at remodeling and debuting a new concept in Il Posto’s space, which is owned by the real estate firm Edens. That concept would likely feature more “approachable” menu prices.
“RiNo is just a tough spot right now,” said Gallup, who’s been at Il Posto nearly five years. “It’s not looking for that upper-class, fine-dining style right now.”
