It’s been nine long months since The Squeaky Bean closed. That’s nine months of experiencing the cavernous Bingo Brunch-less void plaguing downtown, not to mention the sleepless nights wondering what, exactly, could ever replace the Bean.
But sleep easy, dear readers — we now know what is moving into Squeaky’s space. Chow Morso, the casual Italian eatery by the Barolo Grill owners (currently in restaurant incubator Avanti Food & Beverage), will open inside the historic Saddlery building.
The brick-and-mortar Chow Morso — called Chow Morso Osteria — will feature an expanded menu of fresh-made pastas, salads, appetizers and desserts. Chef Darrel Truett will split his time between Chow Morso Osteria and Barolo Grill as culinary executive director.
“Chow Morso was developed to bring Barolo Grill’s high-quality foods into a more casual environment in another zip code,” Barolo founder Ryan Fletter said. “We love the history of the old Saddlery building and how close it is to Union Station and all the businesses in the area. The 4,000 square-foot space allows us to roll-out a much larger menu than we had at Avanti and show Denver what Chow Morso Osteria is all about.”
The new Chow Morso will open this summer in the Bean space, and it will remain at Avanti until at least the end of October.
