May 2013
BEST OF THE SPRINGS. Thank you to all our customers who voted TAPAteria Best of The Springs 2013 for Paella (Gold), Wheat-free Dining (Silver) and Gluten-free Dining (Bronze).
PIZZERIA RUSTICA FEATURED AS ONE OF THE GREENEST RESTAURANTS. The Daily Meal featured Pizzeria Rustica as number 4 in its slideshow of America's Greenest Restaurants of 2013. There are some other great ones - check them out in your travels.
ART WALK IN OCC. Artwalk is on in OCC Fri, May 3rd and through the first weekend of each month until the end of the year. Artwalk makes the first Fridays exceedingly busy so please be sure to call ahead at both restaurants as seating is limited and almost always full on weekends.
MOTHERS DAY. Be sure to reserve early for Mothers Day Sunday, May 12. Both restaurants will be taking reservations. Pizzeria Rustica will be open 12-9pm and TAPAteria will be open 1-7pm.
TERRITORY DAYS. It's that time again - Territory Days will close Colorado Ave from 24th-27th St Sat, May 25 through Mon, May 27. Pizzeria Rustica will be serving on the patio as well as slices from the Rusticater trailered oven and TAPAteria will also be open. Old Colorado City is packed so be sure to call ahead for seating and allow extra time for parking. If you want to avoid parking hassles there is a shuttle from Coronado High School.
FREE DINNERS. This month the winners for a free dinner for two from our comments card drawing are : Tami Onstad for Pizzeria Rustica and Jennifer Duesterdick for TAPAteria. |

PIZZERIA RUSTICA NEWS:
WINE DINNERS SUSPENDED FOR SUMMER. We sold out a great Vino dei Fratelli dinner dinner Apr 23rd and raised $800 for CASA, but we're taking a time out on wine dinners for the season. Next will be our much-anticipated Mezzacorona Teroldego vertical tasting dinner Tues, Sept 17th.
DESIGN YOUR OWN GELATO. Thank you for all your great gelato flavor submissions. The winner of the gelato contest is Denise Martinez with the winning flavor of orange vanilla bean (think Creamsicle) which will be super for summer. Glacier Ice Cream & Gelato will have it ready this month. Congratulations denise - you win a free gelato every month from May to December.
WINE WEDNESDAYS. Wine Wednesdays are back! Come in and enjoy 50% off select bottles every Wednesday and $5 glasses from open bottles (cannot be combined with other discounts).
SUMMER HOURS. We have been enjoying the patio on fine days for a few weeks now and after a cold snap Wednesday it looks like we will be solidly into patio time for lunches and on warmer evenings. Summer hours begin on Tuesday, May 14th - open 12-9pm Tuesdays through Sundays and closed Mondays. We expect to keep summer hours until mid-September so enjoy those weekday lunches - great for business lunches or meeting up with friends.
