Enoteca (n.) – an Italian word which literally means ”wine repository” but is also used for wine shops, restaurants, wine bars, and wine “libraries.”

We offer classic Italian snacks, appetizers, antipasti & drinks before your pizza dining experience as well as desserts, digestifs & coffees after. Experience two venues during one dinner in Old Colorado City. “Double your date night pleasure.”

Our cozy north room facing the street is available for your private event, business lunch, or meeting. We offer customized food and drink options and can accommodate up to 24 people for sit-down service or 40 for a mix & mingle buffet-style reception.  For more information on rates or to book Enoteca Rustica please e-mail us at info@PizzeriaRustica.com
