A new high-end steakhouse called La Rocca Rossa is poised to open sometime this summer in the heart of Morrison, according to Colorado Community Media. Longtime restaurateurs Tiffani Packer and Chef Rand G. Packer are working hard to get the property at 209 Bear Creek Ave. ready for business.
The eatery is taking over the former Café Prague space. It will have an elevated dining menu, serving wood-fired meats and seasonal housemade pastas. La Rocca Rossa — which translates to “the red rock” — will also reportedly have a robust wine list.
In addition to Evoke 1923, the Packers have their hand in a number of other culinary ventures. In Evergreen, they also operate a seasonally-driven, globally-inspired restaurant called Evoke 1923, eateries Murphy’s Mountain Grill, Muddy Buck Cafe, and Kiki’s Fresh Bowls, and the Espresso Evergreen coffee shop. They also run Mekenita Cantina, a Mexican fusion spot in Tampa, Florida.
The Morrison Town Board voted unanimously to approve the restaurant’s liquor license at its June 3 hearing. Public notice records show the official application was submitted May 1.
Was a diner at the Cafe Progue since it first opened. Anxious to be at a New Opening.
