Tucked into the east end of Boulder’s Pearl Street Mall is Trattoria on Pearl (formerly Trattoria Girasole). Sara and Guillermo Casarrubias are pleased to announce their purchase of the intimate restaurant and gathering place on May 31, 2005 and to introduce their magnificent chef, Daniel Cofrades, to the Boulder community.

Guests at the Trattoria, which means neighborhood Italian café, will notice differences in the restaurant right away. The grand reopening features a new menu of modern Italian cuisine complemented by a popular assortment of delectable, ever-changing specials.

The new ownership also marks the first time a professionally trained chef has been on hand to supervise the kitchen on a daily basis. Each plate must pass muster with Daniel before it leaves his kitchen. The chef’s personal flair for culinary artistry and his uncompromising good taste are consistently evident in each succulent creation.

Trattoria on Pearl is open daily from 11:30 a.m. – 10:00 p.m.
