Wine cellar dining is an innovative restaurant concept involving a fine dining atmosphere in a wine cellar surrounded by bottles of vintage and expensive wines.

Add a menu of unforgettable Italian cuisine and you will surely enjoy not only the wine and food but also a memorable evening out. 3 Sons Italian Restaurant in Denver, Colorado is one restaurant with this dinning concept in mind featuring wine cellar dining for private rendezvous or small parties.

Italian cuisine has been around since the 4th century B.C. It has evolved through the centuries and has been considered by many to be soul food of Europe in part because of the different and familiar ingredients and age-old recipes that most folks have grown to love. These ingredients include potatoes, tomatoes, bell peppers, cheese, coffee, and maize, among many others. In addition, most of these ingredients included in Italian cuisine recipes are perfect pairings for wine.

Italian wine cellar dining obviously has Italian origins, but in the United States, this kind of restaurant has been around since the 19th century. Some of the first Italian wine cellar dining restaurants can be found in Chicago and New York City. At first, only about 10 guests could be accommodated at a time and not until 1996 did wine cellars diners reconfigured their dining rooms to entertain groups upwards of 20 people or more.

The limited number of people being accommodated in wine cellar dining is an important factor in preserving the intimate ambiance of this venue. This private and cozy ambiance adds to the popularity and exclusivity of wine cellar dining. To be enclosed in a cool place surrounded with the aroma of food and wine paired with the atmosphere of vintage bottles of delicious wines is sure to put anyone in a cozy or romantic mood.  A menu of unforgettable Italian cuisine as featured at 3 Sons Italian Restaurant’s website www.threesons.net is sure to keep wine cellar dining guests coming back for more.
