Beautiful little Mizuna is consistently rated among the best dining experiences in the country. A neighborhood eatery firmly rooted in French cooking techniques, Mizuna aims to marry tight, professional service with culinary mastery. With a menu that changes monthly to reflect the bounty of each season (on land and by sea), Mizuna is the flagship restaurant to Bonanno Concepts, Frank Bonanno’s chef driven restaurant family, dedicated to satisfying meals, outstanding service, education, and community.

Where skilled cooks are encouraged to stretch the limits of their palates and broaden their understanding of ingredients both local and exotic.


Though Mizuna’s solely open for dinner, our chefs start their days with the sun—creating rich stocks from farm raised meats and wild fishes, kneading yeasty doughs, slicing the juicy hearts of ripe vegetables, spinning fresh ice creams. They taste and select cheeses, herbs and produce from local vendors like The Truffle, Verde Growing and Mountain Produce.


Mizuna chefs collaborate to change the menu every month and each item on that menu is a thoughtful representation of the passion of the chef who created it—the expression of a talented palate committed to simple yet intense flavors and aromas, creating a truly unique tasting menu experience in Denver. Come; see what the season has to offer.

Cooking started at a young age out of necessity for Jasinski. Growing up in a single-parent household with two siblings who all took turns cooking, Jasinski developed a knack for following recipes and creating her own, until eventually, it was always her turn to cook.
