"A Hidden Gem on the Road to the Mountains Zuccaro’s KitchenReview:After an active day in Breckenridge, my wife and I were on the hunt for a gluten free dining option on our way back to Colorado Springs. We stumbled upon Zuccaro’s Kitchen in Hartsel, a quaint 'one horse ' town nestled between the hustle of city life and the serene ski resorts of the mountains. The town, with its modest offerings, set a humble backdrop for what was to be an unexpectedly delightful culinary experience.The rave reviews we had read were not overstated. Zuccaro 's Kitchen is a gem that shines brightly in its simplicity and quality. My wife opted for the gluten free Vito pizza, and it was a revelation. The cartoon cooked cauliflower crust struck the perfect balance between crispy and chewy, a rare feat for gluten free alternatives. The toppings were a symphony of flavors, well spiced and fresh, making every bite a joyous adventure for the taste buds. She was beyond pleased!I indulged in a toasted Italian hoagie, and it was nothing short of perfection. Packed with a generous portion of meats and veggies, and drizzled with a tangy dressing, it hit all the right notes. The bread, toasted to crispy excellence, enveloped the fillings in a warm embrace, creating a delightful crunch that resonated with satisfaction.The service at Zuccaro 's Kitchen added another layer to the already fantastic experience. Prompt, personable, and profoundly knowledgeable about the menu, our server made us feel right at home. It was a treat to be amongst the locals, sharing in their stories and laughter, all while enjoying the communal spirit over football and a beer or two.Zuccaro 's Kitchen is more than just a restaurant; it 's a heartwarming experience wrapped in the coziness of Hartsel. We are already looking forward to our next journey through the area, as Zuccaro 's will undoubtedly be a recurring highlight. A heartfelt thank you to the team at Zuccaro 's for making our post adventure meal so memorable. See you again soon!Dietary restrictions: Gluten less options made it a joy for my wife!!"
