Pueblo’s food identity is unmistakable: green chiles, Italian heritage, and hearty plates that reflect the city’s steel-town grit and hospitality.
These picks showcase the flavors Pueblo does best.
Gray’s Coors Tavern
Home of the legendary Pueblo slopper, Gray’s is a must.
This messy, glorious creation—an open-faced burger smothered in green chile and cheese—captures Pueblo on a plate.
The vibe is casual and historic, the fries are perfect for extra chile, and the cold beer rounds it out. It’s not fancy; it’s iconic.
La Forchetta da Massi
A downtown favorite for scratch-made Italian, La Forchetta delivers handmade pastas, balanced sauces, and warm service.
The pappardelle with braised ragu is soulful, cacio e pepe is silky and peppery, and seasonal specials keep regulars engaged. It’s intimate, date-night friendly, and consistently excellent.
Pass Key Restaurant
Another Pueblo institution, Pass Key is known for its signature sausage sandwiches—grilled, garlicky, and deeply satisfying.
Load it up with peppers, onions, and cheese, grab a side of fries, and enjoy the old-school diner atmosphere.
It’s simple, fast, and very Pueblo.
Musso’s Italian Market & Deli
Part deli, part market, Musso’s is the spot for stacked sandwiches, cured meats, and grab-and-go Italian staples.
The meatball sub and Italian combo are favorites, and the house-baked goods make easy treats.
Stop by for lunch, then take home imported pantry items to keep the vibe going.
Angela’s Kitchen
Angela’s blends New American comfort with Italian touches—think roasted chicken with pan jus, seafood pastas, and vibrant salads.
The dining room is cozy, service is warm, and the menu is approachable without being predictable. It’s a great pick when you want a relaxed but special-feeling dinner.
