Tony's Market is a well known popular market in the south Denver area where you can shop for those gourmet cheeses, fine meats, specialty prepared foods and deserts, imported foods, fresh seafood, produce, gift baskets, baked goods, gourmet coffee and candy and giftware. Anyone new to the Denver area, quickly learns about Tony's.
Tony's was started in 1978 by Tony Rosacci. His three children have helped all along the way to make this a great company with 3 locations now in the Denver area. It started as a meat market and quickly became very popular for their completely natural meats. Because of Tony's desire to please they began to offer more than meats and have continued to add other products through the years.
Tony's also has a wonderful catering departement. They cater everything from the smallest event to huge events at some of the largest locations such as Phipps Mansion and Butterfly Pavillion. They work with you to create the party that you want with suggestions for menus and themes. Lissa Rosacci, one of the 3 children, is an expert in decor and will help you to develop your event decor.
Mick, another of those children, is the chef who creates recipes, teaches nutrition, contributes to the weekly newsletter of Tony's Market called "Buon Appetito" and appears on a special section of Channel 7 News on Sundays at 7 and 10 am where he shares great ideas for meals.
Tony's now also has a wine market called Tony's Wines. It is a separate store because of liquor laws. The one I shop is just outside the market side door on Dry Creek. There they will help you with suggestions for wines. They have always hit the mark on what I am looking for. They personally taste each wine before they sell it. If it does not meet their approval, they don't sell it.
All of these things make Tony's Meats stand out as a superior place to shop, but there is more to Tony's than these. Tony's also sponsors a cooking school and culinary exploration trips.
I have found Tony's Meats and Wines a great place to get a gift basket -- if you want both wine and food in your basket. You must buy any food items at Tony's Market and then buy your wine at Tony's Wines. Both the market or the wine shop carry a variety of baskets from which you can pick the appropriate one for you special person and then either shop can build your basket, shrink wrap it and add a bow. The charge for this, in my case, was only $10 for basket, wrap, bow and "building." You can get a great basket for giving on any special occasion like housewarmngs, graduations, promotions, anniversaries, new job or just "Thank You."
