Parisi is a fast-casual Italian restaurant that makes 17 different paninis but they are only available for lunch from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Whether you're a meat-lover or vegetarian, one of Parisi's decadent paninis will sate your appetite. From more traditional paninis such as the Salciccia E Pepperonta (grilled sausage and peppers on a toasted baguette roll), to the less conventional, like the Firenze (roasted turkey, avocado, salsa verde, grilled peppers, lettuce, tomato), Parisi has created a fantastic variety to taste. Enjoy your panini lunch on Parisi's outdoor patio during a beautiful Denver day. In the colder months, order a cup of truffle mashed potato soup to accompany your sandwich.

Start your morning off with a Hero Panini (fried eggs, capicola ham, bacon, roasted peppers, and mozzarella).
