What does Pagosa Springs, Colorado get when two gentlemen who love food, an Italian Chef, a casually elegant atmosphere, great coffee and mouth-watering cuisine are combined with a vision of excellence? La Tazza's Espresso Bar & Cafe!
La Tazza is Pagosa’s newest addition to the food scene. It is a place to start the day with a gourmet cup of coffee and light breakfast or end the day with a healthy meal (accompanied by live music three nights a week).
Morgan Murri and Michael McTeigue, the owners of La Tazza, saw a need for a gathering place for people to meet and eat. They wanted to create a place where they would enjoy hanging out and so they developed the concept of creating a coffee house to serve a broad spectrum of Pagosa’s residents.
Then, Chef Fabrizio Ventricini, a chef from Rome, appeared out of the blue and La Tazza went from ‘coffee house with light lunch’ to ‘Full Restaurant’. While the range of service changed the original concept remained. Build a place where they would want to hang out; have a casual atmosphere; operate with excellence in service, food and coffee. Murri stated, “We take coffee and everything we serve at La Tazza both seriously and personally. Our Coffee is just the start of a great day of eating and living.”
A trip to La Tazza’s for any meal will leave your mouth watering for more. Whatever time of the day you stop by you will find the perfect meal -- a house-baked pastry for breakfast along with a great cup of World Class coffee; a bowl of house-made soup or sandwich for lunch; or a full course meal of Mediterranean food with strong Italian influences in the evening followed by desert and coffee. The wonderful food, casual atmosphere and friendly staff provide a relaxing treat for all your senses.
La Tazza’s mission statement: To offer healthy delicious food in a friendly atmosphere that facilitates community and gathering by offering excellent ingredients prepared with care and served with love and respect, for our customers, our staff, our community and our environment.
Oh! When you go to La Tazza’s for dinner, be sure to try the tiramisu. Hand baked by Chef Fabrizio, each bite of this heavenly concoction will have waves of wonder flooding through your mouth. |
