"Ristorante del Lago and Bar del Lago offer our guests
an additional dining choice that delves into the various
regions of Italy while adding diversity to our food and bever-
age program," says C.W. Craig Reed, director of food and
beverage. "Ristorante del Lago translates to mean 'restaurant
on the lake' to refect its stunning location overlooking our
beautiful Cheyenne Lake with outstanding alfresco dining
and views. In addition to our resort guests, we are also very
fortunate to have a strong local following, so our presenting
something new to them was very important."
Developing and Implementing the Concept
"In developing Ristorante del Lago and Bar del Lago,
we asked Adam D. Tihany [founder and owner of Tihany
Design] to create the feeling of a Lake Como villa, using
reclaimed and authentic materials wherever possible —
and he delivered," says Steve Bartolin, Broadmoor's chair-
man. "Even the tiles on the patio were reclaimed from a
130-year-old Tuscan villa."
Guests enter Ristorante del Lago and Bar del Lago from
inside and outside Broadmoor West. "The restaurant conveys
a warm environment with rustic materials such as exposed
wood beams, custom walnut millwork, terra-cotta tile,
facility design
