Denver International Airport (DEN) has announced the opening of the newest restaurant on Concourse B: Osteria Marco. The new food and beverage concept offers a chef-driven, artisan approach to Italian cuisine in a warm and inviting setting.
“We are delighted to welcome Osteria Marco by Chef Frank Bonanno, to DEN,” DEN CEO Phil Washington said. “We continue to elevate the offerings for our customers with popular local favorites to enhance their experience at DEN.”
Sixteen-time James Beard-nominated Chef Frank Bonanno is also the proprietor of Bonanno Concepts, a Denver-based restaurant group behind some of Colorado’s most celebrated dining destinations. He has launched flagship Mizuna, Italian favorite Luca d’Italia, Salita, Osteria Marco, Vesper Lounge, and, most recently, the groundbreaking Dumplin’, Denver’s first Italian Asian concept that pushes culinary boundaries through innovative techniques and bold flavor combinations.
“Skyport Hospitality, Osteria Marco’s operations partner at DEN, has hired more than 50 new team members for Chef Bonanno’s first airport location,” Skyport Hospitality CEO, David Mosteller said. “We’re proud to partner with Frank and his team. Osteria Marco brings a celebrated taste of downtown Denver to DEN travelers and an elevated dining destination to the Concourse B Mezzanine.”
Opened in 2007, Osteria Marco delivers fine dining quality with casual charm. Osteria Marco’s menu highlights handcrafted excellence— from burrata and salumi to hand-rolled pastas and wood-fired pizzas tossed to order. A dynamic wine list showcases diverse Italian terroirs, while craft cocktails are thoughtfully muddled and infused.
“Bringing Osteria Marco to Denver Airport feels like the perfect evolution for us,” Chef Frank Bonanno said. “We’ve created something special on Larimer Square, and now we get to share that same authentic Italian experience with travelers from around the world. There’s something magical about offering our hand-tossed pizzas to people beginning or ending their journey, it’s what real hospitality looks like.”
Osteria Marco is located on the mezzanine/Level 3 of Center Core of Concourse B.
