Displaced restaurant hot spot finds new home in RiNo

The restaurant: The Fifth String at Attimo; 2246 Larimer St., Denver

About: Owner and chef Amos Watts closed The Fifth String’s previous location in LoHi last month. He told The Denver Post at the time that the kitchen was too big for the intimate eatery and he was already on the hunt for a smaller space. Watts quickly got in touch with Attimo owner Jon Schlegel, who’s also the founder of Snooze A.M. Eatery, through a mutual friend. Schlegel was looking for someone to take over the kitchen at Attimo and was a fan of Watts, who previously worked at acclaimed Colorado restaurants Corrida, Acorn and Old Major.

The new iteration of the restaurant will be a collaboration between Watts and Schlegel, like the many food concepts within local breweries.
