The sprouts are tossed in lemon and a balsamic reduction and topped with shaved Parmesan cheese. It\u2019s an item that might surprise some who are less inclined to eat their vegetables.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from the restaurant\u2019s pizza and signature Italian dishes, Sauce on the Blue has an extensive selection of alcoholic drinks to choose from. There are more than 150 whiskeys available at the bar (including a specially-crafted Woodford barrel-aged bourbon) and a selection of more than 100 wines.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve become a family-friendly place that people gravitate toward,\u201d Applegate said.<\/p>\n<p>Sauce on the Blue is at 358 Blue River Parkway No. H in Silverthorne.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/news\/best-italian-restaurant-sauce-on-the-blue\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Summit Daily<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since opening in 2016, Sauce on the Blue in Silverthorne quickly has become a favorite for locals and visitors.
