It also happens to be the asian area of Denver too if you're looking for asian food. (which I probably wouldn't suggest since you'll be sorely disappointed)
Actually, if you're into bison (buffalo) burgers, Teds which is across the road has probably the best bison burgers I've ever tasted. I always head over there every time I'm in Denver.
If you're there for a couple of days and want some suggestions, let me know. I lived there for 5 years and know the area pretty well.

Shoot wish I had seen this earlier, but have been so busy with work, I didn't come on till now and I fly back to Vancouver tomorrow.
I've been eating my breakfasts at Cooks Fresh Market on the 16th street promenade, they make a great Smoked Salmon bagel sandwich with cream cheese, lettuce, tomato and capers. Their Green Chile and Egg White burrito was also really good. Sort of has a Whole Foods deli type feel to the place. Overall 8.5/10
Went to Maggiano's for dinner tonight. I know its not authentic Italian food but it was still good for what I was expecting. Had the Lobster Ravioli and their wine list was quite nice. The service was great for such a busy night. 7.5/10
Denver also has a ton of street food, not as much as Portland, but it is more established than Vancouver's recent humble beginnings.
