The eatery at 123 E. Pikes Peak Ave. will fuse Italian food heritage with the spirit of the Rockies while also bringing “a taste of Oregon flavors to the table too,” interim executive chef Tyler Weeks said.

Charlie Dolan is the co-owner and executive chef of the new restaurant Harding on Main, 605 Main St., Cañon City. The eatery opened in March with a fresh, upscale look, tantalizing global menu and sold-out reservations for those eager to try the newest eatery in town. The restaurant’s name is from the historic 1800s Harding Building, which has its roots in the Harding family of Cañon City, who were well-known for the Harding Hardware Co..
