Our dumpling bracket is down to the Final Four. Two momo shops, a dim sum giant and a dumpling powerhouse remain in the running. One of them will be named as having the best dumplings in the Denver metro, as decided by Denver Post readers and voters in our online poll.

Make your picks for what restaurant should advance to the final contest. With previous rounds bringing in hundreds upon hundreds of votes, we expect the dumpling lovers to rally even harder in support of their favorite locale.

Boombots Pasta Shop

A totally different experience from its sister concept, the more breakfast-minded Odie B's, Boombots Pasta Shop opened last year with a strong, creative selection of pasta dishes and other savory delights. (Not pictured: Twinkie-sized mozzarella sticks.) Owners Cliff and Cara Blauvelt took their time solidifying this menu, and their risks come with big payoffs. The Everything Seasoned Cavatelli Stroganoff ($19 for a single or $36 for a shared portion), with porcini pasta, pearl onion agrodolce, braised beef and pickled mustard seeds, raised my expectations of hearty Italian-American fare in Denver.
