Best Authentic Restaurants in Central

Absolutely incredible all around. The restaurant itself is very cute. The food is vibrant and exciting. Every bite is a journey you won’t forget. The staff’s humble expertise shows through in the flavors and their love for the food. The chef’s table is quite a treat to sit at as it feels more intimate and special. If you’re looking for a fantastic experience all around this is the place to go. It feels like a quintessential Denver stop if you’re looking for the finest dining. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience and hospitality as my wife and I celebrated our anniversary. We will definitely be back.

Spectacular service and inspired, delicious food Four of us dined at Tavernetta and shared everything, Everything was delectable, and here are a few of our favorites. The ravioli - melted in your mouth Pasta al forno - was gnocchi baked with several different cheese, a treat that was both light and had substance Bronzino - beautifully presented and cooked perfectly The service was sooo good - wait staff described dishes with complete food and preparation knowedge, and steered us to the right number of dishes to order. All the servers were gracious, personable, and always available without hovering. We will definitely be back.

Despite a 30 minute delay on our reservation due to a kitchen issue during the Valentines Day rush, we were met with amazing service at every turn. Our server at the bar tag teamed the wine pairing skillfully while the bartender was also very attentive. Food was good to great during the prix fixe menu with only a miss on 1 dessert - olive cake was dry. Pasta, burrata, fish and beef were all great. Will return to hit the regular menu for sure.

Caveat: it was St. Valentine's Day and we would definitely go back .... we arrived for our 445 pm reservation, got to choose our own seat (as there were only a few others in the restaurant at that time), and had our order taken almost immediately. Server was terrific. Food was amazing and served very quickly. Then the restaurant filled up and we waited and waited to see our server again. When we finally did (40+ min later), we ordered more food and drinks, yet those took close to an hour to arrive. There were many tables around us -- all filled -- either waiting to place their initial order or waiting to get their check. Throughout this, the line at the door backed up and up and up. Have to say, round two of the food and drinks was just as amazing and the server was very apologetic and gracious. She even dropped off a few shots of tequila as a gift. Overall, the food was great, the staff - although overwhelmed - was gracious. As I said at the outset, we would definitely go back.

Grant was AWESOME!!!!!!!! Best server we’ve ever had dining out. Thanks for making our Valentine’s Day so special. Your energy was genuine and much appreciated! The lamb pasta put me straight to sleep soon as we arrived home.. a young lady came to check on us towards the end and held the door for us on our way out which really was the cherry on top. Thanks again! We look forward to visiting y'all again!
