    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.
