Acova is writing the next chapter of one of Denver’s great neighborhoods. An iconic locale in a historic district, Acova builds on the rich story of “The Northside” (now known as LoHi) by breathing new life into an address with soul. Even its name pays homage to its South Broadway sibling restaurant The Hornet, while tipping a cap to its storied Italian predecessor Patsy’s. The place you bring friends and family from out of town to show them what Denver’s all about. The place you go for that after work cocktail, or your go to date spot, whether it’s your first or 50th date. The place you get the group together on a Saturday night, and where you recover together on a Sunday morning. Acova is the next Highlands institution, bearing vintage flair and contemporary charm that threads the past into the future. Acova brings you back time and again because you are part of this story now, and Acova is part of yours.

Great Italian place in Denver, with some unique twists on dishes (duck confit pasta, bison ragu). Staff was friendly and service was quick. It’s a small space, though, so reservations are definitely recommended and it can get a little noisy.

The service was spot on; our food came out quickly and everything was well executed. The fish and chips were particularly delicious the fish really fresh, the fries and the coating crisp without being oily. Nice wine by the glass selection especially fun to have some good interesting whites. The dessert menu is probably the best value in Denver. Will definitely eat there again.

We ordered the Pro Flight of bacon and Pancake Flight, so we sampled a lot of things. Our favorites were candied bacon, nacho bacon, carrot cake pancake, and s’mores pancake. I also got the Red Eye Bloody Mary flight which was a little spicy to me, interesting combinations but overall flavors were terrific. The bartender was fantastic and very kind, it was a pleasure “hanging out” with her. Everything here was amazing!
