This journey began in defense of the maker, those that bring to light from darkness, an idea. Our inspiration comes from memory, of travels we’ve taken - it is the thread that helps us bind our creation. Wolf’s is the laboratory where inspiration turns to creation, creation is stitched into a form that when examined takes guests on the creators' journey of exploration. But the quest to create comes not for the supplication of an audience, but for the continual introspective pursuit of pushing the boundaries of what we know as possible.

    Our experience at Alma Fonda Fina was 5+ Stars! Hands down one of the best food experiences we’ve had in Denver and we’ve lived here since 2007! The service was amazing, ambience was perfect, the food was insanely delicious, the drinks were out of this world! We booked our next reservation before walking out the door and we cannot wait to go back!

    Food was one of the best we have had in quite awhile. The octopus appetizer was delicious. Steaks were excellent and the service very friendly. Noise level was very high. We had difficulty having a conversation. The music could be turned down a bit. We will definitely go back but will request a booth or a table where it’s not as noisy.

    Outstanding. The food was fantastic, but the service was even better! We have been wanting to dine at Tavernetta for years and finally made it for our anniversary. Every single team member we interacted with ( which was at least 7 or 8 people) wished us Happy Anniversary - something so simple was so impressive and notable. The food was wonderful - the presentation and flavors were spot on. I can not wait to go back!
