Tavernetta

The atmosphere here is great very modern and contemporary. Service was high class as expected for what you are paying for. The food here was good but not the greatest for the price but the dessert here is delicious especially their gelato. They also have tons of wine selection and the one I was recommended was delicious. If you are looking for fancy date night coming here is a good choice if you like Italian food other than that I would look at other places.

Lovely restaurant with professional staff and delicious food. Very celiac friendly, they had plenty of gluten free options to choose from, including gluten free pasta. The lamb ragu was delicious and they had gluten free focacia. Scallops were delicious but the grapefruit didn't make sense in the dish. I did notice though that my gluten free pasta was a slightly smaller portion with less sauce than the same non-gf pasta dish. I would definitely return though (and I did!).

From the moment we walked in the restaurant the environment was wonderful. We had a reservation but ended up being stuck in traffic and was late, but Caitlin the hostess was amazing and sweet and was able to keep our reservation in the rotation. Caroline took us to our table and made sure we were taken care of, she was very friendly and sweet. Our server Ryan was awesome, fun to talk to, professional and knowledgeable about the menu. He offered great recommendations and tips on ordering. For drinks we tried were Tavernetta paloma, espresso martini, old fashioned and Late for the train. The drinks were well crafted and tasted fabulous. We tried the pasta flight, the focaccia bread, and calamari. The carbonara was my favorite pasta with the hint of yoke flavor that is missing in most carbonaras I've tried at other restaurants. The calamari was tender and I ky lightly breaded in an extremely delicate batter that flakes when you bite into it. For dessert we had their in house made tiramisu with a hint of sea salt which tasted like heaven and the affogato which was equally delicious. The only thing I would recommend is offering pistachio gelato as an option for the affogato. Service was excellent all the way through and was also quick as we were trying to get to the night's Avs game. I would highly recommend this restaurant and I definitely plan to return and try other different authentic dishes on the menu.

Tavernetta was worth the stop on our trip to Denver. Top notch service, clean table, filled waters, fresh silverware between courses. Friendly staff. Got the Focaccia, Burrata, Lamb Ragu and Lobster tagliatelle and Tiramisu. My Fiance and I enjoyed it all. Also the open kitchens are really cool. Bib gourmet for a reason.
