Tavernetta Denver Reviews
5 Star Dining Experience
Exceptional food and service! Our pasta dinners were amazing. The staff members were absolutely flawless. The sommelier was knowledgeable and did not push super expensive choices. Wine prices were very fair. The manager stopped by and asked if everything was going OK. Dessert was the star of the evening! Do not miss ordering Affogato for dessert. Espresso poured over Honey Gelato with an Almond Biscotti. Dessert was a show stopper. Thanks Tavernetta for a wonderful culinary experience.
Nice spot
Nice atmosphere in a convenient central location. Staff is attentive, albeit a bit scattered (we had at least 10 different people attending to the table). Food is delicious, although the portions are on the smaller side relative to the price. Housemade pasta is delicious. Gets crowded so make sure to book a reservation!
Nice ambiance and very friendly staffs.
We sat at the bar because tables are all booked and the wait will be too long. My girlfriend and I were really excited to try out the restaurant because it's on our girls date list. However, the food is one the worst flavors we ever had. We ordered a pasta flight because the bartender recommended it. Four small plates of pasta with 4 different sauces but all we can tasted is the salt... SUPER salty.. we couldn't even finish one small plate. For how much we don't like to waste food, I felt bad that we didn't finish anything. So disappointed and I really don't think we ever got any Italian food like this bad.
Wonderful evening! The venu is simple and elegant.
It's lively but not loud. Despite the buzz, we were able to hold a comfortable conversation. The staff was exceptional, everyone was very friendly and helpful. We started with carpaccio and foccacia, which we decided to split 50:50 regular and gluten free. It definitely put us in a good mood. As the main part, we decided to go with Spagetti Alla Nerano (one of us in regular version, me in gluten free version so fusilli instead of spaghetti) and a NY strip steak. The pasta was outstanding. My recommendation is to mix it up on the plate a bit to combine the taste. My partner said the steak was so far the best one she had in Denver. Needless to say, the dinner was fenomenal. Having a bit of a sweet tooth, we shared some desserts. The server recommended the Colorado honey gelato, and oh my, it was delicious! They mentioned that sometimes the customers are surprised there is no vanilla flavor, but it's really not needed when you have the honey! We also did the panna cotta, which was a mix of pumpkin (panna cotta), carmel apple (meringue), and cranberry (gelato). I'm running out of adjectives here! It was to die for. One of the pest panna cottas I ever had, and the mix of tastes was extraordinary. A litte side note: The size of the dishes is more European than American, which we loved. We were able to have a starter, main and a dessert, and not feel stuffed. For me, that's a huge advantage, but I'm mentioning that in case some of you might be big eaters and expect large portions. Here it's about the taste, not quantity! They did have a few dishes marked as bigger plates, though, in case someone is very hungry or wants leftovers. Even though gluten free options are not marked on the menu, the server walked us through everything, and about 90-95% already is or can be made GF. They have gluten free foccacia and pasta (fusilli). I think at the time of our vist the only options that were not possible to adjust were seafood, ravioli, and baked pasta. And some of the desserts. It's definitely one of the top restaurants in Denver. Can't wait to come back again!
As someone who loves trying various restaurants I was
As someone who loves trying various restaurants I was excited for this! We didn't have a reservation but tried to come in before heading to a concert. They let us in as a walk in and even put us in the back reservation room. My friends and I aren't drinking these days because we are trying to get hot girl summer bodies and after we told the waitress we wouldn't be drinking her tone and mood changed towards us. She was super rude the rest of the night and I felt like we were being judged! My friends and I all thought the vibes were not it with the staff that night. To make matters worse two of us asked her if we could share something as we are watching our caloric intake and she said the portion would be plenty big enough for two people to get full. When the pasta came out it was only enough for 2-3 bites a person. Had we known that it would've been that small we would've ordered separate portions. The waitress then came over to us and mockingly asked if we were still hungry. We said yes and she informed us that we could not order from the kitchen again as it would take too long! We ended up going to our concert hungry. Super disappointed and as a TikTok reviewer I did not make a TikTok about this place! Cancelled!
What an awesome experience from start to finish!! Valet was
What an awesome experience from start to finish!! Valet was simple and affordable at the limelight. Lovely acknowledgement upon walking into Restaurant. Enjoyed hearing waiters recommendations for plates, we got everything he recommended. He asked for allergies and was very knowledgeable on what allergens were in each dish. We had the focaccia, burrata, insalata mista, lamb rigatoni and lamb loin followed by tiramisu. Only downfall was the acoustics are awful, we could barely hear our waiter speak to us. Honestly as. 40 year old acoustics are important to me when dining out, I'd like to hear my husband and the waiter. They could use some acoustic muffling things on the ceiling since the walls are cement. Next time we would request to sit outside. Everything came out in perfect succession and was off the charts amazing in flavor. Cocktails were top notch, I'd come back just for cocktails. I had the scarlett ibis and Kate for the train, but I want to try them all!
The ambiance was very nice, and the service was highly
The ambiance was very nice, and the service was highly attentive and very helpful actually. The food was good, but I felt like they were dishes I could easy recreate at home. The duck in one of the pasta dishes was full of bone bits that my partner kept on biting into which was obviously very disappointing.
Delicious Italian craving satisfied
Excellent ambiance. Great selection of wines and cocktails. We didn’t have a reservation and opted to walk-in. Party of 2 was an hour wait on a Friday night. Not too bad! We walked around and got some boba (mid) while we waited. Wait time ended up being around 45 minutes or so. We sat at the bar. My chair was a bit uncomfortable but it seemed like I was the only one who had a smaller than usual barstool? My girlfriend’s chair was roomier and more comfortable. We got the insalada mista (salad) to start, the rigatoni with a lamb ragu, and the capunti with braised rabbit, to share. We ended with the affogato and a macchiato. The salad was bright, perfectly portioned, and delicious. It had a generous serving of Parmesan that was somehow light and airy, at the same time. A great way to get started. 9/10. The mains were good. I preferred the capunti (8/10) over the rigatoni dish (7/10), but both were delectable. The pasta is made fresh, in-house and you can definitely tell! It’s tender and rich. Though I subtract points for finding some broken pieces of rabbit bone in the capunti. I’m glad I didn’t break a tooth! My girlfriend didn’t have this issue with the capunti, so I’ll chalk it up to bad luck on my end. The espresso for the affogato was super strong, but it paired nicely with the honey gelato and almond biscuit. The service was friendly, helpful, and attentive. I’d definitely recommend this spot for some delicious Italian food.
Great happy hour spot! Was happy to find this place on the
Great happy hour spot! Was happy to find this place on the backside of Union Station. Definitely an upscale place that u felt fancy in. Looking forward to that prosciutto plate again!
On our way through Denver to Glenwood Springs, my wife and
On our way through Denver to Glenwood Springs, my wife and I stopped in for dinner on a Monday evening with no reservation, Aislyn worked with us in to get a table right away. Our waiter was Mike, my wife decided to let Mike choose our dishes for the evening. Starting with an exceptional gin and tonic, we had the Burrata, Piatti Di Formaggi and Foccacia bread for an appetizer. It was truly delicious but the homemade focaccia bread. Ya'll, omg it was to die for. Wish I had some right now. Next,
Was pretty good.
Did not enjoy my entree at all. Would select an alternative next time.
Food service and ambiance were amazing.
The general manager was super accommodating and gave us personalized attention. The flavor quality of the food was top-notch. The whole chicken was great but I would recommend numerous orders of the pasta with lobster. We could have feasted on that all night.
I made a reservation 4 months in advance for 6 people.
Two days prior I had to change to 5 due to a funeral for a person in my party. We were seated in the lounge at too small of a table and one of the portions of a pasta dish was much smaller than the rest of our pasta dishes. The service was great, but for a reservation that was made 4 months in advance I would think they would not cram us into the lounge!
Impeccable ambiance with an even better menu and staff to
Impeccable ambiance with an even better menu and staff to boot. My wife and I went for our Anniversary and got one of the Alpenglobe reservations, quaint and quiet. This is the place for the best Italian food around and the most courteous staff. 12/10
April Birthday celebration!
I love trying new places. This place was Very Good. The place is beautiful. The staff was amazing. They were very patient with our questions. We ordered 2 appetizers, 1 salad,2 pasta dishes, Steak, and a dessert. The appetizers were awesome. BURRATA andThe Focaccia bread was one of the best I have had. The salad was very fresh and good. INSALATA MISTA But it had a fresh herb that my husband did not like. The lamb RIGATONI Lamb Ragu, Pecorino Romano. Was the favorite. The steak. I really liked. My husband felt it was a little tough. My TAGLIATELLE Maine Lobster, Calabrian Chili, Preserved Tomato, Celery. Was very tasty. My only complaint was that it needs more lobster. The flavor was very good. The dessert was very good. The herbal tea was awesome. Overall it was a great experience. My drink was wonderful LATE FOR THE TRAIN Jones House Vodka, Grapefruit, Lemon, Honey, Coconut, Rose
Fantastic food, our server & Rylan, our sommelier were
Fantastic food, our server & Rylan, our sommelier were amazing. Definitely a memorable experience.
Above average cuisine; higher-end Italian fare served
Above average cuisine; higher-end Italian fare served family style on huge plates and in abundance. You can also order a la carte. Decent bar selections. Great for large parties and/or celebrations with co-workers. Just steps away from the light rail for those who don't want to drive after drinking or are heading to airport when done. Easy walk to Ball Arena and Coors Field. The vibe is more noisy than intimate but nice decor. Think white tablecloth. Service was just right - attentive but not fussy or pushy. It checks all the boxes with tasty dishes, great service and vibrant ambiance. Definitely will go there again.
Food is stunning And is the best customer service I have
Food is stunning And is the best customer service I have ever had in my life! A bonus is that the place is really pretty
Where to start here.
. While doing research on "best Denver spots with homemade pasta" I came across Tavernetta many times. Reservations seem to fill up but we were able to find a time in advance that worked for us. The appetizers were good but the pasta was "oh my" The food and ambiance was cozy, warm, homey, and so delicious. I'd be dreaming of their food ever since. Would pass on the dessert though- or maybe we just weren't fans of our choice. I'd definitely recommend Holy Moley and then Tavernetta for a great date night within walkable distance.
Upscale Italian at upscale prices? What's not to love? Do
Upscale Italian at upscale prices? What's not to love? Do try to make a reservation, though. Unfortunately, we're past the price range of Italian restaurants that offer free bread, but the focaccia is a great starter - warm and fresh, as it should be. The burrata was also fantastic (you can't go wrong with spreading cheese on bread!), but do note that it doesn't come with bread itself. The crudo was incredibly fresh and it felt like the prawns had been caught within the hour. As for the entrees, the rigatoni was by far my favorite. Cheesy, chewy, savory, and delectable, this was wholeheartedly the best pasta of the night. It definitely helped fill the "no free bread"-sized hole in my stomach. The garganelli was good but a bit disappointing, as the flavor was a bit on the heavier side, and the duck seemed like an afterthought and was sprinkled among the pasta noodles. The lobster tagliatelle was pretty good and had a light spicy note that helped enhance the dish. The steak was incredibly well-cooked and very tender, and it had this absolutely beautiful sear that produced that perfect, not too hard crust that all steaks desire, much like how I desired more bread, preferably free. Paired with the potatoes, it made for a balanced, hearty feast. A great place for a fancy dinner. You'll be impressed.
Phenomenal and worth all the accolades they've received!
Phenomenal and worth all the accolades they've received! My wife's new favorite restaurant
Tavernetta is a special place.
An authentic northern Italian dining experience in a chic, comfortable environment right next to Union Station. I celebrated my birthday here in December, and while I was disappointed there was no special cocktail or dessert for me (or any mention of my birthday lol), the food and overall service made up for it. I've always had pleasant experiences with the hosts and servers. It's refined dining but very welcoming and relaxed too! I visited for lunch this week and enjoyed the fixed menu - two courses for $30 with the option to add a wine pairing (half glass per course) for $20. The rigatoni caccio e pepe is divine but I gotta give proper due to the insalata mista which was soooo delicious. Order the burrata and foccacia to start and finish your meal with tira misu.
This place is awesome! The cocktails were awesome.
Pasta fantastic. Highlight of our trip. So delicious.
Great atmosphere and the food was delicious! Not huge
Great atmosphere and the food was delicious! Not huge portions so take that into account when ordering. Definitely worth going! Downside is that the staff seemed unhappy? Not sure how else to describe it. Everyone was professional and did a good job, no complaints. But no staff member had a smile on their face and gave the impression that they loved what they did and were excited to share the experience with us. Sad actually. Maybe just a bad vibe for everyone that evening but Friday's are fun days in my book??
Top notch dining experience
Met some friends for dinner on a Monday night at Tavernetta. The dining room was beautifully decorated with a lovely fireplace and a beautiful bar. The service was outstanding. Wait staff was very attentive and made sure that all entrees were delivered to the table simultaneously. I had the focaccia which was full of great flavor. I tried a few bites of my wife's insalata mista and their house made buttermilk dressing was impressive. My entree was the rigatoni which had a lamb ragu and was excellent and beautifully presented.
Making Magic!!
Absolution Perfection!!!! The only surprise is that it took Michelin so long to notice the magic they're making at Tavernetta. The open kitchen is smooth and spotless the ambiance is ideal the drinks are as perfectly balanced as every plate we ordered. Service is flawless, never rushed nor neglected
Very salty appetizers
Great happy hour wine and really great priced appetizrrs.. However, we found both small plates of Calamari and the meatballs to be very salty.
Not worth hype
You have to really want to visit to actually find this establishment. Extremely hard to park. Nice, but not worth the effort. Service is excellent. Food is ok. Drinks are basically prepared - boring. Not worthy of hype. One and done. It’s a regret.
Some of the best pasta ever
This was some of the best food I’ve ever tasted in my life! The Michelin recognition was definitely deserved. Service was impeccable (if a little intense) and the pasta dishes I tried were just gorgeous. Everything from the quality of the paper the menus were printed on to the bowls to the flavours, to the open kitchen… I loved every second!
Fantastic Meal at Tavernetta!!
Walked in on a Sunday night with no reservation around 8pm, were seated at the bar within 15 minutes. Was one of the top meals we have had anywhere really. Pheasant layered pasta dish (special) and the lamb ragu pasta, both superb. The setting was perfect and we were so happy that we walked out of our way to eat here on our final night in Denver.
Good
My spouse said it was the best Gluten free pasta she has ever had. Gluten free burrata option also. Food was good. I favor more pasta options. More modern decor.
Ok ok .
.. this place is flat out scrumptious. The atmosphere is elegant without being over done or stuffy. All the details from the flooring to the chair backs were inviting & comfortable. Flat out loved it all.
My friend and I decided to try Tavernetta out as a treat
My friend and I decided to try Tavernetta out as a treat yourself end of the week flavor adventure. We were seated at the bar and had amazing service and chats with Jack. To start, we ordered the burrata and the foccacia to go with it. This was literally heaven on a plate. I legit could order just this and be perfectly happy. For the main course, I indulged in the Gnocchi: Mushroom, Taleggio, Black Truffle. The person next to me also ordered it and called it "adult mac & cheese," and I agree. The sauce was creamy and flavorful. I also got Jim's New Knees to drink with dinner. Great combination of ingredients for this cocktail. It was definitely an enjoyable night out. We were also served by Jason, whose service was fine.
The best Italian restaurant in Denver! Everything is up to
The best Italian restaurant in Denver! Everything is up to the highest quality I have found in this city. It's a bit pricy but that is a worth the experience and transportation to Italy you will experience at this restaurant. The service is white glove and attentive but not annoying. The vibe of the restaurant is modern up class.
Their quality, kindness and generosity will have us coming back
My wife and I celebrated our 27th wedding anniversary and though I was unable to get a reservation we were pleasantly surprised to find there was availability when we arrived. They sat us near the fireplace (upon request) and we proceeded to have a very special meal. The gluten free options were plentiful for my wife and I decided on the pasta Al Forno. My wife mentioned it was our anniversary and at the end, though we had only ordered one affogato the waiter knew I was eyeing the Tiramisu. Though we hadn't ordered it, they brought us two glasses of champagne and the Tiramisu (on the house) in addition to the affogato. The Tiramisu and the affogato were the best we've ever had.. This gesture tells me a lot about the way a restaurant is run and makes me want to come back again and again, while telling others to do the same. Thank you for a great night.
Great place
Excellent quality of food, wine list and service. Sommelier Tre, Manager Seth and sever Bruce were all excellent - knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. I live in SF, but will come back when I am next in Denver.
We had a group dinner for about 60 people and everyone
We had a group dinner for about 60 people and everyone seemed happy. The team at Tavernetta was very organized, I can tell management really cares about the quality of service they provided - I felt like I was on an episode of top chef. They had a group take food out to each table at the same time so the dishes can be served in unison...fun presentation.For me, I enjoyed the food overall. My polenta dish was so-so 3/5. I tried my friends steak dish which I thought was good 4/5. The salmon was the absolutely delicious 5/5. Tiramisu dessert was 5/5. Overall, I enjoyed my experience, the atmosphere was lively, the open kitchen concept is fun and this is a fantastic place for a date night.

Tried their $35 fixed lunch menu which came with appetizer
Tried their $35 fixed lunch menu which came with appetizer and main pasta entree options. They also had extra side snacks that one can add.The ambiance is very much upscale and cozy. Definitely saw a lot of business folks dining while I was in baggy jeans and a tee lol. I sat at the bar and the lunch rush wasn't too bad on a weekday. I scheduled a reservation although I dont think it's really needed. Always to be safe than sorry!Food: I tried the their soup of the day and lamb ragu Malfadine pasta. I would pass on the soup. While the bartender recommended it to me, I saw the salad dishes come out of the kitchen and it just looked 10x more appetizing with the loaded parm cheese. The soup was ok and definitely a first for me trying soup with orange slices in it. The Lamb Ragu malfadine was pretty good and a unique pasta shape (imagine mini lasagna pasta but narrower). Overall, enjoyed my dining experience here. I didn't think the soup of the day was worth it but their pastas for sure are delicious.
Service was good.
Ambiance was good. Food was just so so. Grew up in an Italian town out east and just feel like they could learn a few things.
Delicious.
My partner and I ended up being a walk-in on Valentine's Day with the prix fixe set to $125 a person. The following were our thoughts: 1. Fonduta with crudités- This was "okay." Essentially cold veggies with a slightly warm and thin "fondue." It was very light and a filling palette cleanser. I wouldn't pay for this individually, but frankly it was a smart move in terms of menu planning because it was light enough that you don't feel overwhelmed with flavor and easy/cheap enough to make that it had a good profit margin. This item made sure hungry people once sat quickly got food without any back-up in the kitchen due to a busy night. Overall a smart introduction. 2. Pasta con Limone: This was stellar. A very creamy lemon sauce with a nicely rounded lemon flavor with lemon zest and bursts of a salty seafood profile due to the caviar. This was extremely good and technically beautifully executed. 3. NY Strip w/ polenta and salsa verde: This was also stellar with a wonderfully creamy polenta that had an herby/shallot flavor moment once mixed with the salsa verde. The steak itself was cooked PERFECTLY and for the cut of the meat it was beautifully tender. The salsa verde really paired nicely with the polenta and the steak. I took mental notes so I can ~attempt~ and (likely fail) to replicate at home. 4. Almond chocolate tart with gelato/chocolate pomegranate cake: The dessert was where the experience fell flat. The flavors were pretty standard, and the chocolate cake under the pomegranate ice was EXTREMELY dry. King Soopers Bakery could make a better cake frankly. The gelato however was delicious. I recommend just getting the gelato alone since that was incredible. Overall I am not a huge dessert person, so it didn't really impact the experience too much. Service was impeccable from start to finish, and overall we felt completely cared for and very satisfied to boot. Tavernetta has a new fan!
Upscale and classy, dining at Tavernetta is an experience
Upscale and classy, dining at Tavernetta is an experience from start to finish. We had a reservation at 8:15pm but weren't seated until a little after 8:30, it was a Friday night and it was packed. Our waiter, Casey, was welcoming and gave us an overview of the menu as well as their specials for the evening. They have an extensive wine list and a sommelier for wine pairings. Their dishes are optimal for family style and definitely great for sharing and trying different dishes. We got the burrata, foccacia, piatti di cicchetti, insalata mista, crudo, tagliatelle, and manzo (ny strip). Our table was by the open kitchen and it was entertaining watching the chefs working their stations and communicating to each other. I would have loved to just be a fly on the wall watching them work a night's service. Our appetizers and first courses came relatively fast with the servers explaining the ingredients as they were served. The burrata was delicious. Soft, creamy, and the pesto and breadcrumbs added texture and flavor that paired perfectly with the focaccia. The insalata mista was refreshing and crisp! The dressing and parmigiano-reggiano made the dish. The tagliatelle had maine lobster in a tomato sauce, and this dish didn't impress me like I thought it would. I thought the flavors were a bit lacking, but the lobster was soft and cooked well. Our pasta was undercooked and when we told the server he immediately requested another from the kitchen (although that wasn't our intention). The second pasta was way better, perfectly al dente. The winner of the meal was the NY strip. Medium rare, the steak had a nice char and seasoning. Peppery with a hit of marsala, it was tender and juicy. The oyster mushrooms and sunchoke brought an earthiness and texture contrast that complemented the steak. I would get this again. Service was exceptional. My water was always filled, and the servers folded our napkins when we got up to use the restroom. Dishes and silverware were exchanged between each course, and Casey checked in frequently ensuring our meal was up to standard. The restaurant staff was well dressed, classy, without pretension. While some dishes were better than others, our experience as Tavernetta was exceptional and I understand the hype. I wished I tried their drinks and dessert, I just gotta come back!
After our previous experience, the Tavernetta team
After our previous experience, the Tavernetta team graciously reached out and invited us to return. I'm happy to report that our follow-up experience returned Tavernetta to its 5 star status. Our server, Anthony, and the rest of the staff were fantastic -- enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The food and drinks were prepared with finesse and each dish was beautifully presented and flavored. The brown butter scallops were heavenly and our personal favorite, but the crudo and crostini were also stars.Not pictured, we also tried the Fagiano Alla Cacciatore (Pheasant, Hunter's Stew, Cremini Mushroom) and the Gnocchi Al Funghi (Mushroom, Taleggio Fonduta, Black Truffle). The gnocchi was pillowy soft and the dish had just the right amount of funk. The staff went above and beyond to make this a memorable experience and we look forward to our next visit to Tavernetta.
Amazing.
Just go. The food is excellent, the service is amazing, the vibe is great. Absolutely everything was perfect.
Excellent service and food.
Excellent service and food. A bit expensive but worth it. Great location by Union Station. Would definitely go back for a fancy dinner.
Mostly very good
I have been to Tavernetta twice in the last two months. Both times were a very nice experience overall. It is hard to get reservations and it is very busy, so had high expectations. I would say most of the food was very good with some dishes outshining others. On our last visit we really loved the branzino and the gnocchi. Our friend loved the lobster tagliatelle. Another pasta we had was just so so. They made a mistake on our order and brought an incorrect dish but they were apologetic and got the correct dish out promptly. If you order burratta appetizer with foccacia and ask for more bread just know they charge you for the bread your order. Happy with service overall. Tables are very close together. They do have a cool room for a bigger party and outdoor globes which would be nice I think. Happy to go again but for the price probably only with friends who want to go.
Another Wonderful Dinner
Cesar guided us through the always changing menu. His guidance, knowledge and desire to learn what we liked and appreciated were invaluable. The staff knew we had a hockey game to attend. We were never rushed! The team made sure that the pace was enjoyable. Cesar made sure we were out in time! The Gnocchi Fungi became one of our appetizers and it was wonderful! More foccacia was ordered to take advantage of the wonderful sauce. Scallops and the warm salad were great treats!
A little glitch
Our group was really looking forward to Tavernatta, since it was a favorite of one of our friends. I made reservations early in August for our group, but when we arrived, they didn't have them for us. They did manage to accommodate us--five at a table and three at the bar, but it was a disappointing beginning to our Denver adventure. However, the food was delicious and the staff was very congenial.
