Tavernetta

Run 🏃🏻‍♀️💨 don’t walk to Tav. 1. Food is amayyyyyyzing. fyi 🚨their menu changes frequently and seasonally🚨so don’t check the menu too far out in advance because some food items might no longer be there. Staples (foods always on the menu) include their focaccia and burrata (ORDER THESE TOGETHER!), their lobster tagliatelle (which has some heat) and their rigatoni (a comfort classic). There might be others but point is there are few menu items that are consistent, which is a great excuse to keep coming back 🤪 Also, make room for dessert. Tav’s pastry team is fiiiiire 🔥 2. Drinks (wine and cocktails) are incredible. Tav has my favorite g&t ever full stop. Their wine list is extensive and impressive. If you have any questions, ask one of their sommeliers! They are super helpful and wonderful 💕 3. You need a reservation. They are busyyyyy. If you have a small party and don’t mind sitting at the bar *maybe* you’ll get lucky being seated as a walk in. But make a reservation. 4. Tav is certainly fine dining but not stuffy in the slightest. There’s no dress code and while some people dress up to go to Tav, other people wear jeans, so do whatever is comfortable for you. Tav is a place I’ve been to several times and will continue to come back to. Their service and food will leave you feeling VIP and cared for!

My husband and I came here for our first wedding anniversary. The service was impeccable. Upon getting seated, our host handed us a drink menu, to which I then asked what their zero proof options were. After showing us where they were on the menu, he came back only a couple mins later with two flutes of NA bubbly because he thought we needed to cheers the occasion with something. I just thought this was so thoughtful. Have been thinking about the food (especially the focaccia!!) ever since and can’t wait to go back. 100000/10!!

The food was very good, but perhaps a little underwhelming in some spots. Service was excellent. The lamb ragu had no noticeable lamb flavor and tasted just like ground beef TBH. I think I was expecting braised/pulled shoulder or shank instead of ground meet, but otherwise the sauce had nice flavor. Seems like the steak might have been sous vide before searing by the lack of any apparent color graduation in the mid rare, which is not my favorite method for steak honestly, as the flavor doesn’t get as concentrated with no evaporation in vacuum sealed methods (but to be fair I am not positive it was prepared that way, as I did not see a circulator on the line). Definitely seemed like choice and not prime however, so that was a bit disappointing for the price point. The buratta was delicious and the focaccia is excellent as well! The amount of sauce kind of overwhelmed the super finely sliced carpaccio, but it was still good. It’s a solid choice for fine dining if not a bit overhyped. The dishes were all above average but nothing mind blowing.

I’m a spoiled European with a really high bar for Italian food and last night’s dinner completely met all of my expectations. The food was spectacular! From Burrata and Carpaccio to the handmade pastas and desserts. Winter Squash Ravioli was our favorite but their Mushroom lasagna was also delicious. You can’t skip their Tiramisu. The Classic Negroni was hands down the best one I’ve ever had on this side of the pond! I can’t wait to come back.

First off, go here (i have had dinner here twice and sat at the bar a couple times)! Headed by an incredible team and Master Sommelier Bobby Stuckey (Frasca) and an incredible collection of bartenders and sommeliers, you will be amazed. I am a sommelier and a restaurant worker of 10 years, and I am always blown away every time I stop in for a couple of small pours of wine. The food is excellent, the service is incredible, and the atmosphere feels cozy yet formal. To me, they have earned the title of the best restaurant in Colorado.

Oh where to start! I felt a bit out of place in my t-shirt here, as it is a bit more upscale. However, the staff did not even act like they noticed me dressed like a scrub! LOL.. We had the meatballs and an order of bread for our starter, it did not disappoint! Crust on the bread was crispy and the center of the bread was soft and light. Perfect for dipping in the olive oil or the marinara sauce from the meatballs. I ordered the Tagliatelle (Maine Lobster, Calabrian Chile, in a robust tomato sauce, my wife had the Bucatini that was delicious as well. We both had a cocktail with our meal, you could see it was made with thought and care, both cocktails were fantastic to drink! When my wife stepped away from the table the Maitre d refolded her napkin, all the staff work together to bring you the best experience. Each one treated you as if you were vip. We also ordered a Tiramisu for dessert that was OMG good! Wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy a nice glass of port wine and a coffee but had after dinner plans that were pressing. Next time for sure! Desert and wine 1st!

Phenomenal way to spend our anniversary! Tyler's service was excellent, and he even helped introduce us to amari - we asked him to surprise us and he set us up with one of his favorite and the first he tried - both were fantastic. The bartender's choice Scarlet Ibis was amazing, the mushroom lasagna was top of the line, and our desserts could have easily been all of the courses, and we'd have been happy.
