    This place is wonderful. Smallish, making it cozy and warm. Rustic chic, making you feel at home. Family owned, making it a gem in a world of chain restaurants. Quality focused - so that what is on the menu is well prepared to its fullest extent possible. Our party of 6 became a party of 10 in one day, and the host was super accommodating. We arrived to see a beautiful suspended table with a large three candle candelabra in the center of the table. We quickly reviewed the wine list with Troy and he made excellent recommendations (specifically this Sardinian red that had the taste of Chianti but smooth and no bite, even at 14.5%). The Fennel sausage pizzas, ahi crudo, burrata (ah, the burrata), the salads, the pastas, and the green apple sorbet (with arancella on the side) - all were prepped and served with grace. Allison and Troy took excellent care of us. Go for something uniquely Denver and uniquely special - there is nothing "broken" about Jovanina's Italian Restaurant. Capisce?
