    Everything about our experience at Tavernetta was exceptional—the food, the wine (including the help from Luis the sommelier), the ambience and the service. Best dining experience I have had in Denver .

    I actually work here but brought my momma here to try the food and meet my coworkers. This dinner was lobster stuffed mushrooms (10/10), tortellini with bolognese was a 9 (the bolo and ragu are their best sauces imo) and the lamb shank with pappardelle was stunning! Chocolate mousse cake for dessert, it's like the tuxedo cake at Olive Garden... stupid good. Another thing about this place that makes me proud to work here is their commitment to quality products. I've never caught the owners, Jason and his (stunning!) wife Hallie, making cheap substitutions. They use real EVOO across the board. That's rare. Real butter, fresh seafood, etc No salad dressings here aside from Caesar and balsamic- if you like sweeter salads bring your French and honey mustard with ya lol.
