- EREmily RebeccaNov 4, 20255.0This has to be one of my favorite restaurants in the entire valley! It is now where we spend our birthdays, I take people for work dinners, we even decided to eat dinner here the night of our wedding. The staff is extremely nice and the food is delicious every. single. time. Consistency is a big thing here in the valley that you don’t typically get, and Tavernetta always delivers!
- MSManuel SucreOct 25, 20255.0What a beautiful restaurant. The food and service were amazing. Literally nothing I can say it’s missing. It’s a luxurious experience for sure. Best Italian food I’ve had in Colorado.
- MMMacushla Hobin L.Ac. MSTOMOct 6, 20255.0I sat at the bar with Kristen as my guide thru a divine culinary and wine experience. The New York steak called Manzo, with special local grown squash and a burgundy truffle sauce was delightful. The Tuscan Podere Sapaio wine was served at a perfect temperature. Don’t forget to try the pana cotta for dessert, it will not disappoint. Service at the bar with Kristen was 5 star! I will be back. Four Seasons needed this place.
