    We celebrated my daughter’s and soon to be son-in-law’s recent engagement on top of the mountain. Couldn’t ask for a better setting! The restaurant was beautiful and our seating was perfect (Party of 8) we had plenty of room to stretch out. Can’t say enough about our waiter, Rau’l! He took us on an epicurean journey! He even had a surprise for my daughter for dessert! Our sommelier, John, was so very helpful. He brilliantly paired the perfect wines for the entrees we had selected. Our meal was delicious and the service was impeccable! Couldn’t ask for a better evening. Thanks to the entire staff!

    We were really excited to try Tavernetta and arrived very hungry, ready for a great experience. We ordered the carpaccio di manzo, focaccia, two risottos, and two short rib pastas. I don’t usually like to leave negative reviews, but when you dine at a restaurant of this level—especially in a Four Seasons—you naturally have high expectations. Out of everything we ordered, the carpaccio was the highlight. It was good—but not particularly memorable. The risotto, unfortunately, was the most disappointing. The texture was very loose, almost like a cheese soup, and both people who ate them ended up with stomach discomfort afterward. The short rib pasta was decent, enjoyable but not outstanding. As for the focaccia, it wasn’t our favorite, but we chose not to return it because the staff was genuinely kind and attentive, and we didn’t want to make a scene. I do want to emphasize that the service was excellent. Everyone was warm, professional, and very welcoming throughout the meal. Our disappointment was really with the food itself rather than the hospitality. Overall, we left feeling that the dishes didn’t quite meet the level we were expecting, given the restaurant’s reputation and setting.

    I visited Tavernetta with my wife and three kids this week during our Vail ski trip. The restaurant was truly EXCEPTIONAL. The ambience very chic. The food exquisite. And the service a solid 5 stars. The waiter and sommelier who attended to us were extremely polite, knowledgeable and professional (they both had moved to vail from NYC). The manager JAY was the best of all. He checked on us frequently and when I asked him for the favor of assisting us in securing a hard to get reservation at another Four Seasons facility, he immediately got it done. Jay is a very capable and professional fellow. TAVERNETTA to us is the best restaurant in Vail and will be our go to place for italian fine dining every time we vacation in Vail.

    Worth every penny! We made a reservation but got there early to get cocktails from their cute spritz window and drank them outside by the fire overlooking the resort. Then our meal and the service were top tier. Our waiter Paul was exceptional and we met the manager Michael who was just lovely. We got the focaccia starter with olive oil and it was divine. Followed by the best burrata I’ve ever had. We got the truffle gnocchi for our mains and it was insanely good - huge prices of fresh truffles they shaved right onto our plate at the table. And finally the tiramisu dessert is to die for. Plus the red wines we had were top tier!! Pricey but the quality and experience matches it 🙌🏼

    Really nice experience. Let me start by the service which was amazing (the two girls that look like twins)! The food was very delicate, fresh and delicious. We tried the Gnocchi and the risotto and the both were great choices! It’s worth visiting ..
