- AAdamDenver / Colorado •2 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoCame here for an anniversary/birthday dinner for my wife. We had a great experience! The arancini was so good. For dinner I had the squid ink tonnarelli and they made it extra spicy because I love my spicy food 😊. My wife had the strozzapreti. Both dishes were very delicious! They gave my wife a tiramisu for her birthday dessert. Also very good. We sat outside because it was a nice mild Denver evening and it was perfect. We ordered a pizza to go and it was ready for us when we were ready to leave. 10 out of 10 would recommend this place. We will definitely be returning for another date night.More infoNorth Italia – Denver$$$$• Italian• Cherry Creek•4.7

- TTomDenver / Colorado •2 reviews5.0Dined on Sep 14, 2026Tavernetta was an absolute delight from start to finish. The focaccia with cacio e pepe butter was outstanding, and both the alici and spiedini were beautifully prepared and full of flavor. We especially loved the Venetian Spritz, and the ice-cold Peroni for drinks. For pasta, we ordered the Cacio e Pepe and Bucatini all’Amatriciana, and both were exceptional, with wonderfully rich and balanced flavors. Everything we tried was thoughtfully executed without feeling overly fussy.More infoTavernetta Denver$$$$• Italian• Downtown / LoDo•4.7
