    It was our first time dining at Tavernetta. We loved it in so many different ways. The quality of the food, drink and service was consistently excellent. We really enjoyed the decor and ambience of the dining room and open kitchen. And all of the staff were cheerful and friendly. We’ll be back soon.

    This is our favorite sports bar/restaurant to watch sports events at! Food and service are excellent and last night I was particularly impressed when the GM came to our table, asked for me by name, then went on to say he noticed that every time there was an Avs game, I had a reservation, and he wanted to thank me/us for our loyalty by comping our appetizer and desserts that night. Love that HT&P are tracking who their loyal customers are, then rewarding our loyalty. Impressive!

    Loved the food, the location was a tad confusing as to where to enter for our reservation, the music was techno/electric dance and it was loud and a bit annoying for my taste but over all great experience and great food.
