- GGregoryGreater Boston •3 reviews5.0Dined todayAs always an incredible meal at Tavernetta. Went in for a snowy Monday dinner and had a cocktail each, split an app, and two plates of pasta. A light dinner but perfect, and what we were looking for. One of the pastas could’ve benefited from another 5-10s, but with fresh pasta, who cares. Delicious!More infoTavernetta DenverPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Downtown / LoDo•4.7

- PPawelVIPDenver / Colorado •30 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoNever disappointed! The fixed price menu for Valentine's Day was absolutely delicious, matched by the usual impeccable service (thank you Gage!). The menu never gets old - always new items, or long-standing favorites prepared in a new fashion since our last visit (agnolotte cacio e pepe for example). Shout out to the bartender as well for a delicious white negroni. Already planning a return visit!!More infoBarolo GrillPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Cherry Creek•4.8
- AAnaystaysiaSouth Carolina •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoWent here for Valentine’s with the hubby. The atmosphere was intimate and lovely. They gave us a rose, there were rose petals on the table, and the other patrons were all having their conversations at the same level so there was just a nice quiet mummer over the restaurant. It was so nice and the food was terrific, it was the first dinner in months where neither of us felt drawn to take out our phones. The energy was just right for us to feel like being engaging with one another. 10/10 would (and most likely will) dine again.More infoVenice Ristorante & Wine BarPrice: Moderate• Italian• Downtown / LoDo•4.8
- SShaylynDenver / Colorado •1 review5.0Dined 3 days ago5 Stars – Amazing Food, Great Vibes! Bar Dough is an absolute gem! The food was incredible—everything we ordered was so flavorful and perfectly cooked. You can really taste the quality and care in every bite. The atmosphere was just as good as the food—the music selection was on point, creating a fun but relaxed vibe. The staff was super friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. Plus, the crowd was great—just the right mix of people enjoying a good night out. Definitely a must-visit spot! Can’t wait to go back! And the Lemoncello Spritz with pear and cinnamon was so fresh paired with the pasta, while still warm and ju st perfection!!!<333More infoBar DoughPrice: Expensive• Italian• Highlands•4.4
