- AAlisonHawaii •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoThis was the best meal I have ever had in Denver, and I’ve been to most of the top rated restaurants. The frijoles with the chorizo and the birria were our top two favorites. The tequila old fashioned was amazing! I’m already planning my next reservation and to bring friends. One area of improvement is that the food is all cooked in the dining area and it got really smoky. My eyes kept watering and I had to go outside for fresh air at one point. We also came home smelling strongly of the food. The rest of the experience outweighed this so we’ll definitely be back but I’m writing this in hopes the air flow will be improved.More infoAlma Fonda FinaPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary Mexican• LoHi•4.9
- KKristiAtlanta Metro •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoAmazing experience! Started with the prosciutto, a pinot grigio, and had the tagliatelle, followed by the torta. It was all so wonderful! HIGHLY recommend the tagliatelle!! I sat at the bar, where Caesar waited on me, and he was exceptional. Highly attentive but not over-bearing; he was personable and friendly. I loved the ambiance as well. It should also be said, Caesar went above and beyond, and is an expert in his craft! Make a reservation, and you will not be disappointed.More infoTavernettaPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Downtown / LoDo•4.7
- MMyllexLos Angeles •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThis place is amazing. My wife and I vacationed in Denver and were major foodies. Came to this spot with high expectations and they did NOT disappoint. The wait WAS a little long but it was worth it. My wife and I had the Wagyu filet mignon with octopus with carrots and their potatoes wedges. Amazing. Would definitely come back and would highly recommend.More infoGuard & Grace - DenverPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Downtown / LoDo•4.8

Discover Denver
Located just an hour’s drive from the trifecta of ski resorts—Aspen, Vail and Breckenridge—and nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains; Denver is scaling the ranks of the country’s most desirable places to live. And while Colorado’s capital city is a world class hub of winter recreations, a booming restaurant scene is on the rise, too. Brunch waits now rival those of its coastal counterparts. Sounds a little weird given Denver’s land-locked nature, but sushi is also popular here. Downtown, you’ll find Italian Trattorias, sprawling beer gardens, and a slew of coffee shops that range from pour over bars to laid-back, locals-only spots. Larimer Square forms the heart of downtown’s historic district and houses upscale restaurants fit for special occasions. On the outskirts of town, Red Rocks Amphitheater draws festival crowds for its outdoor acoustics and epic views.
