Colorado's Best Italian Restaurant Features The Only Pasta Flight In The State (And It's In The Heart Of Denver) - Tasting Table
"On the nightly happy hour menu, Tavernetta offers a pasta flight that delivers half-orders of rigatoni cacio e pepe, rigatoni alla gricia, bucatini carbonara, and bucatini all'amatriciana to tables. This kind of option not only helps reduce decision fatigue but allows guests to compare and contrast the different pasta recipes. The pasta is served in courses, allowing guests to detect flavors and different preparation styles, like the cheesy, peppery cacio e pepe and the rich rigatoni all gricia made with guanciale."
"Located on 16th Street in downtown Denver, Tavernetta has been marked Bib Gourmand by the Michelin Guide, and visitors admit that the restaurant lives up to the hype. "Their burrata makes dreams come true," gushed a fan on TikTok. The restaurant accommodates walk-ins for its bar, patio, and lounge, so you don't even need a reservation to stroll in and get digging into plates of pasta."
