Restaurants near History Colorado Center

Small restaurant but feels intimate and cozy. Every dish was amazing. Wish they had dessert though

What a treasure to find this beautiful restaurant a few steps from my hotel in Downtown Denver. I went in knowing only that it was a fine dining restaurant and that I was looking for a memorable experience, and Tavernetta delivered. My server, Remy, was a delight and helped me make my best choices. I started with the caviar and champagne flight which was perfectly delectable. I thought I would skip the Per la Tavola menu but I had to have some of the focaccia so I got a half order of that and it was so good, I tried to save a piece to take with me, sadly I forgot my box when I left and realized too late (due to being fully satiated) to go back for it. For Primi, I ordered the tagliatelle because I can never pass up a lobster dish, it was plate-cleaning delicious. For Secondi, I went with the Pesce, wanting something light and healthy, which worked out well because I ended up with two desserts! Well, three, if you count the espresso martini. After Remy described the Cafe Dolce gelato, I was second-guessing my choice of the Colorado Honey gelato and I said as much so the wonderful staff offered me both for dessert and it was the perfect way to round out my last evening in Denver. Thank you Travis and Remy, and the rest of the staff at Tavernetta, I will definitely come back next time I’m in town!

An absolutely exceptional evening at Guard and Grace! My husband and I enjoyed the chef’s counter experience on Saturday night, and every bite was perfection. The food was delicious, beautifully prepared, and thoughtfully presented. What made the evening even more special was the genuine warmth and hospitality of the entire team. We loved interacting with Ruben at the counter and appreciated the outstanding service. A special shout-out to the very Tall Brian! Being Halloween weekend, the festive spirit was contagious! Everyone seemed genuinely joyful and worked together seamlessly as a team. Guard and Grace delivered more than an incredible meal; it was a wonderful experience filled with warmth, personality, and exceptional hospitality. Thank you to the entire team for such a memorable evening. We can’t wait to return!

We attended the Diva exhibit at the Denver Art Museum. We had lunch at Ponti’s. Excellent salads and cocktails. Highly recommend.

Service was a little slow but the food was outstanding!
