MICHELIN-recognized Italian at Union Station — one of Denver's most thoroughly excellent restaurants for power lunches and special-occasion dinners in a beautiful room beside the train hall.
Why It Belongs on the List
Tavernetta is the premier Italian restaurant in Denver — a MICHELIN-recognized dining room inside the Union Station complex with a menu built on house-made pastas, Colorado-sourced proteins, and an Italian wine list that won the MICHELIN Sommelier Award. The room is handsome and the service polished. The power lunch crowd and pre-theater scene make it a reliably buzzy rooms in LoDo. The bok choy with black sesame and anchovy vinaigrette is a signature starter.
