We have been to Italy and studied it's masters. We have tasted (a lot) of wine. We have searched for the best ingredients, and learned and perfected the best recipes. Why wouldn't we be the best Italian experience in the Vail Valley! The idea of growing fresh fruits and vegetables in the Rocky Mountains might seem crazy to some, but for us it is just another step in perfecting our craft. Our Chefs and Gardeners labor tirelessly to bring you the best produce and ingredients available seasonallyWe try each day to live and work with a purpose. Each step of your evening has been pondered. We try hard to bring you the food you crave and anticipate your every need while you are dining with us. From the stuzzichino when you step in our door to the parting sips of limoncello.

Always a wonderful evening! Pear and burrata salad is perfect balance of flavors. Cheesecake bites are decadent. Steak tartare is best in Vail.

The food was fantastic (you must get the whipped feta). Our waiter was very funny and happy to answer all questions we had about the menu. We were celebrating our anniversary and they were very happy to host us in our celebration and everyone wished us a happy anniversary! Will absolutely be returning for many years to come.

Had a great meal at Tavernetta Vail! Our server Denni was wonderful, she made great recommendations. Highlights were pastas (mafaldine and rigatoni) and the tiramisu. We will definitely come back on our next trip to Vail!

It’s one of the finest restaurants if not the best to have dinner in Vail village. The chef does an extra ordinary job in presenting the food in the dinner plate and the taste is spectacular. The dover sole plate is by far the best in the area and I’ve tried many. The dinner specials he prepares are amazing. They have an extensive collection of french wines for the wine conosieurs. Definitely a place you must visit when in Vail.
