- LLaurenvipDenver / Colorado •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoMy friend and K really enjoyed Linger! We ordered the pork belly bao, sweet fries, and charred edamame for a shared dinner. All of the food was packed with flavor and delicious. She ordered an old fashioned and I ordered the Thai tea cocktail. She enjoyed her old fashioned and said it was very orange forward, I was unfortunately not a fan of my cocktail but I think only because of personal preference. Overall I still would give it a 5/5. Ambiance was great but it was a tad loud. Looking forward to going back and trying more things!More infoLingerPrice: Expensive• Global, International• Highlands•4.6

- DDerekAustin •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoWe were the last table on a Tuesday night and you would have thought we were the first table on a Saturday night. From the complementary Prosecco to the fantastic Charcuterie board to the even better pasta(I’m from the east coast and it’s great pasta) Cat our server was the best.More infoLucaPrice: Expensive• Italian• Central•4.9
- DDavidDenver / Colorado •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoWe recently celebrated my wife’s birthday at Tavernetta and it was an unforgettable experience. The highlight of the evening was the pasta with lobster—perfectly cooked and brimming with flavor. It was a dish to savor with every bite. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it an ideal spot for a special occasion being my wife’s birthday. The staff were attentive and friendly. Great suggestion made for our first time here! If you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine with a touch of elegance, Tavernetta is a fantastic choice. We’ll definitely be back!More infoTavernettaPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Downtown / LoDo•4.7
- JJonnaAustin •3 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoPasta Mondays are the best idea! We made a reservation about a month and a half in advance. Definitely worth it as I overheard there was a 2 hour wait at 7:00pm. Food was delicious, service was great. Will be back.More infoOdyssey Italian Restaurant & Wine BarPrice: Expensive• Italian• Central•4.7
