- KKeithVIPSan Diego •47 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoThis place is wonderful. Smallish, making it cozy and warm. Rustic chic, making you feel at home. Family owned, making it a gem in a world of chain restaurants. Quality focused - so that what is on the menu is well prepared to its fullest extent possible. Our party of 6 became a party of 10 in one day, and the host was super accommodating. We arrived to see a beautiful suspended table with a large three candle candelabra in the center of the table. We quickly reviewed the wine list with Troy and he made excellent recommendations (specifically this Sardinian red that had the taste of Chianti but smooth and no bite, even at 14.5%). The Fennel sausage pizzas, ahi crudo, burrata (ah, the burrata), the salads, the pastas, and the green apple sorbet (with arancella on the side) - all were prepped and served with grace. Allison and Troy took excellent care of us. Go for something uniquely Denver and uniquely special - there is nothing "broken" about Jovanina's Italian Restaurant.

Discover Denver
Located just an hour’s drive from the trifecta of ski resorts—Aspen, Vail and Breckenridge—and nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains; Denver is scaling the ranks of the country’s most desirable places to live. And while Colorado’s capital city is a world class hub of winter recreations, a booming restaurant scene is on the rise, too. Brunch waits now rival those of its coastal counterparts. Sounds a little weird given Denver’s land-locked nature, but sushi is also popular here. Downtown, you’ll find Italian Trattorias, sprawling beer gardens, and a slew of coffee shops that range from pour over bars to laid-back, locals-only spots. Larimer Square forms the heart of downtown’s historic district and houses upscale restaurants fit for special occasions. On the outskirts of town, Red Rocks Amphitheater draws festival crowds for its outdoor acoustics and epic views.
