Best Authentic Restaurants in Sunnyside

Afternoon tea was lovely! Brown Palace beautifully decorated for Christmas, so festive! Atmosphere was cheery and bright and had all the holiday feels. I had heard that the BP had gone downhill a bit, but that was not at all our experience. Every staff member I encountered was friendly and polite. Our server was wonderful and attentive, and the food was terrific! Added bonus there was a piano player and he was wonderful and made the event even more special! Highly recommend!

Consistently fab food and drink, great service. A gem

As a daughter of Italian immigrants, it has been really hard finding authentic Italian food since moving to Denver. Since finding this place, I have come back so many times. Very authentic experience, the menu is set up just like they are in Italy, and incredible fresh pastas and foods. They were refreshing to be able to speak Italian when I come here with the stuff, and it is not an overly Americanized Italian restaurant like many other ones here.

We 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!

We had a lovely afternoon. Beautiful space. Myself and friend with our 17yr old daughters who loved all the beautiful pictures options. Tea options were fantastic. Food was good although I do think we should be able to get 1 refill of scones and sandwiches as that is how I have had in the past, but that’s my only nitpick.
