The Best Italian Restaurants in LoDo

Since 1994, Carmine’s Italian Restaurants have been bringing Italian dining to Denver, using fresh ingredients in generous portions. Everything is prepared  fresh to order with the best ingredients we can find. Our servers are well versed in the dishes and can help to guide your selections to meet any special dietary needs. Carmine's offers a full service bar featuring premium cocktails; an exclusive, 100 Italian wine list; and a private dining room that can accommodate up to 50 people.

Jovanina’s Broken Italian brings a fresh, modern take on Italian cuisine, through a Colorado lens, to Denver’s Lower Downtown neighborhood. With a dinner menu built for sharing, menu staples include vegetable-forward dishes, handmade pasta, wood-fired pizza, seafood, steak, and revolutionary desserts, all incorporating the best local and regional ingredients by season.

Chef-proprietor Frank Bonanno wanted to complement his highly successful high-end Italian eatery, Luca (named for the older Bonanno boy) by offering a little brother—a more playful version of Luca, but with the same artisan spirit, impeccable service, and the best house made burrata in Denver.

Inspired by the food, wine, and culture of Italy, Tavernetta brings la dolce vita style to Denver's bustling Union Station neighborhood with fresh handmade pastas, an Italian directed wine & spirits list and world-class hospitality.
