Traditionally celebrated in savory preparations, corn becomes the centerpiece of our Torta. Our sweet corn cheesecake is paired with strawberry sherbet, finger lime, and layers of corn in every form, from crumble to caramel, the dish explores the sweeter side of a familiar ingredient.

A taste of Sicily, right here in Denver.

After his recent travels through all four corners of Sicily, including Marsala and the islands of southwest Sicily, Sean Perez, Senior Sommelier at Tavernetta, brought a little piece of the island to the table.

A 2022 Donnafugata Passito di Pantelleria, made from sun-dried Zibibbo grapes, meets candied orange peel for a pairing that highlights the wine’s bright, aromatic citrus notes.

The perfect way to end a date night at Tavernetta.

Only a few bottles remain—join us and experience this Sicilian pairing before it’s gone.

Meet Ambyr Owens-Hayes, General Manager at Tavernetta.

Inspired by countless hours watching the Food Network with her mom, Ambyr pursued degrees in Culinary Arts and Food Service Management before joining Tavernetta in 2017 as a glass polisher.

Her dedication and commitment to hospitality led her into management in 2023 and to General Manager in 2025. Today, she leads the team with the same passion that first sparked her love of the industry.

We're proud to have her at the helm of the dining room.
