Jovanina's Broken Italian

Julie G

This is my absolute favorite restaurant in Denver!! Everything about this place is so unique and so special. You can tell how much love went into every single detail there. It’s my ‘go-to’ restaurant to celebrate special occasions with friends and family - but it’s also my favorite place to go if I’m dining alone and just want a delicious cocktail and light meal at the bar. The food is exquisite and the menu is always an awesome work in progress with updates made frequently - which keeps me coming back for more! I’ve eaten upstairs, downstairs, in the special prohibition tunnel table-for-two, as well as at the bar. Each experience just adds to how incredible this place is. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Charlie, the manager, always greats me with a smile and a big hug. It feels like family there - a big happy Italian family. And my favorite bartender is John L - his craft cocktails are truly something special and he makes you feel right at home. Which is always what you hope for when you’re dining alone. I always love bringing new people here with me. And they always end up loving it such as I do! Such a special place!

Absolutely Incredible Experience – 10/10! We celebrated my mom’s birthday at Jovanina’s with a few groups of friends, and it was truly an unforgettable night. We were lucky enough to sit at the floating table in the middle of the restaurant, which made the experience even more special. From start to finish, everything was amazing. The service was top-notch—attentive, friendly, and efficient. They take everyone’s order at the same time, which helped keep things smooth for a larger group. And the food? Absolutely phenomenal. The sausage funnel pizza was a standout—seriously, do not skip it! Every dish was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. The atmosphere, the service, and the incredible food all made for a perfect evening. If I could give it 10 stars, I would! Highly recommend Jovanina’s for any special occasion—or just because. We’ll definitely be back!

I enjoyed my experience here so much. The food was delicious and I felt like I was back in Europe the second we walked downstairs. The decor & details were perfect. Loved the teal candle sticks too! We shared a few items from the menu and I will definitely be back for the Elk Bolognese!

Every. Single. Item. Was perfection!!!! Between the next level atmosphere, impeccable service and the mind blowing food…. It was a 10000/10. My girlfriend and I had an amazing and very memorable dinner here. I’ve never had bone marrow before and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since!

Between the craft cocktails made from scratch, to the food, to the staff…everything was incredible. My friend and myself came and didn’t make reservations and they sat us at the bar and we had V who took care of us, along with Mora who was also incredibly accommodating. I will absolutely be back! Thank you so much for taking care of us!
