Fun environment, great food. If you have an issue with dairy of any sort, like milk in a sauce, be sure to ask a couple of times. I have to say, the meal I ate was phenomenal, but there was milk in it, which my body does not tolerate, despite my having asked. Afterwards, on my way out, I gently mentioned this to The gentleman who had taken my order, whom I'd asked about whether or not there was any milk in the sauce. He apologized profusely and immediately said he was going to refund my whole bill, which I certainly did not expect. He was a real gentleman and I appreciated The gesture. I definitely will go back and highly recommend this place. And if you can eat milk, then definitely get the elk pasta.

As far as Italian food in Denver is concerned, Jovanina's is one of the few that know how to correctly cook pasta. The fish and pasta we had were delicious and the wine selection was on par (Italian wine is my favorite so I was happy so see some of my favs on the list). The desert portions are larger than normal which I appreciate. Perfect date night. The upstairs and downstairs vibes are TOTALLY different but both great. I do wish the wine cellar has a little more on the walls then some weird rug things.

We had a great meal here here. I had the Pizza which was excellent, my wife had a pasta dish she loved. Drinks were wonderful and we tried absinthe!! Highly recommend
