Best Italian Restaurants in Lafayette

Always the best food and service. It is fun to share dishes with the table.

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!

Food was amazing, make reservations because it was very packed and they were turning people away. Also check the bar if you don’t make reservations, they don’t offer it to you.

We have tried numerous Italian restaurants in northern Colorado, at all price levels, from Boulder to Fort Collins, and this is the best restaurant to date - excellent freshly made mozzarella, interesting salads, and an outstanding entree (chicken piccata). We are both looking forward to returning and trying something else on their extensive menu!

We were a party of eight. Not all plates arrived at the same time, which is always awkward. My food was not hot. The beef was not so tender, but if you order a steak, you should get a steak knife instead of a regular table knife.
