Acova is writing the next chapter of one of Denver’s great neighborhoods. An iconic locale in a historic district, Acova builds on the rich story of “The Northside” (now known as LoHi) by breathing new life into an address with soul. Even its name pays homage to its South Broadway sibling restaurant The Hornet, while tipping a cap to its storied Italian predecessor Patsy’s. The place you bring friends and family from out of town to show them what Denver’s all about. The place you go for that after work cocktail, or your go to date spot, whether it’s your first or 50th date. The place you get the group together on a Saturday night, and where you recover together on a Sunday morning. Acova is the next Highlands institution, bearing vintage flair and contemporary charm that threads the past into the future. Acova brings you back time and again because you are part of this story now, and Acova is part of yours.

    We love Acova. We always have an enjoyable dinner every time we go there! The staff are friendly and helpful. The food and drinks are the best. The atmosphere is enjoyable. This was the first time we were seated on the bar side. While it wasn’t as wonderful as the dining room side, we still enjoyed ourselves and our dinner and have no complaints!

    This is a great restaurant with excellent food and service. It is a bonus that the menu is almost entirely gluten free.

    Great service but the food was bland. The blackened salmon was overcooked and had no flavor. The short ribs were good but the risotto was under seasoned The Calamari was unique and good but was primarily sauce with a little calamari.

    Our waiter made our night so fun. We were celebrating my birthday and had lots of appetizers including the beer cheese nachos, artichoke fritters, Diablo eggs & the crab cakes. Then went on to our entrees including the short ribs which were excellent, and everything our waiter recommended. Great night and will be back.

    Cobb salad is awful and the blackened salmon was overcooked in some places and raw in one spot. No clue how. Very underwhelming. Won’t be going back.
