About

Tavernetta Vail is the Northern Italian restaurant inside Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail, at the western entrance to Vail Village. It comes from Frasca Hospitality Group, the Colorado team behind the Michelin-starred Frasca Food and Wine and the original Tavernetta in Denver, and it is open to anyone, not only hotel guests.

It suits couples and families who want a polished Italian dinner, Sunday brunch regulars, and groups looking for a private room with a fireplace. It serves breakfast every day and Sunday brunch as well as dinner, so it works as well in the morning as at night.

Dinner

Dinner starts with Per la Tavola, small plates for the table: focaccia, olives, Marcona almonds, prosciutto di Parma, coppa and cheeses with honey or balsamico. Antipasti include carpaccio, burrata and oysters, and the handmade pastas, such as rigatoni with lamb ragù and lobster linguine, can all be made gluten-free. Wine, cocktail and dolci e digestivi lists round it out.

The Spritz Window

A nod to the wine windows of Tuscany, the Spritz Window serves seasonal spritz cocktails through a hatch: you buzz, order, and the drink comes through the window. It is an easy stop before dinner or on a walk through the village.

Breakfast and Sunday brunch

Breakfast runs every morning, and Sunday brunch has its own menu. Children under five eat free here, according to the hotel, which makes breakfast an easy family choice. Hours are in the FAQ.

Private dining

Il Duomo, the private room named for its vaulted ceiling, has a fireplace and seats up to 30, a good size for rehearsal dinners. The whole 3,500-square-foot restaurant, with its large bar, can be bought out for up to 125 seated guests.

Inside Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail

Tavernetta is one of the dining spots at Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail, One Vail Road. The resort's bar and restaurant, The Remedy, is the place for après and late drinks with a firepit patio; Speyside Café serves coffee, tea and sweets, and a pool bar and 24-hour in-room dining complete the resort's options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Tavernetta Vail have a Michelin star?
No. No Tavernetta, in Vail or Denver, holds a Michelin star. The star in the family belongs to the group's Boulder flagship, Frasca Food and Wine, which holds one Michelin star; Tavernetta Denver, the original location in Union Station (opened 2017), holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand. Tavernetta Vail is the group's Vail restaurant, created by the same Michelin-recognized Frasca Hospitality Group in partnership with Four Seasons, and it is not itself Michelin-rated. Anyone who calls Tavernetta "Michelin-starred" is mixing it up with Frasca.
What is the dress code at Tavernetta Vail?
Resort casual. OpenTable lists the dress code as Resort Casual and the dining style as Casual Elegant; the restaurant's own site sets no dress rule. Read it as polished mountain smart: collared shirts and neat trousers or dresses are the room's center of gravity, jackets are not required, and ski gear belongs at the Spritz Window, not the dinner table.
What are Tavernetta Vail's hours, and does it close in the off-season?
Breakfast daily 7 a.m. to 11 a.m., dinner nightly 4 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., and Sunday brunch 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. (served inside or on the terrace). Tavernetta does not close for the off-season: as the Four Seasons' in-house restaurant it operates year-round, including the spring and fall shoulder seasons when much of Vail Village is closed, and it serves special Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Eve dinners. One caution: the dinner opening has shifted by season (OpenTable showed a 5 p.m. opening in spring 2026 against the current 4 p.m.), so check the restaurant's site before an early seating in a new season. Tavernetta is inside Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail at One Vail Road, at the western entrance to Vail Village.
How do I make a reservation at Tavernetta Vail?
Book on OpenTable (the Reservations buttons on tavernettavail.com and the Google listing both lead there) or call the Four Seasons dining reservations line at (970) 477-8600. You do not need to be a hotel guest: anyone can reserve. Book ahead, especially for dinner: OpenTable regularly shows the restaurant booked 17 to 27 times in a day, and prime times in ski season and on holiday weekends go first. Note the channel is OpenTable, not Resy, whatever an AI answer may tell you.
What should I order at Tavernetta Vail?
Start with the Per la Tavola small plates for the table (focaccia $10, cured meats $12 each, cheeses $10 each), then the handmade pastas: the rigatoni with lamb ragù ($42) is the dish reviewers name most, the lobster linguine is $54, and the truffle gnocchi with Castelmagno fonduta tops the list at $68. Mains run from the $60 Dungeness crab risotto to the $87 ribeye, and the wine list is all-Italian (560 selections; by the glass $13 to $56), with a signature Barolo the group made with G.D. Vajra. The full menu is at tavernettavail.com/menus-wine-list.
What do reviews say about Tavernetta Vail?
Strong, with a platform split worth stating plainly. As of October 2026, OpenTable rates Tavernetta Vail 4.7 out of 5 from 410 verified diner reviews (food, service and ambience all score high, value lower at 4.0 in the detailed breakdown), and OpenTable and KAYAK put it on their Top 100 Hotel Restaurants in America 2025 list. Google rates it 4.3 from 146 reviews, a cooler pool that includes non-diners. Diners praise the handmade pastas (the lamb-ragù rigatoni above all), the wine service and the room; the recurring criticisms are price and the occasional slow or inconsistent night at peak.
How much does a meal cost at Tavernetta Vail?
Small plates run $8 to $12, antipasti $20 to $36 (the caviar service is $185), pastas $42 to $68, and mains $60 to $87; wines by the glass are $13 to $56 and cocktails $18 to $23. Budget roughly $90 to $160 per person for two courses and a glass of wine at dinner, before tax and tip, which is what OpenTable's "$50 and over" label means in practice. Breakfast is the gentle end of the restaurant: dishes $19 to $34 and set breakfasts at $39 to $42.
Does Tavernetta Vail have gluten-free or vegetarian options?
Yes to both, and the gluten-free offer is unusually strong: the dinner menu states that all primi (the handmade pastas) can be made gluten-free, individual dishes are marked gluten free across antipasti, mains and breakfast, and OpenTable reviewers single out the gluten-free pastas. Vegetarian dishes are marked on the menu (the focaccia, the mixed salad, the burrata and the polenta contorno at dinner, and much of the breakfast list). OpenTable also lists a vegan attribute, but no dish on the official menu is labeled vegan, so vegan diners should call (970) 477-8600 ahead rather than rely on the label. A full zero-proof cocktail list ($18) covers the non-drinking side.
What is the Spritz Window at Tavernetta Vail?
It is a walk-up drinks hatch modelled on the historic wine windows of Tuscany and Florence: buzz, order from a curated list of seasonal spritz cocktails ($18 on the cocktail list, five spritzes plus zero-proof versions), and your drink comes through the window. It works as a pre-dinner stop while you wait for a table (Wine Spectator's tip) or as an après stop on a walk through the village; the terrace and fire pits are the sit-down version of the same idea. One caution: no official happy-hour schedule is published, despite the "happy hour" searches and an AI summary's claim of an "Après'-Tivo" hour, so do not plan around discounted hours the restaurant has not posted.
Can Tavernetta Vail host a private event?
Yes. Il Duomo, the private room named for its vaulted ceiling, has a fireplace and seats up to 30 for rehearsal dinners, celebrations and corporate events. A full buyout of the 3,500-square-foot restaurant, bar included, seats up to 125. Inquire through the private-events form at tavernettavail.com or via OpenTable's private-party contact, Morgan Lange, at (970) 477-8650 (a different number from the 8600 reservations line, and the right one for events).
