Acova, sibling to The Hornet on South Broadway, has a vision of catering to everyone.
And it’s name is a good place to start: “Cova” means “nest” in Italian. Clever, right?
Owners Sean and Betsy Workman have created an all-encompassing environment and globally inspired menu to welcome everyone into their “nest,” located in the legendary Patsy’s Inn location in the Highland neighborhood, according to a press release.
Patsy’s closed in August 2016, after 95 years of serving Italian cuisine in Denver. Its owners, Ron Cito and Kim DeLancey, cited health reasons for shutting down.
The Workmans, who opened Acova in June, preserved much of the interior of the historic building but added modern touches, like steel supports and a play area adjacent to the garden-like patio.
They also have incorporated their health-conscious, gluten-free lifestyle into a fresh, sustainable menu. On the menu: Seared Ahi + Polenta Cakes with Togarashi seared tuna, parmesan, spicy carrot-jalapeño slaw, lime and rice wine vinaigrette; and Honey Stung Fried Chicken, a buttermilk-battered chicken breast with whipped potatoes, spicy greens and sausage gravy, topped with a honey-cayenne drizzle. Desserts include a cinnamon streusel Very Berry Cobbler a la mode.
A creative list of cocktails includes The Misty, a Live-a-Lot organic wine slushie, and a Kombucha Cooler with Montanya Platino Rum, simple syrup, muddled limes & basil, and kombucha on the rocks.
Acova: 3651 Navajo St., Denver; 303-736-2718; acovarestaurant.com; Mon.-Fri., 11 a.m-12 a.m., Sat.-Sun. 10 a.m.-12 a.m.; brunch Sat.-Sun. 10 a.m.-3 p.m.; happy hour 3-6 p.m.
