A fire broke in Tavernetta, the brand-new restaurant from the Frasca team, around 9:15 p.m. on Thursday night, forcing the restaurant to evacuate and close for a few days, as 5280 first reported.
“This was not my first restaurant evacuation, unfortunately, but it was definitely the smoothest,” Tavernetta publicist Sarah Abell, who just happened to be at the restaurant eating dinner at the time of the fire, said.
The Denver Fire Department took care of the fire, which they believe to have started in the walls, very quickly. No one was hurt, and the kitchen equipment was unaffected. The restaurant was so impressed by the department’s swift reaction that it will be sending some Tavernetta eats to the DFD as a thank you when it’s back up and running.
Abell said that the team hopes to re-open early next week once it gets everything put back together.
