When you think of Italian food, you probably think of heavy pastas that are rich with cheese, oils and meats, decadent desserts and red wine. While those aspects do exist at Jovanina’s Broken Italian, so does much more. The seasonal cuisine at Jovanina’s breathes fresh, local ingredients into the traditional and non-traditional Italian dishes we all love.
Owners Jennifer and Jake Linzinmeir opened Jovanina’s in 2018 as their first restaurant together — each of them already individually owned restaurants in Telluride and Vail. The couple met while studying at Cornell University and were friends for many years before they began dating.
