Between 3-4 stars. This place was walk-in ready for 530pm on a Saturday. It's bright and airy with an elevated but non-pretentious atmosphere. The bread basket was tasty! The waiter was friendly and attentive but not overly so. The mushroom linguini was flavorful with the chevere. My friends liked their daily special - which was a salmon penne dish with spicy marinara.

Tried this Italian spot recently and overall it was pretty good. I tried the chicken parm and the stuffed shells. The flavors were fine, but nothing that will knock your socks off. In my opinion, the deserts were delicious and the winners of the meal compared to the entrees I got. The crème brûlée was giant and tasty, the tiramisu was one of the best I’ve had and the chocolate torte was good too.

Great to see that some things survive the test if Aspen...Was there when it opened with the first chef Danny Purecelli.. We worked at Paddy Bugatti's before that.. I went on to college but came back to work there for several years during breaks.. Keep the food simple but please maintain the quality..Jeff Rood

Overall ok, the pasta is quite good, however the Steak Frites is not worth your money. The steak is super bland the sauce on top after taste like Kraft brown sauce from a bottle.

I'm not sure why this place got such low ratings on Yelp but my experience yesterday was the complete opposite for dinner. The place was packed and cozy. The food was delicious with good portion sizes and a drink list that is extensive. Just like any other Aspen restaurant, the prices are going to be what they are. This place is not as fancy as some may want for Aspen, it is more homey than that. Notable dishes: -Giant calamari -Pasta bolognese (with pappardelle pasta - pro tip! ) -Their lamb rack special (amazing)

This resturant is absolutely atrocious. I get there 10 mins before my reservation and i walk inside with my party of 5 and the lady is very polite and says it will be ready shortly. Perfect i go out side and we wait 5 mins and i come back to check and a guy is there and says your table is not ready while not looking so i ask the polite waitress and he doesn't let her speak and says "don't talk to her talk to me" so rude! then i get sit down the waiter is very kind and i order a simple cheese pizza my friends get pasta and my other friend gets a pizza (same order as me) the food gets here my friends get there order my friend who got the pizza got a perfect cheese pizza. MY PIZZA HAS NO SAUCE I WANT FO EMPHASIZE HOW BAD A PIZZA WITH NO SAUCE IS. The reason i don't get another or change it is because i am so scared of this guy. HIGHLY HIGHLY DONT SUGGEST TO COME HERE!

This place was pretty good for food. The prices were reasonable for the area it’s in but sadly they charged us for refills for coke which was kind of ridiculous. I do have a complaint about this place and it was that one of the bartenders were extremely rude to some customers. It seems like if you’re not from here you will get treated completely different. The bartender made a pretty bad comment at this one guy who was trying to order a beer. That same bartender was fixing his own drinks and even EATING at the bar. He would take a bite of his burger and then proceed to lick his fingers then go serve someone without washing them. This bartender was highly unprofessional and I’m sure that would not pass a safety food inspection. This bartender completely ruined this place, I personally will not be returning. P.S it was an older guy that was bartending, I guess he thought he was the owner and if somehow he is, this place needs to be shut down.

The people were so impatient, especially Stav the bartender, who was a racist and was just a disgusting person. We never leave a review on Google, but this time it went so far that we had to warn everyone to come near this place!
Delicious pizza and pasta! Excellent gluten free options for the gf members of our party. Friendly, competent, accommodating staff. Staff worked well together. Our kids devoured the lobster mac n cheese. Leftover pizza was just as good cold the next day.Moderately kid friendly, high chairs are available. No kids menu, no changing station in the bathrooms.

If you are looking for a restaurant that has good food but it's not ridiculously expensive - this is the place. Great appetizers, wood fired pizzas (gluten free too), pasta (gluten free available), fish, chicken and steak. It is a casual lively restaurant, favored by the locals.Cool place for lunch and apres ski as well. It's been in Aspen 30+ years and this says it all. We enjoyed the calamari, arugula salad, pasta, and trout. Very tasty. Lots of wines and cocktails to choose from.

We went for a casual lunch and we were very impressed. The staff were extremely kind and accommodating. The food was exceptional. The veggie pizza was so flavorful; so much so, that my kids enjoyed it, despite not usually eating spinach. The Caesar salad was one of the best we've tasted. The spaghettini bolognese was a table favorite as well. The 'Mezz burger was juicy and flavorful and the fries were perfectly crispy and seasoned well. The wood oven fired pita was loaded with flavorful veggies and chicken. The calamari was perfectly seasoned and crispy. Needless to say, we'll definitely be back the next time we're in town.
