Some may be surprised to find it’s a top romance destination—but after all that outdoor exercise, who wouldn’t want to repair to a luxurious hotel room or a cozy, firelit bar?

Excellent pizza with a nice selection of local brews... and it appeared to be a favorite of the locals.

If you're a fan of Chef Boy-ar-dee in a can then Acquolina is your place to be! However, if you expect a five star meal that comes with five star prices then steer clear of this highly overrated dump!!! The food was terrible while the atmosphere and service were mediocre at best.

Campo di Fiori

Reviewed By Gourmang

My wife and I had dinner at Campo on a quiet, mid-week night and had an enjoyable time. The room was a bit old school Italian, and seating a bit tight, but the service was great and made up for an average room. Good wine selection, and an interesting menu were all appealing. The apps tasted great, with a variety of cured meats and salads, plus other options. The mains were uneven. My wife loved her mushroom risotto, but my pounded veal could have been cooked a bit less, and was not much food for the money. Overall a good experience, but compared to two other restaurants in the same complex, it didn't quite measure up.

Casa Tua

Reviewed By yoginiT2

I really wanted to like this place. It’s so cute with its outdoor seating and decor inside but the service is just not the warm cozy feel that you would expect from a place named “Casa Tua”. We reserved an outside table and I think we would have felt more relaxed and comfortable outside. We ended up inside because there were available tables earlier and we were hungry. Unfortunately it took forever to get our drinks ordered and then we weren’t treated fairly. The guy that ended up “taking over” our table was nice and informative about the menu but he wasn’t even the one who finished up our dessert order or the one to bring our final check. All in all we felt this place was snobby and they just wanted to get us out of there. The food had great flavors but the portions were small and definitely not worth the prices... especially the wine prices! I would say maybe try this for lunch or only sit outside for dinner. If you like to get dressy and spend a lot of money on a tiny meal with overpriced wine, then Casa Tua is the place for you. It’s not my Casa Tua and I won’t be back.

Mezzaluna, meaning “half-moon” in Italian, is an independent, locally owned and operated restaurant serving modern Italian cuisine in Aspen. Our large Italian marble bar and our beautiful patio are key features of our restaurant, and our wood-burning pizz

The wild caught salmon with cauliflower mash and seared Brussels sprouts was excellent, as was the peach and avocado salad. However the pan seared bronzini was over cooked. The accompanying pea risotto was overwhelming in quantity and the cherry tomatoes were almost non existent. The waitstaff was excellent.

Brunelleschi's Dome Pizza

Reviewed By Trevor B

Four of us were looking for a simple meal on a Monday evening and thought we would try "Bruno's. Upon entering the restaurant, which is located on the first level, the atmosphere was warm and inviting on a cold winter evening. Decor is rustic Italian and typical of many simple Italian eateries around the world. The restaurant was quite busy. Service was friendly and efficient. The food menu was as expected containing typical Italian fare. We felt the food was of average quality. Prices were reasonable.

Clark's Oyster Bar

Reviewed By zgshaw

Clarks is an oyster bar, you can sit at the bar similar to a Sushi restaurant, and they willshuck to your hearts content. The rest of the restaurant is open and inviting, but extremely popular, make sure to reserve your table to insure that you get in. I had the seared scallops, which were done to perfection. A great salad started the meal along with a nice glass of wine from a good looking wine list. I deal with a lot of guests from a near by Owners club, and Clark's is definitely on the "A" list of favorite restaurants. If you are an old time visitor to Aspen, it is located where Little Annies used to be

New York Pizza

Reviewed By Tom C

I haven’t lived in New York in years but the only thing I miss is the pizza. There is a definite polarization with people when it comes to pizza. Some swear by Chicago style and others New York style. I think the slice I got here was the best I’ve had in a very long time. The crust is perfect and they use good cheese. When you pick up a slice it should not be soggy and droopy but should stand up. I read some reviews that said the staff could be rude but it was the opposite in my case, even though they were very busy they joked around and made it a great experience.
