"Translating to “two hands” in Italian, Duemani offers a refined Mediterranean-inspired menu celebrating flavors from the Italian and French coasts. In 2022, Carlos Solorzano-Smith, a managing partner at Aspen Hospitality Group and longtime local sommelier, appointed Aspen native Jesus Alvarado as executive chef. Alvarado’s winter menu draws on his 10 years of experience at Matsuhisa. Must-order items include the scallop crudo, tuna tartare, grilled octopus salad, and branzino with puttanesca sauce (sizable options “from the land” are also offered)." - Katie Shapiro
