"From the team behind Frasca Food & Wine, Tavernetta in the Four Seasons Vail puts an upscale Alpine twist on Italian trattorias. This is a spot that's tailor-made for date nights or special occasions, with red banquettes ideal for celebrating big life milestones—or just a successful day on the mountain. Start with burrata and prosciutto orbeef carpaccio, then dig intorigatoni with lamb ragu, or perfectly al dente linguini with lobster and Calabrian chili. The wine list is nothing short of world class (think Piedmont and Tuscany standouts alongside Champagne), and the staff will guide you to the perfect bottle. And if you're just looking for a quick apres ski after a day on the slopes, they've got a Florentine-style wine window for spritzes." - Kim Fuller
