What an amazing experience!
My mom and I are visiting my friend who lives in Aspen and she described this restaurant as the best espresso martini spot in town. Being that my mom is the only one out of us two that likes espresso martinis, she can vouch for that statement! Pricing isn't cheap but it isn't extremely expensive either. I would say that our group did not hold back and it was about $100 per person which included 2 cocktails, appetizer split 3 ways, an entree, and a dessert.
We had a group of 3 and chose to sit in the bar. Both food and staff were absolutely amazing.
First, for the staff - these guys were great! We never had an empty water cup, we hardly waited for food, and the conversations were awesome. Jumpy was so nice and attentive to our table. We asked about his travels and what brought him to Aspen. Great server! Our main server was also amazing but I, unfortunately, for his name.
For the food.... The photos almost speak for themselves! AMAZING. We shared everything you see pictured to get the best experience possible. We started with the calamari appetizer. This plate was surprisingly large and had a lot of food! This is the perfect starter for a group of 3-5. We also had a bread basket that was phenomenal (not pictured). We then divulged into Our 3 pastas: linguine positano, penne caprese, and the pea dish (I can't remember the name). All dishes were amazing but my top two are the linguine positano and the penne caprese. If you want a dish that is light on the marinara sauce, but still had that tomato base, then I would highly recommend the penne! The tomato mixed with the garlic and basil was to die for. Lastly, the linguine positano was also delicious but had a lighter, white wine, base to the dish. It also had garlic, tomato's, and shrimp. Absolutely delicious.
To end the night, we had dessert. All desserts were delicious. I was stuffed from the food, so I went with the vanilla gelato and it was the perfect finish to my meal!
Overall, I HIGHLY recommend you checking out this restaurant on your next visit to Aspen!
