Casa Tua Aspen

Went to CasaTua for thanksgiving week with family, we had a reservation for it. Everything was great. Burrata is a must for the table as appetizer. I ordered my usual Aperol Spritz and had Cacio e Pepe as my main. One of my favorites places in Aspen to have dinner 💖

The customer service was warm and friendly, everyone was so nice. The food was absolutely amazing including the desserts! The atmosphere was lovely, and sitting outside made it the perfect experience.

Regulars of Miami, Casa Tua12 years, it feels like home away from home, in a decor adapted to Aspen. We found the quality of our favorite dishes, the elegance and coziness of a gourmet Italian restaurant. Bartenders were perfect and we would like to highlight the stellar attention of Pavia and Jackie for our large table. It was incredible to see "our" Dagmar in Aspen, it made us feel extatic of joy, like a family cousin you meet again ! Being a patron at Casa tua is like a family! The lamb was cooked to the T, Milanese, fish and our appetizers were fabulous. Thank you for carrying chartreuse, such a great drink in winter! We loved and highly appreciated our evening, this diner venue is one of our top 3 in Aspen, a must go ❤️

Food was great, well seasoned and decent portion sizes. The service was a little odd, when I asked our server what is in each dish(its all in Italian, and we didnt understand it) she kinda gave 2 word answers like "its pasta" or "thats a steak" wasn't very helpful at all. We had to google our dinner. I asked for an iced tea while the other girls ordered cocktails (being DD) and never asked if I wanted a refill while other got multiple cocktails. Overall it was a mediocre experience. Would i ho back? Maybe to get my food to go but thats it.

Casa Tua is such a great ambience. Service is 10/10! Their portions are actually very sizable! I would try their calamari and pistachio gelato (the gelato is good for like 4 people) The complimentary bread basket comes with an olive dip, sooo good!

Must-do date night spot during your Aspen stay! Romantic atmosphere, impeccable service... you blink and your food has arrived. They go the extra mile to make the experience special... Espresso martini was one of the best I've ever had. Love! For what's it's worth I'm from NJ/NYC and can confidently say this Italian spot holds a candle.

I’ve been going to Casa Tua’s multiple locations for a long time, and it has become an anniversary tradition for me and my boyfriend to go to the Miami location. This year however we decided to have our anniversary dinner in Aspen instead. One thing that we found off-putting was that when we asked the hostess if she could take our coats, she took mine but refused to take my boyfriends for some reason. Secondly, as I’ve mentioned, we’ve had many anniversary dinners at Casa Tua Miami and their attention to detail is always on point— rose petals scattered on the table, a “happy anniversary” message with our desert; these were all lacking during our Aspen visit. That being said the food was excellent as expected. Drinks were good as well; I enjoyed their special Casa Tua gin and tonic. The pasta was perfectly cooked and you can tell it’s homemade. The beef tenderloin with foie gras is one of my favorites, I order it every time; while it was excellent and perfectly medium-rare as well, I did notice that the sauce was broken. Coats aside, the service was generally good but nothing special. Our waiter was very polite but at times it did feel like we were being rushed. The space is not as cozy as the Miami location, which is to be expected as the Miami is the original “casa”😅, but the decor is very chic. The atmosphere might’ve been perfect if the dress code was enforced… (hoodies, baseball caps, etc.) Overall, we enjoyed our dinner. Though for a nice restaurant with a high price tag, I would expect more as the restaurant holds sentimental value to me and I have experienced better.

I realize I am an outlier here giving a five star when it mostly has an average 4.1 rating, and I only had one dish, but it was the Pollo Piri Piri, and I have to admit it was delicious—the chicken was tender, the roasted potatoes cooked to perfection, and even though I didn’t like the sauce that came with it (because it reminded me too much of Sriracha), the sauce was off to the side and therefore didn’t ruin the dish and quite frankly I know most people like the Sriracha flavor. Their bread with olive oil and olive tapenade was yummy. Service from Stephan R. at the bar was attentive.

Came by Casa Tua for a weekday lunch. Reservations are very easy to come by for weekday lunch although incredibly difficult for weekends and dinner. We made one directly on the restaurants website. Interior is lively and busy, and feels cozy despite being a large space. We sat on the patio which was pleasant. The large umbrellas offered ample coverage when it started to pour rain. The service was decent. The entire restaurant was teeming with staff everywhere. Our waiter was very nice but some of the host staff and others were a bit standoffish. The interior decor is homey but elevated. The food was solid. Pricing is extremely expensive but at least you get heaping portions for the price. The apps were nothing special and the fried calamari was pretty bland. The pastas were the star of the show for us. Each one could easily feed 2-3 people. The cacio pepe was a cheese bomb and a lot sharper than what you usually get. The bolognese was hearty and filling. After all said and done, it was definitely worth the hype for me.

Everything was absolutely delicious, I'm surprised it was so quiet when we went at 8:30 on a Saturday. The portions are quite decent so if you're getting starters, I recommend possibly sharing some of the entrees. They had white and black truffle fondue specials and we went with the black-- the fondue itself was pretty underwhelming. The carpaccio and prosciutto were good starters for the table to share. The milanesa is huge and one of the best I've had, absolutely recommend it! The calico e peppe was really good, the lobster linguine wasn't anything special. All in all, great spot. Service was good, all the ladies who served us were so sweet. The place is definitely nice and has a lovely bar that looks like a great place to have some drinks and catch a game when you want a more quiet and elevated evening but don't want to miss the big game. Great cocktail menu too!!

Disappointed with the experience here. This was our final dinner in Aspen and we went all out. We ordered the chefs special which was a Fiorentina steak (not sure if I spelled that right) that was lacking flavor. It was supposed to come with mashed potatoes which weren't brought out until I asked the waiter about them. He said he forgot to bring them. I also asked for horse radish for the steak and by the time they brought it out the steak was cold. The only thing I liked was the pasta fungi, which we had plenty of it leftover. We had asked for boxes and the staff took everything back and boxed everything up for us. When they brought the boxes back I asked if everything was in there and they reassured it was. Sure enough when i went to reheat the pasta today there was none in any of the boxes, it wasn't even packed up. So they forgot to give us the leftover pasta which was the only thing we were looking forward to eating. The leftover mashed potatoes were mixed in with the leftover vegetables in the same box and were also ruined. We definitely will not be back and it is unfortunate we had high hopes for this place. We have enjoyed much better fine dining steak houses and this has got to be the worst one yet.

Casa tua was amazing! The restaurant is pretty large inside but still felt very intimate for a birthday dinner. The log cabin and lights is charming right in the heart of Aspen walking distance from all hotels and the slopes. Not pictured was the home made bolognese because we ate it so fast!! It was our favorite item we tried! Definitely get this! The beef carpaccio was flavorful and nice. The steak was cooked perfectly for my taste and the foie gras ontop was delicious and made the entre stand out from other beef tenderloins! A nice twist we loved. Even though the restaurant was packed the hostess was very nice and accommodating and helpful when we arrived a little before our reservation.

Great food so romantic place. I enjoyed the calamari my pasta with crab it was delicious

I'm not sure how this place rating is so low. I almost didn't go. The food was soooo amazing. Michelle the waitress made the experience unforgettable. Every dish was mouth savoring.

FANTASTIC FOOD and SERVICE from the waiter - 5 stars TERRIBLE hostess - 1 star We really wanted to eat here and were turned away rudely by the hostess even though it was dead - then we decided to just overcome her and sit and we're glad we did - just go here and don't worry about the bs at the host stand

Never leave bad reviews, but I felt very inclined to & wanted to warn others -- Honestly this restaurant isn't even worth the headache you will encounter with the several calls from the managers and staff. We made a reservation here for my whole family a month in advance for NYE to not be even notified of a cancellation that one of their employees who no longer works there did. The only reason I found out it was cancelled was a day before I tried to modify the reservation to less people and it said your reservation has been cancelled. After 2 in person confirmations from the nice general manager, to receiving a call and notification on the day of NYE from another manager that your reservation is cancelled and not confirmed. Also, for them to tell you that they have a $280 price fixed menu day of. Extremely unhappy and dissatisfied with this experience. Have dined here in the past and would recommend eating elsewhere.

Pricy but good wine list, tasty food and good service. Risotto was an mis but regular pasta dishes were delicious.

My star rating: * Totally avoid. Why are you even open? ** Avoid unless the last restaurant on earth. *** Several important misses. Not recommended. **** Very enjoyable experience. Highly recommended. ***** Hits every mark of perfection. PROS We sat outside and the setting was wonderful. Service was excellent. Our entrees were amazing. CONS -none-

Had a large group dinner one evening and it did not disappoint at all. Loved it! Here are my takeaways: Environment Beautiful and intimate space. Since I was with a large group we were able to dine upstairs where I learned is usually reserved for members and large events. It was beautiful with low lights and a great ambiance. Great for a date night. I loved the art on the walls. Service The food was served buffet styled so I really didn't get much face time with servers. When we did eventually sit the server was friendly and accommodating and made sure we got what we needed. The bartender was really great and welcoming and knew what he was doing. Very social, warm and polite - would definitely go back to just get a drink from him - always great to have good energy bartenders. Food and Drinks The food was wonderful. Everything was delicious and tasty. I wont name everything here but go look at my pictures and just know that everything I've posted was great. From the pasta to the salmon to the asparagus - all good! lol I was pleasantly surprised. Overall Loved the ambiance and the food and I will definitely stop by whenever I make a trip back to aspen.

Beautiful cocktails and food! Super cute patio space with views of Aspen mountain. Classy and fun environment

We stopped here for lunch just before our flight out of Aspen and it was everything I was hoping for. The restaurant was lived up to its name, well designed and made you feel at home once inside. The service was impeccable and super attentive. We were in a rush and the food came out in perfect timing. I started with a minestrone soup and it was so tasty. For my main I opted for miky's salad and side salmon because I didn't want to feel too full with a full travel day ahead. It was the perfect way to end my stay in Aspen. My brother got the burger and my bf got the Cacio e Pepe with lamb and loved if. We will definitely be back next year for dinner service when we are back in Aspen.

This place was awesome! Very comfortable but romantic vibe! The service was absolutely amazing! & I definitely recommend the Branzino and for dessert the pistachio gelato.

Went to Casa Tua expecting fine dining and great service.ended up leaving disappointed, I had asked for a lemon for the fish and balsamic vinegar because the fish was dry asf!!! I had asked 3 different waiters and after 15 minutes when they finally brought it they brought me sliced limes instead of a lemon for my fish and ended up with no balsamic vinaigrette that I also asked for 3 times! My Diet Coke was completely flat and when the server heard me say this he had a nasty look on his face and seemed angry about it. Not only did I waste a nice outfit on this outing it was not worth the expensive check from a class A restaurant. Will not be returning and wasting more outfits on them!

Here for late lunch, really enjoyed the service and the food. The bolognese was really good, avocado quinoa salad was awesome, the wagyu burger, although not real wagyu, was pretty good and the mushroom truffle pasta was really good. We enjoyed our experience and would happily return.

Staff amazing. Delicious food. Chef accommodated a special request and then came out to make certain all was excellent. Above and beyond!

Expensive, but that's to be expected in Aspen. However, the food should be good. Their Eggplant Parmesan was the worst I ever had. Over baked and dry. Mostly cheese. Not much eggplant. No offer for refills of iced tea.

Fun scene and ambience. Good food. The pastas and branzino are always tasty. Good wine list.

Last night we dined at Casa Tua. The food was good, but what stood out was the professionalism of the staff. It's a bit crowded and I counted four servers, a bartender, a sommelier and manager working my part of the floor. A bit of soup accidentally spilled on a ladies coat and the servers were quick to help her. Unfortunately, what was obviously an innocent accident due to the crowded area became a spectacle as the expressed sympathy for the lady's coat fed her predatory instinct and she was berating all the staff that were trying earnestly to assist her. I couldn't hear all she said but she ranted about a $2k sweater and x thousand dollar coat. Her behavior turned from reasonable to unreasonable faster than I would expect. The management was excellent and the staff were amazing. I wanted to comment while I was there, but opted not to. Anyway, the staff and management gave a clinic on managing a small mishap while the lady turned molehills into mountains.

We love going to Casa Tua whenever we are in town. Friendly staff, great service and a wonderful vibe. The food this somewhat lacking. Everything could use a bit of flavor. I had the beet carpaccio and the trout. The trout had no flavor.The dessert was ok. I had the lemon tart.

I'm surprised to see so many poor reviews for Casa Tua! Perhaps the lunch and dinner service differ? I had a wonderful experience at Casa Tua for dinner. Miky's salad was the perfect yet complex arugula salad. The bread was great, especially the breadsticks. My bolognese was phenomenal -- rich yet not too filling. While I left some restaurants in Aspen feeling overly stuffed, the food at casa tua was satisfying yet not too rich. The homemade sorbet with a glass of amaro was a great way to end the meal! I will note that our waitress did miss a couple of items we ordered (extra app and extra dessert). English didn't seem to be her first language. Since the food we did get was so good, we were perfectly happy to forgo those supplemental dishes.

Amazing location, beautiful restaurant but the worst staff. Our server quite obviously judged us immediately and made us feel less than. She would hardly look at us. She never came to ask how our me was. She told everyone around us the specials except us. Overrated IMO.

Such a Disappointing Dining Experience at Casa Tua I recently dined at Casa Tua and unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. Although the arugula salad was a highlight, the vegetarian tomato basil maccheroni pasta was a letdown. The first attempt was undercooked, and even after a replacement, the second serving was undercooked too we could not chew it & it lacked flavor. To make matters worse, the addition of truffle, unbeknownst to us, incurred an exorbitant $100 charge. The overall ambiance left much to be desired, and it seemed evident that the restaurant prioritizes profit over customer satisfaction. The lack of care for patrons' dining experience was apparent, making it clear that Casa Tua may prioritize monetary gains over providing a quality dining experience. Proceed with caution if considering a visit to this restaurant.

Everything. The food, the staff, the feel was spot on. Our first Casa Tua meal was on Miami Beach early 2002 and other than on MB we ate outdoors on a warm night and Aspen it was indoors in a June snow, these are gems.

Location? check. A great menu selection? check and check on great cookery. Patio (bar or family dining)? check and check. Ok. How 'bout Somm!? Check (2 were on property in off-season)! Ok!? how 'bout a speak-easy-ish inside bar that you may have not been aware of for too many trips!? CHECK!! And, AND, the bar was hosted by Pekl and Maria, 2 pro mixologists, that extended my stay thru dessert by being so fun and engaging. Between them and Derek (one of the Somms) my delicious food was masterfully paired; cocktail with apps, reds with dinner and the Somm's perfect dessert wine pairing. The path thru a great meal involves a great skilled kitchen. BUT, if you skimp on your Pekl's, Maria's and Derek's, I'm gone early and stick to a standard cocktail, a Tito's Press (yep!). Passionate and fun mixologists and an informed Somm whose excited to share, I stick and I up that TIP and I start SHARING BACK to anyone who'll listen. Thank you Casa Tua management for putting the work in. :)

We had an amazing experience at Casa Tua! The fettuccine has to be one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had. We also had a delicious NY Strip Steak with chimichuri sauce I forgot to capture. The waiters and manager were very attentive and made sure we had a great experience. The ambiance and setting was an additional bonus that made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend visiting when in Aspen!

Casa Tua never disappoints. Just returned from a trip to Aspen and the service here is unmatched. Great food and decor. My wife loves this place.

This place is WAY WAY overrated and overpriced. The fondue with crispy bread was OK. The $160 fish cooked in salt for some damn reason was absolutely tasteless. Then there was the veal which honestly tasted rubbery. Give me a break. I honestly don't mind paying exorbitant prices as long as I can walk away feeling not ripped off. Ambience was good but who cares with terrible food. Take my advise and get comparable food at your local Casa Olivo Gardino. Lol.

We didn't check the reviews on this restaurant and just walked in and ordered... worst mistake ever‍ We ordered a panini and added a side of chicken to. The chicken was sooooo dry and smelled so bad. Since I was pregnant and so hungry I asked for some sauce to eat it with but even with the sauce we couldn't eat it. The pannini bread was sooo dry.

The service was great really make me feel welcome. I had my 3 month baby with me they help to accommodate him. My husband got burger and fries he enjoy it. I got a Tagliatelle bolognese was tasteful. But give three stars for the high price for a small dishes.

The food was absolutely delicious and the serving size portions were very generous, we actually took part of our meal home to enjoy the next day. The wait staff and sommelier were amazing and made the experience a wonderful evening. This is the 5th time we have dined at Casa Tua Aspen and we are never disappointed. Thank you for continuing to serve great food in a beautiful atmosphere with caring staff. We appreciate you..

Terrible service by Manuel. We were in Aspen for a bachelorette party and I had booked months in advance. All they do is try to upsell you on the food and drinks. The food wasn't great and the staff just stood around and stared at us. Don't go here.

Delicious spot in the heart of Aspen but it is quite expensive. The menu is extensive with Italian dishes, sharable plates, and large entrees. Two patios with outdoor seating and a club upstairs.

Not the most constructive review, but the food was simply not to par. Ingredients were good but execution was disappointing. Service however was great!

I thought the food was very good. My husband thought it was just OK, nothing to write home about. He ordered the lamb ravioli and I enjoyed a bucanti cream with pepper. Little overpriced. Crowed seating. The service was great. Lots of staff working and 2 that were at the host desk doing nothing except standing there to look good. The girl was way too made up. Not a warm welcoming feeling.

We had a wonderful dinner at Casa Tua. Service and recommendations from our server were great and loved how all the pastas are made fresh in house. The cocktails were wonderful and the restaurant is extremely inviting and cozy. Expensive as to expect for Aspen. The only negative I have is how close all the tables are put together.

Hands down best dinner in Aspen! The service is top tier and the ambiance and quiet and chic.

Food was amazing! Everything came out hot and quickly. The server was a bit rude. He seemed irritated by us even though our bill was going to constitute a large tip.

Ordered two different types of pasta, the fettuccine with wild mushrooms and black truffle, and the ravioli elk ragu. Both of these dishes were underwhelming.  I'll definitely give it another chance eventually but from our experience it was overpriced and not the best tasting dishes for being Italian fine dining in Aspen, CO.

AVOID THIS PLACE. THEY MANIPULATED MY TIP! Long story short, this restaurant (or its particular staff members) changed my written tip amount to charge a higher total amount to your credit card company. I was at the restaurant week on 10/9/22 with a friend (Table 1/1, receipt stamp time 7:52pm - I have server name too). We arrived late that night in Aspen and wanted to dine near our hotel - without reservation, we got seated at a 2-person table near the entrance. We happily shared a few dishes and wine, and come late October I was fondly thinking back to the trip. THEN, I saw my card bill and realized they sneakily changed my tip amount. The original total bill, inclusive of the tip that I wrote down, was $273.11. The charge I saw on my bill was $283.14. I had a photo taken of my receipt at the time (with tip) and was doing a thorough read of the card bill to discover this, but it was small enough a tweak that I wouldn't have noticed otherwise. Given they changed this ever so slightly that it's not noticeable, there might be more customers they might have done this to. They didn't even pick up the call when I called. It might be one waiting staff that went rogue - but if you must visit, I'd be very careful and keep photo proofs of your final receipts.

We were hustled in by a young Russian gentleman who was standing outside the place saying the food was great. They must have been desperate for customers as Ive never seen this before. It was like it was a peep show in Times Sq years ago. We felt hustled once inside as well as they kept trying to push dishes and expensive wine on us. We settled on the Bronzino for two at a price of $140!!!!! Way overpriced fish for two and it was very plain and mediocre. They asked us if we wanted coffee or dessert which we NEVER have, at which time they brought out two huge deserts hoping we would cave under pressure eating the deserts. God knows how many people they attempted to sell these deserts to, serving these things to numerous tables. Mediocre and extremely over priced restaurant who hustle you from the time you walk in to the time youre ready to pay and leave!!!!

Tourist trap. Avoid unless desperate/starving for anything like I was lol. Service was pretty good but the food is so basic and overpriced.

We visited Casa Tua Aspen this evening with our family. In a word, it was extraordinary! The service was impeccable and the food was absolutely wonderful. While every item was delicious, do not miss their amazing Branzino! The space was also beautiful and very comfortable. Thank you to Casa Tua and your wonderful chefs and staff for taking such good care of us and for enabling a perfect evening.

Every time I'm in aspen I pay a visit to casa tua. It is a very charming place with really great food. Service is great and the food has yet to disappoint

Came here on a Friday night while on a business trip! The place was super busy! We sat upstairs- which seemed to be more lively than the downstairs bar area! Right away our waiter was attentive and came to introduce himself! We looked over the menu briefly before deciding our orders. I opted for the Lemon Chicken dish with fingerling potatoes. My co-worker chose the Branzino Casa Tua style. I have to say our food came out quickly and was still hot and fresh when it came to our table. My chicken was nice and juicy and tasted beautifully lemony. My favorite part was how garlicky the potatoes were. They also seemed to be tossed in rosemary which gave a nice flavor contrast to the lemon taste. For dessert we shared a Tiramisu with a few berries and mint which was so yummy! Service was excellent, our waiter refilled our drinks and made sure we were doing okay during our meal! Food was fresh and delicious and all at a reasonable price! Will be back next time I am visiting in the area!

Service was good, but the food ... tuna tartare drenched in olive oil and sun dried tomatoes, pasta overcooked and the chicken dry dry dry. The worst place I ever ate in!

Manager working there, with a mustache, is rude and unaccommodating. Put us at a table at the end of the restaurant and claimed all other tables were going to be occupied - which was a complete lie. Food is also subpar.

We had inside dining during Covid. The restaurant was beautiful with all the Xmas decorations. The asparagus soup was very bland and no seasoning what so ever. The pasta with zucchini was also very tasteless and not hot. The Bolognese and the Gnocchi was just ok. I've had better. Our server Marius was very dry and not too friendly. I was generous with 3 stars. That was mostly for the pannacotta. That was delicious.
