15 Best Italian Restaurants near Avon

“Great Place to visit for an outstanding meal while in the Vail area. The food was over the top! The service was outstanding as well! The owner is hands on and greeted us at the door and showed us to our table. It's too bad he is a Bruins fan, with me being from Pittsburgh that is! Highly recommend!“

“The pizza was amazing as always! I recommend the new appetizer, Garlic Knots - they're so yummy. They're always friendly and fast — the best service in town.“

“Amazing food and the atmosphere is cozy and private. We have the Bruschetta Pomodoro, Ceasar salad and 2 different Veal dishes. All the food was delicious and fresh. Highly recommend giving them a try.“

“Just Italian delicious!!“

“so delicious! from the amazing food to the excellent service, you can't miss at sauce!“

“There is misunderstanding with our reservation, but once it was brought to the managers attention, it was quickly resolved. Kristina was our server and she was nothing short of perfection. Her personality, knowledge, and attentiveness did not go unnoticed. This was our second time eating at this restaurant within a week, the food both times were amazing. We only had dessert the second time but tried them all and they were delicious. We will be back.“

“We really love their pizza. They also introduced a desert pizza that was one of the tastiest desserts ever created. Highly recommend it!“

“If you’re looking for the best pizza in Beaver Creek or Avon, Colorado, Pazzo’s Pizzeria is one of the easiest recommendations, especially for families after a long ski day.
I stopped in with my two daughters after skiing Beaver Creek, and it checked every box: great food, solid portions, fair pricing, and excellent service.
We ordered a medium supreme pizza and a Greek salad, which was perfect to split. Everything came out fresh and fast, and the quality was exactly what you want after a day on the mountain.
My younger daughter is a picky eater, so being able to order a cheese and pineapple slice was a huge win. They loaded it up with pineapple, and she liked it so much she went back for a second slice. Having that flexibility makes this place especially family-friendly.

“Great pizza, great wine, great pasta, great atmosphere. Simple as that. This place made our trip special. It was so nice to get away from Vail/BC. Highly recommend if you’re spending the day skiing. Was one of the highlights of the trip!.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“Zion has been great every time!! Great staff, awesome food, and excellent gluten free options.“

“We celebrated my daughter’s and soon to be son-in-law’s recent engagement on top of the mountain. Couldn’t ask for a better setting! The restaurant was beautiful and our seating was perfect (Party of 8) we had plenty of room to stretch out. Can’t say enough about our waiter, Rau’l! He took us on an epicurean journey! He even had a surprise for my daughter for dessert! Our sommelier, John, was so very helpful. He brilliantly paired the perfect wines for the entrees we had selected. Our meal was delicious and the service was impeccable! Couldn’t ask for a better evening. Thanks to the entire staff!“
