10 Best Italian Restaurants near Snowmass Village

“The place is absolutely phenomenal. Great atmosphere on a Friday evening with live entertainment. Staff was very attentive to our requests. Food had us craving more with every bite. My fiance and I want to come back with friends and family to share the experience!“

“Sam’s restaurant is conveniently located at the top of the village express lift, offering a unique dining experience that is far from a quick bite. For those considering a visit, it is highly advisable to make a reservation in advance due to its popularity. Once seated, be prepared to spend at least an hour enjoying your meal, as the pace is more leisurely.

The service, while generally friendly, can be a bit on the slow side and occasionally confusing. This is primarily due to the high volume of customers in relation to the limited number of staff members available to serve them. Despite these challenges, the food at Sam's stands out as being of higher quality than the typical buffet-style restaurants that dot the mountain, albeit at a noticeably higher price point.

If you're in search of a quick lunch, this may not be the best option. However, if you’re looking to take a longer, more relaxing break, Sam’s offers a charming sit-down atmosphere complemented by stunning views of the surrounding landscape. It could be the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy a meal if you have the time to spare.“

“From the moment we walked into Casa D’ Angelo, we knew we were in for a special lunch. The ambiance of the place promised an authentic Italian dining experience, but it was our server, Eduardo, who elevated our visit into something truly memorable. Eduardo greeted us with a warmth and sincerity that immediately made us feel welcome. His approach to service was personal and attentive, perfectly balancing professionalism with a genuine desire to connect with us. He was patient and thoughtful, offering to give us extra time with the menu while also sharing insights into his own life that added depth to our interaction. The highlight of the meal, without question, was the off-menu special which was home-made pasta prepared using Tito's vodka. As someone who has had their fair share of Italian cuisine, I can confidently say the pasta at Casa D’ Angelo is the best I've *EVER* had. But it wasn’t just the food that made our experience; it was Eduardo’s guidance through the menu, his knowledge of the dishes, and his personal recommendations that truly made our lunch stand out. In summary, Casa D’ Angelo isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a culinary journey curated by people like Eduardo, who bring flavor not only to the food but to the experience itself. Whether you're a local or just passing through, a visit here promises not just a meal but a story worth remembering.“

“First off, our server Sergei was so awesome! Probably the best service we have had in a long long time - made our night. Beyond that the food was perfect in every way! Really couldn't have asked for a better dinner. We will definitely be back“

“The food is off the charts and for the first time we had the artichoke heart bruschetta and it was to die for! My husband's daughter's favorite dish is the lasagna but I have never had it until our guest brought some back to our home so when they left I tried it and no question the best I have ever had!! Very smooth melts in your mouth is the only way I know how to describe it!“

“as always, we have just the most fantastic meal. Our server was super great. We just love and adore Lizzy, the manager. She always is so welcoming every time we come.. we've been dinning with you for over 10 years and it's our destination at least 3 times a trip when we're in Aspen in both the winter and summer months. Thank you for always being so consistent and so kind warm and lovely.“
