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.“

“This is your 5 star with classic, real family ties, food. The service is always above what you would expect. You still see chef Angelo. Menu items have family roots. Fresh is always key but the food is hand selected. Pistachios from certain regions. Pork chops of a specific type. Prosciutto aged 24 months. Top notch! I’ve been dining here for over 15 years and have never had a bad experience.“

“The cheese ravioli with pesto sauce was the best! We also love the empanadas. Everything was fresh and flavorful.“

“I was a little disappointed in the service. We wished to split a salad and rather than splitting it in the kitchen, they brought the salad to the table with to small plates and no servicing utensils. Most restaurants of the caliber split in the kitchen.“

“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“

“Fantastic food. Great wine list especially Italian wines. One of the best patios in Aspen. Fantastic staff.“

“We had a nice night and we went there because we had a small child with us so it was perfect. The food was not as good as I remember. The service was outstanding. The cocktails were very good and it is a nice place to go with a big group or a family with children. Thank you!“

“Such a great place!!! As a pizza lover, this is by far the best pizza in town. The kids loved making their own pizza as well. Highly recommend!“
