12 Best Italian Restaurants near Vail

“By far the best Italian food I have found in the United States!“

“We have been wanting to try the ‘Vail edition' of Tavernetta ever since they opened last year, and it did not disappoint! We were seated at the perfect table, and were surprised to see how busy the restaurant was on a Monday night!  How can you not start with the focaccia? It paired perfectly with the burrata and heavenly wine that was recommended, a 2020 Barolo ( the wine list is extensive!). We enjoyed  the insalate mista along with the lobster linguine and the quail entrée ( this was such a unique and delicious dish!) Truly a special evening! Looking forward to our next visit!“

“Billy Bob’s Brain is the best slice in town. Have been coming here for 20+ years as a Denverite - and honestly, haven’t had better service than Joelle. Thanks for making three nights in a row something worth writing a review about. Also, Tomas - you have a great smile.“

“Pazzo’s Pizza in Vail is hands down the best spot for pizza around. Dan Renner and the crew make every visit feel like you’re part of the family. Their service is top-notch—always friendly, timely, and welcoming. The pizza? Absolutely unbeatable, with fresh ingredients and that perfect balance of flavor and crust. Whether you’re grabbing a bite after a day on the slopes or ordering in, they never disappoint. If you want great food and a place that treats you right, Pazzo’s is the place to go!“
