12 Best Italian Restaurants near Vail

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“
