About this restaurant

Romantic
Charming
Lively

Ellina is a cozy, intimate restaurant located in the heart of Aspen.
Nestled in a stone walled dining room for the perfect, cozy Alpine dining experience. In the summer, the large outdoor patio offers al fresco dining in the shadow of Aspen Mountain.
We are known for our homemade pastas and modern Italian cuisine - Chef Diaz' roots in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico often bring a Latin spark to classic Italian dishes. Our signature Artichoke Heart Bruschetta has been on the menu 15 years and still has a passionate following - a must try on the menu!
Wine is our passion, and Ellina's worldly wine lists offers over 2500 choices, with a particular love and focus on the wines of Italy and France.

Delicious braised octopus to start, with excellent wine and cocktails. We enjoyed dinners of Halibut and Gnochetti.

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!

Service was excellent, and the Black Pepper Fettucini was amazing!! However, the $68 Halibut was just OK, and the wine list had the year wrong on the pricey bottle of wine we selected. Our reservation was at 8 pm on a Friday night in early March - and the noise was insanely loud. Eliina offers nothing soft or luxurious to tamper the reverberations off the stone walls. It was obnoxious enough yelling across our table of 6, but I would have just left if I was out for a date night with my sweetie.

Christina, Glad you enjoyed our service and the pastas. Sorry to hear you didn't like the halibut (its actually $62 not $68), it has been highly popular and we have received excellent reviews on it from many other guests. If you are not happy with any dish, it is always best to let your server know at that time so we can make it right and bring you something you will enjoy. Our wine list has over 2000 options. - vintages change often, especially at that $120 price range. We did make you aware of the different vintage right away to give you the option of selecting another wine. Lastly, we realize it is loud during peak times like Fridays at 6pm in March - we are installing sound paneling this offseason to make the dining experience at ellina more enjoyable .

We had the 1st seating when the crowd was minimal. Our waiter was gracious and inviting but he got in the weeds as people came in. He was less then attentive and was noticeably absent the rest of the evening

Wonderful food and service. They were very accommodating of our requests (table relocation, split plates, etc.) and attentive. The food is pricy, though, and it was fairly noisy. It is downstairs in a room with rock walls and the tables are somewhat close together.

Thanks for the nice review. We do realize it can get loud when it is really busy - We are installing a sound absorption system this offseason!
