About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Charming
  • Great for fine wines
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.

    Absolutely awful . Way too many good spots in Aspen to waste your time here.

    Wow, you guys really cleaned your plates for people that hated it so much. I talked to my entire team and we are all quite confused as you were nice and seemed satisfied here, and did again eat all of everything that you ordered. You are right about one thing, there are lots of restaurants in Aspen, so its probably best if we go our separate ways. Most people love us (as evidenced by our 4.8 rating), so we'll just keep doing what we do.

    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!
