   Very loud so hard to talk. Red Snapper was not fresh. I know it’s Aspen, but it’s still overpriced. The restaurant is not what it used to be.

   ELINA... locally owned, excellent octopus and main course, friendly professional service... not to be missed... the corporates moving into Aspen, can never replace the authenticity of ELINA

   I probably should’ve know that this “italian” restaurant wouldn’t be great when I saw tacos and poke on the menu, but I hoped for the best! Unfortunately everything was pretty bad.

    The hostess was accommodating and got us in earlier than our reservation was for. There aren’t many vegan/vegetarian options, though. Was a bit loud and tables were close together. Great cocktails and dessert made to order!

    The food and service are always amazing and never disappoint, however, there was techno music being played during dinner so it was very difficult to hear our own conversation. The noise level is the only reason for my 4 stars rating

    The food was amazing and the service also. However we were late due to snow conditions and the hostess was rude enough to tell us we needed to leave by 8:00. She had horrible customer attitude. Perhaps a better solution would have been for her to express to the waiter to move our ordering fast so that we would be done by the 8:00 deadline.

    EllinaResponded on January 5, 2023We are glad you enjoyed the food and service. When a group of 8 shows up nearly 40 minutes late for a reservation, if we are even able to still seat you, we do have to inform you that your 2 hour time slot has been shortened. The restaurant was completely full, so its not as simple as informing your waiter to 'speed up ordering'. I do apologize that she was not sweet enough about it, but we did our best to accommodate you after you showed up way past you reservation time with a large group.

    Ambiance was nice, food was okay, but nothing impressive. Our waiter was quite rude. We called before the reserved dinner to reschedule if at all possible and the woman who answered was beyond snotty and very condescending, then hung up on me. We still went to the dinner, but I wish we wouldn’t have gone. We won’t return and we won’t recommend it to anyone else. So many other AMAZING choices in Aspen. I’d rather spend my time somewhere else with polite people and excellent service.

    EllinaResponded on January 4, 2023You called and tried to cancel a 6 top an hour before your reservation. I told you no problem but there would be a cancellation charge, and then you told me someone was sick in the group but fine you would come with the sick person. I asked you not to come if someone was sick and you said its just motion sickness. We didn't appreciate your tone with us either, or your rudeness to your server Martin (see other reviews praising him), and think its best for you not to come back either.

    I know everything is expensive in Aspen, but this place is definitely overpriced for what you get. No way to actually call the restaurant directly either.

    EllinaResponded 2 days agoTo be fair, you are leaving a review for a $350 prix fixe New Year's Eve dinner. We were $1000 less than anywhere else in town - but it should be noted you are not reviewing the restaurant on a normal night. NYE is an expensive night, especially in Aspen, from dive bars to the top. Our standard, nightly menu is one of the more reasonable in town for fine dining. We also have a phone number and email link on our website, its quite easy to contact the restaurant if you try.

    There is no sound buffering in the restaurant. Consequently, the noise level was unbelievably high and we were unable to carry on any regular conversation during our entire dinner. The food was very good but because our family of five was unable to converse with one another, except by yelling, our overall experience was quite poor.

    In my opinion, this is the one of the best, if not the best, Italian restaurants in Aspen. The service is very good but not intrusive, the cocktails were excellent, everything we ordered was very good. The stand outs are the artichoke bruschetta, the black pepper fettuccini and don’t miss the short rib it is to die for. The dessert with house made biscotti, vanilla gelato and espresso is amazing. It can feel slightly claustrophobic in the back of the restaurant with the stone wall and low ceilings, but it also adds to the charm.

    Probably the best waiter we’ve ever had. We had a lot of questions and asked for recommendations and he kept his sense of humor. Same with our sommelier. He recommended a delicious bottle of Chianti that was in our price range. The food was excellent. The room with stone walls was cozy. A really lovely experience.

    Great service and ambiance but the food was hot or miss. Tuna and spaghetti dishes were strong. Artichoke, calamari and chicken dishes weak. Also, a table near us was too loud. Server was very happy and friendly which made up for most of it.

    Beautiful, cozy dining room with lots of energy! We walked past the busy little bar & into the main room which was full of happy customers & several servers buzzing around with amazing looking dishes! Our table was waiting, as reserved, which was nice. The service was perfect, the wine list impressive, and the delicious food came out in very reasonable time! We had 3 filling courses so skipped dessert (they looked amazing, though!) Would definitely recommend & will return.

    Excellent place eaten here before but this trip very few Italian meals on menu and way too much seafood for us .. it’s always noisy on a weekend and bill for four with no drinks was over $350. Plus I would really like a choice of a couple appetizers to be shared . Overall still like and will be back.
