Il Poggio - Snowmass Village

Yup, the food is great for Aspen Snowmass. But this shocked me. We were close to the shopping center, and strolled to Poggio's invincible place to read the menu in the window. A prestigious New Yorker put me around the arm and said you can't go wrong. This is the best restaurant in Snowmass. We have made a special request for departure, ordered several items and rolled back to our hotel. When we opened the containers, we were intoxicated with the smells. The super-tender mussels jumped as a Newfoundland choice. I demand red sauce on pizza, but the Dustino spicy pizza had no sauce and it counts among the best I've ever eaten. The gnocchi with veal was tender and spicy. The boy scold the Pomodoro, but my wife took her sweet time with the Burrata salad. Chocolate cake was equipped with everything else. Yum.

Love the ambience and the excellent service by the staffs. Although I have not posted picture of their pizza, you should give the Dustino pizza a try too. Cavatappi, ravioli and gnocchi are all delicious. This is a place for all occasions.

The atmosphere great, the service awesome, the salad perfect, good variety of beers and wine, we ordered duck and shrimp fetuccine, for my taste, could have a little bit more of salt on both

This is our goto restaurant in Snowmass Village. Wood fired pizzas and well curated Italian dishes in a pleasant atmosphere. The front room, which we prefer, has a more bistro ambiance for bar or table seating. The back room is more subdued. Good wine list.

Visiting from Manitou Springs, didn’t plan much beyond our room and Foo Fighter concert. This gem was across the street from our hotel. We lucked out and got seats at the bar, as they were booked all night. The bar tender/ server was so great! Started a romaine salad, fresh and great. I had the ravioli (butternut squash, sage, some kind of amazing salt, butter! The best thing was that I could get it in an appetizer size! Three pieces of heaven and no waste! Doug had the duck breast. Omg! So good, garlic spinach and little raviolis were wonderful! We rarely order dessert, the chocolate mousse cake. . . I should have ordered 2. It would make a great breakfast! One of the best things about this restaurant is that it seemed to be a local place. Patrons and staff all seemed to be friends! That makes me happy, as that’s how it is in my town.
