Was oddly empty but still received a warm welcome. Appetizers were fine but overdressed (too much of "stuff"... oil or balsamic or) but were OK. Whole fish, the special, branzino, was perfection. Great service and wide selection of wine. read more

Everything here was amazing! The crab tostadas and the lamb chops were major standouts. Hamachi crudo and the bone in NY steak were great as well The service and ambiance were superb. I would highly recommend Duemani for anyone looking for a great meal in Aspen. Will absolutely be returning when we visit Aspen again! read more

Server said paella could be shared between 3 people but i would only say that if you wanted to only eat a small portion. More like for 2 people if order more stuff or 1 hearty portion. Tastes pretty good though not exceptional. Crab tostadas at recommendation of server. They were ok but a little bland. Langostines were broiled or grilled and didn't taste super fresh but flavor was ok. Scallop crudo small plate was pretty good but very small especially for the high price. The scallops at king are much better and better priced. Service was good except they didn't warn us kitchen was closing so I couldn't order the fries at last minute because I was still hungry from the small portions. Very pricey for what you get and food was mediocre. Would not go here again although it was convenient to the Limelight Hotel read more

A fantastic addition to the Aspen dining scene. The seafood is incredibly fresh and the Mediterranean flavors are beautifully done. Service was Slow.The crudos and grilled fish were standout dishes. Elegant but relaxed atmosphere. read more

This place is a gem and deserves way more credit than the 3-point-something star rating currently showing. The restaurant itself is a bit small, but feels perfect for a mediterranean vibe. We started with a fried shrimp appetizer which was paired with a fantastic jalapeno vinegar... or something. I should have paid closer attention, but I think it was a special. We had the seabass, roasted chicken, and a paella special. All of it was tasty. The service was excellent and the frozen yogurt palette cleanser was a perfect finisher. We were all too full for a proper desert. We'll be back! read more

The design is what is twisting my arm to write about... but there's a lot more. The burrata with honey truffle sauce was devine. I loved the Brussels. Not really the artichokes sadly but that's ok. From rachel, my cousin: The tuna Crudo was delicious as was the lamb and ceaser salad. Veal - excellent. Which was really a schnitzel. The design is impeccable. Kudos to the Aspen architect for the details. The tile, the bar, the black and white Italian photography permanent exhibition. The glassware and flatware. Zanco denkart wine glasses are just from another world. The photos online don't do it justice. Acopa flatware. Just divine. Tiramisu - everyone loved it more than I did. Mango sorbet was lovely. Mina- our server was fantastic. The host also was gracious and welcoming. The bathroom is great. The scent is not overbearing. Hand lotion is perfect since it's so freaking dry in aspen. Only issue - even though it was a Sunday night, and the restaurant was not super full, the music was still too cubby and loud then one would expect from a super fancy place. The price of our dinner was on average 100 bucks per person with an average of one and a half drinks per person. Similar to last night in Matsuhisa famous Japanese. Which is a lot. Perfect ambiance otherwise. read more

Welp, for the prices, you'd think this would one of most amazing meals you've ever tasted with top notch service but it fell short. We tasted a good amount of the menu and while some things were tastier than others, nothing wowed me. What we ordered: Fritto Misto (1/5) the shrimp were dry and chewy Crab Tostadas (4/5) generous amount of crab, the sauce under the tostada crisps was flavorful Tuna tacos (5/5) this was my favorite item of the night, very small portion but tasty Half chicken (2/5) moist but very under seasoned and basic overall Crème brûlée (1/5) the worst one I've ever had, we did not finish it The overall service was basic, nothing over the top. I don't forsee myself running back to dine here again soon. read more

Unfortunately, I hate to do this, but I do not recommend this restaurant we walked in at 9 o'clock and the restaurant on Google says it closes at 10 and they were a little bit snobby and I wouldn't recommend this restaurant read more

We got a reservation for Duemani at 8:30 on a Tuesday night. The service was top notch. We were the only group dining in at this time. They mostly played upbeat edm music. The food was excellent. We shared several dishes. The tacos, which were on special, were excellent and good value relative to the rest of the menu. The tuna tartare was a standout dish that everyone enjoyed. read more

What an amazing place. I'm confused at the lower ratings. There were 5 of us and Duemani was perfect. Super welcoming, excellent food, everything! Excellent service! The music was a bit loud to enjoy our conversation, but for the most part, we loved our experience. For some reason, so many restaurants these days have music (which is nice as background music). However, when the music overshadows the conversation at your table, it's too loud. Thank you for the lovely meeting! read more

Did someone say foodie adventure gone askew? Picture this: anticipation high for the famed veal chop and those crispy, truffle-perfumed fries, only to be met with a chilly welcome. Despite the less-than-warm service and a waiting game that felt longer than a Netflix binge, the culinary creations did not falter. Each dish, from the succulent veal to the perfectly balanced truffle fries, danced on the palate, scoring a 9/10 on the taste test. Yet, the service left us longing for more, much like a forgotten second martini. We had so much hope and our friends that brought us here were very disappointed. Even the manager didn't seem to notice any of the issues with our table. Only giving a 3 stars due to service. read more

Duemani - Patio - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Aspen, Colorado

Let's factor out the small fortune Aspen mandates you pay and focus on the atmosphere, service, and of course, taste. Walking into the pleasantly warm restaurant, I was happy to see the original but sophisticated ambiance. I especially loved the large window facing the pedestrian avenue. The tables were large, and the seats were comfortable. Plates, silverware, and glassware were sparkling clean. The service, unfortunately, could have been a little better. I am only knit-picking, but with the hefty price tag, I expect it to be on par with my experience. Some of the waitpeople seemed untrained in basic serviceable mannerisms. Other than that, everybody was pleasantly friendly and attentive. Now to the good part...the FOOD! We started our meal with a couple of appetizers, the lobster and the oysters. Both tasted exquisite, and I thoroughly enjoyed the "special hot sauce" paired with our meal. The wine selection was limited, but the personnel knew the best pairings for our meals. As for main dishes, my favorite was the lamb chops, and I would not reorder the blue prawns. Overall, an Aspen classic, and I will be happy to come back! read more

The food is fine but expensive. The wine list isn't good and I suspect I got food poisoning there once

Extremely rude and unprofessional. We had a reservation and they didn't let us in. The manger did not even try to fix his mistake. Very disappointed. read more

We live in the area and have eaten at Duemani several times in the past few years. we always get the whole fish branzino with lemon caper sauce even though it is incredibly expensive because it has been so delectable. We went this evening again and generally had a lovely time--even though we had to ask theee times before they turned the music down. the grilled artichokes and tuna tartare tacos and sea scallops were amazing, but the branzino was overcooked and over salted. So disappointing. read more

Terrible experience, took over hour for food to come ordered the sea bass , it came and was 3 oz of fish on plate for $68.00 ( I don't mind paying aspen prices I live here , but you have give more than 3 0z of food!) the manager was so rude he insisted that it was 7 ounces. And brought out a food scale to prove him self but was embarrassed when it showed that it was 3 ounces. I've never seen a manager run into The kitchen a get a scale ! He said that fish shrinks when cooked .. but instead of apologizing or attempting to bring out additional fish, he took the food away and was angry. Then the owner came out and was full of greasy street cloths and was also rude. He said if you complain about the food don't come back.. the most unprofessional management run restaurant I've ever seen. They also bought other previously existing Restaurants and Aspen, Aqualina and De Angelos ... I would not recommend any of these restaurants, there are plenty of other professional, wonderful restaurants In Aspen to enjoy read more

Delicious new spot in town. We ordered the burrata, tuna and yellowtail crudos to start. The tuna was delicious but the yellowtail just tasted like it was drowning in teriyaki sauce. We ordered the New York strip steak and the whole Branzino. Both were wonderfully delicious. My only critique would be that their menu is almost randomly expansive. There are so many different types of options and no real direction around how to order from such an array of items. I thought this place was Italian but they had edamame?! read more

Amazing bartenders! The food is excellent! Highly recommend the cocktails, their liquor selection may be one of the best in Aspen. The appetizers are extremely creative and all good!! We will definitely be back. read more

We had an great meal at Duemani. With all the amazing choices in Aspen it's hard to pick. We wanted light and fresh seafood. This place delivered on both. We started with the grilled octopus, tuna sashimi, and crab tostadas. All were perfectly prepared and great portions. For dinner we shared the grilled prawns and the Brussel sprouts. We were suppose to get 6 prawns and only 5 were on the plate. The brussles were fair at best. Good spot. Service was quick. read more

Even though the food is delicious, the music is too loud and I would never go back because of it. A shame

This place was absolutely incredible from start to finish! The food superseded our expectations for sure! We sat at the bar and enjoyed several of the bar specials and cocktails.

Such amazing, fresh seafood. Service was attentive, professional and friendly. Great wine program and a nice recommendation from sommelier Carlos. Will be back! read more

Occupying the old Rustique French bistro space new this season is Italian restaurant Duemani. The space itself has been thoroughly revamped. Food is above average, cocktail list could use some further work as the bar is very well stocked. Service had some minor glitches - a request for bread waited until after the starter had been served and then it was one, albeit warm piece of baguette between four patrons.- without butter - it Was a comic moment. read more

We are early around six and I was worried because the place was pretty dead but it started filling up and was full by 7. We stuck to appetizers to share instead of ordering mains so that we could try a few different things. The oysters were good but they came dressed and without cocktail sauce. I didn't love that. Then we moved on to the lamb kefta. It was fabulous. We ended up ordering another later on. We tried the mussels and clams next. The broth was good but they tasted a little funky. Not my favorite. Then we had the crab tostadas and another kefta. They were very good. After that we were full. Overall good food but a few things were a miss for us. I would try it again. The service was wonderful. read more

I rarely leave bad reviews on Yelp but I would give zero stars to this restaurant! Extremely disappointed with their poor service and unprofessional staff. From the moment we arrived the attitude of the staff was unwelcoming and very rude. Avoid by all means!!

Cannot say enough of one of my favorite spots in Aspen! Such a gem! Incredibly gracious owners and staff! One of the most serious wine lists in town- trust. Killer cocktails. Some of the best Crudo I've had, but ALL is wildly delicious. If in Aspen, highly recommend! read more

We had a very bad experience with this resturant. We had a reservation at 9 pm and changed it to 6 pm but they did not give us the table when we showed up at and the manager told us that you are lying that you called. He was extremely rude and unprofessional. read more

Probably our new favorite restaurant in Aspen. Great menu. Beautiful ingredients and lovely presentation. Nice beer and wine list, craft cocktails and in the heart of downtown Aspen. A must do. And well done. read more

So this is not Italian it is Greek/Mediterranean. So the flavors and presentation are not what you expect if you thought Italian. The online menu is not the current menu. The hosting staff were not hospitable and the server was less than accommodating. The outside seating was very pleasant and enjoyable. I am a regular to Aspen and I will not be back sadly because I love to give local recommendations. read more

This place is overpriced, like most Aspen restaurants!!! The prices were comical for what it was. Nothing blew my mind and we left spending about $250 for two ppl. What a joke! read more

I had mixed feelings about this place. Food is very basic. The fritto misto was rather doughey and seemed like something from a fast food place. The fish was fresh but portion was rather small and didn't come with anything. Some of the sides were good but overall nothing special. read more

First time to Aspen in 20 years. Don't leave without a special dinner at Duemani. Darko has been here since day 1 in Dec of 2019 and does a wonderful job. My wife and I have 4 teenage kids and they all loved the food as well. NY Strip, Veal, Sea Bass, Half a Chicken, Brussel sprouts, truffle fries, garlic bread, we loved it all. We'll be back. Nice ambiance. read more

This restaurant is phenomenal. Chef Jason Franey runs a tight ship. His kitchen and his cooking are on another level. When you go to Aspen you must go to Duemani! They also have a superb wine list and cocktails. Enjoy! read more

Extremely expensive and just "okay" food. Nothing special, and definitely not worth the $250+. There are better value restaurants in the area!! read more

People very friendly, high priced but good cuisine and quiet atmosphere. However i ordered a martini and upon receiving our check we noticed a $3.00 UP charge. This was a charge for the martini glass UP! The martini was $16 + 3.00. It's a shame after ordering a $75.O0 Branzino fish etc, that a small $3.00 charge lost them a neighborhood customer....plus I had to tell our friends to see if there was something we missed. Tonight we ate at Steak House 316 and we asked the bartender the question. They never heard of such a thing. Neither had we nor anyone else. Sad. read more
