One of the best restaurants in Aspen! Pretty inside and out! Dog friendly in their beautiful outside area!

Our first time in Aspen- so we can give an impartial review. Delicious food. Excellent ambiance. Friendly and attentive waitstaff who were also professional and masked (we appreciated this very much). The spacing between tables was also wonderful. Highlights were the east coast oysters, garlic bread, grilled octopus, cioppino, and steak! Great wine selection too! We'll be back during our stay for the seafood tower. Great quality food and service!- absolutely on par with Aspen's reputation. read more

Excellent meal - would highly recommend the crab tostadas and any fish you order will be cooked perfectly. The wine list is extensive. Fun vibe and most importantly the service was excellent- special nod to the bartenders who took care of us despite it being super busy with drinks being made at a brisk pace. Terrific addition to our Aspen go-to list. read more

Booked this amazing restaurant for my birthday this past weekend. I'm not sure how I got lucky to book this place last minute cause it was sold out for weeks. The food is incredible. Our party wanted to order everything off the menu cause everything sounded amazing. And what we ordered was outstanding. Service was impeccable and attentive to our needs. Staff was super friendly and gracious. But the food, omg how amazing and delicious. When I'll be in Aspen again, I'm definitely coming back. A word of advice though, the place is pricey so be ready for the bill. That was the most painful part, lol. read more

There were four of us and each and every one of us enjoyed the food and service. Somewhat pricey, but within Aspen standards, but with the quality of the food worth it. You will definitely see us again. read more

Good terrible food poisoning after. Lasted a full week. Vomited nonstop. I saw a cockroach in the bathroom as well.

I had been wanting to try out Duemani since they opened over the winter. I was blown away by everything! The food was so good. You could tell that Luigi and Gretchen (the owners) bring in quality ingredients from coast to coast. I loved the crab tostadas and the mussels. I didn't even try the entrees because the appetizers were so fun and tasty! GET THE BRUSSELS SPROUTS! Nick is a great bartender and Georgiana was our server...loved her as well! Cocktail list is on point. I loved it so much that I have a reservation for tonight, can't wait! read more

This place had a cool vibe and the service was great. However considering the menu prices, I was hoping for something exceptional, and was disappointed to find the food pretty average. read more

This restaurant recently switched ownership (or something along those lines) since then I feel like quality and service has gone down and the prices have gone up.... read more

Wow... really not great. The best thing was the tequila cocktail with ginger & carrot. Pasta was blah, octopus was really oily, the service was OK, the salads were over dressed and the place is cramped. Small portions that cost more than large portions. The oysters were fresh and mussels were solid. I wish they removed the bad glass of wine and the $18 fries + $75 black truffle topper was a kick in the ass out the door. I'd give it 2 stars, but the bill was next level - even by Aspen standards - we got ASPENED! read more

The atmosphere was pleasant. I ordered the Red Snapper. In my experience, everytime I've ordered Snapper, I've gotten the WHOLE FISH. So imagine my disappointment when all I received was a 5 ounce filet for $50+! My husband ordered the "Colorado Rack of Lamb", the size portion listed was 16 ounces. He only received 3 lollipops, at best was only approximately 6 ounces!! He also complained that the mash potatoes tasted watered down. Beware this is an A La Cart restaurant and in my opinion they practice False Advertisement, the mark up is ridiculous!!! We only came here because we didn't place reservations at the Steak House we wanted to go to. read more

The best Italian restaurant and the best steak house in Aspen better than steak house

DELICIOUS! We had to carry out our food which is never ideal and yet everything was still wonderful! We ordered the burrata (truffle oil and honey combo was amazing) shrimp cocktail (we asked for horse radish and it was so fresh and spicy!) the bone in ribeye (my fiancé said it was really really good) the halibut (yum!) mashed potatoes (SO good) and broccolini (which was typical) and the lemon olive oil cake (very good). I wish we could've dined in, but next trip to aspen we will!!! read more

I fully agree with the two star reviews that this restaurant has received. While the ambiance is nice, the price for the food is so absurd that it's hard not to laugh when your bill shows $75 for truffle fries. Since it clearly won't be here next season your not missing much if you take this one off your list. read more

I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the Aspen, CO area. The menu is first class, and it focuses on Italian style seafood: raw, grilled, fried, and ceviche. It reminded me of the good food I've eaten when visiting coastal Italian cities. They also offered some great looking steaks, fresh salads, and had a nice selection of daily specials. Very nice bar with good cocktails, a great wine list, and a nice selection of Italian & domestic craft beers. The service in this restaurant is some of the best, if not the best, that I've experienced in Aspen. The atmosphere is relaxed and casual, but elegant. We enjoyed the grilled octopus, fresh grilled prawns, Frito mixto, truffle fries, and an excellent cioppino for dinner. The portions are generous (as we learned). If you enjoy quality seafood then should plan to visit this fine restaurant. They have a nice outdoor dining area too. read more

Great food! Fun vibe! Love what they did during covid. Unique menu and I love how you can order different portion sizes! I ordered the salmon which was a little dry it tasted great with the mash potatoes and asparagus. They have a great liquor and wine menu as well! read more

One of the worse places while visiting Aspen for my husbands birthday. First, they accepted our reservation at 8:30pm for a party of 6. We had no idea however, they stopped serving both food and drinks at 9:30pm and had to be out of the establishment by 10pm. An establishment like this should know a group of 6 would not eat appetizers, drink bottles of wine, and have dinner and dessert in one hour. At this point, it became an issue when we were rushed to leave, were refused a bottle of wine but were offered glasses instead (kind of strange, but ok...) and was told that we needed to take our dessert to go because we had to be out by 10pm. If we're making a reservation at this time, we should be made aware of this "rule". Also, when the manager was called to our table to discuss the issue (which he was in the middle of having his own meal at the bar), he had no problem disregarding our concerns... of course this was after we had paid our $752 bill. With this kind of charge, I would expect to at least have been offered dessert to go due to the acceptance of our reservation. The manager was completely rude, not understanding, and accepted no responsibility for how he runs "his establishment"... literally in his own words. This place doesn't deserve to serve people at these menu prices for they can't match the level of service. Completely disgusted. read more

This place is good, but unfortunately not great. I cringe when I read reviews that say "not much value for price paid" as they typically overlook other features such as the quality of raw food, presentation, etc. however in this case the prices reflect the location in aspen and not some of the finer elements of dining out. Nothing wrong with the meal but there are better places. Had the branzino which was well cooked. The other ingredients were top quality. Again though nothing wowed. Be sure to be ok with Covid when visiting, the only obvious sign any precautions are being taken are servers in masks and a contact sheet to complete. Otherwise you will be sitting in close quarters with other guests as if it were 2019. Not sure how they are able to legally pack so many in, but it was unsettling and uncomfortable given the precautions other establishments are taking. read more

They do not comply with COVID protocols AT ALL. So if you are COVID risk adverse, stay away!!! We ate here when there was a gas issue in the town, so anything grilled was off the menu. We would understand a limited menu under these circumstances, but they did not let us know this when we arrived, even after waiting 20 mins for our reserved table. No effort was made by our server to find alternatives for this to be a great meal and no effort was made to make up for the bad customer experience overall. A nice lady tried to explain the over capacity situation at the start of the meal, but the customer experience deteriorated from there. I am sure during normal times, this is a great place, but we wouldn't return after this experience. read more

Honestly one of the best meals I've ever had. Duemani is the only restaurant I've tried in Aspen that really impressed me. It would be a mistake to miss a meal here! read more

This is our 5th night in Aspen and we JUST found this gem. 5/5 the best meal of the trip. We went to all of the "popular spots" in Aspen and this was well above everywhere else. The food was amazing, I had the Prime Ribeye and my fiancé had the scallops. Both were fantastic. Can't wait to come back here in the winters read more

Duemani - Ribeye/Scallops - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Aspen, Colorado

This is my favorite restaurant in Aspen. The food is really good and the staff is very warm and welcoming. The wine list is out of this world. Highly recommend, will be back read more

Incredible! The quality of the fish here is outstanding. The service was top notch and the vibe was great. They fly in fresh fish 4x week, and it truly shows. All of the main fish dishes were simply prepared with sea salt, pepper, lemon and a little bit of olive olive. Nothing to hide behind and we couldn't have been more impressed. The standouts for us were the Berry Picker cocktail, whole fish and sea bass. If you're looking for a nice place with insanely high quality fresh fish, this is your place. Is it pricey? Maybe a little bit, but it's Aspen and you're eating fish one day out of the water. read more

We asked a few locals about this spot and most have said....hmmmm not sure never been....because they just opened end of December! Boy do they have their act together! The service is impeccable. The atmosphere so warm and welcoming and the FOOD!?? OUTSTANDING! Every dish was bursting with flavor...try the sarde/bucatini w/anchovies as an app, you can taste the flavoring all throughout the pasta....the scallops were lightly buttered and seared to perfection...and the veal chop milanese was so tender inside and crunchy on the outside....the crispy brussel sprouts put you on another planet and for dessert....the lemon & olive oil cake finishes you off with an everlasting sweet flavor......we didn't have the ice cream but it looked like every table was ordering it...must be a homemade specialty...please try and let us know! Worth every dollar spent! read more

Love Duemani. We go a few times per month and it's always spot on. Love the Caesar, tartare is amazing (I'm not an adventurous eater!), bruschetta is awesome, not your typical bruschetta. it has artichokes and I don't like artichokes but this bruschetta knocks it out of the park. Can't go wrong here read more

Amazing, friendly staff, beautiful decor and great food! You can't go wrong here...understandable since the owners own another wonderful Aspen restaurant, Aqualina. Love it!!! read more

The food was broadly good although the branzino was dry. the service was very nice and attentive. I was offended that with a bill of 700 dollars they charged me a 4 percent credit card fee. 18 dollars for French fries and 58 dollars for an 8 Oz piece of fish gets you a 4 percent surcharge??? With these prices, I don't think a credit card surcharge is in "good taste". read more

Best new restaurant in Aspen!!! Been to every top restaurant in Aspen and this is the best one! We were six people and ordered family style. 3-4 dishes on each section of the menu. Everything was amazing! The seafood is fresh and creative. Can't wait to go back!! Wish I took pictures but all was so good. Ambience is very nice too. If you love seafood, sashimi, and ceviche this place is a must. Amazing pastas too! One of the best meals we've had! Thank you Duemani! read more

HYPER expensive for the product. That said, the steak was delicious and there was a knowledgeable wine steward.

Don't waste your time. Bad meal, horrible service. I asked to speak to the manager who was incredibly rude and crass. Won't go back.

Exhorbitant for what you get. There's better Italian and better seafood in the valley. I tried a host of dishes. For my main I had the bottarga since that is pretty rare to find on a menu in the US. Wow, was I floored at how stingy they were with the bottarga. It ended up being basically pasta and oil for about $32. Tasted nothing like the real thing in Sardinia. read more

I LOVED the food here! I went on a Saturday night during Covid and it was packed! (As were all of the other restaurants.) The food was delicious and our waitress was very nice and professional. The place was on the expensive side, but so worth it. I highly recommend the King Salmon tartar and Fresca salad! I took a picture of the menu to make sure to go back next time we are in Aspen. read more

The owner of this restaurant is a patronizing mean human. Not only did he belittle the hostess who made a mistake with my reservation, but he offered no remorse or accommodations for me despite the fact that I was just a victim to her mistake. He treated me with a sense of entitlement that was extremely offputting. I've been a resident of Aspen for 30 years, and this restaurant, despite being grossly overpriced, has been one of my favorite new restaurants that I have going to and recommending to many many people since it opened. Unfortunately, after the way I was treated tonight by the owner, I will not ever go back and if I do find it in my heart to recommend, it will be with the caveat of not expecting to be treated with any respect by the owner. Shame on him. Especially to treat a local like that. I hope he reads this review takes it as an opportunity to be nicer to people especially when it was the restaurants mistake, and not the patron. A little kindness goes a long way... read more

We sat outside on a perfect night and had such an amazing meal. Luigi and Gretchen make you feel like family. We had Branzino and several appetizers that were great BUT the Brussel Sprouts- AMAZING. Charming and felt very safe during these strange times. Would go back every night if we had more time read more

Had a pasta dish and the pasta was thick and dry. Had one of their Italian craft beers and wasn't sure if the beer was flat and old or just not to my liking. Service was ok. Decor was very nice. Sorry but I can't recommend this restaurant. read more

My new favorite place in Aspen! Honestly the seafood is so fresh and the dishes are creative and sooo tasty. Excited to go back!

We went here three times in two weeks - twice as a family and once with friends. The food was amazing and the attentive team working there bent over backwards to make sure our experience was great. I can't recommend it enough. read more
