Brunelleschi's

Sat at the bar and felt really at home. Steve the bartender was amazing. We had some great conversations and the whole bar was involved. Not many places out there can offer that type of warmth. We had some pizzas, salads, meatballs, all were excellent. Some places over salt their food to make it taste better, I like that the food wasn’t bathed in salt. Clean and delicious. Try this spot for an affordable, healthy, meal. 💯

We ordered lasagna, veal parmigiana, and shrimp fettuccine. All three pasta portions were small, but my fettuccine was notably tiny. It felt like the chef ran out of pasta and sent the dish out anyway. The sauce was ample, enough for 30% more pasta, and the shrimp portion was adequate. The food tasted fine, though not exceptional. For the first time, I felt compelled to complain about portion size to our server. The owner was kind enough to address my concern, explaining that the town is encouraging restaurants to reduce food waste. However, my portion was insufficient, barely suitable for a child, let alone an adult, especially after a day outdoors. Despite good service, I wouldn’t return to this restaurant based on the portion sizes alone. At $38 for a plate of pasta—a fair price in Aspe

The my lasagna was basically nothing spectacular for being in Aspen, CO. I also ordered the Ajax pizza, again it was simple, no wow factor here. The service, the presentation of the restaurant was on point. Very friendly staff and the food came out fast, maybe to fast.

I was in Aspen for the weekend and I was looking for something reasonable for dinner. I like Italian food so this place seemed like a good choice. I kept it basic and simple: spaghetti and meatballs with calamari appetizer. If you can't do that right, you don't get to call yourself an Italian restaurant. The calamari was really good. Crispy on the outside and soft and mildly chewy (in a good way). Not much on the seasoning side but a little salt and I was happy. Then came the spaghetti. The first plate I got, my 3 meatballs were cold.l, so I sent them back. So this leads me to believe that they get microwaved instead of sitting in a hot dish full of sauce waiting for an order. Dry, weirdly textured meatballs that tasted like they were home made by a robot. These had to be like Kirkland me

Brunelleschi’s in Aspen is a must-visit! The calamari, risotto, and cocktails were all exceptional. Great atmosphere, delicious food, and definitely worth making a reservation. Our server, Haley, was attentive, friendly, and helpful - would highly recommend her as well!
