Acquolina Aspen Reviews
Brought the whole family here for dinner and I was so
Brought the whole family here for dinner and I was so worried my kids would be a bother but the waitstaff was so kind to them and made us feel like we belonged. Not stuffy. Fantastic gluten free pizza. My kids ate everything on their plates.
Ordinary Italian, poor service extraordinary price
Extremely poor value. We had high expectations based on various reviews. Acquolina failed to meet them. We ordered 2 non-alcoholic drinks, a small salad, an appetizer, and two plates of pasta. For this we had to pay more than $200.00! For pasta? The

Usually a go to spot for us but the food was beyond poor! Our server was great but seems they dolce years ago. Our pizza was bland and under cooked. Age calamari appetizer was not edible as it was severely over cooked. Unfortunately off our list
Apps were okay, burrata not that soft.
Pasta was good. A bit expensive for the quality of food.
Wonderful food, wonderful service.
The only thing keeping me from coming back is the price.
Comfortable atmosphere with exceptional food and service.
Reasonably priced menu. Easy to walk in and get a seat at the bar on non-holiday weekends.
My family has been going there for years.
The food is JUST FINE (especially when you can't get a reservation anywhere else) but aside from that, my husband liked it for sentimental reasons. My sister called to say we had to reschedule because half the house had the stomach flu and then

This is an example of an Italian restaurant that wants to present itself as authentic, but falls short in several ways. First, the absolute tacky nightclub music needs to go. It doesn't match the ambiance in the least. Second, the extremely

Drinks were great. I must try when you're in Aspen . Great experience sitting at the bar..

Food was definitely above average, but not exceptional, as compared to "big city" Italian restaurants. Having said that, we'd return, as every dish was very respectable, as were portion sizes. Noise level was moderate, and atmosphere w
Quick trip to Aspen
Beautiful restaurant (although inside is very noisy). We walked up with no reservations on a Tuesday evening, and they sat us on their lovely outdoor patio. A local waiter had recommended this restaurant and raved about the burrata. We had a late lun
Delicious Surprise!
We had a great night as a party of 6 the night before the Aspen Marathon. We tried 6 different pasta dishes and all were great! Our server made fantastic wine pairing recommendations.
Mediocre food and service in Aspen
The burrata was of low quality. The ravioli filling was veal and it did not work very well with the herb it contained. The staff, about 3 of them, was way too pushy about serving our bottled water.
We had a business meeting.
Wait staff was a little too attentive (we were talking and not looking at menus yet) but rather too attentive than not! We shared the salad with bacon, ordered a bottle of wine, and each had an entree (eggplant parm, seafood pasta, ravioli). No comp
For a last minute reservation this place was fine.
The music is loud enough that you think you're at a rave. We were pretty sure that the bread and pizza came straight from Costco, but at least the arugula salad was good. Like I said - Fine. Just don't expect a quiet or gourmet meal.
Food is always great but for some reason they want to play
Food is always great but for some reason they want to play music so loud you feel like you are in a Euro Club.....they don't know their audience. Plenty of other restaurants where the ambience is as it should be......same for Angelo's as well.
Dine at your own risk, and double check statement
Food good, basic. Found additional $100 added to my tip when statement arrived. Someone added a "1" to my $80 tip, making it a $180 tip on a $400 check. Restaurant wouldn't answer by phone or email, I won dispute thru credit card company. I
Food good, basic.
Very busy, but timely service with a reservation. Till I got my credit card bill and saw that someone added a "1" to my tip, making it a $180 tip on a $400 bill, instead of $80. Called, emailed - no response. I disputed the charge and they
Terrible service, we sat for 30 minutes before a waiter
Terrible service, we sat for 30 minutes before a waiter even came over to take our drink order, would have been longer if we hadn't asked the girl pouring our water to send one over. Two other tables that were sat after us got their food before we ev
Acquolina is priced like the best restaurants in town.
The price point comparison is Casa Tua, yet Acquolina isn't in the same universe of restaurant quality as Casa Tua. $50 Veal Scalopini of which you receive possibly 5 tasteless ounces (Casa Tua's is one of the greatest dishes I have ever had). The $3
Exceptional food and service.
Aspen's best bar for dinner. Best Italian food in Aspen.
Great Food; Rudest GM Ever - STAY AWAY he’s a racist!
Food was excellent and staff was great. Biggest problem was with their GM, Carlos Valenzuela , that was beyond rude to my family which included 6 children. When the 13 of us walked in, we immediately felt like we were profiled. He said to us we only
Trendy but overcrowded
We had a party of 6 and early reservations. It became very crowded and seating was extremely close. Even the waiters had trouble maneuvering the aisles. The noise made it difficult to talk. Our food was good but a bit pricey for what we got. Nothin
Yuk. Save your money. A total rip off.
We went for dinner as a party of four. The menu is pricey, which would be fine if the food was any good. It was not. All four meals were terrible. Bland. Over cooked, not seasoned, bad recipes. They even managed to mess up a bowl of spaghetti and mea
Rushed us through the dinner.
When we wanted to order desert they said they needed the table and we could wait for a seat at the bar. Food is average quality and overpriced even for aspen.
$137 USD for one beer, house wine and two smaller entrees.
Decent food but very very over priced
Awful!
I ordered the veal scaloppine and it was inedible. It was so tough. Very disappointing $300 meal for my husband and I. My husband did like his appetizer of beef carpaccio with black truffles . Would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.
Their grilled seafood appetizer, ceased salad, pizzas and
Their grilled seafood appetizer, ceased salad, pizzas and veal ragú over pappardelle or gnocchi are absolutely fabulous. If you're craving something creamier, their carbonara is also excellent.
If I could give zero stars I would.
My significant other and I drove from Denver to go to a show at Belly Up. We were looking for a place to eat and our friend actually suggested this place. We showed up a little after 5 and the whole restaurant is basically empty. The server comes by
always good and charming staff
Anna and bar staff have been charming to me always! Food and service are great-doing takeout tonight
I like the decor but the ambiance was strange.
We dined there on a Saturday night and it was jamming top 40 pop music when there was so many older generation clientele and the music was pretty loud. It was just strange to have that loud of music in a nice setting. Anyways, we had the mussels for
Great meal in Aspen
We had great food and the atmosphere was also very pleasant. Aspen prices seem to be higher than those in the rest of the U.S. for the same dishes. Service was great. I had the gnocchi bolognese and a grrat salad.
The pasta wasn't the best because the tomato sauce was
The pasta wasn't the best because the tomato sauce was store bought. The stuff it was supposed to come with was very little. Although the mushroom rollatini was pretty good. The service was was good and was timely. The prices are over the roof though

Gluten Free Guy (Celiac)Look, the lamb chops and the gluten free bread had me locked in on a 5 star. They were stupendous ... highly recommend. Fries great too. I would not recommend getting the GF pasta here. I've had great and terrible GF pasta, th
The one thing I can say about this place was the ambience
The one thing I can say about this place was the ambience was very beautiful from the lights outside to the decorations and the bar inside. I do however think it was a little overrated I've had pasta way better millions of places I wasn't a fan. The
The best Italian in Aspen.
My boyfriend and his brothers are obsessed. All the pizzas and pastas are amazing
Aspen prices Glenwood springs service and quality.
So many other great restaurants in aspen. And Anna the hostess is rude. Also I believe the person that had food poisoning on 9/21. We smelled a foul salmon plate being served to the table next to us. Avoid.
Rude Anna
We arrived 10 minutes before our 7pm reservation. We checked in and Anna said we should wait for our table. Then another family from New York showed up and they were sat ahead of us with the same 7pm reservation time. Anna is not a fair person.
Connect with users posting reservations for Acquolina Aspen
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Acquolina Aspen. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Acquolina Aspen at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Acquolina Aspen page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Acquolina Aspen to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Acquolina Aspen!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
