  • Charming
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Romantic
Ellina is a cozy, intimate restaurant located in the heart of Aspen.
Nestled in a stone walled dining room for the perfect, cozy Alpine dining experience. In the summer, the large outdoor patio offers al fresco dining in the shadow of Aspen Mountain.
We are known for our homemade pastas and modern Italian cuisine - Chef Diaz' roots in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico often bring a Latin spark to classic Italian dishes. Our signature Artichoke Heart Bruschetta has been on the menu 15 years and still has a passionate following - a must try on the menu!
Wine is our passion, and Ellina's worldly wine lists offers over 2500 choices, with a particular love and focus on the wines of Italy and France.

    Excellent food and service! The restaurant is very loud, but it may have been the large table we were seated next to.

    We had the calamari and tuna appetizer. For entrees we had the steak parmigiana and the beef short rib. The food and service was great.

    This is the loudest restaurant in Aspen! Impossible to have a conversation. It desperately needs an acoustical refit. Otherwise, it was very good.
