Acquolina-Aspen

Acquolina Aspen Roman Trattoria in the Rocky Mountains

Acquolina Aspen is a true Italian trattoria. Acquolina, roughly translated as “mouthwatering” will deliver just that!

Owner Luigi Giordani and his team, gracious Hostess-Gretchen, General Manager-Cristiano Labia, Manager-Sebastian Grazzini and Executive Chef-Filiberto Paglia have done a fantastic job of transforming Giordani’s previous joint venture Gisella, into a much needed casual, modern and chic Italian eatery specializing in delicious homemade pastas, pizzas, panini, focacce, antipasti and salads for lunch with the addition of risotti, simple and delicious entrees (secondi), sides (contorni) and pasta based soups (minestre) for dinner. Roman born GM, Cristiano does a fantastic job of welcoming each guest and immersing them in the authentic trattoria & pizzeria experience, introduce yourself and make a new friend.

In addition Acquolina features a fantastic selection of Italian wines, artisanal Italian beers, grappa and infused liquors served at the lively bar by fantastic mixologists. Love olive oil and balsamic vinegar? Enjoy the house varieties offered at your table or go a bit deeper by experiencing Italy’s exceptional offerings available for sale by the bottle; but don’t worry they make your choice a bit easier by providing an optional tasting of both.
