Duemani

So this is not Italian it is Greek/Mediterranean. So the flavors and presentation are not what you expect if you thought Italian. The online menu is not the current menu. The hosting staff were not hospitable and the server was less than accommodating.
The outside seating was very pleasant and enjoyable.
I am a regular to Aspen and I will not be back sadly because I love to give local recommendations.

Welp, for the prices, you'd think this would one of most amazing meals you've ever tasted with top notch service but it fell short.

We tasted a good amount of the menu and while some things were tastier than others, nothing wowed me.

What we ordered:

Fritto Misto (1/5) the shrimp were dry and chewy
Crab Tostadas (4/5) generous amount of crab, the sauce under the tostada crisps was flavorful
Tuna tacos (5/5) this was my favorite item of the night, very small portion but tasty
Half chicken (2/5) moist but very under seasoned and basic overall
Crème brûlée (1/5) the worst one I've ever had, we did not finish it

The overall service was basic, nothing over the top. I don't forsee myself running back to dine here again soon.

We got a reservation for Duemani at 8:30 on a Tuesday night. The service was top notch. We were the only group dining in at this time.

They mostly played upbeat edm music.

The food was excellent. We shared several dishes. The tacos, which were on special, were excellent and good value relative to the rest of the menu. The tuna tartare was a standout dish that everyone enjoyed.

Extremely rude and unprofessional. We had a reservation and they didn't let us in. The manger did not even try to fix his mistake. Very disappointed.

Let's factor out the small fortune Aspen mandates you pay and focus on the atmosphere, service, and of course, taste.

Walking into the pleasantly warm restaurant, I was happy to see the original but sophisticated ambiance. I especially loved the large window facing the pedestrian avenue. The tables were large, and the seats were comfortable. Plates, silverware, and glassware were sparkling clean.

The service, unfortunately, could have been a little better. I am only knit-picking, but with the hefty price tag, I expect it to be on par with my experience. Some of the waitpeople seemed untrained in basic serviceable mannerisms. Other than that, everybody was pleasantly friendly and attentive.

Now to the good part...the FOOD! We started our meal with a couple of appetizers, the lobster and the oysters. Both tasted exquisite, and I thoroughly enjoyed the "special hot sauce" paired with our meal. The wine selection was limited, but the personnel knew the best pairings for our meals. As for main dishes, my favorite was the lamb chops, and I would not reorder the blue prawns.

Overall, an Aspen classic, and I will be happy to come back!

Delicious new spot in town. We ordered the burrata, tuna and yellowtail crudos to start. The tuna was delicious but the yellowtail just tasted like it was drowning in teriyaki sauce.

We ordered the New York strip steak and the whole Branzino. Both were wonderfully delicious.

My only critique would be that their menu is almost randomly expansive. There are so many different types of options and no real direction around how to order from such an array of items. I thought this place was Italian but they had edamame?!

This place was absolutely incredible from start to finish! The food superseded our expectations for sure! We sat at the bar and enjoyed several of the bar specials and cocktails. I love this place so much I would definitely come back. Not sure why the reviews are so bad on Yelp, this was one of our favorite restaurants we have been to!

I rarely leave bad reviews on Yelp but I would give zero stars to this restaurant! Extremely disappointed with their poor service and unprofessional staff. From the moment we arrived the attitude of the staff was unwelcoming and very rude. Avoid by all means!! There are plenty of other great restaurants in the area, don't waste your money and time here

We had a very bad experience with this resturant. We had a reservation at 9 pm and changed it to 6 pm but they did not give us the table when we showed up at and the manager told us that you are lying that you called. He was extremely rude and unprofessional.

Absolutely beautiful restaurant. The food was good but the menu was a tad limited for me. Service was amazing. Will 100% be returning for a drink at the bar.

Loooooved the Chilean Sea Bass, the flavors were amazing. The salmon, the ceviche were also excellent! Everyone was very attentive and so nice. We will definitely visit again. A new favorite!
