  • Charming
  • Great for fine wines
  • Good for special occasions
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.

    Elina was great as always! Service was impeccable. The special pasta and calamari were highlights. Their pepper fettecini was a little disappointing, but we will definitely be back!

    We arrived in town and needed place to grab food, thankfully they had an opening for 2. We truly enjoyed our dinner time there even though it was a little bit too noisy for our preference. Their espresso martinis were so so good!!
