Our Aspen menu focuses on elegant Milanese-style cuisine as influenced by the bounty of the surrounding Rocky Mountain rivers and farms. A selection of upscale, hand-cut (fatta a mano) Milanese pasta classics are offered alongside mains that include wild-caught fish and a raw bar. With its cutting-edge cocktail program, Il Baretto offers classic cocktails as well as innovative options, along with a variety of thoughtful cosmopolitan bar snacks.

Il Baretto is our intimate cocktail bar tucked beside the restaurant—a warm, inviting space where guests can unwind over crafted cocktails, a thoughtful selection of wines, and refined light bites. 

Throughout the winter season, Il Baretto transforms into Aspen’s après-ski hideaway, with a live DJ setting the tone Thursday through Saturday from 5–9 PM. Whether stopping in after the slopes or settling in for an evening with friends, it is the perfect destination to gather, savor, and linger. 

Combining the warmth of an Alpine chalet with the modern aesthetic of Milan, the Aspen compound is formed from three spaces: the restaurant; its bar, Il Baretto; and the outdoor dining courtyard. The restaurant is located in one of downtown Aspen’s most historic buildings and features elements native to the environment juxtaposed with several vintage Italian pieces. The intimate bar, tucked into a wood cabin, and the restaurant are both oriented around stunning central fireplaces.
