Just to comment on some others remarks about the expensive food--folks, you are on the Main Street in Telluride! Don't expect Olive Garden prices. We ate here on a day trip from Ouray on a June Monday afternoon outside on the charming patio with the mountains the backdrop to the canvas umbrella tables and perimeter dotted with flower boxes. Our... more

The food here is pretty good, but it is overpriced for what you get. The wine is especially expensive. Otherwise service and decor is nice. I would eat there again, but there are certainly better choices in Telluride, especially off the main street. more

Just had dinner here...again...after swearing after our visit last year that we would never eat here...again. The food isn't terrible, just mediocre. But, beware of the waiters and wine somalier "pushing" overpriced wine and drinks at you. We had barely sat down at the table and the wine steward appeared and told us that "he has a nice cabernet for... more

Although not the cheapest, certainly the best pizza in town. Split a Cesar and a pie with a friend and walk away with an affordable dinner (for Telluride.) more

My husband and I went during offseason and there were some great specials that made the place worthwhile. Otherwise, I might say it is a bit overpriced. I love the atmosphere and we had excellent service. We also found the lack of wines by the glass a bit annoying. Id also skip dessert and head over to one of the... more

I'm in Telluride right now wishing for some decent affordable Italian food. However, there is none to be had in this town if you want anything other than pizza. We ate at Rustico on our last visit in August. My husband, teenage daughter, and I sat outside (there's big snow pile where we sat right now) at the time. Everything... more

The service at this "Ristorante" was the worst I’ve ever encountered at a ski resort restaurant. The wine list, while extensive, didn't have wines by the glass like Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon. I ordered a Grey Goose and Tonic and a glass of red wine and the bill was $35. Before the experience got worse, I called for the bill... more

I've had some awful Italian foods in America and my family is from Italy and we travel there fairly often. This isn't 100% authentic but you can order some great things. The osso bucco is expensive BUT, it's done right! It falls right off the bone and not too much fat served over a pile of soft polenta and delicous... more

When you are at a restaurant that serves you great food, you end up happy, you savor the experience, and don't mind paying a higher price for it. But if you end up at a place with forgettable food, mediocre service, and half way through the meal you wish you gad gone somewhere else - then things are not going... more
