Gisella was amongst the few restaurants open during the post-ski season rest period for the town. I'm so pleased that we happened upon it - the ambience was chic and comfortable, the food was excellent, and the staff to be commended on their friendly and inclusive attitude.
They currently have a special of two courses for $29, which was superb...

We had some great pasta dishes and a nice bottle of wine that was not overpriced. While this is not your NY Italian restaurant, I was a little disappointed with the non-pasta options (somewhat limited). However, we will go back again as the food was very good.
In mid-March, 2012, a friend and I topped our short Aspen visit off with dinner at Gisella. We had a very pleasant evening there, and enjoyed both the food and the ambience. My appetizer was fried calamari, and was just the best calamari I have ever eaten. It was so good that I started off not dipping the calamari pieces...

Aspen has plenty of great restaurants to choose from; this is not one of them, judging by our experience.
Friendly staff, somewhat generic "chic" atmosphere; food was delicious!! but it was rich, and we didn't feel great a few hours later merely because we aren't used to such rich good. Try the mushroom bisque with truffled caviar, and the butter lettuce salad with buttermilk dressing - be careful of the pastas and entrees unless you are used to rich...

Beautiful restaurant with very nice staff but we expected more on the service. Not bad, just beyond the expectations. I may try again next winter.
Fantastic upscale Italian in aspen! Menu had a great selection, I will warn of the huge portions though, I couldn't finish an appetiser and primi! Great wine, great atmosphere and great service! M
Thoroughly enjoyed the food and the service. It was our first evening in Aspen and we were quite pleased. Highly recommend.
We had an excellent dinner here after getting up and walking out of Cache Cache. Good food, good wine and good service.
