We have to this place twice. The first time we shared a special appetizer that included peaches, tomatoes, avocado, mozzarella, basil, and balsamic reduction along with a Margherita pizza. It was delicious! The second time we shared a Caesar salad along Spaghettini. It was also delicious. The service was so personable and great. This spot is really good. read more

Ate lunch here while on a work trip in Carbondale. Great outdoor covered patio. Service was friendly and very accommodating. My colleague wanted the chicken parm which was one on the dinner menu but they gladly made it for him and it was delicious! Chicken was perfectly cooked crispy on the outside and juicy and tender inside. We got the burrata and tomato app which was drizzled with balsamic and came with toasted bread. I got the blackened salmon pasta in a light cream sauce which had great flavor! read more

Mezzaluna Willits - Italian Near Me - Basalt, Colorado

We recently hosted a dinner here for 22 of our community partners! The restaurant is beautiful and such a fun space to gather! The service was incredible and every server greeted our guests with a smile! I had to make a last minute change to the menu on the dessert choice - the flourless chocolate torte is incredible! Would highly recommend for hosting a large group here. read more

Service was excellent but food was just basic and blah, blah like they had run out of garlic and didn't know how to season anything. I ordered the buffalo mozzarella salad with tomatoes Ava's it came with 4 little cherries tomatoes. I won't go back unless I'm desperate read more

Loved the pizza at Mezzaluna! Super fresh, great crust, and chill vibes. Definitely coming back!

The food was excellent, properly cooked as well as delicious! Service was friendly and efficient. Seated outside was comfortable and inviting. read more

We traveled to Carbondale to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday with our extended family. The first dining experience in the valley this trip was to Mezzaluna Willits to celebrate my birthday and my son's MIL's birthday. There were 10 of us and we had a fun and fabulous dinner. Everyone ordered so many different dishes and everyone loved their food. I had the chicken piccata and I absolutely loved it. (5+/5!) our server Josh said that local regulars will come in weekly to have it and now I wish I could too! The chicken was cooked perfectly and the accompanying polenta and asparagus were perfect flavors to enhance the entire dish. The other entrees ordered were the Margherita pizza, Caesar salad, salmon risospecial, arugula pizza, chicken and noodles, mushrooms and pasta...so much variety. (The only comment heard for constructive feedback was that the pizza crust needed more flavor as it was very plain tasting.) The restaurant is beautiful and comfortable. Josh was a super server to our big group. I think it helps to have locals with you as the camaraderie is evident with fellow residents and business owners. I would love to return again, maybe before we leave. Highly recommend. read more

Great place for an Italian dish! We came here after skiing and it hits the spot. It's on the nicer end with great drinks! The waiters are sweet and conveniently located in willits around many other great stops. read more

We stayed at the Hilton across the way and decided to give this restaurant a try since it was within walking distance. We looked at the menu online and saw Oso Bucco on the menu which is what really drew us in, but upon arriving was told it was not available. However, they redeemed themselves with good steak carpaccio and great homemade pasta. The wine list is a little light on Italian wines, it's "lite" authentic Italian inspired, but it's not terribly busy and so easy to get into and service is good. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit, but the patio does look like a great place to enjoy an aperol spritz on a hot day. read more

Food was incredible. Best I've had in the whole valley hands down. Our waitress was so friendly and helpful. Service was excellent. The restaurant has a great atmosphere. Highly recommend!! read more

Many locals (always at the best places) make for fun and frivolity in an ambiance that is inviting and never disappoints! An Aspen hotspot for many years that spawned this popular eatery for the down valley crowd. Good food and reasonable prices. Don't pass this place up for lunch or dinner. read more

Walked in and then right out. It had a strong fish odor and was not a warm and inviting environment.

The food was simply amazing! The service was great. The ambiance quaint and delightful. We loved our meal. read more

Excellent food. Everyone was sharing. Waiter was attentive and friendly pricing was good and atmosphere relaxing

I have been going to Mez for nearly 20 years. I have become friendly with the staff. The food is always top notch.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Their menu is fun and interesting as is their drink menu.

I had dinner here on a recent work trip to Basalt. Such a cute restaurant. The food was delicious, and you could tell it was a local favorite. The staff and management were hugging and welcoming back a bunch of the guests. The only downside is that the locals were getting so much attention, the service for us little people was a bit slow haha. read more

This will never be the best Italian food you've ever had (I hope), but it's definitely good and without fail consistent. The vibe is low key and gives locals a great affordable dining option. The staff is always friendly and there are always great specials to mix up the menu. JP has a great team and is always incredibly welcoming! read more

One of our favorite meals in Aspen area. . Sarah and Harrison took care of us and did a great job. We ordered grilled romaine and split it. Outstanding. I ordered linguine with mushrooms which I highly recommend. She ordered short rib ravioli and loved it. read more

I have been to Mezzaluna over fifty times, Aspen and Willits locations, influenced by my parents and grandparents, it was maybe better when I was younger, but I have to say this is one of the most inconsistent and over priced restaurants, service is usually very good, and the ambiance is nice, clean restaurant, but the food is just simply not very good, pizza is soft, pastas are always swimming in sauce no flavor, dishes are always different tasting, I wish it could be go to Italian spot but it's far from that. read more

Usually come here for the pizza, which is pretty good Neapolitan. But last time I was there I noticed they had cioppino as a special on Saturday nights (and one other night, Friday or Sunday, I can't remember). Being from San Francisco, the home of cioppino, I had to try it. It was an excellent dish, but not particularly authentic. It was more like bouillabaisse. And that was fine because I like bouillabaisse as well. In fact, I'm looking forward to going back and having it again! Highly recommend it. read more

Y'all! Don't know where to start. This is one of the best meals we have had all summer! Not just in Aspen area - but ALL SUMMER! First - heck of a wine deal. Then for apps we had the Mushroom Arancini and also an order of the mussels - both were winners. Everyone agreed. But then the entrees - seriously - we all stole bites of each other claimed each better than the next. All incredible! We had the Chicken Parmesan, the Linguini and goat cheese and mushrooms, the Italian Job pizza WITH a gluten free crust and the beet salad - all were amazing. We're coming back tomorrow. Not lying. Great service Great food Reasonable priced New fav!! Happy happy happy. read more

Had chicken parmigiana with spaghetti. I don't understand why most US restaurants destroys good pasta with an overload of tomato sauce. To make a tasty pasta you need less than a third of the sauce served here. On top of that the chicken was tough, not tender. My Italian wife would have cried seeing this dish butchered this way. read more

I came in at for happy hour and it was so delicious I had the shrimp appetizer pizza and a beef carpaccio all for myself. It was delicious. When I came in a man was working under the sink in the bar and a man was standing next to the bar and he just looked at me when I came in and he didn't say anything about five minutes later I asked him for a menu he ended up being the bartender I don't know what that was about? read more

Is good Italian food but definitely is not the best in the valley. The price is a bit high for Willits, but some people think it's reasonable (not for me for sure). I had apple & baby spinach salad add blackened ahi tuna cost me $21.50, it was good salad and I wish the portion is a bit bigger ( more spinach). My friend had the whole wheat pizza and it taste Ok and she had to send it back, she reordered something else instead. Service is good, maybe add smiles next time. Thank you Mezzaluna, maybe next time I'll have a better dining experience. read more

The food is what gives it four stars. The full star was taken off for inattentive service and the prices. Was there Saturday with a group of 8 and had a delicious meal. I had the Brussels sprout salad with chicken on top. Also enjoyed a martini special. 30 bucks for everything not including tip. Our server was slow and inattentive. It was almost like we were a 335 dollar inconvenience for him. read more

Eaten here three or four times with different small groups in past few months. Everyone has loved their food. Now our go to Italian restaurant in the valley. read more

We were visiting the Aspen area from Florida and stumbled upon this gem. We arrived early. The restaurant is tastefully modern in decor. The service was good but I believe they could they were short staffed. I had short rib ravioli and my companion had chicken piccata with polenta. Both were excellent. Drinks and bread and calamari were all very good. If you are in the area give this place a try. Prices are reasonable so give them a try! read more

I was blown away by the service, the delicious blend of the spinach, mushrooms, strawberry balsamic reduction in the duck leg confit. Highly recommend if you're staying in the basalt area! read more

We stopped by for happy hour and settled in at an outside table only to be told by a server that we needed to sit at the bar to obtain happy hour pricing. My wife was on crutches so the manager's approval was required for us to sit at a table for happy hour. The bar and restaurant are beautiful and the wood fired pizza so tempting, but we stuck with 4 house margaritas at $5 each before departing. read more

Incredible Service, very hometown/small community feeling restaurant. The waiter had excellent recommendations based off of what we were feeling like eating that night as well as drinking. I highly recommend stopping in this place! read more

Why is a restaurant that is closed for lunch daily closed on Thursday nights???? I was so looking forward to dinner: fucking closed. I won't be back. El Korita is open! Go there. read more

Hard to believe the rating this restaurant has . Service was horrible had to wait to come in ,wait for the menu ,wait for the waiter to take order and still had to wait some more to have the WAITER! Take the Oder. Then it took 20 minutes for the drinks to show up witch I had to call manager get our glasses of wine that was sitting at the bar station. Then it took another waiter to bring food , then had to ask another waiter to bring a steak knife to eat my steak really ! Then when my steak and fries was place at table the plate would spin around like a lazy Susan going around and around . I did show the manger and he looked at me like it's supposed to be like that Really! Every time i tried to cut a piece of steak the plate would move around . To fix the problem I had to place my napkin under neath it to keep it from spinning around . Waiter had the Nerve to ask me how's everything. Steak was burned but the Calamari was good but they didn't bring lemon wedges with the Oder had to ask another waiter to bring it by then I was almost done with it . Worst experience ever . read more

Food is great. Very nice wine list. Punches above it's weight price wise, it's very very good.

The BEST chicken piccata EVER, perfectly prepared veggies, and great service. Mezzaluna also has a nice patio with lots of umbrellas for rain or shine, which allowed us to dine in both types of weather safely outside during our visit to Willits Center/Basalt. Can't wait to go back!!! read more

Beat Pizza in Basalt. WhiteHouse Pizza in CarbonDale is the only pizza in the area that competes.

After traveling for 12 hours I was looking for the perfect place to grab a great meal. This place was it! Located in a cute little circle of restaurants is this romantic but not too fancy Italian restaurant. It is warm and super cozy. I ordered the grilled salmon and a side of fries. The salmon was cooked PERFECTLY and the the cauliflower mash and broccoli side was amazing. Filled with flavor and left me totally satisfied. The sides were small for the price but I was filled by the end with the fries. I went with three work friends and it was the perfect vibe for a dinner and a quick drink. This restaurant also is great for a date or a family dinner out. I would recommend this to anyone staying in this area for a great meal! read more

The food was absolutely amazing. I definitely give the food 7 stars. The only reason I didn't go 5, is the staff (really only our waitress) was a little snotty and judgemental. But other than that, despite the fact they ran out of cider for their signature drink, all was amazing would recommend read more

Too expensive for the small portions. We ordered a simple salad and a ceaser salad with chicken. The simple salad was three times the size of the ceaser salad, and cost twice as much! If you're looking for pizza and drinks, then it's a pretty good place for that. read more
