• Contemporary italian • Aspen
Just one block from Aspen Mountain's base, ZIGZAG defies the expected. We've created more than a restaurant⏤it's the home of chalet casual, where culinary ambition meets mountain mystique. Our philosophy blends Italian chic with mountain edge: take risks, push boundaries, honor technique. At the heart of our kitchen, the town's last wood-burning oven speaks to both heritage and innovation. Each evening unfolds as its own masterpiece, where precision meets playfulness and fine dining finds its edge. Join us at the intersection of bold flavors and alpine allure, as we rewrite the rules of modern mountain cuisine.

    We are in the Vail valley frequently and have been to many great restaurants. Somehow we had never been to Fattoria and had our first experience there in May. It will now become our favorite “go to”. when in the valley. The space is very warm and inviting, the food was outstanding - everything we ordered did not disappoint, and the service was excellent. Fantastic evening on all levels! We can’t wait to get back and also introduce Frattoria to our friends.
