On a recent visit to Telluride to visit friends we splurged and had a bottle of wine at Alpino Vino. The wine was tasty and the staff friendly and professional. On a sunny afternoon if you want to experience a European style experience in Colorado head to Alpino Vino, you won't be disappointed!

We visited Alpino for both lunch and dinner and had a fantastic time on both occasions. Fun, relaxed atmosphere, incredible views, and fantastic food. You cannot do better than Alpino in Telluride.

Had a fabulous lunch with the off menu gourmet grilled cheese sandwich and Gorgonzola tomato soup. Yummy! The hot chocolate is the bargain on the menu with extra chocolate and whipped cream all for $5 bucks. The wine is a lot on the "steep" side with the average glass around $15 and up. The service and atmosphere is outstanding and... More

I am truly suprised at the number of positive reviews. I dined at Alpino Vino with a group last week and the place is unremarkable at best.

The young ski crew basically could not wait to leave. The waiter did not explain well what they had sold out of and it caused an order... More

Okay now I get it--this place is about the wine (big wine list!) which we did not order because the ski conditions were tough and we didn't want to ski down tipsy. We were expecting a more traditional Italian restaurant. The food is very rich, a grilled cheese and tomato soup with gorgonzola cheese is their signature dish at lunch.... More

My wife an I love to ski, and we travel all over the Western US to do so. We stopped in this top of the mountain spot somewhat on a lark -- the other places we had eaten on the mountain at Telluride were mediocre, or worse. We sat outside, with a view of what most visitors call the "Coors... More

The Snow Cat ride to the top of the mountain with Hal was amazing and was just the start to a fantastic meal and dining experience.
