  Strolling down the steps to Campo de Fiori, it felt like we were entering into our own private nook, with glowing party lights and a warm, earthy interior - We looked over a menu obviously inspired by owner's and chef's experiences in Italy.

  This small, lively, rustic hole in the wall is always abuzz with the Aspen scene. Even during the off seasons, the place is packed. The formula for success is the warm golden glow evoking a Tuscan dusk, the Della Robbia-style murals, the ever-present hospitality of the young attractive owners everyone just calls Luigi and Elizabeth, and the fine earthy Northern Italian cuisine.

Entertainment News, 2007
  Beautiful Vail, Colorado has so much to offer, and one of the top items on your list should be experiencing the authentic Northern Italian cuisine at Campo de Fiori. Its success is a tribute to the husband-and-wife team Elizabeth and Luigi Giordani who developed this dining concept in 1994 with their first location in Aspen. On any given evening, this place is abuzz with locals and visitors alike without an open table in sight, and it is no wonder, as Campo de Fiori simply oozes Tuscan charm.

  It did not take long for this restaurant to go from the "new kid in town" to being an immediate Denver favorite. Mustard colored walls hold flower murals and frescoes, giving the place the intended Tuscan ambiance. As an added bonus its waitstaff has been recognized by '5280 Magazine' as the best in Denver.

City Search, 2007

  Scenesters, trendsetters, local media types and well-heeled celebs all vie for tables at the chic and trendy Campo de Fiori, which has outposts in Vail, Aspen and Denver. All three bustling restaurants are whimsically decorated in riots of color, creating a perfect scene for the clamoring chefs who create big Italian food in a big, noisy space. The frutti di mare will transport you straight to the Riviera, while more reminders of Italy arrive by way of the undeniably delicious minestrone and escargot risotto. And you can't help but love those sexy, sleek, Italian-accented servers whose savvy professionalism is well suited to the ultra-sophisticated clientele.

  As bright and airy as the marketplace this Italian eatery is named for, Campo serves up fresh, regional fare that makes it one of the busiest spots in town. Some come for the spacious, see-and-be-seen bar scene, some for the simple but flavorful fare, but all are treated well by the experienced staff.

  This Tuscany-inspired restaurant is such an authentic trattoria that it comes as no surprise when the host greets you in Italian.

An excellent wine list features a wealth of Italian offerings.
