Satisfy your Italian cravings and seasonal spirit at Sant Ambroeus’s first-ever West Coast wonder, where espresso meets elegance in the heart of Aspen. Since its highly anticipated debut less than a year ago, the beloved Milanese import has quickly become the town’s chicest see-and-be-seen spot—equal parts coffee bar, pastry haven, and culinary escape. A longtime favorite in New York, The Hamptons, Palm Beach, and Milan, Sant Ambroeus brings its signature sophistication to the mountains with Alpine-modern interiors and a warm, convivial atmosphere that feels tailormade for après gatherings. Executive pastry chef Guido Mogni delights with a decadent array of pasticceria, from delicate desserts to crave-worthy Paninetti all’olio, perfect for holiday celebrations or for fueling a day on (or off) the slopes.
This December, the Aspen outpost transforms into a holiday haven, inviting guests to toast the season in true Italian style. On New Year’s Eve, the restaurant will host an elegant dinner with two exclusive seatings, each offering a refined celebration that seamlessly blends Aspen glamour with Milanese charm. Whether you arrive early for a leisurely feast or linger late to clink glasses at midnight, Sant Ambroeus promises an unforgettable fête that captures the magic of Aspen’s holiday season—effortlessly stylish, perfectly indulgent and undeniably magnifique. 520 E.
