Aperitivo Time in Frisco, Colorado

What Is Aperitivo Time?

A European Dining Tradition in the Heart of Frisco, Colorado

At Frisco Inn on Galena, Aperitivo Time is more than a pre-dinner gathering — it’s a cherished European tradition brought to life in the Colorado Rockies.

Originating in Italy and embraced across Spain, aperitivo is a social ritual that takes place before dinner. It’s a time to slow down, gather with friends and loved ones, and transition from the energy of the day into a relaxed, convivial evening.

Here at our boutique mountain inn, Aperitivo Time invites you to unwind in our welcoming dining room or on the patio, surrounded by mountain ambiance and warm hospitality.

An Elevated Social Experience

Aperitivo begins daily from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm.

Your experience starts with a complimentary limoncello cordial — a nod to its Italian roots — followed by the opportunity to select from our curated beer and wine offerings.

As conversation flows, guests enjoy a chef-prepared appetizer buffet featuring seasonal tapas and small plates designed to complement your beverage and stimulate the appetite before dinner.

It’s an experience defined by:

• Relaxed conversation
• Fireside ambiance
• Mountain hospitality
• Thoughtfully curated small plates
• A welcoming, social atmosphere

Whether you’re reconnecting with a partner, meeting fellow travelers, or gathering with family, Aperitivo creates a sense of shared connection that sets the tone for the evening.

Continue the Experience at Mt. Royal Bistro

Many guests choose to extend their evening by ordering from our daily dinner and dessert selections at the Mt. Royal Bistro. Our tapas-inspired menu blends Italian and Spanish influences with fresh mountain ingredients — creating a dining experience unique to Frisco.

From gourmet breakfast to evening Aperitivo and signature dinner offerings, dining at Frisco Inn on Galena is thoughtfully curated from start to finish.

Why Aperitivo Time Is Special

Unlike typical hotel happy hours, Aperitivo Time at our Inn is intentional and intimate. It reflects our philosophy of refined mountain hospitality — blending European tradition with authentic Colorado charm.

Guests often describe it as:

• The highlight of their stay
• A relaxing transition after skiing or hiking
• A romantic prelude to dinner
• A welcoming way to meet fellow travelers

It’s a daily ritual that feels both elevated and comfortably at home.
