Zino

Zino Ristorante has a long history in Edwards Colorado. Originally opened in the 90s as Edwards first upscale dining option, the restaurant took a 7 year reprieve before returning in 2010, to the delight of many longtime residents. When reopening Zino Ristorante, Vail restaurant pioneer Kevin Clair, of Sweet Basil and Mountain Standard, partnered with Giuseppe Bosco, whose restaurant life began in a dish pit in Naples, Italy, at age 15. Soon after Zino opened, Nick Haley, a young, talented chef took over as executive chef and partner. Having lived and cooked in Northern Italy, Haley was the obvious choice. Today, Zino has a reputation for its warm, lively atmosphere and delicious home cooking from the heart, known for both traditional Italian dishes and its evolving, creative combinations. Come visit us for a taste of Italy in the mountains. Haley, born in Saskatchewan and raised in Denver, trained in Paris and Piemonte, Italy before settling in Vail. His passion for cooking is rooted in his childhood, cooking rhubarb, strawberries and East European dishes with his mother and grandmother. In July 2011, Haley became both Zinos executive chef and co-owner. Before becoming executive chef Haley often states the value of how Everything else up to that point was practice. Prior experience defined how he wanted to run the kitchen, treat his staff and, just as importantly, be treated by them. His culinary style, born of his love of Italian cuisine, would now be Zinos style. Friends who are locals introduced us to Zino two or three years ago and we make it a point to dine there when we ski at Beaver Creek. We love the ambiance, the food is some of the best we have had in the Valley and we have had excellent service. We would highly recommend Zino when visiting the area.
