Once again we visited Asti d'Italia at the Orchard. If you haven't been there you need to try it. The lunches are very reasonable and the service is always good. We stopped in for lunch on a Monday. It was very quiet as not many people were there. They brought their amazing bread to dip into the olive oil/ balsamic mixture. As always it was warm and amazing. I love that the employee's are very well versed in the menu. They really now what they are selling...

I had the grilled chicken Caesar salad. It comes with a grilled chicken breast on the top of a bed of romaine lettuce, ciabatta croutons and parmagiano-raggiano. It was delicious and didn't leave feeling stuffed but was full.

Kimberly had the Penne Carbonara...but they substituted risotto for the pasta making it Gluten free..

As always it was delicious and the service was excellent.....

If your ever in Gunnison Colorado you have to stop in at this place. We have been there many times and have never been disappointed. They only serve breakfast and lunch and it usually requires a short wait to get a seat.We went with a group of 8 and only had to wait for 15 mins or so to get us a spot together.

I had the biscuits and gravy. They are huge home made fresh biscuits with a thick tasty white gravy. I always get a sausage patty on the side. It came with some crisp buttered hash browns.

Kimberly had a Gluten free option. It was hash browns piled high with ham, peppers, onions and cheese. It was more than she could eat but I was eager to come to her aid.

All portions are ample to say the least and the pancakes are larger than the plate. They will customize anything on the menu and the owner actually said that the "W" stood for whatever you need...

If I had one complaint it would be that the coffee was below average. I drink lots of coffee in the a.m. and like a "good" cup or three
