Gemma by Angelo Elia brings a familiar name back to the valley. Angelo and Denise Elia, along with their daughter, Giovanna, open their newest Italian restaurant in downtown Basalt, returning west with a concept that is casual, elevated and rooted in authenticity. Located in the former Free Range Kitchen space, Gemma - Italian for "jewel" or "blossom" - represents something both precious and new: a fresh beginning, a new adventure, and a deeply personal chapter for the Elia family. Alongside Angelo and Denise's longstanding passion for hospitality, Giovanna brings a younger energy and influence to the restaurant, helping shape its next generation. Together, the Elias continue their culinary journey with a place grounded in warmth, tradition, and genuine Italian spirit.
