Calico remains one of my favorite restaurants in the pioneer valley.
Their food menu is always adventurous and yet reliable thanks to the legendary fried chicken mainstay.
Their cocktails and mocktails are delicious and often invite you to try something you love with a new element. The wine list is also small but mighty always including some things that you just don't find most places like Lambrusco and Amber/Orange wines.

Favorite restaurant in the NE by far - everything they serve is always absolutely delicious and perfection. Above that their staff is amazing! They always have the most welcoming and sweet servers and bartenders. Having amazing food is one thing but having people who make everyone feel welcomed is rare and puts this place above so many others. We are so glad you are in the area and provide such amazing food and experience.

Everyone talks about the fried chicken, which is totally fair, but don't sleep on the rest of the menu. Just tried the catfish and it was absolutely on point.

Absolutely wonderful. Simply put, this is a terrific restaurant. The decor (dark wood and brick, with soft lighting), amazing corn ribs and fried chicken with garlic mashed potato and jalapeño slaw…perfectly prepared and presented. Our server was very friendly, but not nearly approaching annoyance. I can’t identify a single negative aspect to this establishment. My wife and I are eager to return to try some of their other offerings (although we will get the corn ribs again—they are stellar!).

This place has an amazing array of healthy and local seasonal dishes. They get creative with ingredients, and end up making magical creations that you never would have thought would mix well together. This is absolutely the place to try if you’re into fine dining, modern cuisine, or any type of food that sparks your pallet. Drinks are also amazing:)

Calico is a true gem of a restaurant! From the quant atmosphere to the delicious food, and warm service, I highly recommend paying a visit to this restaurant! We are from out of town and made sure to go here twice before we left. We will definitely be back next year!
I think the food is great. It would have been 5 stars if it was maybe 25% cheaper. Currently, it's great food, but I do not think it's so good that it's worth the price. The fried chicken is pretty good but not as great as I expected after reading all the comments. The lamb was also good, but the portion was too small for the price. The chocolate torte was below average.

Great spot. One of the better restaurants in the area. Sweet potato salad is excellent, tofu curry was great, steelhead trout was perfectly cooked.
