Rubber chicken in tomato water with a slice provolone from the deli. The low-quality food is only matched the arrogant, grumpy little owner man. Do better...or not.

We came in as a party of five on a Thursday night. Our service was quick and friendly. We ordered a few appetizers, a variety of pasta dishes, and a couple cannolis for dessert. The food was really good - a step above your basic Italian fare. The interior could use some improvement, and parking in this part of Brattleboro is always a pain, but other than that it was a pleasant experience. I'd recommend this restaurant to others.

Stop on Friday night for a dinner. Food was tasty but the interior of the place could be cleaner. The waiter was awesome.

The food here -- I can't recommend it enough. Authentic-tasting Italian and the chicken parm was spiced and seasoned to perfection. So glad we came here!!

The older server/chef needs a refresher on customer service. When I was served the wrong dish and his response was "well that's what was on the ticket". He had terrible attitude for someone we were expected to tip. Food was nothing special. My partner's food was undercooked, but we didn't say anything because of our server's disposition. The space has seen some pretty serious wear and tear. There were marks all over the walls and noticeable dust/comb webs. The menus we were handed were crumpled and stained -- like come on, print new ones! We picked this restaurant because it was one of the only places in town that offered a few vegetarian dishes, but it's safe to say it was NOT worth it. Only tipped 20% because as a former server, I understand depending on tips.

It was our first visit to the Blue Moose. Tender meatballs, yummy piccata. The only concerns were slightly too much butter on my sons' pastas and because it is small, the kitchen can get backed up. Great waiter and a cute spot for dinner.

$138 plus tip for 2 spaghettis which were decent, 2 ceaser salads which were very good, 2 cannoli's which were also pretty good, one bottle of wine which was pretty much garbage but whatever..... tack on another $30 to the bill..... overall it was not bad but not the best that it could be. Overall overpriced!!! Try harder and with more love and culture.

Outstanding food and service. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Should have thought to take a pic! Everything hot, fresh and delicious - wonderful service!!!

Maybe the best meatballs I have ever had at a restaurant. Tender and tasty in a hearty well-seasoned sauce. The portion was just right, although the pasta was over-sauced. Could have done with half as much. The flavor, however, was great.

Service was great. Food was overpriced for pretty good food. I got the pesto pasta and it was like I was eating a bowl of pesto with a few noodles. Other than that, pretty good overall.
Amazing food and fun from the heart service! We split stuffed clams which were lovely. The table ordered eggplant with parm, fettuccine Marsala & the amazing Maryland blue crab ravioli with a pink vodka sauce. All divine! Oh & a side of broccolini which was perfectly cooked, lemony garlic heaven. Perfect evening!

Very good Italian food in Brattleboro with a good deal on the 'At Home' menu which consists of an appetizer, entree, bread and dessert for $25 per person. Everything was cooked well and flavored nicely. The only negative - and it wasn't a big deal - was the dessert, which consisted of one cannoli and a few chocolate chip cookies. We would have preferred two cannolis for two people, as we don't like chocolate chip cookies. Will definitely return!

First of all the location is pretty hard to find the sign is not very obvious.when you come in the Decour is pretty depressing it's not very lively doesn't have a very good ambience ! The food as was mediocre at best & the prices of the food don't match the service or feel of the place ! The menu is extremely limited and when you ask the server or the owner not sure who he was or what his position is but he made you feel stupid for asking also they have the smallest beverage list & not very kid friendly as they have no kid options ! When we asked for cheese the server simply said " you NEED MORE" ?? Even though this was our first time asking ! -Also salmon was vry salty & I found it odd they chopped it up !! This is more advice than a review to the establishment HAVE A BETTER ATTITUDE & maybe there will be more Customers /Better tip :)

Excellence in Italian food. Quaint setting... Homemade meatballs and pasta to the nines! Friendly and committed about what they do bringing family style Italian cuisine to quaint Brattleboro.

I love this place because Jan is so genuinely warm and welcoming. My cousins and I (from CT, NY and MA) make it a priority to go every time we're in town...and usually find something wonderful to take home!
