“All depends on what you're looking for! For lunch, this place was amazing ? we totally enjoyed being right on top of a putting green and having a beautiful view of the mountains. No extra bells and whistles, but none needed. The friendliness of the service was amazing and the food fantastic!“
“Clean and inviting, this diner serves all homemade items. We had burgers which were excellent but the French fries and sweet potato fries were really good. We also loved the fried pickle served with the food and the free coffee for people dining“
“Their food was amazing, we started out with the stuffed mushrooms, and then I got the seafood stew (the scallops in it were perfect!) and my daughter had a cajun burger. The seafood stew came with a trip to their salad bar which was fully stocked and also has; potato, pasta, and bean salads. The burger came out on toasted bread, which not too long into my daughter just took the burger off of. She likes hers medium rare which she said was cooked perfectly just wasn't a fan of how soggy the bread got from it. Everything was super flavorful. I did not take pictures of the food but did manage to take pictures of the menu. Would highly recommend especially since they have so many comfort food options to choose from.“
“This is definitely more of a restaurant than a brewery. It was pretty hard to order a drink if you weren’t already seated at one of the bars or a table. Unfortunately, we were told by the host the wait was only 20 minutes, while after I gave my name and number the text said 45 minutes, and the actual wait was an hour. While we still probably would have waited, a more accurate estimate would have been appreciated so we could have decided. We spent out hour wait by one of the fire pites, which was enjoyable. We were eventually seated inside, where we received good service. The server suggested the $5 Pilsner and it was a solid beer. We shared the cheddar fritters and the dry rub wings. The cheddar fritters were really good, while the wings had this weird, sweet dry rub. I wish that was described on the menu, but the wings were cooked perfectly. I had the pulled pork sandwich that I enjoyed, while my friend ordered one of the burgers rare, but it came out medium to medium well (which seems to be the standard for restaurants in Stowe.) we didn’t have dessert, but the options looked good. Our experience was still generally good here even with the overcooked burger, and I would recommend coming here to eat.“
“I only had a couple beers and an app but I really enjoyed this cozy spot.Who ever the bartender was the night of feb 10th is a beast. Working super hard with a smile.I will have dreams about the duck wing appetizer. If only it came in the KFC bucket size, I may know what food to bring with me to a deserted island“
“This is a gem. Great service, the food is prepared with great attention to detail and pride and the prices are very reasonable. My wife and I ate here twice during our visit to Stowe having; a delicious wood fried pizza, juicy burgers cooked perfectly with excellent ingredients and wonderful fresh fries, ribs that were terrific on mash potatoes that could serve as their own meal, so good! Tough to go wrong in this wonderful place, a prime example that all the little details separate a chef from a good cook. Well done!“
“We stopped in for dinner during our trip to Stowe. The food was really good. Our waitress forgot our fries and the kitchen had closed, so that was a bummer. She did compensate us though and that was nice. Overall, it’s worth the wait if you can’t get a reservation.“
“Trattoria La Festa provided a delightful backdrop for my recent anniversary celebration with my wife, offering both impeccable service and a menu that skillfully navigated familiar Italian fare with a touch of creative flair.Chef Tony's warm welcome set the tone for the evening, and the attentiveness of the waitstaff throughout the meal was truly impressive. Water glasses were never empty, and the swift clearing and resetting of a vacated table spoke volumes about efficiency and professionalism.The bread service, featuring fresh-baked bread paired with a smooth garlic butter, proved to be a satisfying prelude to the meal. The bruchetta appetizer lived up to expectations, showcasing a harmonious interplay of flavors between the tangy balsamic glaze, juicy tomatoes, vibrant pesto, and creamy mozzarella.My main course, the duck chorizo stuffed manicotti, presented a unique and deeply satisfying combination. The smokiness of the chorizo beautifully complemented the richness of the duck, creating a complex flavor profile that kept the palate engaged. The presence of chunky tomatoes in the sauce added a welcome burst of freshness, preventing the overall dish from becoming overly heavy.My wife's shrimp scampi delivered a lighter yet equally captivating experience. The garlic-infused sauce struck a perfect balance between being light and flavorful, allowing the sweetness of the perfectly cooked shrimp to shine through. This dish exemplified the art of simplicity done right, showcasing the quality of the ingredients and the chef's deft hand in balancing flavors.The desserts provided a fittingly sweet conclusion to the meal. The chocolate cream pie offered a decadent indulgence, with a rich, smooth filling encased in a melt-in-your-mouth crust. The lemoncello, served chilled and with a zesty bite, provided a refreshing counterpoint to the richness of the pie, cleansing the palate and leaving a lingering citrus taste.In conclusion, Trattoria La Festa offers a commendable dining experience. The service is excellent, the atmosphere is inviting, and the food demonstrates a deft hand in balancing tradition with creative flair. Everything was executed with precision and attention to detail, resulting in a thoroughly enjoyable and satisfying meal. Whether celebrating a special occasion or simply seeking a warm and welcoming Italian dining experience, Trattoria La Festa delivers.“
“Absolutely amazing, if I could give more stars I would. I've traveled and mushroom and Swiss burger was easily top 5 ever.The apps I got was large stuffed tots with peppers and whatever the sauce was fantastic. Perfect balance of happy and healthy food. Would absolutely recommend and will be back soon. Great job“
“Moog's Place was able to accommodate our large table of 8 on a whim during a very busy holiday week. Our waitress was great. The food and beer selection were both sophisticated and casual. High quality food all around. It was also 'live mike' night which made for a fun atmosphere. Would definitely return next time we're in town to ski.“
