“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“
“I went solo on a busy Saturday. I was going to grab a beer and wait by the firepit outside while a spot opened, however, the host was very accommodating for me and helped me nab a stool at the bar within about 5 minutes. The beer menu was great and I ordered the Crunch Wrap. Do yourself a favor and do the same. It's all the great things about a TB one, but with fresh ingredients and CHEESE MELTED ON TOPPP.The atmosphere is interesting because its a bike shop, but also a restaurant. It's almost like Stowe's version of a Nashville Boot Shop/ Honky-tonk, it just works. I am genuinely disappointed I hadn't checked it out before since I'm not a huge bike person, please don't make that mistake too!I noticed on the menu that they do Brunch Wraps and Mimosas on Sundays and I have yet to make the pilgrimage to enjoy those yet, so you my friend, will have to do that for me.Kid-friendliness: Very open and bustling environment with family friendly options.“
“Excellent food and great service. This was a favorite special place from my childhood, and going there as an adult did not disappoint!Dietary restrictions: The menu notes which dishes (including desserts) can be made gluten-free.Parking: Parking at the Green Mountain Inn can fill up quickly, but there are other parking options nearby if it’s full.“
“We have had the pleasure of dining at Bistro at 10 Acres three times. The wait staff is fabulous. We have been lucky enough to have the same wait person all three times, thank you Desiree. The food is fantastic. Thank you chefs. Definitely be there again.“
“Prost! 5 stars for the von Trapp Brewery & Bierhall! I had such a lovely time at lunch here! We were thankful to be seated by the large windows overlooking the beautiful outdoor setting. It's easy to picture yourself in Austria for a moment while enjoying their delicious German food! The von Trapp grandchildren were even seated at the table next to us! I really enjoyed the cheddar ale soup and pretzels for an appetizer. I shared a burger with my friend, which was more than enough food, especially combined with the German potato salad as our side. I'm not a huge beer fan, but I did notice they offer many award winning options. I opted for the hard cider instead, which was very refreshing! Reservations are highly recommended. They also offered a complimentary shuttle to take us to and from the von Trapp Lodge, which was much appreciated!“
“My wife and I had dinner there tonight for the first time and we will definitely be back. We both had the gnocchi and being a connoisseur of this dish and having had it at other fine establishments this was definitely the best. The sauce was delicious, mozzarella cheese not overly done and the outer edges of the gnocchi a nice crisp to it. The portion size was just right, I could have this dish every night. Bravo to your chef!!!“
“Great amenities, great service, great food and beverage. The housekeeping was outstanding, and the views while eating a great breakfast was the icing on the cake. Having the gondola right there to either go up the mountain or across was a huge plus...“
“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.“
