The tuna tartar is creamy beautifully balanced in flavor and truly worth a try. The smoked duck breast with poached pear in red wine salad with blue cheese and pine nuts was absolutely amazing. The textures along with the sweetness against the tartness of the blue cheese is impeccable. The smoked duck was out of this world. This is truly a Michelin star worthy dish within its self. The ahi tuna was like butter. If you like heat the red sauce is where it’s at with the saltiness from the olives. Just perfect

If I could give 6 stars I would.
I brought my girlfriend here for her birthday dinner. All staff members were incredibly friendly and helpful, especially our waiter. He recommended the eggplant tower and I'm very glad he did. We had such a lovely evening here and we are so glad we found this place.

While away on vacation with my boyfriend in Vermont, we decided to drop in for dinner and we definitely did not regret it! Not only was the food great but the service was phenomenal! Would recommend to anyone visiting looking for a good dinner spot! Pictured is the lobster ravioli & the ahi tuna plates. This restaurant deserves 5/5 stars & when we come back to visit Vermont again, this will be our restaurant to return to!

A Taste of Italy Right at Home!
If you’re looking for a truly authentic Italian dining experience, look no further than Trattoria la festa in Stowe, VT. From the moment you step inside, you’re transported to a cozy trattoria in Italy, with warm ambiance, rustic decor, and the enticing aroma of freshly prepared dishes.
The menu is a celebration of traditional Italian cuisine, flavorful pasta, rich sauces, and perfectly cooked meats and seafood. Their wine list is extensive and well curated to complement authentic experience. I had the chicken parmigiana and it was simply outstanding—each bite bursting with flavor and authenticity. The ingredients are clearly top-quality, and the attention to detail in every dish is evident.
The service is just as exceptional as the food. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about Italian cuisine, eager to recommend the perfect wine pairing or explain the origins of a dish.
Save room for the homemade gelato!

We had the pleasure of enjoying a private room with a large group in their beautifully rustic Vermont house setting. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly attentive and thoughtful, ensuring every detail was just right. The appetizers were delicious, the wine list extensive, and the ambiance cozy. Every dish was expertly prepared, making for a memorable meal. Highly recommend for a special night out!

We had the opportunity to spend our engagement dinner at Trattoria La Festa and couldn't have picked a more intimate, personal, and welcoming environment. The food was fresh and seasonal with generous portions for sharing. All of the staff were wonderful and accommodating which created a cozy and relaxing environment to the point that it makes you forget you are in a fine dining establishment which i feel is becoming rarer for restaurants around Stowe. Also don't skip desert, the Tiramisu was the best I've ever had in my life.
Celebrated my birthday here while in Stowe. Food was very good. Decent portions.

Service was amazing. From the moment you walk in to " welcome home", to the never empty water glass. They pay attention to the small things. Excellent food and the owners walking about to check on you is the added touch. Thanks for the great evening Tony and staff. Highly recommend.

I ordered the veal medallions. I eat veal 3 times a week. Pretty good knowing the flavor of veal. They serve some type of steak. It was awful.
