Trattoria La Festa | Italian

Service was fantastic and food was even better!! We went for dinner, got the chicken parm and salmon. I would definitely recommend stopping here. We'll definitely be back!

This is THE best place for dinner in Stowe. Unassuming on the outside, warm and cozy on the inside.

Our server was great. We had the bread and herbed butter which was delish. They served Caesar salad before the pasta that was so so good. My partner ordered the seafood pasta and I ordered the fettucine with mushrooms, both dishes were amazing. We ordered the maple gelato for dessert, also incredible.

I also had the phony negroni, it is the best n/a negroni I’ve ever had.

We have been to Stowe a few times now and this is by far the best meal we have had in the area.

My partner and I came here while visiting Stowe after a full day of skiing. We made a last minute reservation for bar seating through Resy. Neither of us drink, but we overheard many customers complimenting the bar tender on the custom cocktails. The bar tender and all of the staff members provided exceptional service (including one gentleman who brought the to-go boxes we forgot to the parking lot). We ordered the bread basket to start (free bread refills!) and the herb butter was incredible! My girlfriend ordered the bolognese special (I avoided it because it had pork. I will not comment on the bolognese quality because I do not like pork — it has veil and pork— but my girlfriend loved it). I ordered the eggplant parmigiana and it was INCREDIBLE— so good I could’ve kissed the chef on the mouth! The one thing I will warn you about is do not order this dish if you do not want to be able to order the dish elsewhere— every other eggplant parmigiana pales in comparison. I unfortunately did not get dessert because I was too full, but the chocolate torte being taken to a nearby table almost made me forget about my full stomach. Highly recommend this place!

This was our first meal in stowe and we were excited to see the bar set this high for the rest of the trip. Food was delicious, and it gets full. We got lucky because we were first guests of the evening.

This restaurant is outstanding. We went in expecting good but probably not great Italian food. We were blown away by how good it is. The burrata was excellent, and for our mains we had the lobster ravioli special, the bolognese, and pescatore over paccheri. They were all fantastic. The Caesar salad is also incredible… very well done dressing. The wine selection is also great. The service and cozy atmosphere here is also top notch.

This was the first Italian restaurant we’ve dined in since a trip to Italy last fall that truly rivaled some of the places we tried in the boot! Can’t recommend it strongly enough. It’s a perfect meal after a long day of skiing!

We enjoyed a delicious and wonderfully prepped dinner here post our elopement in Stowe. Our experience was amazing from start to finish. My husband reached out to the restaurant and told them that we have a party of 10-14 guest and it's on their peak fall weekend. They responded kindly and said to preselect our meals and send them our choices a week out and they will have food and appetizers taken care of. Prices were reasonable too. Our experience got even more special when they offered for us to use to their private dinning area it was a large room with one giant table. They even asked if we wanted any special decor or centerpieces which we opted for one because we are minimalists. They were also kind enough to let us drop our wedding cake and store it till dinner. Overall this place is INCREDIBLE!!!! The food was so very tasty. Our party was raving about the food. Here is what we tried...
Veal Parmigiana
Chicken Parmigiana
Eggplant Parmigiana
Chicken Carbonara
Shrimp Scampi
Bread baskets for appetizers
Charcuterie boards for appetizers

Overall we highly recommend this place!!! You definitely won't be disappointed

I enjoy an excellent veal chop. My companions had lobster ravioli. They both noted that entree was the best lobster ravioli they have had.

We had the best time eating here on our first night in Stowe. Bob, was our waiter and he was so kind. The veal chop was delicious! This is a come and take your time type of place. The atmosphere is very intimate and friendly. We will be back! And we also met a couple from Louisiana who now live in Stowe. It turned out the husband knew my husband’s grandmother and went to school with her 70 years ago in Louisiana! What a small world!
