11 Best Italian Restaurants near Winooski

“Neighborhood place. Good food, good service. This type of establishment is disappearing in America. Visit tomorrow.“

“On a road trip from out of state, googled some options and was recommended Jrs from another restaurant that was reservations only tonight; so very happy that’s how it worked out! We called ahead to make sure they had openings and the girl I talked to was very friendly. Upon arrival though they mentioned they don’t take reservations they had a table for 5 ready for us. Coming from out of state with 3 kids of different ages there were a lot of questions about the menu and our waitress Lexi was patient and kind; speaking with them directly and making sure to answer all questions. Drinks were refilled without asking, extra napkins supplied, she kept an eye out and checked in regularly. The food was fantastic as well, but Lexi was superb!“

“What a gem! Portions are generous- definitely come hungry. The prices are very fair considering the quality of the food. While the selection of California wines is a bit limited, the Italian wine list more than makes up for it with some great finds.

The highlight of the night was the osso buco-absolutely melt-in-your-mouth and packed with flavor. Hands down one of the best Italian dishes I've had in Vermont. Highly recommend“

“Thank you, Pascolo! We hosted a rehearsal dinner with you last Friday - you managed our large group of 15 seamlessly and easily! The menu and food were great and your staff warm and welcoming - it was a great experience and all 3 generations had a wonderful time!“

“Excellent Italian food! Staff is very friendly“

“We are so happy we chose Pizzeria Verità to cater our wedding! The food was absolutely incredible—delicious, high-quality, and truly elevated, even though it was pizza. The ingredients were fresh, and our guests loved the interactive aspect of watching the pizzas being cooked right in front of them.

The planning process was seamless from start to finish. Sara was so helpful, super organized, and answered all of my many questions with ease. The whole team went above and beyond to make everything run smoothly, and the food on the day was absolutely perfect.

We couldn’t have asked for a better caterer and would highly recommend Pizzeria Verità to anyone looking for a unique, high-quality, and unforgettable food experience!“

“I went here with my boyfriend 8/9/25 and we had Nia as our server, and she was so lovely and excellent. She was so kind and attentive and sweet, there wasn't a moment where we felt unheard or looked over. She was an absolute doll and even when the kitchen was running a little bit behind she still checked on us regularly and got everything out to us in a timely manner all white being poised an polite. The food was delicious, and we had several people greet us on the way in and told us to get home safe on the way out. They're doing it right!“

“Absolutely amazing food! So happy to be able to try! Thank you for all you do“

“My family has been coming here for years. Both my girls worked here and we have always appreciated the level of consistency that Mimmo's food offers. Always fresh, hot and delicious entrees and salads. Most recently I have been sitting at the bar while I wait for my take out order and have had the lovely privilege of being waited on by Simone's partner. She is a fireball with the best customer service skills I have encountered in Vermont or anywhere! Everything she does is to make the customer feel attended to and she does it with the most energetic and positive effort! Mimmo's never disappoints!“

“Best Italian in Colchester area“

“Such a wonderful little joy in the middle of downtown Burlington! The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. The food is absolutely fantastic. I had an appetizer special that was delicious...roasted & grilled baby delicate squash with whipped goat cheese, dash of honey & toasted pistachios. Mark our bartender/server was so gracious and friendly.
My only request would be of offer a nice non-alcoholic wine.“
