16 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!“

“The food, wine, latte, and cannoli were fabulous! Lexi provided exceptional service — her menu suggestions and insights were spot on. We’ll definitely be back!“

“We have a friend that is seriously ill and we wanted a very special meal for he and his wife prepared and delivered to their home. The manager and staff arrived at work early to make it happen and would not accept a fee for delivery. They went beyond their duties and provided a marvelous meal for our friends. What beautiful hearts and souls they have. We thank you all so very much for your great meals and service.“

“Really nice menu. Highlights include the custom charcuterie (sp?) where the olives were fabulous and the daily house made mozzarella was absolutely the best I've ever had.
Pizzas are really good with a nice dough, thin crust, and obviously a hot wood fired oven.
Service was a little slow and a little forgetful. It was a saturday night, so the kithchen was understandably under pressure, but on top of this, our waiter was just inattentive.“

“Excellent Italian food! Staff is very friendly“

“The pizza is so good here. I can’t wait to try their other menu items.“

“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!“

“Isabella was a great server and went above in beyond to make the dining experience with our kids more enjoyable. If you have a chance to dine there with Isabelle highly recommend her. Thanks Isabelle for the great experience and making our family feel very welcome!“

“Matt and I have been to Hoagies in Essex a few times as of late and have had the best experience. The servers are amazing, the quality of food is consistent and tasty and we always feel welcome. If you’re wanting quick, yummy eats look no further. Treat yourself to the house Italian dressing. It’s been my favorite since I was a little kid in the 90’s!“

“Something about the meatballs in the spaghetti made me not eat them... couldnt tell you why but the wine selection is incredible!!! Please also get a desert, any dessert and also a seasonal appetizer if you would be so inclined. Very vibes tiny teeny dining space, I love it.“

“Best Italian in Colchester area“

“I ordered two pizzas today. One pepperoni and one cheese. Both were cooked well and the pizza used quality ingredients and had no oil or grease drip. The undercarriage was perfect and had a nice crisp to it. Color was spot on and slices are huge. Will buy again!“

“Absolutely delicious!!! From appetizer selection to entre. Every special occasion and family group eat outs here from now on.“

“I stopped in and had a small Zack special pizza. The food was good. The building was a little echoy. Looks like they were going some remodeling . I would go again.“
