Try the Prunes with Marscapone for dessert...seriously good. Chris Alberti's ragu is made in house and one of the great choices. Reservations are a must right now so call ahead!

Being here really captures that complete essence of the Vermont community experience. A friendly owner who is personally on hand to ensure great hospitality, and... the meals, just delightful and bursting with flavor. Worldly in origin but also bringing in little touches of the local goodness, as well. A truly exceptional destination dinner spot!

So we mad a reservation for tonight and found ourselves in an emergency. During the emergency I still remembered to call and let them know we could not make it. The person answering the phone was extremely rude and hung up on me. When I called him back to confirm that we were not coming and to tell him how unprofessional it was to hang up on me, he began yelling at me and telling me that I had no idea how many people had already cancelled. He was not at all concerned that we had to cancel due to an emergency. I am not from this area but came to celebrate my daughters birthday and spend our hard earned money here. This was supposed to be her birthday dinner and it wasn’t bad enough that we can’t make it due to an emergency but to be treated so badly is disheartening.

I always struggle between ordering the bolognese or the pecorino balsamic chicken. My mouth is watering just thinking about both of those dishes. Whenever the banana parfait is on the dessert menu, I order an additional one to take home. Chris the owner and Shelly the bartender are always a delight to chit chat with. The atmosphere is cozy and warm, and the service is always top-notch. We will be regular customers forever :
