In lovely Montpelier, we stopped by Sarducci's for lunch on our way to Stowe. What a GREAT find…read more To start, we ordered some bread with garlic oil. The oil was infused with lots of crushed garlic, which left the oil itself so fragrant and tasting of garlic. Perfection. I ordered a Greek Salad with some grilled chicken added. My husband ordered a Caesar salad and their Margherita pizza. The Greek salad was magnificent... beautiful presentation, huge salad and lots of wonderful ingredients (mixed greens, marinated artichoke hearts, chickpeas, red onion, Greek olives, feta cheese and roasted red peppers), all of which I love. I always get it with Caesar dressing, just my preference, and I'm always glad I do. Their Caesar dressing was particularly delicious to add to the enjoyment of the salad. What was even a greater surprise was how much I LOVED my husband's pizza. He always offers me a slice, and I usually take one bite and say thank you. This pizza was so freaking good, I ate the entire slice. It was amazing. I think it was the pizza sauce because that pizza style usually is boring to me. This was AMAZING. Another restaurant I'm sad I don't live near. It'd be a really long car ride to get here from where I live, but if YOU are in the area, make sure you give them a try. So worth your time and money.

Really enjoyed the dinner! We got there early on a Thursday and got seated in one of the few choice…read moretables with the Winnooski River view. We enjoyed the mussels gauzzetto and calamari fritti. The Mediterranean chicken was well prepared and tasty. The pasta special was spinach feta almond slices in a light tomato sauce and I substituted penne for fettucine - I thoroughly enjoyed this dish. The margherita pizza was good. We suspect you need reservations for prime dining hours on a weekend. The decor feels a little dated but the food is great. We can forgive the $2 for a quarter loaf of bread because it's only a few dollars and the bread was fresh and served with garlic oil, not like overpriced $10-$12 Parker House Rolls, but it's not a good trend to charge for bread. Service was good until we wanted to pay our bill - that took a little bit. We'll happily return.

It was a wonderful, "old school" Italian American restaurant with some really awesome food (and service). Most everything we ordered was really tasty -- from appetizers all the way to dessert. Standouts included the Escargot and Burrata (apps), the Carbonara and Mushroom Fettuccine (entrées), and the Chocolate Torte and Tartufo (desserts). The only item I'd skip next time was the Manicotti. It was a bit too rich, and the duck wasn't very recognizable (overpowered by the other ingredients). As for service, it was really first rate! Our waiter was super knowledgeable about the menu and was very attentive. Final thoughts: If you're looking for a quiet, enjoyable experience, check out Trattoria. And don't be thrown off by the large footprint of the restaurant. I thought it would be buzzing and loud inside, but the interior is organized into a number of separate sections that make the dining experience feel more intimate.

Ironically,…read morethere's a very well-known restaurant with the same name where I live, so I knew I had to try it. When I walked in, I was immediately greeted. I requested to sit at the bar and the host walked me to the bar. The bartender was kind and attentive. At the bar, you can order from the bar bites menu and/or you can order from the regular menu. They provide roasted garlic and a warm baguette to start your meal. For dinner, I order a house salad and two bar bites, the caprese and artichoke dip. The lettuce in the salad was so fresh and it was really filling. The star was the artichoke dip. It had hints of sun dried tomatoes and it was incredible. If you're in town, I highly recommend The Garlic!

In all honesty, the entrees were just normal Italian food, it was good but nothing earth shattering. The reason this place is a 10/10 is because of the mussels, it's so good!
