Fortunately I called ahead to confirm since I realized I had no e-mail or text about it, and they were able to make a reservation anyway. The food was delicious. The pasta for my "Treviso Parm" was cooked perfectly al dente; it's amazing how many places can't get that right. The chicken cutlet was still moist and juicy, just the right amount of tomato sauce bring it all together. The sauce was also nice in that it wasn't too sweet. These days that's hard to find. Service was prompt, good, friendly. No complaints there. The ambiance is one of modern Italian. Interesting integrations of art panels with etched items like tomatoes or herbs gave it a fun atmosphere. Definitely one of the better spots in Rutland for more upscale dining.

Sausage had no spices and appeared to have been grilled. Two links were on top of the spaghetti not sliced and cooked in the sauce. Sauce was good but spaghetti was very sticky.

My mother had the lasagna and said it was good. A lot to improve on the food and service.

The waiter took our orders soon after we were seated and food came about 15 minutes later hot and fresh, they offer to grate cheese on your pasta table side. The tomato linguine was tasty and simple as expected, glad we added the Parmesan! Salmon was cooked well, I wish the pasta was slightly more rich but it was flavorful and the lemon was noticeable for sure but not too overpowering (and you can always not use the extra lemon). Glad we stopped by, the restaurant has a casual and lovely warm atmosphere!

TL;DR: Hit-or-miss takeout that leaves a bit to be desired. Pizza was decent, pasta was a miss…read more Chicken Parm (2/5): The closest comparison is honestly the DHMC cafeteria. The cutlet was dry, the breading completely slid off the moment I cut into it, and there was barely enough sauce for the pasta. To be fair, the sauce itself tasted good, but the execution was lacking. Sweet Sausage & Pepperoni Pizza (3.5/5): Much better. The crust had a solid medium thickness--neither paper-thin nor overly doughy--with a generous amount of meat. It leaned slightly salty, but it had enough going for it to make me curious about their other pies. A minor annoyance: takeout didn't come with any utensils, which made digging into the pasta a hassle. Might consider returning to try another pizza, but with better options in the Upper Valley, it's not at the top of the rotation.

I'm not normally a bread and butter before dinner gal but it hit the spot. I split two pastas, and one of them was okay, while the other was AMAZING. The chicken carbonara was a 7/10. Not a bad pasta, but nothing crazy. It really tasted like Alfredo pasta with a bit more savoryness. On the other hand, the short rib Bolognese was way better than expected. 10/10, honestly. The short rib was tender and melted in your mouth and the sauce wasn't just a standard marinara. It was richer, with a sort of creaminess and perhaps even a good amount of cheese. It was AMAZING. Definitely the spot to go in Hanover.

My experience at Jesse's could not have been better. The menu is generally spartan on chicken, but, on the night of my visit, Chicken Teriyaki was a nightly special. The Chicken Teriyaki could not have been better. The chicken was not the usual restaurant/Sysco rubbery chicken variety, but, instead, real, plump chicken breasts. The only thing missing was some extra teriyaki sauce (the chicken was a little on the dry side), and in a matter of seconds, it appeared. Jesse's has long been a reliable, staple in the Hanover community, and it has maintained that distinction. Jesse's once, fabulous salad bar, is reduced to a memory, but, I think that went the way of Covid 19, and has not been seen again. Staff were attentive, minus the host who had gone missing from the podium, kind, welcoming and professional. The restaurant is immaculate.

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.
