Trattoria La Festa - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Always a nice place for delicious food in a quiet comfortable restaurant.

I spent roughly 6 weeks in Stowe and discovered this little treasure on my last night. If you have not been yet… it’s a must go to place. The food is expensive… even for Vermont and totally worth the price. I got lucky and got to meet Tony.. the owner of the restaurant. From what I saw he treats all the people there like friends. There was a sense of coming to see a friend at his place … engaging conversation.. a real hidden gem. I had the veal chop which was delicious !!! Go at least once

First off the owner and staff are lovely. Chatted up my chatty 6 year old the second we walked in and made us feel at home. Food was absolutely delicious- we had the escargot, mamas chicken and the bolognese baked pasta and tiramisu- all exceeded our expectations!

Trattoria La Festa is a must-visit during our annual trip to Stowe. The menu, food, and service are superior. Tony ensures that high standards of quality are maintained. He and the staff are quite personable. Always an enjoyable experience that is worth a return visit.

Simply the best Italian food! Service is always excellent!! Owner is always on premises overseeing everything, so you have a perfect dining experience. Most herbs are grown in the very beautiful gardens outside. Owner takes great pride to ensure satisfaction! Our favorite and such wonderful food, only great memories with every visit!💕

Great to be back at this wonderful restaurant! Could have been a 5 star review; but for the price of the meal (close to NYC cost) and the two hours to complete the service of our dinner.

I had a wonderful birthday here. They made it special.

Don’t miss this amazing spot on your next trip to Stowe! Not only was the food delicious but the service and staff were remarkable. I read reviews prior that you immediately feel like family when you walk in the door and that is 100% true. From beginning to end we were well taken care of. Such a great restaurant!

We loved it all! Thank you! Great wines and dessert drinks. Wonderful meal.

This place was phenomenal! Don’t miss out on trying the Eggplant Parm tower!!

Every dish is delicious! The vanilla dessert was absolutely fantastic and the chicken Marcella is one of a kind.

I do not even know where to begin! This is one of those hidden gems that you never forget! As soon as we walked into the door, we were greeted like family and they had our table waiting! Reservation system is flawless! From the moment we stepped into this wonderful restaurant, it was a 10/10! Each delicious course came out hot, bursting with flavor and cooked perfectly! In my opinion the BEST restaurant in Stowe, hands down! Cozy, family like atmosphere with something for everyone! Veal was outstanding and cooked so perfectly, juicy, tender and flavorful! Chicken parmigiana and veal parmigiana were also absolutely delicious! We had the most decadent desserts! Tiramisu like I was home again! Cheesecakes were out of this world and the chocolate torte is absolutely decadent! Could not have been a better experience! We will absolutely be returning!

Trattoria La Festa provided a delightful backdrop for my recent anniversary celebration with my wife, offering both impeccable service and a menu that skillfully navigated familiar Italian fare with a touch of creative flair. Chef Tony's warm welcome set the tone for the evening, and the attentiveness of the waitstaff throughout the meal was truly impressive. Water glasses were never empty, and the swift clearing and resetting of a vacated table spoke volumes about efficiency and professionalism. The bread service, featuring fresh-baked bread paired with a smooth garlic butter, proved to be a satisfying prelude to the meal. The bruchetta appetizer lived up to expectations, showcasing a harmonious interplay of flavors between the tangy balsamic glaze, juicy tomatoes, vibrant pesto, and creamy mozzarella. My main course, the duck chorizo stuffed manicotti, presented a unique and deeply satisfying combination. The smokiness of the chorizo beautifully complemented the richness of the duck, creating a complex flavor profile that kept the palate engaged. The presence of chunky tomatoes in the sauce added a welcome burst of freshness, preventing the overall dish from becoming overly heavy. My wife's shrimp scampi delivered a lighter yet equally captivating experience. The garlic-infused sauce struck a perfect balance between being light and flavorful, allowing the sweetness of the perfectly cooked shrimp to shine through. This dish exemplified the art of simplicity done right, showcasing the quality of the ingredients and the chef's deft hand in balancing flavors. The desserts provided a fittingly sweet conclusion to the meal. The chocolate cream pie offered a decadent indulgence, with a rich, smooth filling encased in a melt-in-your-mouth crust. The lemoncello, served chilled and with a zesty bite, provided a refreshing counterpoint to the richness of the pie, cleansing the palate and leaving a lingering citrus taste. In conclusion, Trattoria La Festa offers a commendable dining experience. The service is excellent, the atmosphere is inviting, and the food demonstrates a deft hand in balancing tradition with creative flair. Everything was executed with precision and attention to detail, resulting in a thoroughly enjoyable and satisfying meal. Whether celebrating a special occasion or simply seeking a warm and welcoming Italian dining experience, Trattoria La Festa delivers.

Great service and great food will come back anytime. Atmosphere was amazing with very nice waiters.

Surprised by all the stellar reviews... Maybe we were there on an off night. We thought the food was average at best and the prices were crazy for the quality of what we received. (To be fair, we have the top red sauce joints in the country where we live so maybe our standards are skewed.) The eggplant parm was NOT good (sorry.) The eggplant was thick and watery, as though it had not been salted before cooking. Thankfully it was not breaded, at least. The veal medallions tasted like they had come out of a freezer, rather than fresh. The pasta side was decent. The dessert was ok, although the eclair cake tasted exactly like a tiramisu with a sweeter cream (they'll be miffed if you tell them that, and try to explain the difference to you and the "real Roman" tiramisu, as though you are not very smart.) Very strange experience. I honestly don't recommend. But everyone else seems to love it!

Veal chop was fantastic. Mussels were too!

Peanut butter pie was outstanding. Chicken parm breading was soggy I wished it had been thinner to get a crispy effect but the sauce was nice and homemade which I appreciated. Table cloths chosen would not have been my choice but I can understand the functionality.

Wonderful service and delicious food. The owner was there and it seems like a lot of thought goes into every recipe on the menu. Everything was perfect. One of the best restaurants I've been to anywhere.

Some of the best food in Vermont. They have an eclectic menu, friendly staff, and a comfortable atmosphere. Well worth the short trip from downtown Stowe.

Everything we had was excellent. Wonderful service.

Great meal and great service. Felt very welcomed

This place by far, is the best restaurant I have ever been to. Everything was perfect in just about every way.. the owner personally greeted my wife and I, the waiters were pleasant and efficient, and last but not least, the food was absolutely delicious.. I found my new favorite restaurant!!!

The service was fantastic. Nice old school atmosphere. Food was absolutely delicious. Burrata app was so good. Veal parm was delightful. Strudel was to die for. What I didn’t like was potatoes served as side with veal parm and would have much preferred pasta. The string beans were very peppery, and veal parm was stacked so only cheese on top piece. Will definitely return though.

I am Sicilian and I grew up in New Jersey where my family owned Italian restaurants and I can honestly say this is one of the best Italian meals I’ve ever had. The owner Tony is an all around great guy and makes you feel like family. We started with the escargot which was phenomenal, and then we had the bruschetta which was also outstanding. We ordered the lobster ravioli which had the best sauce I’ve ever had. My brother ordered the eggplant tower and we all agreed this was the best eggplant we’ve ever had. Lastly, my mom ordered mama’s chicken which was extremely juicy and just delicious. All the meals came with salad and the salads were even phenomenal. Tony makes everything fresh and you can definitely taste it! We finished with the bread pudding which we all agreed was the best bread pudding we’ve ever had. We live almost an hour away from here but will be coming back regularly. This is probably the best restaurant in Vermont in my opinion.

This was a last minute decision booking this gem of an Italian restaurant and it was so worth it! They made it very easy to book a reservation by texting the number. The service was great and the food was fantastic. The restaurant itself is so quaint and so homey. Definitely a must when in Stowe! 5 stars!

Was recommended by a friend to check this place out. Get a Reservation especially Friday-sunday. We sat at the bar and got incredible service by our bartender Ryan. He gave us different wines to sample, went over specials, and made the BEST espresso martinis I've had on the east coast. Owner Tony stopped by and gave us some great stories and the history of this beautiful spot. Very down to earth people and a great setting. Food is authentic, and farm to table. so if you're into pastas loaded with heavy cream and Americanized Italian dishes you're in for a different experience. Cesar dressing was delicious, the cream of spinach/gorgonzola soup I could eat twice a week and the carbonate was huge we split it and had left overs.

I picked up our take-out in the charming, cozy, candlelit dining room, and found the staff very friendly and helpful. Thank you Tony for your generosity, the delicious meals, lovely wine, and birthday candle in the dessert that all made my husband's birthday special. It was a real treat to indulge in after a very busy Foliage Season. We look forward to enjoying more of your delicious menu.

Their food was excellent but their attitude was something else. I wish the owner just told me that they didn't take children under 3 years old when I emailed him for a reservation. We felt very unwelcomed and were rushed out. We had our toddler with us. We got all the looks from other people when we were dinning. We were seated separately in front of the restroom though. I had searched for kid friendly restaurant before I made a reservation. This one showed up as kid friendly. I realized it was a big mistake as soon as I stepped inside. DO NOT go here if you have a little kid. DO NOT go here if you don't drink wine. My husband took my kid out so we wouldn't bother anyone. I still felt so uncomfortable with others' looks mainly from the employees. We ordered lamb shank and manicotti. They were delicious. Since we had to rush out, I had to pack 1/2 of my meal and ordered a dessert for togo. We might bothered some people since we have a little one. They ruined our appetite with their looks. What a shame we couldn't enjoy the food at best. This place is going to loose me and all of my friends' families as customers.

I have one word - fantastic! From our service from ALL waitstaff to the food to the wine - it was perfect! We went on a recommendation from a relative and it did not disappoint! We will return when we return to Stowe!

Been to Italy and this is the closet I’ve have both in hospitality and quality in Vermont. The eggplant tower was best eggplant I’ve ever had, the Italian margarita was sublime, the mussel special was out of this world. Even the small side plate of caesar salad was amazing. Waiter was very attentive and very nice as well.

Food and service has been amazing every time I enjoy a meal here. Servers are some of the best in Stowe. Food is all fresh made from scratch. Owners always say hello with a smile and are never to busy. Would love to see a dining room refresh soon.

An absolute must to dine here!! Welcoming n cozy vibe! No words of praise high enough for the service from Tong and his friendly staff. Look forward to and never disappointed dining here on our annual visit. Oh by the way, the food is special, especially delicious. Ironically we look forward even to the vegetable sides. Kudos to Andy the sever with the best demeanor, his service was a standout on a fabulous experience. Veal chop was perfection and well worth the price.

Went here on a whim because the place we had planned for was closed (We rearranged our trip a bit for the weather) and what an experience we had here. The food was incredible. The waiter was personable and friendly, very knowledgeable and helpful. The fresh. Read and homemade garlic butter was an amazing start to this masterpiece of a meal. Husband and boy ordered the Manicotti which had generous portions of duck and chorizo inside, I got a taste and it was delicious, but Im glad I went with the risotto because it was an elevated experience. The artichoke hearts on top were beautifully roasted and all of the flavors were wedded beautifully in this dish, a tangy almost bitter from the arugula and artichoke paired well with the rich creamy fresh parmesan, and the cherry tomatoes gave a refreshing citrus element to cut through the richness. I will dream about this dish. For dessert we got the most wonderful treat, an affogato. What a gift to find this on the menu. Boy ordered the Limoncello Masterpiece, which he somehow found room to eat the entire thing even though he was stuffed from his meal. The price is well worth the experience of great quality food and service, treat yourself and create a standard of taste that will live in your memory as easily one of the best meals of your life.

Transport yourself to Italy at this charming spot! The food is excellent, but the dessert is the absolute best. Save room for it!

My family and I absolutely love Trattoria La Festa. The food is always wonderful, and the people are so attentive and kind. Some of the best meals I've had have been from these folks- this place (and the tiramisu) is absolutely worth your business!!

Best Italian food I've had, and amazing service.

When we are looking for a very special place to go to celebrate something, this is it everytime. Very friendly and extremely attentive to your needs. You feel like family. Love, love this restaurant, the owner and the staff.

Muy buen servicio, la comida esta bien, pero sobrevalorado. No justifica el precio

Great people. Very nice experience. Pricey.

Angel, our waiter, was very knowledgeable, interesting, and nice. All his recommendations were spot on. The pork, lobster ravioli, and duck manicotti were delicious. We would love to come back, especially to hear Angel's recommendations.

Great food and service. On the expensive side for a plate of pasta. The wine list is extensive but again very pricey. Very good service.

Do yourself a solid, and go see Tony! This lovely establishment tucked behind Top Notch Resort will have you wanting to return several times before your checkout! I dined here several times & not once did I regret doing so. The food, no matter the dish, was spot on. I could give you a break down on how the sauce was beautifully coating the pasta with just the right amount, how the vegetables were cooked perfectly, the bread so fresh, the desserts- a perfect sweet ending, but those are all things that many restaurants have been able to find their sweet spot on and do well. This place is worthy of such high accolades because of how genuine the service and hospitality are from the moment you walk through the doors. Tony can introduce you to all the locals who have become regulars while making you feel just as special. Following his lead, the staff exudes exemplary hospitality service throughout your dinner. They are genuinely creating core memories of excellent dining experiences. If I ever find myself in this part of the world again, you can bet your last buck I'll be stopping in to dine with Tony and his team!

Excellent place for a comforting (and delicious) dinner after a ski day!

My partner and I have taken 2 trips to Stowe, and we ate here both times. We came back the second year because we had enjoyed it so much the first year. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is cozy after a day of skiing, and the service is great. But what really brought it home this time was the generous, kind, and thoughtful assistance of the staff (special shout out to Tony, Bob, and one other kind staff member whose name I unfortunately didn’t catch) when I realized after the meal that I had locked my keys in my car. They let us sit in the restaurant after closing while I called AAA, and Tony very kindly offered to deal with AAA when they arrived in the morning. Both Tony and Bob ALSO offered to drive us back to our hotel. They went above and beyond, and were very neighborly. In the end, the situation was resolved with their help, and my partner and I both felt very well fed AND very well cared for at Trattoria La Festa. It is not just good food, good service, and a lovely ambiance, but also genuinely kind people who care about their neighbors and visitors, and will offer help without a second thought if you’re in a tough situation. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. We will definitely be going back on our next trip to Stowe.

We came to Vermont for a weekend getaway, and we came here for dinner. Let’s just say this is hands down one of the best Italian restaurants I have ever been too. From start to finish the group of us 10 girls were so full, but we couldn’t stop eating the delicious food. For starters we had the bread and whipped butter, the whipped butter was one of the best spreads I’ve ever had. Then we had a Caesar salad 10/10!!! For entrees I opted to share with a few of the girls, so we could all try a little bit of each entree menu item. We shared the Fettuccine con funghi, eggplant tower, and the burrata. The fettuccine was the best truffle fettuccine I have ever had ! The eggplant tower was delicious, and so was the burrata. The staff was so kind, friendly, and extremely welcoming. This seemed to be a family owned home restaurant, with the best service, that gives you such a happy feeling. Everything tastes so fresh, and is very flavorful ( I usually ask for garlic& pepper on the side, but didn’t need to add anything). If you are visiting Stowe, definitely add this restaurant on your itinerary ! We also got the tiramasu for dessert, which was so rich and creamy and flavorful!!!!

Wow the best Italian food around. Tony and his staff were so welcoming felt like family 🙂 food was fresh old school Italian like my Nonna and Papa used to make. Love everything about this place. Janna and John Mazza

Amazing service and atmosphere. Great menu with phenomenal drink and food options. Decently priced for the high quality we received. I'll definitely be back.

I have enjoyed through my season visits to Stowe,VT. Some Off-season may be closed, though do look to go. The Tiramsu is truly the Best & I have tried many! Bar attendee she is delightful 😊

It was our first time here tonight. We had amazing food and service! The atmosphere and timing for the food coming out was perfect! We will definitely be back!

Charming and authentic Italian restaurant! The owner came to our table and told us the history of the restaurant, which is the oldest in the area. The food was amazing with a number of his Mama’s special recipes! Highly recommend!

Chef Tony and chef Patti made for a remarkable experience. The scratch food was amazing. Great vibe. Come back every year. Best restaurant in Stowe!

This restaurant is welcoming from the moment you walk in- friendly and helpful. The food is absolutely delicious. From Patty's mood changer (Cosmo) to the Ceasars salad to dessert. We had bruschetta appetizer (a special off menu), the lobster ravioli, and fettuccine chicken Alfredo. The tiramasu was scrumptious but the limoncello dessert was to die for! The portions were perfect. Will definitely be coming back here on our next trip to Vermont.

Visiting from Rhode Island and found this adorable place! The food was absolutely amazing, right down to the bread and butter! Home made pumpkin cheesecake was the best cheesecake I have ever had! There was a party of 6 and not one person was disappointed with our meal or experience! Highly recommend!

We came to visit in late September. The food was fantastic! Thank you, Tony! The bread and garlic butter was great, but the chicken parmigiana was out of this world! So was the pumpkin cheesecake! As a fellow Italian, it’s hard to eat anything other than my mom’s food, but this is worth it! We will definitely come back!

Just like Ma would make (if she were a 4Star chef). Get the specials, you will not regret it.

Let's cut to the chase: This is one of the best restaurants in or anywhere near Stowe, period. We've visited three times in August and tried pretty much everything. The first time we had two dinners that blew us away. The salmon carpaccio appetizer, the manicotti, all excellent, but the star is the carbonara. Beautiful chunks of ham and a perfect white cream sauce with light, perfect linguine. Here's how much we like it: four days after our first experience we had special visitors in town, and of course this was the first place we took them. They're from Rochester, NY, which has more than a few Italian restaurants, and they agreed that it was as good or better than any Italian food they'd ever had there. Outstanding!

Tony was an excellent host and took care of us well. I had the Veal Chop and we shared the mussels for aappetizers, both were spot on.

my favorite Italian restaurant in Vermont, great selection with specials that are out of the ordinary and delicious, very nice and attentive staff; hope to go back soon,

We went for an early dinner (5:00). We were greeted by one of the owners, Tony. Watching him throughout the evening he really appears to enjoy what he does as head of house. He also chatted with us as we were leaving. Matthew was our server and did a fantastic job. I had the Veal chop and it was excellent. I asked for med rare and was worried when I cut it off the bone and it was rare. Matthew came over when he saw the meal come out quicker than he expected it to (his words). He was concerned that it would be too rare. He came back 3 times to confirm that it was ok. As I cut into the chop it was perfect. Had it been cooked more at the bone it would have been closer to medium than medium rare. My wife had the Veal parm and it was also excellent. The Veal was tender and tasty. The only complaint I had was that I had no room for desert, so I to take the chocolate decadence home. All of the deserts are made in house by one of the other owners, Patty.

Great service, great food, everything’s excellent! The lamb ossobuco and the veal chop were AMAZING!

Great Italian food that was comparable to local restaurants in Florence, Italy! Every dish was fantastic, the staff was terrific, and the location is great. Make a reservation or come early, because this place is VERY popular and fills up!

The food was good, and the outdoor seating provided a nice atmosphere. Not sure I agree with John Fusco's opinion, but maybe he ordered something different. The shrimp scampi was tasty.

The food is amazing. Home grown herbs & lettuce. Atmosphere low lights & art everywhere. Owner the sweetest person; staff very quick & efficient. We got our dinners fast- 10 mins. Highly recommend this place in Stowe, VT

The food was amazing. The portions enough to share. Had to take most of my main course home with me

Always welcoming extremely knowledgeable friendly staff ..... food is delicious and portions are generous..... lemoncello is out of this world !

Amazing dinner! Great hosts and plenty of attention. The specials were exotic. My cod was cooked to perfection, on a bed of fragrant arugula. Potatoes were crusty, spicy.... yummy! I love garlic and it was a common theme throughout. My husband had the manicotti which filled his tummy well. Lovely dinner. Well worth it.

Best shrimp scampi I've ever had!!!

Really well done. Humble and authentic. Recommended!

Chef Tony and his crew were so welcoming, and the food was so wonderful and memorable. Everything was so fresh, delicious, and you can really tell it’s homemade. They have a great wine selection. The desserts were to die for. We will be back every time we visit Stowe now.

Excellent dining experience. Everything - the ambiance, food, and service - was very good.

A must-go restaurant in Stowe. Some of the best pasta and bruschetta we have ever had. Toni was so welcoming and treated us like family when we arrived. Great service and we will definitely be coming back regularly.

Great service and delicious food. We started crusty chewy bread with garlic butter which was brought quickly and than salad. I had the Tower eggplant which was perfection. Highly recommend for wonderful Italian cuisine

Great food, excellent service. Definitely have the lobster ravioli

I am 100% Italian from NY. This place is legit! The food is authentic, and unbelievably delicious. The menu selections were awesome and I was so blown away by the service. My wife and I ate there for NYE and it was absolutely fantastic! Make sure you eat dessert, it was unreal! I highly recommend this place!!!!!!

Another great experience at Trattoria La Festa, while in Stowe this week. Great food - we had lobster ravioli and duck manicotti after starting with some Bresaola which was incredible! We finished it off with tiramisu which was amazing as well. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

This place is spectacular. Very pleasant staff and the service overall is outstanding. Wine recommendations were spot on to go with the food. We ordered the lobster ravioli, swordfish la puttanesca and the duck manacotti, which were all very good. However what made brought everything over the top was the desserts; the limoncello and the chocolate bread pudding (special) were just spectacular. Overall, the five star rating reflects a combination of excellent staff and food (especially the desserts).

A true gem. Tony makes you feel like family, & his team is so friendly. Food is fantastic, but the service provided is the real winner. Love it there so much!

Absolutely fantastic. The food was phenomenal— we booked La Festa for a wedding weekend kick off family-style dinner. Could not have been happier. The staff were thoughtful and welcoming. The owner, Tony, made us feel like family. A genuine group of people that care about your presence, meal, and everything in between. Truly a heartwarming venue. Would highly recommend taking part in the experience of dining here.

We came from Wisconsin to Stowe for our honeymoon. My wife, Julie, chose Trattoria and we cannot say enough about our dinner. It was the best Italian food we have ever had! She had the manicotti and I the Scampi. Both were fantastic! We shared the Vanilla Cloud Cheesecake ( with blueberry topping) and we would have taken two whole cheesecakes home with us if we could. It was literally to die for a hundred times. All of the staff was very friendly and service was excellent. You must go here!

The best Italian food I've had in the States for awhile now!

We plan trips to stowe around our dining reservations at the trattoria la festa. In our opinion all other restaurants in the region pale in comparison. See you soon Tony!

We made reservations for a larger party. When we arrived we were greeted by the owner like he knew us for life. Our waiter made recommendations I had the veal marsala pictured. Everything was fabulous from the homemade bread and garlic butter, the salad, my entrée, and yes we ordered the tiramasu for dessert. The staff was not only friendly, but was exactly what you would want and beyond expectation. The atmosphere was amazing as well. Definitely the place to go for amazing Italian cuisine and friendly service.

The rating is specifically for vegetarians. Doesn't suit us

Excellent food, wonderful atmosphere and friendly staff. Highly recommend this restaurant - you won’t be disappointed!

37 years of great food and service. While we are not local we were treated as such. Enjoy.

Surprised to see any rating less than 5 stars. The staff is incredible, Matthew was such a great server and helped us with stellar recommendations on food and a wine pairing. The carrot and ginger soup is an absolute must; we also enjoyed the lobster ravioli and carbonara (very generous portion). Will be back again.

Toni is an outstanding host, food is fresh, innovative and service excellent, a stowe favorite

The food and atmosphere is always great but the pricing was dramatically higher due to covid. A glass of wine was $20, you can buy a bottle for that price.

This place is fabulous! Tony, the owner is friendly and courteous and always there to make sure your dinner is everything it should be! Our waiter was terrific, the bussing staff was spot on to clear dishes, refill wster, very attentive. We started with mussels for an appetizer which was incredible. There was garlic, bacon, different cheese in a cream sauce. Just the appetizer would have made the night amazing. We ordered the special, lobster ravioli stuffed with lobster and topped with claw and knuckle meat, in a cream sauce which was better than anyone could have ever expected. We also had the shrimp scampi with pennie, red crushed pepper ( not too spicy at all) in a butter, wine, olive oil, cheese, garlic sauce, with 6 jumbo shrimp and a large serving of penne pasta, which we ended up taking about half home. Both dinners came with a ceasar side salad. The sparkling peach Moscato wine has become on of my family's favorites and the draft Switchback beer has become very popular, we always bring some home. If that wasn't enough, we ordered a wonderful desert, not sure of the name, but I would say a chocolate decadence type desert, which had a slice of floorless cake, creamy in texture, along with a chocolate like truffle, with the consistency of a brownie on the outside, but darker chocolate, with a creamy milk chocolate center, a scoop of chocolate ice cream, topped with whipped cream! It was incredible! The restaurant itself is a traditional Italian appearance inside, and beautifully kept flower and spice garden. It is very clean, there is a small bar, and has a very pleasant atmosphere. We consider ourselves so very fortunate to have found this most wonderful restaurant, which has become our favorite..no trip to Stowe would be complete without having dinner at the Trattoria La Festa. Gracias for the most wonderful dinner, we will see you next year.. Darlene and Russell Simpson Hope, RI

We always stop here during our vacation. The best Italian food. Very clean and tables are set for distancing during the transition.

My husband took me here after we got married last year and it has become my favorite place to eat. This is our go to for any special occasion. The owner Tony is amazing and makes you feel so comfortable the second you walk through the door. The staff is all amazing as well. Real classic Italian food and it’s always cooked perfectly.

Really friendly service, fresh tomato marinara sauces, outstanding mushroom ravioli, and appropriate portion sizes.

Excellent Food! Friendly wait staff!

Perfect, awesome food, service and atmosphere.

This italian is absolutely phenomenal. Top notch. Fantastic wine selection as well

My wife, daughter and I had a wonderful dinner here on a long weekend Stowe getaway in February. We live an hour away in Chittenden county and will definitely make the drive back here for dinner again. The wine selections are outstanding and the staff and service are exceptional.

Good food , very friendly people.

Absolutely wonder, quaint, and romantic restaurant. Staff was meticulous, helpful, and friendly. Food was to die for, delicious, large portions meant we took home enough food for another dinner. Apple crisp was excellent and my chocolate-fanatic daughters skipped their chocolate and ate my dessert!

Great place with delicious food and excellent service. We had veal Marsala and chicken parm with pasta. All was very good. The best part was a tiramisu - very fluffy, light and juicy. The waiter was very helpful and polite. The service was quick. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Exquisite Italian Cuisine! I enjoyed my brunch with my workmate. This is our new favorite restaurant! You should try too!
