Outstanding experience all around! Such a cool, laid back, funky atmosphere. Truly a local Vermont-style restaurant. If you need to know what I mean, take a look at the artwork and the super cool cow statue on the front lawn! First off: we visited in the summer and sat outside on the patio. Didn't have to wait too long (8-10 mins) as they cleared and cleaned a space. There is a small waiting area, but parents: there is a good size arcade in the waiting area! So if you have impatient little ones have them run amok in the arcade while waiting for your table! Server was amazing. Engaging, fun, and went out of their way to ensure we felt taken care of. Please see pics of the charcuterie plate and mussels that we got to share. The mussels were out of this world. Creamy broth, but not heavy - very light and easy to get full on the crispy bread they service alongside. The rest of the food and drinks were so good they didn't last long enough for a photo! The photo I got of the patio was terrible - but it shows how private and shaded the location was. My family members got pizza and garlic knots; the staple of this location. My youngest, the pickiest, got the buttered pasta and was asking for another serving. My other daughter knew what she was doing: she only ordered the truffle fries. I was concerned she was going to hate them or that she wouldn't have enough to eat. I was wrong. The flavor of the truffle fries were PERFECT. You know how sometimes it's so overpowering that you have one fry and give up? Not the case. Light, flavorful, not overpowering. My daughter had trouble keeping all of us from stealing her fries. No one was left hungry or unhappy! This should be your stop for pizza/Italian style foods when you are in Stowe. There was a massive bar with drink specials. The parking lot was just alright - tight at times, but that just means they are doing something right! Get here early and often! I cant wait for our ski trip this upcoming winter...I'll be looking for warm pizza, truffle fries, and some awesome drinks at Piecasso!
