“BEST PLACE TO HAVE DINNER IF THEY’RE PAYING” (OUTSIDE CHITTENDEN COUNTY)
Sarducci’s won hands-down, though, for best place to have dinner outside Chittenden County if someone else is picking up the tab. A surprising outcome, perhaps, since dining there doesn’t exactly break the bank. Conosenti, Chef’s Table, Christophe’s – now those are expense-account eateries. Is selecting Sarducci’s an indication of economic decline or a measure of Montpelier’s meal-time modest? Maybe Vermont diners just can’t get enough of those wood-fired wonders.
ITALIAN JOB
They don’t even waste a lot of time explaining the difference between primi and secondi at Sarducci’s Italian restaurant. You can get pasta, pizza or steak at Montpelier’s popular – and populist – trattoria. And judging from the lines, people do. In winter, it’s a legislative hangout. In summer, families flock to the place, and the riverside seating is molto romantico.
