Best Italian food near Manchester, Vermont, United States
Find out what Italian restaurants to try in Manchester. Nestled in the heart of the Green Mountains, this former iron-mining town today is the quintessential Vermont getaway, complete with a white steeple church, antique shops and cozy country inns. Manchester is a true all-season destination. In winter, skiers arrive to hit the downhill slopes at nearby Bromley and Stratton Mountains or the cross-country trails at Hildene. Spring and summer bring hikers who can opt for easy treks through Merrick Forest or more challenging ones like Prospect Rock, a three-mile hike, mostly uphill, that offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains as reward to those who make it. Manchester fly-fishing is also a popular pastime, drawing enthusiasts from around the country who come to learn or hone their skills. Big name outlet stores in Manchester Center draw shoppers year-round. In the fall, it's all about foliage.

No matter what your vantage point, the show is always spectacular.

Christoâs was recommended to us as a great Italian restaurant and we sought them out while staying overnight in Manchester. They were conveniently located and parking was nearby. We ordered at the counter and they were very accommodating with our pasta orders and glasses of wine. The wait for our food was not particularly long and our meals were good portions and tasted very good. Along with the delicious pasta, we also had really good garlic bread. The atmosphere was casual and cozy. There were many families dining. We enjoyed the experience very much and recommend it to those seeking casual Italian fare in Manchester.

Had a nice meal on a monday evening with a friend. I got the clams and linguini with white sause while the other meal was chicken saltimbocca. He was kinda disappointed that they didnt have veal,but we know its tough to keep in stock due to costs. Portions were good, salad came with meal and the house chianti was very good. Dinner was followed by gelato,which was very good. Our server, Alanna, was excellent. Would definitely go back. Was a quiet nite at the restaurant, which was nice.
