Il Villaggio Osteria — Restaurant in Jackson

Bread at table: excellent and refilled without being asked. No cost Some cucumber salad - one size and small. $17 Pizza - one size and small and extremely soggy crust. $13 each

Sent both back and asked them to make the pizza well-done (crispy) ....and got back a slightly burnt version, lol. I think they broiled it so the top got crispy (and slightly burnt), but the base remained runny. 🤦🤦.

The beer, Peroni, was served in a tall chilled glass, and the wine (bottle) we selected was pretty good - a pinot noir.

Excellent service, though, and good ambiance.

We went specifically for the pizza as the photos on google looked so good. Our choices were limited as vegetarians who don't eat even poultry or seafood.

We had asked for green pepper, onion, mushroom, and jalapeno as toppings. They didn't have any peppers at all. We saw no mushrooms on the pizza either.

[I'm amazed at a restaurant kitchen that uses no green (forget red, yellow, orange) peppers.]

We didn't stay for dessert.

The place was packed, though. Either they have other good food or because the choices in Teton Village are limited, and people didn't want to drive the ~20 mins to Jackson for dinner.

P.S. A good pizza is not at all difficult to make. It literally takes 5 minutes to make the dough that turns out amazing crispy and flaky pizza crusts. I know because I...

Let me preface this review with a date. This was Christmas evening dinner. My family was extremely thankful to even be able to get a reservation. To our server and everyone working on Christmas day so we can be together as a family and enjoy skiing and dining, you guys are the best!

The good:. Duck ragu gnocchi, butternut squash ravioli, lamb shank, and Fennel salad were all delicious.

The bad: We sent back the Arugula salad as it was more shallot than arugula. We all like shallots too, but this was out of control.

The ugly: The first bottle of wine we opened had turned to vinegar. It was a 2018 Nebiolo from Italy. Ok this happens from time to time and not a big deal. The next bottle from another vinter was great. The real tradgey was the Antelope shank. It was the evening special. Braised and served over truffle polenta. (picture attached) I was really looking forward to this! Unfortunately, both shank and the plate were served cold. Not even luke warm. I sent it back for the same dish hoping it was just a kitchen misqueue. The second came out warmer on the surface, but again it was never heated all the way the through. Extremely...

It's incredibly disappointing that in 2023, a high-priced fine dining Italian restaurant offered such underwhelming vegan options. Both dishes, priced at a staggering $32 each, consisted of minimal ingredients – gluten-free pasta, a touch of oil, and perhaps some mushrooms in one. Given the premium price tag, one would expect an excellent culinary experience. Instead, these dishes were remarkably bland and uninspiring. In a world where vegan cuisine has exploded, such offerings do not align with the standards of quality and flavor that diners rightfully expect. It's essential for fine dining establishments to rise to the occasion and provide if not truly remarkable vegan choices at least delicious ones that justify their cost. To top that off, everyone around us immediately got bread and olive oil, and we waited for 15 minutes, then had to ask. Then were met with a surprised 'oh, you want bread? Aren't you gluten free?' Additionally, everyone seemed stressed, from the two people behind the bar who were super short, to some of the wait staff. The host was super sweet and really...
