This restaurant is under new ownership from what one of the staff told me. They are difinately a friendly staff here. Deck on the river is nice. On the food front: we didn’t eat much but I can review what I did try. The homeade bread is not italian at all and was not very good. The fettuccini alfredo was good, but the chicken parm was not good at all. Breading was soft and gross, chicken was thick, not pounded, the sauce is kind of bland, and the pasta over cooked. Wonder if they even make the chicken parm there or if it comes out of a frozen bag. Alfredo was good, lots of garlic which I like. While you can’t expect much in a small Bellows Falls town they can do better. The experience was nice and sitting on the deck looking at the river and mountains is also very nice – but you can do that with a picnic lunch of your own making at a nice park.

We were greeted by the proprietor and servers upon entering. The interior decor was welcoming and beautifully furnished. The menu was not overwhelming, focused toward dishes that could be vegetarian and/or adorned with a selection of protein. The serving size was enough to feel satisfied and asking yourself “should you have more?” Every bite of our meal was delicious. The subtle flavors that provided undertones to the sauces were always there to finish the swallow and encourage the diner to have one more bite. ” Is that lemon zest? Is that a cardamom or quite possibly star anise?” Questions that only a person could ask their partner at the table, our chef remained marvelous and aloof. Yuri our server was delightful, affable and fabulous.

Just popped in for an early dinner and the staff could not have been more accommodating. We met the owner and chef, the wait staff was attentive, bubbly and thoughtful. The atmosphere in the restaurant was beautiful, with fresh flowers and candles on each table. My husband and I wish the new owners all of the best as they made us feel incredibly welcomed and part of the family.

Food and service were excellent. I had the steak. It comes served sliced thick like London broil is served. Was cooked perfect, but I thought the portion of steak was small.( To me it was about half of a regular steak.say like a regular sirloin cut) Came with great fries and good portion. All was delicious. Top notch service.

We made dinner reservations the week before and I’m glad we did. Busy Valentine’s night! However, the food was delicious and just portioned correctly. We were not overlyfull and could enjoy dessert. If you’re looking for an atmospheric yet cozy restaurant with delicious food, I highly recommend Popolo

It’s been over a week since we ate at Popolo, but I’ve thought about that meal several times. That’s the sign of a great meal. The food portions were perfect, the freshness made a difference, and we especially loved the whipped lemon ricotta crostini’s. OMG!! The waitress was nice as could be and added to the nice vibe of the restaurant. Highly recommend this great restaurant.
