The Garlic

Overview
The Garlic is Killington Road's upscale Italian roadhouse — a sophisticated, cozy dining room built around a genuinely serious kitchen, with dishes like pork osso buco and fresh salads that come up repeatedly in reviews as the standouts. It's the kind of Italian spot that draws locals as a regular dinner pick, not just visitors looking for a change from steakhouse and pub fare. The menu is rounded out by an extensive wine list, local craft beer, and a dedicated tapas and martini bar for a lighter night. Open year-round and nightly, it's a rarity on a strip where a lot of restaurants scale back or close entirely in the off-season. For a proper Italian dinner near the mountain — reservations recommended on weekends — The Garlic is the strip's clearest answer.
