Popolo

36 The Square, Bellows Falls

Popolo serves Italian-inspired farm-to-table cuisine in a casual setting at the Windham Hotel in Bellows Falls. We work to create a varied and affordable menu using mostly locally-sourced ingredients. Lately, when asked what sort of cuisine we serve, we’ve been saying “Italian-inspired neo-rustic,” but what’s important to know is that our dishes are all prepared fresh in our kitchen. Our sauces are made from scratch, and our vegetables are cut by hand from the freshest produce around. See our ad on page 3.
