Burlington's Italian dining centers on a small group of long-running rooms and their offshoots, several of them subterranean Church Street spaces. Trattoria Delia opened on Saint Paul Street in 1993 inside the historic Vermont House and keeps a Wine Spectator-recognized list, while Pascolo Ristorante returned to its original Church Street home at 83 Church in January 2026. Sotto Enoteca, the tiny Italian wine bar from the Trattoria Delia team, rounds out the family.
