Lago Trattoria and Catering

Newport City Renaissance Corporation Lago Trattoria and Catering

Lago Trattoria translates literally from the Italian as ‘lake restaurant,’ an apt description, as Lago Trattoria is located in Newport, Vermont, on the shores of international Lake Memphremagog. But a literal translation does little to explain the highly rated dining experience found each night of the week at Lago Trattoria. At first bite, the simple yet tasteful Mediterranean and Italian fare lets diners realize they have transcended the status quo.
