I considered the fried green tomato entree and asked the server about bell peppers, which I'm allergic to. I'm used to questions about severity or just disregard and our server didn't do that. She checked and reported back. I got the trout instead and my husband got the meatloaf. Portions were large so we filled up fast. Also on us because we ordered biscuits which were hot and fluffy! Drinks were so good too. I had a tequila based cocktail and my husband had a Montana whiskey flight. It was probably more like 4.5 stars but the broccolini was kind of tough and the meatloaf was a bit bready. Glad we went, though. Our server really made us out-of-towners (maybe that's most folks here, but I digress) feel at home.

Plentiful draft beers options at a reasonable price ($7.50), delicious burgers that came with crunchy shoestring fries ($16), and I added a side of their huckleberry BBQ as a dipping sauce (.50) It was all great and our server Andrew took good care of us. The dining room was spacious, clean, and has a bunch of TVs to keep us entertained. I do wish they would offer stickers as a souvenir but that would by my only suggestion If you're hungry and in the area, I'd highly recommend giving Craggy Range (names after a nearby mountain range) a try! Enjoy!

We received a warm welcome and were sat at a great table overlooking the lake. Our server was kind and attentive. HOWEVER, the house red wine started at $15 a glass (for a wine that retails at $20). We then both ordered the rack of lamb for $60. The plate came with 4 overcooked ribs in a runny bordelaise sauce, goat cheese risotto (which was undercooked and under-seasoned), and tarragon carrots (also undercooked). After eating a bit, I ended up boxing up my dish and taking it back to my air bnb, where I seasoned and finished cooking up my sides and made a makeshift red wine reduction sauce.

Spending some time in Montana this time of year, I honestly wasn't expecting to find arugula this fresh and perfect. It was crisp, peppery, and tasted like it had just been picked. That alone impressed me. The elk tartare was easily my favorite dish of the night. It was incredibly fresh, perfectly seasoned, and a great Montana twist on something you would expect to find at a high end restaurant in New York. I would come back for that dish alone. The steak was cooked perfectly, flavorful and juicy, with herb butter, asparagus, and roasted tomatoes. The pasta was rich, creamy, and covered with freshly grated cheese, but still balanced and not overly heavy. Everything we ordered was beautifully presented and clearly prepared with a lot of attention to detail. Coming from New York, where we are spoiled with great Italian restaurants, I can say Abruzzo Kitchen is one of the best Italian meals I've had outside of New York. Great ingredients, creative dishes, generous portions, and a kitchen that clearly cares about what it puts on the plate. If you are in Montana and appreciate really good Italian food, put Abruzzo Kitchen on your list. I'll absolutely be back.

Food took a bit to come out, but was warned ahead of time. Waiter claim everything is made from scratch definitely taste like it. A little price-y but within normal range of good quality Italian place. 3.5/5 - Caesar Salad - Standard caesar salad, tasted fresh with some fresh slices of cheese on top. Wish there was more crutons maybe to add better crunch. Nothing to complain about, but nothing special to stand out. 4.5/5 - Carbonara Pizza - Perfectly cooked, with a raw egg on top. Creamy, crunchy, and very savory from the carbonara. Exactly as it states bacon is nice and crispy, with the cream finish to cut any greasiness from it. One of the better pizzas I have. Waiter also claim its their favorite and I can see why. 3/5 - Fennel Sausage Pizza - The extra cheese adds a great creaminess to the sauce. On top of it the sausage and bell pepper makes a great topping as it tasted fresh. Only complaint the bottom was very burnt. Usually I accept a certain level of burnt crust from this type of pizza, but all i tasted was burnt dough. Ruin more than half the pizza. 3.8/5 - Wild Boar Ragu - The noodles used tasted very fresh and homemade. Velvet-y and slides off the tongue and grabs all the sauce easily. The price was way higher than the rest, but flavor was more flat than expected. Very little game flavor from the wild boar which is a huge plus. For the price there are better flavors on the menu. 3.5/5 - Classic Bolognese - Despite the same plus from the pasta noodles, the sauce was another letdown. Very watery for a bolognese. Usually its thick meat sauce where the pasta can pick up the sauce with ease. However this one was very watery jsut slides off the pasta made it hard to eat it all without a spoon or something under neath to catch the sauce. Flavor was okay tasted meaty tomato sauce. The fresh, light grated cheese to put on top of the pizza was surprisingly the stand out. No more dried parmesan for me in the future. Packed every night, so make sure to make reservation if possible.
