We went to another local bar and they confirmed that is the overwhelming consensus that this bar has a wicked bad policy & attitude toward friendly guest from out of town. Do not go here. They do not deserve 1 penny! I am going to look into legal option to stop this place from being so intolerant! The bartender was Brandy! Zero stars!! Her attitude flipped without reason!

The array of small plates offer guests well curated options that appeal to many palates. Think fresh peach burrata, bao buns, Vermont-cheese charcuterie boards, fingerling potatoes, hummus and dips, and more. Pull up with your date in a cozy bar stool inside their industrial-chic bar, or head outside to sit riverside on their serene patio. Or meet up with friends - they accept reservations for up to 12 - and have a spectacular evening.

The taproom was a bit loud due to there being a live band plus music over the speaker system in addition to customer conversations. Even with all that my group was able to hold our own discussion. The menu had many interesting options. My husband selected their Cuban sandwich plus a hard cider. I chose their schnitzel sandwich which seemed unique to what I've seen around. The food was good with fair prices. I recommend Three Penny Taproom if you're near by.

There was ample seating at the bar and as a single I sat down and the bartender was nice and cheerful. She helped me through the menu and I ended up with the fruits of the sea.. in an alfredo sauce. The scallops and shrimps were delicious. The noodles were great and the sauce, although a bit thick was very tasty. The only thing I wish I did different was I ordered the lemon cheesecake.. it was very cold so it'd been stored in the fridge as a slice and it didn't seem to be the freshest but it was okay. The atmosphere is wonderful. The location is great. The service is wonderful. I will be back. I'll just order something different. Dessert.

They have a parking lot which was helpful in the busy downtown area. We were fortunate enough to be able to get a table on their covered porch. It provided us with scenic views although it also brought us some bee friends who wanted our lunch too. The staff was attentive and efficient. I thought the food was okay. I had the Greek salad which was good and an order of fried calamari. The calamari and accompanying red sauce were both lukewarm which was disappointing. I did ask if the sauce could be warmed up but the second round, while warmer than the first, still seemed cooler than it should have been although it was probably the calamari that should have been hotter. My husband ordered the pulled pork mac and cheese which looked really delicious and he said it was as good as it looked. Overall Sarducci's is a solid option if you are looking for Italian food in Montpelier.

It's worth it when you can get a seat and eat there. Let me give you the reasons why I knocked it down to 4 stars: 1. Getting a table for dinner here can be difficult especially during the weekend. Yes, even when it's below freezing point. They are that popular and not being able to make a reservation doesn't help. 2. The only dish I found out off many occasions and many items is the sausages. It's a bit more grainy in texture that as off putting for me. Because it's grainy, I can imagine that this was made by hand instead of mass produced.
