L’Andana
Burlington
Whisk yourself away to a night at this restaurant, which has consistently performed at a high level since opening nearly 15 years ago. The rustic old-world farmhouse ambience, with end-grain wood floors, weathered barn board, Italian mosaics, and chandeliers made from old wine barrels, invites diners to indulge in a menu inspired by the hill towns of Tuscany. Vegetables, herbs, and even honey all come from the restaurant’s ever-expanding kitchen garden. It just doesn’t get any fresher than that.
