Calico Restaurant and Bar

If you're into Italian wood-fired thin crust pizza, this is the place to go to in the area. The oven can be observed from the dining room and the pizza comes out fresh and crispy. They also have an extensive wine list.

I almost let a few negative reviews prevent me from going to Calico. Glad I followed the 4.4 stars and my gut instinct. Calico is amazing in a few ways. The views from the side porch (where I sat) were terrific. The gardens are peaceful and well maintained. The history and longevity of this institution is impressive. Even the little details like the original menus from the 60’s showing a large pizza at less than $5.00 adds to the aura. Each item we got was great. White bean soup (I ate it before I could take a picture sorry), bruschetta served as design your own, lasagne and home made pasta mushroom dish were all terrific. The fresh baked bread dropped on your table to get things going is scrumptious. I wish I tried the salad, but how much can I eat in one sitting? No matter. I will be back!

We ordered gluten free pizzas for takeout here and as my 5 year old said "this isn't very good". The pizza was almost entirely flavorless, they didn't put on some of the toppings we ordered and generally it was pretty sub par. We didn't finish the pizza and we tossed the leftovers instead of saving them for the next day which should tell you all you need.

We have been staying in the area for a few days and kept driving by this restaurant. We were curious about it and noticed that it always looked full. Well, this being out last day in Wilson, we wanted to find a good place to eat. Italian seemed to be a good change from the local fare. We are so glad we stopped and had dinner at Calico. Our waitress Kate was awesome and very attentive. Between the three of us, we had the Fettuccine Alfredo, the Spaghetti and Meat Balls, and the Pork Tenderloin. Each of these entrees was excellent. The House Salad was also very fresh. We topped a great meal off with Tiramisu and Sorbet. Would highly recommend.

We got the spaghetti and chicken Alfredo with the garlic bread and the food was all fresh, hot and delicious. Shawn, our server, was the best service we received during our entire trip in the Jackson hole/Yellowstone area. Hands down. Would definitely go back.
