A bit of a drive to West Hartford Center (about 20 minutes), but well worth it. Check it out at trevact.com The Maltagliati, and Rigatoni are my favorite dishes.

Located one town away, in the town of New Hartford, Ski Sundown is a great family ski mountain. Ski sundown is great for skiers and riders alike.
