An instant classic when it opened in 1966, this west bank restaurant has been a favorite ever since. Calico’s longevity is proof that there is something everyone will enjoy at this institution. The Calico bar is a great place to relax with a mouthwatering pizza, hot from the wood-burning oven, and a bottle of wine from the extensive and well-priced wine list. Entrée selections include house-made pastas, grilled steaks, pork tenderloin and seasonal fish. The kids’ menu is a bargain at only $4.50 per child. The portions are large, the food is fresh and delicious and the value is hard to beat. For lighter options, the Calico offers a great selection of salads and soups, and a separate bar menu that includes après specials during the winter months. And with a START bus stop directly in front, there’s no need to worry about the drive.
