For two star Italian, try Bove's in the Champlain Valley area. When you step inside the restaurant, you'll notice a family atmosphere. This restaurant is very affordable. This place features a full bar.

4.0 of 5 stars. Boves. I have a tear in my eye. I miss looking at the 67 layers of paint on your walls. The small glass of water. The chance to watch Senator Bernie Sanders eat a giant steak and pile of spaghetti.…

3.0 of 5 stars. You know...living in NYC and being a food Nazi and all, but growing up in Burlington...I actually have decent memories of this place. The pasta is ridiculously overcooked, but if you can get past…

3.0 of 5 stars. Bove's is ok. It's cheap, good italian food. They sell their sauces and they're great. They cater - and I've definitely called upon them on multiple occasions to do so. The atmosphere of the…

Yelp.com Review - by Matt W.

5.0 of 5 stars. Here is a quandary. Is it possible to give a restaurant 5 stars even if the food is not the best you've had? The answer, when you are talking about Bove's, is yes!

Yelp.com Review - by Suzanne R.

3.0 of 5 stars. Standard Italian fare but at a good price with generous portions (even for lunch). The pasta was perfectly cooked and service was attentive. A little dingy inside, but then again I didn't go for the…

Yelp.com Review - by Matthew M.

3.0 of 5 stars. Local institution serves fairly decent homestyle Italian pastas in giant portions. It's kind of a diner of spaghetti. And if you needed any indication that Bove's has been and will always be around,…

Yelp.com Review - by Matthew A.

2.0 of 5 stars. Five stars for the local hangout, local flavor and a family business that has survived the decades. When I go here, I find the food not so fantastic. It's basically pasta in red tomato gravy. I can do…

Yelp.com Review - by justin p.

5.0 of 5 stars. Another institution. Again, I haven't been here for ages, but am glad to see it seems to still be alive and kicking. I think that Bove's was here when the pilgrims first arrived, and I'm glad to…

Yelp.com Review - by Jim W.

4.0 of 5 stars. So I dined at Bove's for the first time yesterday on a business trip to Burlington. I'll definitely be going back to try other sauces. Just the basic marinara left a great taste that lingered. Prices…

3.0 of 5 stars. Bove's is cheap and the food isn't bad. Definitely get the cake if they have it. For some reason, it always feels/seems dirty to me. Maybe it's the duct tape on the seat or the sticky tables.

Yelp.com Review - by Chris B.

5.0 of 5 stars. I can't believe nobody has reviewed Bove's yet! A Burlington institution for decades, Bove's is simply wonderful. Okay, it isn't much to look at - the exterior and interior decor haven't been…

Frommer's

A Burlington landmark since 1941, Bove's is a classic red-sauce-on-spaghetti joint a couple of blocks from the Church Street Marketplace -- and nothing costs more than 9 bucks. The facade is black and white,...
