American-Italian Dining in Jackson Hole's Historic Setting
Established in 1966, Calico Restaurant & Bar has evolved from a historic church into Jackson Hole's beloved American-Italian dining destination. Our commitment to quality is reflected in Chef Cody Allen's menu, which features locally sourced, seasonal ingredients and humanely raised game. The restaurant's unique setting, with its 1.5 acres of gardens and panoramic mountain views, offers a distinctive experience for both casual meals and private events. The building's preservation and remodeling by successive owners, including Jeff Davies' 2013 addition of a wood-fired oven, have maintained its historical charm while enhancing modern dining.Our summer deck and lawn accommodate large gatherings, reinforcing our role as a community hub for celebrations. We maintain strong ties to local organizations like Teton Adaptive Sports, ensuring our legacy extends beyond culinary excellence. The open kitchen design and handcrafted details, including stained glass windows by local artists, create an immersive atmosphere reflecting our dedication to Western culture and hospitality.
