Stonehurst is also proud to say we have recently added our signature homemade pasta to the menu.  This delicious indulgence is made on site in our kitchen by our staff.  How about some tasty bread with your pasta?  Well lucky you because we also make our own sourdough bread which is baked to perfection in our brick oven to ensure the fresh flavor!  We have a whole list of Italian foods which are sure to ease your appetite after a long day of snow skiing and to rejuvenate you for your next day on the slopes.
