Hilltown

Hilltown is a celebrated pizza destination nestled in the Southern Berkshire Hills of Egremont, Massachusetts, offering a refined take on Southern Italian cuisine with deep roots in the local New England landscape. Founded by acclaimed pizzaiolo and chef Rafi Bildner, this rustic-chic restaurant occupies a beautifully renovated 1790s farmhouse that previously housed a noted Berkshire establishment. The star of the show is their naturally leavened, wood-fired sourdough pizza crafted from locally-sourced ingredients that showcase the region's agricultural bounty. The menu features carefully curated insalate, crispy fritti, and an array of hot and cold antipasti highlighting the best of Berkshire County producers. Their extraordinary pastry chef creates delectable dolce that perfectly conclude the meal. The Southern Italian-focused wine list features selections from producers with whom the team has deep personal relationships, while the bar offers an impressive array of Amari and digestivi alongside a full bar program. Open Wednesday through Sunday, with hours extending to 10 PM on Friday and Saturday, Hilltown welcomes both reservations (released daily at 8 AM, up to 30 days in advance) and walk-ins. The outdoor patio and deck seating is weather-dependent and available during warmer months. Perfect for food enthusiasts seeking an authentic rural dining experience in the Berkshires.
