What a fantastic gem! The food was delicious and the beer was cold. Such a beautiful outdoor eating area and attentive hosts. We had the carnitas and halibut with the Thai jasmine rice. Great carnitas and the pork had just the right crispness. The halibut was fresh and tasted as if it just caught. Complements to the chef. Can’t wait to visit again.

Simple, fresh ingredients authentically prepared suit the local environment of Red Lodge.

At Ox Pasture X Piccola Cucina, we are at the heart of Red Lodge’s artisan food scene, the locally raised world class beef is featured alongside produce and herbs raised in area farms.

We cook by hand, from scratch, including all of our fresh pastas and wood fired pizzas. In addition to the Italian staples, we offer an extensive shared plates selection, grilled steaks, fresh seafood, and a small but decadent dessert list, all prepared in-house and served alongside an Italian-focused cocktail program and an Italian-centric wine list.
