Homemade ice cream, a vast selection of sodas, and sundaes are on offer-so is all the local gossip you can handle, which is always free of charge. The exterior has been scrubbed up nicely, but inside, it mostly feels like a trip back in time, which, if you have ever been to Wilton, Iowa, you know isn't a very long trip at all. Today, the classic sign- Candy, Soda, Lunch-beckons locals, politicians on the stump, and long-distance travelers, who happily make the short detour from I-80 for this wonderful little museum piece, operated by the Nopoulos family until just a couple of years ago, when new ownership stepped in. In fact, the reason Gus Nopoulos and Nick Parros bought the store was the presence of a working, ready-to-go soda fountain. We also offer an a la carte experience at our new casual restaurant, Patty O’s.When two young Greek immigrants seeking a new start outside of Chicago landed in the tiny town of Wilton back in 1910, the Wilton Candy Kitchen, which we know today as one of the finest old soda fountains in Iowa, had already been around for roughly half a century.
Beyond those listed, we are unable to make any further alterations to our curated menu options, but we offer a full alternative vegetarian menu. We gladly accommodate any of the following dietary restrictions: shellfish, pork, nuts, gluten, and dairy. We try to limit alterations to our menu so that every guest can enjoy the maximum experience that the Chef has intended. In 2021, Michelin awarded The Inn a Green Star for sustainability. Throughout the last four decades, The Inn has established a network of local farmers and suppliers whose products represent the best in our region. Much of the produce and herbs used in the restaurant is raised on a small farm on our campus by our Farmer in Residence, Joneve Murphy. Patrick’s approach to cooking, while paying homage to the lawmakers of Classical French Cuisine, reflects a belief in American cuisine today- healthy, eclectic, imaginative, unrestricted by ethnic boundaries and always growing. Whimsical touches such as a rolling cow (named Faira) displaying cheeses invite guests to relax, be themselves, and have fun. The experience evokes a romantic dinner party in a private country house from another era. Dining at The Inn at Little Washington has been likened to performance art with the guest always playing the starring role.
Patrick O’Connell’s inspired American cuisine draws admirers from around the world.
