Station 66 takes its name from the famous Route 66 that runs through Williams. The restaurant blends this iconic roadside culture with Italian traditions, creating a space where travelers and locals gather around shared meals.
The restaurant does not accept reservations, so guests wait at the bar for a table, especially during busy times. While the interior can get loud, quieter seating is available outside on the patio or rooftop deck for those preferring a calmer experience.
The restaurant features a large wood-fired oven used for far more than just pizza, creating smoky flavors for pasta dishes and even mac and cheese with meatballs. This versatility means many dishes carry a distinct charred quality that sets them apart from typical Italian fare.
