Have been there twice and both times the food was absolutely amazing. The meatball appetizer is out of this world. The service is incredible they are always on top of everything. Carrie is amazing and gives a very friendly and family vibe. Anytime you are in downtown Boise I highly recommend having a great Italian dinner here.
Cozy, interesting atmosphere and great food. Their signature cocktails are also a grand adventure. Gluten Free pasta options allow me to try most of the menu. Reservations needed most nights but you might be able to get a seat at the bar if you are early enough. Bartenders and wait staff knowledgeable and friendly.
Service was friendly, atmosphere was super cool and relaxed, and the food was made fresh and very tasty. A little small on the portion sizes, but that's because I like to eat a lot.
We dropped in for dinner last night. It's probably best if you have reservations, but there was immediate seating at the bar, so we took it. The bartenders we're fabulous. Helpful & attentive, but not in your face. Their recommendations for wine & entrees were spot on for us. The food service was quick but also spaced out well so that we had time to finish our appetizer before our entrees arrived.
We went with the Burrata to start. Oh my... so good. The apricot-cherry mostarda was delightful. The Black Ravioli was very good & the perfect lighter meal for someone who wants an appetizer, dessert, or both. The iltalian sausage in the Pappardelle had a little spice to it (I love spice!), but not so much that those who have low spice tolerance would have difficulties. I thought the noodles, saucce, tomatoes, & broccoli perfectly balanced the sausage. I would definitely get this again. Finished the night with their Chocolate Tiramisu. Light with the chocolate & coffee flavor you'd expect. My friend loved it.
Love how you get your bill. They give you a black book to write comments about your experience. I loved it! Simple but fun & unique. ❤️ Nice spot for after work, a family night out, or a date. Try it out!
Excellent! Loved it! Mikaela gave the best service! The wine, drinks, food, & atmosphere were fantastic! Excellent wine selection. The prime.rib for two was delicious! This is definitely an A+ restaurant!
