ALAVITA

All of the food was delicious! We ordered the custom Battilardo board and the parmesan gelato was incredible. For dinner we got the Rigatoni, Orecchiette (no mushroom), Lasagna, and for dessert—tiramisu. The restaurant is very pretty with low light, and plenty of seating without feeling too close to others. Would love to go back in the summer when the garage doors are open and order a Battilardo board & cocktails! 🍷🍝

We came here for my wife's birthday. Amy took such good care of us on our first visit. She was amazing, but so were our food, drinks,and the ambiance! Five stars all around! The best negroni that I have ever had. We both LOVED the grilled artichoke.  She enjoyed the house salad with a very fresh and tart dressing, I LOVED the fennel/apple salad, and I was so pleasantly surprised when I got the rehydrated cherry or a  bite of pistachio. Crispy salmon should be on everyone's bucket list... She disagrees.  She thinks it should be grilled chicken picatta (but she didn't have the salmon!). I also indulged in a draft Peroni, then affogato and Courvoisier VS for dessert... which they served in a heated glass. Another beautiful attention to detail. Everything was beautifully prepared and served. T

Had very high hopes for this place and planned our anniversary here. The beet and citrus salad my partner ordered lacked any flavor and ‘vinaigrette’. The side of shrimp was charred and if blind folded we wouldn’t be able to tell what type of meat it was over the burnt taste. The chicken marsala had little to no cream and was coated with oil - definitely NOT what marsala should be. The waiter, however, was phenomenal and was very good at his job. For the price of the food it wasn't worth it.

We loved the food! It’s probably the best Italian food in Boise area. Beef rigatoni was our favorite! Calamari were so yummy too. The arugula salad was so so good! Justin was a great, knowledgeable, friendly server. It was our first time and we enjoyed it.

Sadly they advertise gluten-free pasta and its just not good at all. We had grilled artichoke it was very good! The pasta dish was not good at all. Pasta was not cooked enough yet also a penne.. I ordered a bolognese so I assume a thick pasta noodle. It was not good. At all. I also wasn't asked how it was which was weird. My partner said his meal was slightly cold. For $150 with drinks ... disappointed. Stay home and make home made bolognese... and buy a fancy bottle of wine. You'll be happier.
