I can't wait to return!! The staff was incredibly patient as I scoured all the choices with a magnifying glass. I chose three tacos and due to a restricted diet, a salad. The salad was huge, the carnitas and carne asado tacos were outstanding, the pickled carrots, jalapenos, onions and peppers were so fresh and homemade!! The salsa verde I couldn't stop asking for more!! The staff, management and servers were so on it and truly kind to us and all their, obvious, returning diners!! Nothing was remotely empty as they consistently checked back with us, and everyone else, and boy did we devour everything!! I can't wait to return to this restaurant again. 7 stars!! Thank you Dave for recommending this gem!!! Prices were incredibly reasonable as well. Authenticity and kindness at it's best!!

Brick 243 in Pocatello is a must-visit for anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience, even if you're just grabbing a bite at the bar! We opted for bar seating and were thoroughly impressed by the attentiveness of the staff. The warm bread with pesto was a delightful way to start. It was fresh, flavorful, and the perfect appetizer to share. But the real stars of the show were the small plates we ordered. The mushroom pesto crostini offered an explosion of savory goodness, while the nutty goat roll was a taste sensation - a must-try for cheese lovers! Overall, Brick 243 delivered delicious food, friendly service, and a comfortable atmosphere. We highly recommend it to anyone passing through Pocatello, whether you're looking for a full meal or just a casual bite at the bar. read more

I've been three times and the service and food was excellent on each occasion. Atmosphere is really cool too. Great addition to Pocatello (any food scene, really). The soup (tomato bisque) and salad are perfect. And I highly recommend the sausage and peppers, tacos, and mushroom pesto crostini. Great wine list too! read more

Still full... and still in awe. We had the absolute best time--and honestly, we're not sure what was more impressive: the insanely good food, the gorgeous vibe, or the fact that we didn't try to lick the plates.

On our recent visit to Pocatello for this weekend's marathon, we ate at PV's for our pasta dinner…read morethe night before the race. It was a little challenging to find, as the signage outside reads Uncorked on Main Street, with a PV's in very small letters at the top - and no mention of pasta & vino. Not sure if the restaurant was recently renamed? The location was very nice, right in the heart of Pocatello's Old Town. The restaurant's interior was basic but clean and welcoming. Food was what I would call average. I ordered the large Caprese salad, which came with small slices of tomatoes and mozzarella. Not very large, but well seasoned and fresh. I ordered the pasta with steamed clams. The sauce was creamy, which I didn't expect from the menu description that only mentioned white wine. It was also not very hot. However, it too was well-seasoned and the clams were excellent. Service was not the fastest but very friendly. I would definitely give PV's another try on a return trip.

Wine prices were more than reasonable, and the menu had a good choice of dishes. Hubby ordered Stuffed Chicken Parmigiana, which came with a side of spaghetti and a nice dinner salad. I had some problems with the chicken dish I ordered, which was missing the key ingredients that made me order it in the first place. I was going to keep it anyway, but the waitress, and then the manager, urged me to let them redo it. When it came back, it had the asparagus and prosciutto it was supposed to have, and was delicious, even though the spaghetti was still a bit overcooked, though not as much as the first time. The excellent service more than made up for the shortcomings experienced at the beginning. It's always appreciated when we're treated as valued guests. Because of this I've bumped up my rating from three to four stars. Every restaurant should be as caring as PV.
