    Short rib bolognese
    Mark R.

    Very friendly hostess greeted me when I walked in. Was hoping to get a seat at the bar but showing up 15 minutes after happy hour on the night of the championship college football game meant the bar was full so ended up at a table. Started with a O.O.F craft cocktail (mezcal old fashioned) and it was well made and tasty. Ordered the short rib bolognese with the mista salad. Enjoyed both. Sienna was a great server and the overall vibe here was nice. I'd definitely go back.

    Grabbed dinner here twice over a 2 week period. The food was delicious and has such a good selection! I got pasta the first time and pizza the second. Both were delicious and I appreciated the drinks menu too.

    I'm guessing they premade the crust and freeze them before using. Not as airy or crispy as a real fire oven pizza.

    Pizza is like reheated Pizza Hut. Everything is very bland. My kids didn't even want to each their cheese pizza.

    We just came for a quick bite. We tried the brisket appetizer and it was SO delicious. Definitely coming back to try more items. Service was outstanding and the vibe is elegant bar/restaurant. Super cute inside.

    Caci is a beautiful building that is very clean and has an open feel to it. They have indoor, outdoor and bar seating. The parking lot looks busy when you come in but we were easily able to find a spot. I got the ube mile mocktail, a margarita pizza and tiramisu. I have 0 complaints about the food, it was phenomenal. The drink wasn't too sweet and also wasn't too ginger beer-y, made perfectly. The pizza was also cooked perfectly with a crispy crust and the perfect amount of toppings and sauce. The tiramisu had an ice cream like consistency that was excellent. I thought that the service was a little poor as there was a lack of attentiveness. I will definitely be back to try more of the menu, and for dessert. Thanks for the great food!

    I had the best experience today at Caci's. What a beautiful venue. It's very vibrant and bright inside. They have a huge garage door opening so it was cool and fresh from the breeze. It is a smaller venue but with the side of the restaurant being open, it created a feeling of openness which was nice! I was greeted and sat right away. Our server was fantastic. My lunch date was running late but she did a great job checking up on me and making sure I was good. After my sister arrived, drinks and food was ordered. Today we ordered the calamari, arancini and the shrimp and halibut bucatini pasta. For drinks I grabbed a Shirley temple. I did finally notice that they had mocktails at the back of their cocktail menu so I'll have to grab one next time. My sister grabbed the strawberry smash cocktail. I had a sip of the cocktail and it was delicious. You can taste the strawberry and the alcohol. The alcohol wasn't overwhelming, it was balanced. We had everything come out at the same time and boy it all looked amazing! Everything was beautifully plated. The calamari was fried perfectly! The exterior had a great crunch, perfectly seasoned and the inside was tender. It came with two dipping sauce and both were delightful. You got 3 huge balls of the Arancini which was fried risotto with mozzarella in the middle. They were embedded in their Nonna sauce. Talk about chef's kiss! They were so good! You can eat those bad boys as a meal, they are massive and a must have! The shrimp that came with the bucatini were nice and plump. The halibut was delicious as well. The pasta was cooked just right and the sauce that was paired with it had just the right amount of heat to get your mouth to tingle. Every bite was absolutely delicious. The venue is quite casual but it's perfect for a date night, lunch meeting or a simple drink at the patio bar. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying other items on their menu. Caci's is a must go to! You'll have yourself a wonderful time.

    Lobster and crab ravioli

    Lobster and crab ravioli was to die for. Perfect amount of spice and seafood taste. Chicken Parmesan Sandwich needed a bit more sauce or flavor. The chicken was cooked fantastically it was moist and tender. Adorable spot and very tasteful.

    My first time here and I thought it was delicious. The bartender, Jordan made me a delicious citrus mocktail. Julia flawlessly walked me thru the menu and the manager stopped by to introduce himself. Great experience, wonderful staff. I'll be back. Can't wait to try the pizza

Today, our friend brought us to Garden City to walk along the river, and then over to Uncle Guiseppe's for lunch.

They also well things like pastries and, of interest to us, jarred roasted tomatoes. My wife had the #9 Monte Cristo, and I had the #3 Bonanza. Delicious. I also had a Manhattan Special Black Cherry soda, also super yummy. My mistake, not realizing what I was doing, was to order "whole" vs "half" sandwiches. The whole are footlong. I ate the entire sandwich, holy moly! My wife brought half home. Next time I would probably order a half. The owner, who I will call Guiseppe, had the heavy East Coast accent, and checked on all of his customers, making sure they were happy and satisfied. This place is a little gem.

Yet I wanted to experience their take on Detroit pizza one last time before they lock the doors for good. Yesterday, I called to order a Detroiter pizza, my go-to pie since they opened, for takeout. The woman who answered the phone asked to put me on hold for a "short wait." Ten minutes later I was still on hold and hung up. Today, I decided to try again. I called at around the same time, 4:30 p.m., which normally has not been a busy time there before the dinner rush starts. This time, I was told to call back. What? So I went online and ordered there for pickup. I got an email back immediately, saying my order had been submitted but that it wasn't confirmed until I got a second email with my pickup time. More than an hour later, I'm still waiting for that second email. What a horrible operation they've become. Their pizza was excellent in the beginning and I didn't mind driving across town to a convenient location near the airport to pick up one of their pizzas. But as their quality slipped, I found myself going there less and less. Today's failure will be the last time I try before they close forever. All I have is the memories from better days.

From the moment we walked in, you could tell this was a true family-run restaurant. The atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, and our waitress was fantastic--friendly, attentive, and happy to share recommendations for places to check out around Boise. The food was so good that we completely forgot to take pictures before digging in, which honestly says everything. We started with the Caesar salad, which was solid, but the stars of the meal were the entrées. My husband ordered the shrimp Alfredo, and I had the Rosemary Chicken Formaggio. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, flavorful, and homemade. Somehow, it was even better the next day as leftovers. My husband's favorite part of the meal was actually the rosemary focaccia loaf they bring out with oil and vinegar. Simple, but absolutely delicious. If you're visiting Boise and looking for great Italian food, Luciano's is absolutely worth the stop. We'd happily come back the next time we're in town.

    New owners, chef Natasha (Tasha) Getchell and Colton Messa, have made delightful improvements since…read morebuying this restaurant from the original owner in roughly December 2024. While the name remains the same, everything else seems an "ahhh..." some improvement from making the interior more welcoming, the service more gracious and the food more delicious. With the changes initiated in early 2025, it is still early days in their ownership and I'm sure there will be more to come as the eatery evolves. SPACE & SEATING: I swear the original owner had such bright lighting inside that one could land a plane there but now it is soft lighting that along with greeting offered by Colton makes guests feel very welcome stepping in the door. Italian themed music at just the right level to know it is there but not to compete with conversation. Table seating that was "sardine can tight" under the original owner, so tight that it made it a squeeze for servers trying to get to the tables and even blocked the path to the loo, has been rearranged to offer space to get around. MENU & $: The menu remains pasta centric but the new menu retains many of the former favorites and has been expanded to add new dishes. Pasta price points are roughly $23 and up for expertly prepared dishes of perfectly al dente pasta in generous portions and served hot to the table. There are also antipasti (cold and hot) that start at about $13 (example; for salads) to $23 (example for fried calamari and shrimp). Arancini are on the antipasti menu here and they are hard to find in this area. The new chef has also added "of the day" specials for fish and risotto. Because the pizza oven has put back in order, they are also offering a handful of pizza options. So one could order a meal as simple as a pizza and salad or do what we did when celebrating our anniversary here recently, and share the beet salad with orange an goat cheese ($17) to start then order both the Risotto del Giorno (on this evening it was sausage, broccoli rabe, corn $32) and Pescato (fish) del Giorno (on this evening it was full of lobster meat and tail-on shrimp over pasta in a perfect light white sauce $39) Of the day, del Giorno, options are AQ so the server will provide the price when describing the dish. Both of our dishes were delicious with in generous portions; some of the risotto came home with us to be enjoyed the next day. (See my photos.) My husband is Italian on both sides and grew up in an Italian neighborhood in Brooklyn and he thought the dishes perfect. IF I WERE QUEEN: I would bid wave my scepter and have them I would reduce the number of pasta dishes (some carried over from the old menu) and add in a few other non-pasta Italian options. (A la A Cena or Nostrana in Portland. This chef has the skill to do it.) SERVICE: The chef's daughter has been the main server but an accident a couple of months ago means she is needing time to recover and the friendly young woman serving on the night of our visit, with back up from Colton, did a lovely job. We felt well tended but not hovered over and she seemed to be offering the same gracious care to the tables all around us. It seemed she may have been a little new to the menu ingredients but that will come with time and this was big tip worthy customer care. LIBATIONS: A thoughtfully crafted wine list, beer and soft beverages across price points and our two by glass wine options totaled only $21. RESERVATIONS & AN "ALL ARE WELOME HERE" GREETING FOR WALK INS: Reservations via Open Table or by calling the restaurant and it is best to make one, although on busy Thursday when we dined in, there were a couple of walk ins, both a single and a family of four, who were able to be seated. And it is worth noting that the single young man diner and the family of four with teens in tow were treated with the same welcome and attention as the reserved dining guests. That doesn't always happen in restaurants and it didn't happen here under the original owner with the wife working front of house. ACCESSIBILITY: The inside set up has some tables that would be accessible to diners using wheelchairs and that is an improvement made by the current owners because under the previous owner that was not the case. The ongoing problem is the parking lot here has always been non-compliant for ADA with not a single spot of accessible parking near the restaurant. The lot owner finally marked a space with the ADA logo but the infuriating (that is the right response) thing is that they did not add a curb ramp so unless a wheelchair user can step up over a roughly 6" curb this is worthless. It also violates 36 year old Federal law and Idaho State building code.

That is the description of what I ordered for their handmade fresh pasta rigatoni that I got. Let me just say that all these flavors that they put into one dish were absolutely amazing. I really did not think they needed to have the spinach and mushrooms. Because the lemon crema and the Gorgonzola cheese were absolute phenomenal the braze beef was just to die for. This is a very small restaurant and there's only so many tables to get. I was able to sit at the bar which Aisha was the bartender. He did an amazing job and really helped lead me to my order of ordering the rigatoni. I had a beer with dinner and I did not order dessert. If you need to go to the bathroom, there is a door that leads outside the restaurant to the bathroom the weight was a little bit long for it, and luckily a neighboring coworker was able to lead me to their bathroom.

    First time in Boise, Idaho, visiting for the Boise Half Marathon. I ended up dining at Alavita…read moretwice -- once to carbo-load the night before my race, and again the day after as a recovery dinner. Alavita is an upscale Italian restaurant, and I'd recommend making reservations, especially for dinner. My first visit was with a reservation for one, while my second was a walk-in where I managed to snag patio seating. On my first visit, I started with the House-Baked Focaccia, which came with truffle-honey butter. The focaccia was light, fresh, and served pre-sliced. The honey and butter combination was absolutely divine and paired wonderfully with the bread. It honestly made me wonder why more Italian restaurants don't serve something similar. For my entrée, I ordered the daily special, which I believe was a cheese tortellini with shrimp and corn in a lemon garlic sauce. It was flavorful, deceptively filling, and paired well with the focaccia. While it wasn't the best pasta I've ever had, it was a satisfying and enjoyable pre-race meal. On my second visit, I started with the fennel and arugula salad, which featured fennel-apple slaw, pistachios, rehydrated cherries, lemon, olive oil, and shaved Parmesan. I particularly enjoyed the cherries and pistachios, which added nice sweetness and crunch. Not mind-blowing, but certainly good. For my entrée, I had to try the Rigatoni: braised local beef, black garlic-truffle butter, roasted local mushrooms, spinach, pickled red onion, lemon crema, and Grana Padano. I ordered it because so many reviews mentioned it. I don't eat beef very often, so this was a bit of a treat for me. The braised beef was tender and flavorful. Interestingly, my opinion of the dish changed as I ate it. Initially, I had it around a 3.5/5, but by the end it had climbed to a 4.5/5. This might sound strange, but I found that when I slowed down, closed my eyes for a bite or two, and really focused on the flavors, the dish came together much better. The richness of the braised beef, the garlic-truffle butter, and the mushrooms became much more noticeable, and I found myself appreciating the combination more and more with each bite. For me, it was one of those dishes that rewards slowing down and savoring it. Overall, I highly recommend Alavita for Italian food in Boise. The service was friendly, the food was thoughtfully prepared, and both meals left me satisfied. The lemon garlic shrimp tortellini special made for excellent pre-race fuel, and the rigatoni was a memorable post-race meal. I went on to finish 10th overall in the Boise Half Marathon despite rainy conditions and the challenges of running at a higher elevation than I'm used to, so I was certainly grateful for the quality food beforehand. Hope to be back the next time I'm in the Boise area. Visited June 2026.
