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: The original owner had such bright lighting inside that it felt as if 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 previous 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 new menu remains pasta centric; 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 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. One could order a meal as simple as a pizza and salad or do what we did when celebrating our anniversary recently, and share the beet salad with orange and 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 a layout improvement made by the current owners. 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.

Let me just say I have never had a better pizza crust anywhere! It was crispy yet not too crispy and had a delicious sourdough flavor. The pizza was even better the second day! The salad was generously portioned and filled with fresh ingredients! Everyone was friendly and welcoming and we topped it off with a pistachio pastry...it was delicious! This is an excellent addition to the Boise area! They also have a variety of breads they make as well as a bread club that is very reasonable.

Bricks and mortar charming, welcoming, delightful bakery (think along the lines of a neighborhood…read moreboulangerie) Glutonia is a metamorphosis from a home delivery weekly bread subscription service by owners Krissa Wrigley and Wyatt Werner.  The bakery opened sometime in later 2025 and although my husband and I are local-food-focused-folks (I detest the word foodie), it wasn't until we received two "you HAVE to go" recommendations a month or so ago from people whose opinion we trust that we made the long'ish drive from our front door to theirs and braved the bear that is street parking in this West Boise neighborhood for our first purchases, We have been back several times. EXCELLENCE: We are hooked!  The pastries, sweet and savory, are delicious and their high hydration sourdough breads are fantabulous (think in the style of Tartine).   We are particularly fans of their miche loaf called Sasquatch and they will sell this tasty behemoth in full, half or quarter loaf as you choose and they'll hand slice the quarter loaf (the size we choose) if you ask them to.  The baguette are "parfaite" for grab and go style sandwiches to make at home (think jambon beurre). One day when we popped in we managed to get the last of their sandwich creations that day with brie and prosciutto on the baguette. Our pastry favs iare lemony Amalfi and also cardamon delight Andromeda, both in snail form but every pastry has been so worth the calories! I think we've tried them all.   GASTONIA'S DIFFERENCE: There are several sourdough'ish bakeries in the area. Sometimes it is best to let owners speak for themselves for what makes theirs unique.  Here is what Glutonia's owners have to say:  "Our breads are "sourdough," but we don't love that term. We like to think of them as "naturally fermented." The distinction is that we don't make a very sour sourdough. It's kinda tangy, sure, but we want the grain to be the star of the show. And we don't want folks to have to test the structural integrity of their dental work just to get a bite of bread. Sour often equates to chewy, and we're aiming for more edible, neutral tasting bread that you can eat however you choose. It's a pretty tough needle to thread, and we're mighty proud of our results." "WELCOME IN": The people who work here are so welcoming and gracious.  I wish it was in my neighborhood! EXTRAS:  *They have a small coffee set up and the coffee is good. *They sell Boise located Peanut Shop peanut butter and also local (Emmett) grower Waterwheel's fruit jams.  *A few times a year they offer a 4-tray of take and bake cinnamon rolls, We gave those a try with outstanding outcome on Mother's Day. PIZZA EVENINGS: On Thursday, Friday and Saturday between 4:00 and 7:00 you can pick up a pizza if you pre-order it. They offer pepperoni and Margherita and, I think, sometimes a special of the week. You have to go in to place the order (and tell them when you want to pick it up) because they have no phone or online order mechanism. There have been people ordering on mornings I was in for pick up later. I have it on good authority from someone who lives within walking distance and is a frequent eater of their pizza that it is great. PARKING:  Aforementioned bear of a thing on street here.  There is a parking lot in the back of the shops in this new mixed use (retail down, apartments up) building but it often seems full on weekends and some times mid week as it is also parking for the apartment complex.  SEATING:  No space inside for seating but there is a nice patio outside with three 4-top tables that have attached seats and umbrellas for protection from sun or rain. ACCESSIBILITY:  Plenty of clear floor space inside for a wheelchair user to place an order. They do not provide a wheelchair accessible seating space at any of the tables. (They should given ADA requires that IF you are providing seating for customers THEN some of that seating must be accessible to wheelchair users so that they have equal access.)  No ADA parking on street (ACHD's eror because it is required by 1990 ADA law.)  There are two accessible parking spots, one van accessible, in the lot behind the building. Route to the bakery from there is easy alongside the building.  I have a proverbial dog in this hunt since I have had multiple sclerosis since college days.
