Based on at least ten visits, (three last year before we moved here)…read more Great shop for; all types of pasta, sauces, custom ravioli, seasonings, olive oil, marinades, garden decorative items (seasonal too), soup packs (for crockpot especially), mustards and so much much more! We would bring back to one family the gluten free pastas. We are not gluten free..regular pasta for us. Now that we live here, this is our regular shop to enhance our home cooking recipes. Very good customer service. I highly recommend the soup packages, take a look at the salt percentage but the majority are on the low to moderate. We've been purchasing the same soup packages up north. If a veteran, let the cashier know. Oh.....the Star local monthly newspaper had a great article on The Milled Olive. Regarding prices vs quality....if this is your first visit, buy one pasta package and one marinade. You'll appreciate and notice the difference in taste. The price is worth the value. Bring some pasta home and treat your family!! Five plus stars!! Shop local also.

My girlfriend and I took Indulge Boise's Boise River Urban Wine Trail Tour, and it was about the…read morebest introduction to Boise we could have asked for. Angela, the head of Indulge Boise, led our tour herself! Her love for the area came through in every story and every stop on our journey. The Greenbelt and Garden City districts were calmly beautiful from the get-go, but she brought them alive with history, personality, and local pride. Henry, who was training to lead the same tour, was also a perfect presence--warm, curious, and already bringing his own perspective and enthusiasm to the experience. We absolutely lucked out with two pros, brimming with hometown pride. We started with amazing tacos at The Sandbar at the Riverside Hotel, then continued through a relaxed, beautifully paced mix of wine, food, river views, and local storytelling. Nothing felt rushed, and everything felt thoughtfully curated. (Every wine stop--Telaya, Proletariat, Dude Dewalt--was excellent and exactly what we needed at that point in the tour. As were the surprise lemonade and RIVER DOGS from PJ's!!) This is exactly the kind of tour I'd recommend to visitors, locals, or anyone thinking about making Boise part of their life. A 100% memorable afternoon--one that set us up for further exploration with a probable move here!

The food sampling was varied and oh so yummy. We had to indulge in the Basque cheesecake and bought pieces to take back to enjoy later at the hotel. There are two more delicious stops. You will not go hungry! You can also opt to add alcohol to your food tour but there is water and mocktails if you didn't. It was one of the best things we did on our trip. Book it and you won't regret it.

This place is a little gem…read more My wife and I came with three other couples to celebrate a couple of birthdays. They do take reservations and I strongly recommend making them, especially for a large party, of which we saw several last night, a Saturday. Located on Orchard St near the intersection with Franklin, the building itself it just average to look at. They do have a cool mural on the south side wall depicting various gangsters: Dillinger, Lanskey, Nelson, Capone, and Seigel. As you enter, on the left there is a small bar with seating near the check in desk. There is also a separate waiting room to the right of the entrance. There are a lot of tables packed fairly close together in the dining room. Our server was Arturo. He was friendly, attentive, and very knowledgable about the food, giving recommendations as to his favorite dishes and explaining in detail how the special of the night was prepared. Really, he was exceptional, especially taking care of a large group. To start, there is what I think was a rosemary bread, along with balsamic vinegar and oil to dip, which was very good. The mushrooms and the fried calimari appetizers weree great. And, all of the entrees were deemed "10/10" when we did our informal polling at the end of our visit. My wife had the scampi and I had the margherita pizza. Other entrees included lasagna, angel hair pasta with meatballs, chicken scallopini, and the "Gabriel". All of the food was delicious. Our group definitely plans to come back and enjoy another dining experience at Luciano's, in our opinion, the best Italian restaurnt in The Valley.

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.

Wow. Wonderful experience, excellent food and somehow even better service. Parent date nights…read morewithout kids are few and far between, which puts even more pressure on the restaurant of choice to get it right. Vincenzo Trattoria nailed it, and I am so grateful. We got the spaghetti vincenzo, penne zozzana, and a margherita pizza for dinner. Everything was excellent, truly. The penne zozzana was the favorite, along with the complimentary bread (the bread looks unassuming but is spectacular). I'm typically not a dessert person, but trust me when I say you should not skip the olive oil lemon cake. I will probably dream about it until the next time we visit. Also, I would like to point out that while the restaurant is in a strip mall type location, the interior is cozy and romantic. Ten out of ten highly recommend.

Should have added the home made focaccia with olio santo for $2 to the meat and cheese platter, used end pieces of pizza crust to spread the final soft Boursin cheese. There are several artisan pizza choices. The pesto sausage had lots of mozzarella, making it go down easy and milder in spice than I expected. Just right. In retrospect, it was a little too much food, we should have had the short list of Lunch Menu specials including four sandwiches for. The Grilled Chicken Caprese, the Meatball, the Chicken Parmesan and the Salumi Sandwiches all come with a choice of sides. Another possibility is the choice of salads with a cup of soup for $10 and you can add a protein including chicken grilled steak, grilled shrimp, meatballs, Italian sausage, or scallops for about $4 each depending on the selection. On the outside, it looks like a smaller restaurant than it is, they have really done a marvelous job of creating an inviting space with an open kitchen and bar on opposite side with dining in between, larger parties in another room, lots of inviting windows and outside dining in nice weather. Tall ceilings and some hard surfaces could overwhelm conversation on a busy night, so bear that in mind. Big wooden table surfaces, cloth napkins and hefty silverware. Water refills came from a bottle on the table which our server made a point of pouring as needed. Service was excellent, for example a refill of iced tea was replaced with a new glass (hate it when a server takes your drink away to refill out of site and possibly get mixed up.) On a weekday we arrived at 11:30 and got right in, however by 12:15 the inside tables were mostly full. Reservations available on-line. I had avoided going there earlier as it always seemed very busy and the parking lot was shared with other businesses. Won't stay away much longer, the dishes coming out of the kitchen looked very appetizing.

I was served a pale, bland piece of chicken that looked like the flash frozen kind you can get at Trader Joe's. The skin was not crispy at all. The chicken blended into the white plate. The sauce was not at all baked-in/carmelized. The veggies lacked flavor and had no yummy crispiness. So disappointing. I make chicken at home and rarely order it bc I can make it at home. BUT I'd get it at caci bc it was so darn good. No longer. Did I eat it? Yes, bc I was starving and wanted to fill up on protein and veg in an effort to avoid eating handfuls of unhealthy popcorn during a Three hour movie later today. Did I express my dissatisfaction when I was there? I sure did and received a "well, sorry."along w an explanation that they recently switched to a boneless hen as it saves time in the wood oven. (Nice server...manager stayed away!). Bad move. They need to return to the prior preparation. Very disappointing. I won't be back until they bring back the chicken. $40 tab with one lack luster dish and water....not worth it
