Best food in town. Delicious offerings and great service. Always busy. Make reservations!

This place is a small town gem! It's cute inside and the waitresses were very nice. They had gluten free pasta for our kids, which they liked. My husband had Spaghetti and Meatballs and I had the Crispy Chicken Parmesan- both were about 3.5/5 Stars. We would definitely go back. read more

This was one of my favorite meals I've ever had! We made reservations for Valentine's Day (limited space- definitely make a reservation!) and the service was amazing. Women were greeted with a rose and staff was so kind and prompt! We enjoyed the short rip, tenderloin, Va Piano Cab Sauv, and lemon ricotta cheesecake! 5 stars to it all! Incredible meal, service, and atmosphere! read more

We had an early reservation. We were the second guests and were seated directly across from the bathroom door. Heaven forbid anyone have a stomach issue, but luckily we were spared. I would have hoped that having an early reservation would have secured us a better table, but alas... The service was good and prompt. We ordered the meatballs and calamari as our appetizers. The calamari was very tender and lightly coated with batter. The marinara dipping sauce was tasty. The calamari were just a tad over seasoned. Those who are salt sensitive should take note. The meatballs were tough. I had to use a knife to cut them. The meat in meatballs shouldn't be so overworked to the point that they are tough. They should be fork tender which these were definitely not. Hubby had the special which was venison stroganoff. Our server said it was the first time it had been offered. Hubby said it was quite tasty but very rich. Not surprising and certainly expected for stroganoff. I had veal Marsala. The veal was quite tender and the sauce complimented it well, but it was just on the verge of being over seasoned. I would have preferred my veal cooked just a bit under, although no fault of the chef. Overall it was a nice meal and probably one of the finer dining experiences in the area. read more

Such an amazing restaurant. It's one of the best Italian restaurants I've been to. Everything is made in-house. We started off with focaccia for the table, shared the pork belly which was served with a dollop of celery purée . Side salad with a huckleberry vinaigrette. The chicken parm was excellent. The chicken was cooked to perfection , moist but crispy upon a bed of fresh pasta. Servings were large enough to share . They also had a nice selection of wine. Service was excellent as well. read more

Based on the reviews and the friendly waitress recommendation I got the bison lasagna. Wife had the chicken parm fettuccine. Kids had butter noodles. Get the bread also. This is a destination restaurant. Really really good food. Enjoy. read more

Great food, as always. A little disappointed tonight as they clearly rushed us thru our $$$$ dinner. In and out in under an hour and a half for a four course meal. Ragazza, do better in how you treat your regulars who keep you open year round. read more

So glad to save my 105th review of the year to my new favorite Italian restaurant located in Donnelly, Idaho just a short 15-20 min drive from McCall. We made a reservation online and glad we did because seating here is limited and it was almost a full house when we were there last night. This is a very quaint little spot with great modern decor and a reminder taking me back to any other great restaurant in a major city. For dinner we started off with the crispy artichoke hearts with creamed spinach sauce. These were awesome! Perfectly breaded and the artichokes were so tender were a great start to the meal. I also had the classic cesar salad and loved their twist in this classic with the perfect amount of dressing and parmesan. My wife had the asparagus gnocchi with portabella mushrooms, sage, red peppers and goat cheese. My wife said it best with no words and just enjoyed this thoroughly. Even said this might've been one of the best gnocchi dishes she has ever had. I had the pasta carbonara and equally one of the better dishes I have had as well. The freshness of the dish was so evident throughout and the crispy pancetta was a true highlight. With absolutely no room for desert we left so full back into the blustery night for the drive back to McCall. This restaurant is and was such a highlight of this trip. What a true gem and cannot wait to come back and eat here again. The staff that works here is outstanding and you can tell they take the time to get to know there customers especially the locals. Despite not being local we felt part of this family. read more

Delicious plates. I had the salmon pasta and the bison lasagna and both are sensational. The bread is great as well. Go now.

It had been 3.5 yrs since we sold our cabin and had a chance to dine here but other than the expected inflation induced price jump, the food, service, and overall experience was very good and in line with previous visits. Having previously owned property in Valley county for 9 yrs I've come to understand you have to grade on a curve here as everything is harder to get, especially help, but we've always been happy with the knowledge and attention from staff here. Prices are inline with the valley, though I was a bit surprised the bread isn't complimentary anymore, though it's above average for sure and comes with special spreads that are good. Overall, the value is high here. Our server happened to recommend the exact two dishes we came in thinking about, the Chicken Parm and the Lasagna, and both were great and enough to take some home. Wish I had taken pics but I was too hungry to wait. Here's to not waiting 3 yrs to get back. read more

Fried artichokes - perfect with the cheese sauce. Chicken Parmesan - soooo good. Branzino stuffed with crab - yummy! The fresh focaccia bread - to die for. Service was on point. Lovely woman who helped us was attentive. Nice and quiet even though the place is small. One of my favorite meals on our 4 week road trip. read more

Ate here 3 of the 4 nights we were in the area. Everything was outstanding! We're seniors and have eaten out a lot over the years! All of us agreed that we have not seen this level of service anywhere. The food and desserts were so good we're planning a return trip just to eat here! read more

Went here for dinner while spending a weekend in Donnelly and it was absolutely delicious! The homemade focaccia bread is a must. Loved the samples of garlic butter, fig goat cheese, and bruschetta that came with it as well. My husband got the chicken Parmesan and I got the mushroom ravioli. He loved the chicken parm and the taste that I had was good too. The Alfredo sauce in it wasn't very creamy like I'm used to, but still pretty flavorful. I loved the mushroom ravioli! You DEFINITELY need to be a big fan of mushrooms and truffle as they are very prevalent in this dish. Overall delicious and reasonably priced for the quality. read more

We kept driving by all week so finally decided this would be our last meal in the mountains. Skip was our server and he was awesome. Food was amazing! We had a variety of everything, fresh bread is great dipped in oil, flatbread is a Chefs daily special so today's might not be the same as yesterday's - ours had meatballs, tomatoes and basil which was phenomenal! House Pinot was pretty good, it had a lot of cork in it so not sure what happened there but overall it was good for an $8 glass. Sticky toffee pudding thing was very sweet, my son enjoyed that a lot. Make a reservation bc this place fills up SO FAST. I could not get one online so called and they fit us in, when we arrived at 7:20 for a 7:30 res it was hard to find a parking spot, people waiting outside the door and in the tiny hallway for tables. Every table in and out was packed. Dress code: definitely more than anything else in the area (we were staying in cascade). Not your come from the farm or lake type of place but not exactly black tie either. Just dress nicely and you'll be alright! Bathrooms located inside. Cash and card accepted. Parking is available, but it does fill up if they are busy. read more

Spectacular food and wine in a fantastic, intimate setting. Buon compleanno, Ragazza! Tanti auguri a ti!!

Blown away by this place! Took two years of owning property in Donnelly to visit Regazza, and that was 2 years too long! Nice, laid back atmosphere, great service and amazing food. My wife had the lobster pasta and I had the Bison Lasagna... very, very good food! The focaccia style bread to start out was delicious, and the Lava Cake dessert we shared was scrumptious! Make sure to get reservations and try this place out, you won't be disappointed, especially for the reasonable price! read more

A favorite for us. We don't come to town without eating at Ragazza. Get the lasagna if you can, its incredible.

Ragazza Di Bufalo is fantastic. I thought I made a reservation last Tues. night and then wanted to change the time to earlier. They couldn't find my reservation (I made it for the next day by mistake) but were happy to accommodate our group of 4 at the earlier time that I requested. All 4 of us had different entrees and we were all very happy with our meals. Ragazza is a very small place so if you want to eat there be sure to make a reservation. If your party is large call them,well in advance, to make a reservation. They will do their best to accommodate you. read more

I came here with family while on vacation in the area. This place is quite small, but they did a great job with seating and decor in the space they had. We had a party of 8 and they were able to get us seated at a table to accommodate our party. We had a couple of orders of bruschetta to start us off and it was really good. I had the smoked salmon pasta and my wife had the buffalo lasagna. My dish was very good, but I wish it had a bit more salmon in it. My wife's lasagna was completely burnt on the bottom layer and she couldn't even cut through it with a fork. My brother in law had the filet and he ordered it medium rare. His filet was well done and has NO pink in the center whatsoever. I thought our meals were good for the most part, but definitely not worth the hefty price tag they charge. read more

The food was excellent, and being in a town of only a few restaurants, this is most definitely a 5. The selfish manicotti brings it down to a 4 because we had an allergic reaction after dinner due to it not being just shellfish. The pesto flatbread was great, as were the bison tortellini and the Caesar salad for starters. We had a large party, so many of the entrees were ordered. I thought the short ribs were the best, and next was the yak and bison lasagne. I had the seafood manicotti which was good, but something about it just wasn't amazing. The filling had something that wasn't listed as someone who is allergic to fish (not shellfish as listed) had an allergic reaction after dinner and it was a bit of a letdown the rest of the night. Other than that, everyone was satisfied and our server was the best. read more

This place is really cute and quaint. Had to have only been about 15 tables or so. Not a huge place. We sat down and our waitress was Kelly. Super friendly and pretty nice all around. We got the focaccia bread with the three toppings. A blue cheese butter, a garlic and herb butter, and a Kalamata topping. Bread was crusty and warm. All of the toppings were really good. Blue cheese is definitely an acquired taste. We split the chicken parm. Just want to say, this wasn't "chicken parmigiana". This was literally fried chicken with Alfredo. We got it with the fettuccine Alfredo sauce. The sauce was ok, but it needed something. Pepper, salt, garlic. Not sure what. The chicken was pretty crunchy, but it didn't give me the Home breaded and pounded chicken taste. Maybe it would have been better if they had put some marinara on top and some melted mozzarella cheese. They did split it into two plates for us. Thank you so much. We also got the crème brûlée. Pretty good. The lemon cookies were awesome also. The raspberries on top... how the heck did they get such fresh berries!!?? read more

Service was great. They seated us even with a half hour left before closing. Service were super friendly with great recommendations for local wine. Started with caprese salad and caesar salad. They had pickled anchovy in the Caesar..very good. Lots of tomatoes of different varieties in the caprese. The corn and shrimp appetizer had a long name. Very tasty. We ordered the Yak and Bison lasagna, the shellfish cannelloni, and the lobster linguine. All were delicious but I would have preferred more garlic. The coconut cake dessert was the best. We tried the tiramisu--steong coffee flavor, cannoli--very good but had a bitter aftertaste, and lemon curd cheesecake..it was meh. Visiting from out of town. Worth stopped here again. read more

We had an amazing meal a year ago and couldn't wait to go back to this lovely place. Still remembering the lasagna. This year: excellent service, still love the coziness of this place and a nice wine list. The food was different--many things fried in the same breading, topped with the same tomato sauce, and topped with the same grated mozzarella. My shortribs were a little rubbery, rather than the fall apart dish expected. read more

This was such a wonderful surprise for dinner on our way up to McCall as we stayed the night here. We arrived. during family hour and had a nice discount. Bison ravioli and hubby had Salmon.

Excellent. This place will compete with Italian restaurants in much larger cities. Great staff!!

First time dining here ! Our new home town! Our server Kayla was top notch!! We were here to celebrate our 41st anniversary and it didn't disappoint. The Tenderloin Florentine was superb as well as my husband's Branzino filled with crab! Clam chowder was the best we've ever had!!! Our new favorite restaurant!!! read more

Super awesome food and service. We sat outside on a perfect day. The service was good. Bread and oil to start. Tasted good, but only 4 small slices. Not bad. We had the bison lasagna, chicken parm and the short rib. Great flavor on all dishes. Hot and fresh food. Got a chance to meet the owner as he went from table to table. A nice touch. Definitely will come back when in the area. Thank you for the nice meal. A place for a good memory. read more

The service is fantastic. Can't say enough about Skip and his family. The food never fails. I had the salmon w/orzo and capers. It was cooked perfectly. The gazpacho which I have never had before was wonderful. It's like a Italian salsa. And then dessert. I had tiramisu - oh, so light and flavorful. The whole dinner was fabulous. I wish they had a restaurant closer to Middleton, but we would need the chef to come also. We go every time we go that direction. read more

Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Everything here is immaculate! From the soups/salads/apps to the seasonal desserts - everything is good. High price is worth the meal! We ordered the Burrata Salad and Crab Balls to start. Entrees were Bison Lasagna (a favorite), Lobster Linguine, and Shellfish Manicotti. You literally can't go wrong with any of those dishes. read more

We recently had dinner at Ragazza Di Bufalo when staying nearby in McCall. I am always suspicious when a place has the full 5 stars, but this one lived up to the type and then some! This is excellent Italian food. Menu includes all of the favorites (lasagna, spaghetti, different meats, seafood, etc.) and also has some other great creations. For example, I had lobster tortellini, which was... very very good. The chef came out to ask how our food was which was a great touch. Needless to say, we informed him that it was all incredible. There are several menu specials between 5-6 PM that are all just $10, we tried one and it was fantastic. Portion sizes are not huge, so if you are very hungry I would recommend buying 2 of the $10 items. Bread is fresh and hot. Service was very good. Waiter was helpful and came by the perfect amount of times. Knowledgeable about the food as well, he made some excellent suggestions for us. Anyone staying in Donnelly, McCall, or surrounding area should visit Ragazza Di Bufalo. You will not be disappointed! read more

Food: was excellent freshly prepared and served hot to the table. Service: Wait staff was kind we dined outside as we were traveling our dog. they served our dog water before attending to us which was needed and appreciated. Ambiance: seemed quaint inside however we dined outside due to travel with our dog that was OK by the staff and facility. property set close to hyw, but it was not an issue as speed in town was 25mph and therefore had no negative impact at our table. Recomend: Highly recommend Ragazza DiBufflao. read more

I don't give out 5 star lightly. Everything involved (ie. the food, service, atmosphere) has to come together in a nice package. This one does and with a bow on top! This is one of THE BEST Italian restaurants I've been too. Chef Topple deserves praise for taking a chance opening this place in the middle of Idaho. My friends and I actually ate here two nights in a row. As far as the appetizers go... the fritto misto was perfectly fried with light batter, the lobster raviolis had a nice and subtle citrus flavor, the Caesar salad's dressing was creamy yet light, and the crispy artichokes were to die-for. For the main course over the two nights we had lasagna, halibut and clam linguine, spaghetti carbonara, elk bolognese, and the Italian sausage pasta. All the dishes were outstanding! The pastas were made in-house or at least appeared that way. None of the dishes were overpowering. Everything was just right. Dessert is a must to top off the amazing meals here. We had the huckleberry cannoli, Classic tiramisu, sorbet, and the chocolate orange pot de crème. The one that stood out the most was the tiramisu. Usually the ladyfingers are soaked and soggy in most I've came across. Here, the ladyfingers still have a firm sponginess to them which was a nice texture along with the cream. The service was also amazing and consistent. I am going to misspell the hostess' name, Viane(?). She was as pleasant as anyone can be. Jake and Nicole were attentive and friendly. Chef Topple even came out to check on each table. The atmosphere is comfortable and cozy. The placement of one of the bathrooms is a bit odd since it's next to a table, but I'm not deducting any points for this as this was an existing restaurant prior to Ragazza di Bufalo. The only negative is that this place is so far from me! If Chef Topple decides to open a second location, I hope he considers Reno, NV. This place would be THE BEST Italian restaurant if it were in The Biggest Little City in the World! read more

I read about this place on Yelp and I'm so glad you Yelpers Wrote about it! Great Italian restaurant in small town Idaho. Top notch food. They have a family menu from 5-6, so you can get some good entrees for $10. We had the salmon piccata and the meatball pasta. Everyone here works really hard, is helpful and enthusiastic, they are a great team. Because they aren't getting enough business, they are going to stop serving lunch. So please go here and give them a review! read more
