    My HOMEMADE pasta carbonara...yum zoom in

    Hands down the WORST spaghetti & meatballs I've EVER had! As well the pasta carbonara was TERRIBLE w/ big fatty gross hunks of guanciale ( I believe because it wasn't bacon or pancetta. ) Our to go order was $50 including the tip for carry out.... For 2 meals that literally went into the garbage... The server was detached & just rang up the order & away we went. Shocked is not an overstatement for how we felt opening the bag of food at home. Let me state I grew up in a restaurant family, I know the struggles, financially & otherwise... & I don't give a 1 star lightly... but this " Italian " joint deserves it... I was so mad about how bad the food was I decided to make my OWN PASTA CARBONARA the next day! I bought fresh fettuccine ( bc Walmart didn't have fresh spaghetti or linguine ) & parmigiana Reggiani from Trader Joe's ... I should have taken a photo of this restaurant's carbonara but I was so upset having to throw it away & then decided to take a picture of the worst of the two ...the over cooked tasteless tough meatballs with ANGEL HAIR PASTA (?? ) I tried to warm it up on the stove... but gave up bc it was so disgusting... zoom in on picture.. I also included a photo of MY PASTA CARBONARA I made that my husband gave 5 stars for taste & mouth feel.... We will never return to this joint, buy your ingredients at your favorite grocery store ..& save $40 ...... Ingredients in My PASTA CARBONARA? 3 eggs + 1 yolk 1.5 cups of grated Parmigiana Reggiani Fresh pasta 3 cloves of garlic 10 slices of bacon Viola! Done to perfection & took about 12 minutes total...

    Sausage pizza!

    Excellent homemade food and good service from this new spot in cozy Bayview! The view is gorgeous! Lucky we got to experience opening night! Make a reservation on Open Table!

    Omg. We waited TWO HOURS and still no dinner. We had 2 rounds of drinks and 1 appetizer but we…read morestill sat. And sat. AND SAT and were trying to get to THE HIVE for a show. We figured 2 1/2 hours was safe enough to be able to have drinks dinner and get over two doors away or so and apparently it wasn't.... We ended up having pizza at the Hive. I have to say my biggest concern was these poor young and hard working servers and their responsibility ---having to face the unhappy tables when everything is so so slow and so poorly managed. We were told not to go and should have listened. She (owner) overextend herself at the diner's expense. If she wants to have that kind of a venue with that kind of menu ($$$$) she needs to close down and enlarge her kitchen and hire some staff and make it work, but otherwise, as it is now it's a ridiculous set up...

    This is a pretty cool spot to come and enjoy a relaxed evening. Pretty upscale and well thought out…read moredecor. Full bar and quite a good selection of wine options. The staff were helpful and professional. Relax, unwind, and enjoy yourself here. The menu selections are quite high end and sounded tasty. My food scene is a bit different than those selections so I asked if it was possible to try one of their smash burgers. A smash burger showed up and it did not disappoint. I can safely say one of the top 5 burgers I have enjoyed in the northwest. My wife was thrilled with her fish dinner and she even ordered something else and then asked if she could change her order. They absolutely had no problem with that and delivered. Next time I was to try their appetizers. One of the better spots in Sandpoint for sure.

    RUN, don't walk! I hosted an event here tonight with a group of people, and the whole process was…read moreseamless. The Brussel sprouts as an appetizer...make time for them. About half of the people got pizza and half got pasta. The pizza dough sold itself. And the cool pizza oven near the kitchen is awesome! Pasta dishes were very fresh tasting and definitely authentic Italian food. Trisha( owner/chef) is very talented! I was the host so didn't have enough time to eat while dining in, but I got spaghetti to go. See the photo...meatballs were bigger than my fist Just trust me and go get food here. Then make room for dessert. GOOEY BROWNIE COOKED IN THE PIZZA OVEN TOPPED WITH ICE CREAM!?! WHATTTTTTT

    3.5/5, I was so excited to eat here, but it didn't do it for us…read more Let me start by saying the service was excellent! I forget our servers name, but he was very kind and engaging. Ample seating with a few table options outdoors, themed interior that feels like you're getting the Italian experience. We only ordered one appetizer, one pizza, and one dessert since we had a late lunch. For our appetizer we had the jalapeño poppers which were tasty, but tiny. It made for about two bites of food each. We got the pepperoni and pineapple pizza... The crust was quite charcoally on the bottom and made for a bitter flavor while the rest of the dough didn't seem fully cooked. We've been trying to go to some pizza places around town that we haven't been to, so we've had some really amazing pizza -- comparatively this just didn't hit the spot. We ordered their dessert special, a banana tiramisu, which was probably the best thing we had. I hate to say it, but the food was really just a 3/5. And on the pricier side. I can see from previous reviews that people have had really great dining experiences here and you can tell it's an authentic, family centered restaurant, maybe we need to give it another try!
