WILL BE CLOSING FOR GOOD ON JUNE 27, 2025. See owner's gracious farewell notice inserted below. If you want to bid farewell to Stuffed Olive you have another 3 weeks to do it. The good news in the sad news is that this will be turned over to a father / daughter team who will open a new concept here. The maybe not so good news is that in a community awash in chain restaurants on this side of Boise, I think the concept mentioned, Potholder Cafe, is a small California based chain. "To our dear Stuffed Olive Family: a heartfelt thank you to our incredible community. After 20 wonderful years, The Stuffed Olive is closing its doors on Friday, June 27th. This is a bittersweet moment for us. Running a restaurant like The Stuffed Olive has been our life's passion and our greatest joy; but it also has demanded everything we have and more. After pouring our hearts and souls into this beloved establishment for so many years, it's time for us to take a step back, to breathe, and to discover what's next. Most importantly, it's time for us to be truly present for ourselves and for our family. The Restaurant space is being handed over to a wonderful Father/Daughter team who are excited to start a new chapter in our space. They intend to bring their concept: The Potholder Cafe, a breakfast and lunch eatery into the Eagle dining scene. Alongside their new recipes will be some old favorites from the TSO menu. We're grateful that the legacy of TSO being a locally-owned, family-run space will continue with this new duo. Your unyielding support has meant the world to us, and we are so grateful for every laugh, every meal, and every memory shared within these walls. Thank you for making The Stuffed Olive more than just a restaurant. We will carry these moments with us forever. Cheers one last time, The Stuffed Olive Team read more

Came here with our daughter on a Thursday night. We were greeted by a female server who asked if we had a reservation. We replied no, not realizing that we needed one, but noticing that the place is rather small. Fortunately, there was a table for four at the entrance. Our server was good, though a little loud. Our daughter ordered the pasta primavera, my wife the walnut crusted salmon, and myself the cheesy penne with meat sauce. All entries were good. They also offered complimentary bread that was also good. My daughter and I had IPA beers. Unfortunately, they don't have beer on tap. Prices are reasonable. I'm sure we'll be back. We will be sure to make a reservation. read more

Leave room for dessert, before you order. Happy Hour Monday through Friday 2-5 pm $1 off all beer, $2 off all wine & 25% off all appetizers. Peroni is $2.50 per bottle. Crostini changes with the season, but is always really good. The garlic parmesan fries are really not crack cocaine, but are as addictive. They have a membership program that gives you great value for your repeated patronage. With the better weather, the outdoor seating is a good option. Always great service;. The kitchen staff is fabulous. If you haven't tried it, you are really missing one of the best places to eat anywhere in Southern Idaho. Design your own meal - I think angel hair pasta with shrimp, sundried tomatoes, tossed with garlic & olive oil and topped with goat cheese is just about the most perfect thing to eat. Have it with a Cass Viognier and you will thank me. read more

Great little Italian restaurant with a few surprises! Food: 4.5/5. For an appetizer, we had the special which was friend Mac and cheese balls. I felt they were a little bland and could have used more of the sauce that was underneath. I got the baked tuscan penne, which was pretty good. I wish there were a few more tomatoes and artichoke hearts, but overall it satisfied by pasta craving. My husband had the Wagyu beef olive burger. The burger was amazing! The fries were some of the best fries I've ever had. I am still thinking about those fries. The complementary bread is delicious as well! Service: 5/5. The service was great. We got seated quickly and were constantly taken care of. Our food came out in a reasonable amount of time as well. The waitress was friendly as well. Atmosphere: 4/5. The restaurant is fairly small so we ended up sitting outside. The outside patio is an interesting place to dine and can be a bit noisy being right on State Street. Kid Friendly: 4/5. Being such a small restaurant, I would not necessarily recommend this restaurant for kids. We did see some kids inside that had highchairs. There is a kids menu of pasta, pizza, and chicken nuggets. Overall, it's a cute, intimate restaurant with good food. Can't wait to try it another time! read more

Chicken parm. Is not that much flavor The meatball sub is good could use a little more cheese. But the service is very good, the people are very sweet. the place is very intimate. read more

I found this place while on my way to another lunch spot. Had never heard of it, but apparently it's been here for 20 years tucked away in this little shopping center area. The current chef has had it operational for five years. Tons of great parking, even up to the front door. It's tiny when you initially walk in with about eight tables, but they recently expanded next-door so it should open up. The ambience is relaxing with background music from Sinatra and other swooners. You really wanna settle in for some good long conversation here. Everything was immaculate. You could tell that they really take care to ensure cleanliness is first and foremost. The menu is easy to read and very reasonably priced. I asked for the daily special and the server, who had a great attitude and warm personality, shared they had a turkey and bacon club with basil pesto, tomato and other goodies on an in-house made focaccia. All of it is lightly toasted and warm when it arrives. I ordered it with a side of fries, but it also comes with a salad or soup. This amazing sandwich did not disappoint in any way. The ratio of meat to accompaniments to spread and bread were perfect. The bread was not too thick. The basil pesto was not excessive. The meat was perfectly toasted. The size of the sandwich is enough to fill any appetite from small to large. It was in fact the best sandwich I've had in years. Recall from my bio that I was a chef and I had a deli where I made sandwiches that were award-winning. I have to admit, I had nothing on my menu that could even come close to this delicious sandwich. It seems pretty simple to be able to put some meat and spread on a nice bread and heat it, but this went beyond simple. The flavor profile hit on all cylinders. I ordered the fries and they too were perfect. Hot and crispy with just enough garlic, and Parmesan to taste it, but not overwhelm it. I cannot say enough about this meal. Between the service, the delicious food, and the ambience, this is now my go to place for lunch. I urge you to take some time to get to the Stuffed Olive in Eagle Idaho and experience what this chef is doing for this community and it's starving foodies. read more

Out of all the Italian restaurants I've been to in my life, this one definitely ranks among the top five. The food is absolutely delicious and I'm really huge portions. The prices are a bit high, but the quality and "to die for" taste of the food makes it worth it. The wait staff is very friendly, but the only problem I had was that it takes a very long time for the food to arrive, even the appetizers, but I assume that's because everything's made fresh. The place is very beautiful, but it's also very small, so it's best to ALWAYS make a reservation, even though they're open seating, but like I said, it's a very small place, so in order to "guarantee" a table, it's best to make a reservation. All in all, a very good place with great food served in huge portions that definitely won't disappoint read more

Absolutely wonderful server! I was sharing a main dish with my mom and they were kind enough to split it up for us on separate plates without having to ask for it. The prime rib dip was perfect. Lots of flavor in the sandwich and au jus. The fries were tasty! I also had a side Caesar that was much bigger than I expected and my mom had a cup of tomato soup, also a larger portion than expected. Everything was so tasty and the service was great. If I was local, I'd be a regular. read more

Service was decent, the restaurant is cute and cozy. I love that they give you bread upon sitting down and offer to get you more when you run out. I did not like my food however, it was very bland and did not have much flavor, I also ordered tiramisu and it appeared to just be lady fingers with whipped cream on top. Not good at all and very crunchy. Glad I tried this place but I will most likely not be back a second time. read more

The food and service are excellent. I had a steak and Brussel sprouts. The steak was a great medium rare and the sprouts were crispy, without any sweet coating. Due to diabetes and being on the keto diet, I stay away from sweet coatings. They were crispy and amazing. Great savory flavor. The restaurant is small but very nice and they don't feel the need to have loud music blaring, making conversation easy. read more

We just found Idaho's best kept dining secret: The Stuffed Olive! Their menu has a broad range of specialty items ranging from pastas, meat and veggie lasagna, salmon, chicken, salads, sandwiches and much more. Their "Chef Specials" consist of tasty homemade appetizers; flatbread, crostini. For example an entree of brown butter and burrata gnocchi paired with a wonderful dessert of mini peaches and cream trifle. The food is amazing, hats off to the chef Liz Martin. The service was also amazing. Our server Lexi was friendly, professional and very attentive. My wife and I throughly enjoyed the ambiance. The entire experience was nothing short of amazing. We will definitely be back. read more

A small, but busy little restaurant. I tried the salmon salad, which I would have to say that the salmon was the best cooked that I ever had! It was cooked PERFECTLY! My wife got the chicken breast Tuscan salad, and her chicken was moist and perfectly seasoned. The tables and atmosphere was not old and worn, but also not spectacular, but average cafe fare. It was clean and inviting. The server was helpful, answered questions, and followed up several times during the meal. The only big complaint was the time it took to get our salads. The people next to us were just getting their food when we ordered, and they were done, paid their bill and had left before we got our food. We were starting to ask each other how much longer we should wait before paid for our drinks and left. I said, "With it taking that long, I hope that they are cooking it with love!" Mission accomplished! Wonderful meal! read more

Good service. Our waitress was very upbeat & attentive. We all ordered different pastas which were already expensive. To add something extra such as sausage, sundried tomatoes or artichokes than sauce was extra. I paid $4 just for artichoke hearts. No salads included. Our pasta came out cold. Which for an Alfredo sauce was kinda gross. Don't think we'll be back next time we come to Boise. read more

The stuffed olive is a small Italian restaurant next to Albertsons in Eagle. My wife and I enjoy their attentive service, great soups, good sandwiches and fresh pastas. Our favorite is the lemon ricotta pasta. I would like to see more protein focussed entrees but that isn't their focus. Pro-tip - Wednesdays they have half off bottles of wine and their wine prices are reasonable even before the discount! read more

As a gluten free person the stuffed olive has many options. I ordered the pasta primavera with vegetables and it was very good ! Service was great and fast. I would order from them again ! read more

If you're looking for a good sandwich with soup combo and are in the Eagle area, I highly recommend The Stuffed Olive's Turkey, Bacon & Avocado with a cup of their signature Creamy Fire Roasted Tomato Soup ($16). It's my go to take out lunch order from this restaurant. Turkey Bacon Avocado Hand-sliced smoked turkey breast topped with crispy bacon, avocado, spinach, tomato, melted cheese, and housemade dijonnaise on a toasted baguette. $14 Creamy Fire Roasted Tomato Soup Our signature soup made in-house daily featuring roasted tomatoes, olive oil, basil, and cream. (*gf without croutons) $6 / $10 I like that even when you get a take-out order, they still give you the fresh-baked bread and olive oil that would have been served if you had dined in. read more

We had Stuffed Olive cater a large party and everyone raved about the food! The Tuscan Baked Pasta, Lasagna, and Veggie Lasagna were all a huge hit! We also ordered the stuffed mushrooms (every single one was gone!) and Caprese Skewers. I highly recommend them for your next event! Deeeeeelicious! read more

I loved the stuffed olive! A great casual spot if you're in the mood for some Italian. I built my own pasta which was absolutely delicious! Don't know where else you can do that. Service was great, a very cute restaurant. read more

My fiancé and I have eaten here several times. The gentleman (tall, friendly, professional) is a legend. He's helpful, makes great suggestions and is fully on his shit. Love coming in to see him as our server. The food has always been excellent. One of the best Caesar salads in boise. The Turkey sandwich is to die for. My fiancé loves her vegetarian pasta that they make "off-menu" for her. The pricing is quite affordable for nice Italian. Beers are super cheap, too. Cozy patio for warm summer months is fantastic. Bread and oil without asking is a nice touch. Been here about 5 times and consistency is king. I've never had a bad meal, poor service, or anything else. This is a staple restaurant for us in Eagle. read more

Ordered to go and was very pleased to be provided with quality food! Was so happy to have received break and oil and vinegar like you would if you sat in. I was only in the store for a little bit, but all the workers were optimistic and considerate of your time despite there only being 2 of them for so many people! The restaurant itself is super cute and would be great for a fancy little meal out. The food was so yummy! The quality of bread is superb and everything is cooked to perfection. I really enjoyed the TURKEY APPLE CROISSANT! Couldn't even take a picture I ate it so fast. Perfect crisp and sweetness with a soft yummy croissant and turkey! Ooo and the cream cheese was so creamy ahhh I already want to buy another one. read more

I'm so glad we found this place. We live in Nampa so it's a bit of a hike but decided to grab a drink and an appetizer before dinner reservations across the street. We sat on the patio and honestly fell in love with it. I had two glasses of Prosecco and my bf had two glasses of flat rosé. Both wines were great and affordable. The bread with oil to start was a nice touch and we also ordered the crustini appetizer. We will definitely be back for dinner or just drinks again. read more

Trying this tiny restaurant for the first time with lots of hope that it will be amazing. The tomato soup was amazing, just as hoped. 3 lovely little croutons, obviously scratch made. Topped with parm, my choice. Then came the meatball sandwich on sourdough. When trying a new Italian restaurant I always try the meatballs. If they are fabulous, chances are the other items will be too. Unfortunately they were tough rather than tender. The sandwich as a whole was dry. Not enough sauce which definitely didn't help the tough meatballs. More sauce might have helped. Probably should have asked for some. I will try this place again, one more time, before deciding to add it into my rotation. read more

Service was excellent.. food was very well done however a major FU.. we had desert "terramasu" Lady fingers need to be soaked in espresso.. this was not?? Creamy yes but not complete? We will be back but?? read more

I have to give 5 stars because I have no complaints. My husband and I drove by and saw it and decided to stop saw 4 stars on Yelp. It was so bomb I got veggie sandwich with tomato soup my husband got French dip with Parmesan fries and the calamari appetizer was one of the best I've ever had! Everything had amazing flavor and crunch read more

First time in Idaho as well as this restaurant and it was amazing. Got the seasonal pasta, the blue and black steak salad as well as the walnut crusted salmon, it was delicious. The pasta had great flavours, cooked nicely, and was a large portion. The salad had great flavours, steak was cooked perfectly, and overall excellent for a salad. The salmon dish was cooked great and loved the crust. The service was friendly and the restaurant was clean and overall a nice environment to be in. The price was fantastic for how good the food was. Definitely coming back if I visit Eagle again! read more

I like supporting smaller restaurants and was excited to try this one out. The service was great. Jaden was attentive and on it. The food was good. A few small critiques for the chef: The angel hair pasta was over cooked by a few minutes. Less is more with angel hair. The Alfredo was bland- barely had any taste. More salt, parm, and garlic. The chicken parm itself was good. The Parmesan fries are fantastic! So bad for you but oh so good! They tasted like onion rings without the onion and a potato filling. So good. The croissant sandwich was great- I make a similar kind and always shred the chicken though. It makes for a better bite. There were large chunks of chicken- not as good for this style of sandwich!! Still good flavor. I hope this place makes it- it's quaint, cute, and offers a good menu. Flavor flavor flavor saves bland dishes. Try implementing some small changes on the flavor side of things for sauces! read more

Our first time here and it was so yummy. We have been so disappointed in restaurants lately but we wanted something new and so we gave here a try and oh man are we leaving FULL and HAPPY! Our server Jaden was very nice and welcoming. We sat outside but at quick glance inside the place looked clean and comfortable. Husband and I shared the Portobello Formaggio appetizer and it was super yummy, the portobello caps were thick and hearty. For entrees we got the shrimp scampi and the cheese chicken prosciutto sandwich and they were both full of flavor and so good. I would get either one again. The scampi had 6 large shrimp and wasn't too greasy. The sandwich was perfect. And you could actually taste the prosciutto. We will be back and we will bring family and friends here for sure. read more

Great little spot in Eagle, ID with excellent service and good food. For appetizers we had calamari, olive hummus, and the parmesan fries. The calamari was good, the olive hummus came with tortilla chips, which didn't make much sense to me since I would assume you'd add pita bread or maybe a toasted cracker of some kind, and the parmesan fries were so good! I had the crusted salmon, which was really good although not fully cooked, and they were out of the mushroom risotto so they offered me pasta. The tomato soup was pretty good, although personally I'd like it to be a bit more dense and less watery. We finished with the dessert flight of tiramisu, berry panna cotta, and a couple others and they were all relatively good. One with apples was super sour but all in all, pretty good. read more

Went for lunch. The service was good. Food was very good. Will go back. Very small establishment so could need reservations for dinner

The food was absolutely amazing. Walnut crusted salmon was cooked perfected, my chicken Parmigiano had this marina that was amazing. The loaded mac and cheese was highly complimented by our son. We will definitely be coming back! read more

Food was horrible-the shrimp on scampi tasted well past its prime and the angel hair pasta was over cooked and mushy. Chicken piccata was lacking flavor and in a creamy sauce, which is no picatta. Although they were very busy, service was friendly and prompt. Music was nice, but they were under staffed and many tables had not been bussed. Overall, wouldn't recommend. read more

Saw great reviews online and we wanted pasta and wine after a stressful day moving. Started with the house salad. The server had me at homemade ranch, and it was a fresh start to the meal. For the main, I got the arribiata (med heat) with meat. She got the seasonal pasta with sausage. Both were excellent and we took servings home with us. Service is friendly, with the right amount of attention. Our server knew the menu and made good suggestions. I'd like to see a more expansive wine list. We got a bottle of barolo that was decent but I'd spend more on a better bottle given how much we enjoyed the pasta. read more
