My favorite restaurant in Boise! Important to know they are not dedicated GF but the majority of the menu is or can be prepared gluten free or gluten reduced. The food is consistently fantastic in a delightful atmosphere with knowledgeable fun and friendly staff.

What a find. The menu has very clear marking as to what is or can be made GF and what is considered “gluten reduced.” If I wasn’t flying the next day, I may have risked a gluten-reduced option just to try some authentic homemade pasta, but stuck to safe fully GF options. Staff is knowledgeable, my meal was fantastic. Last but not least, THE DESSERTS. Almost completely GF dessert menu. I had cannoli for the first time in a decade and then almost died of happiness

So if you want to have an "Italian" dinner that's gluten free this is your place. Now you may not enjoy it though. My risotto was under cooked so my Aroborio rice was crunchy. On top of that the flavor was unappetizing and I definitely wouldn't get it again. My wife said the Black ravioli wasn't appetizing ether.

The artichokes were pretty good and my wife and kids said the meatballs were decent. So to warn you I am an Italian and grew up in Italy. I am sure there are people that will enjoy this food but I certainly did not and will never come back. It definitely wasn't worth $150 for 4 people to have dinner without any alcohol.

Waiter was nice and attentive and understood my gluten free needs.

Had a phenomenal experience! Almost their entire menu is gluten free. You have to ask for the gluten free pasta, but they provide two different options of pasta. Best gluten free pasta I've ever had.
