From Naples to Santa Monica to Boise: the same passion for food. A few words from the owner: In 1969, I arrived in Los Angeles and I immediately noticed that the food served was much different tasting than the food that my family prepared in Italy. Upon questioning the restaurant owner regarding the non-traditional meals we were serving, I was told the food must be made according to American taste. My commitment to you: I pledge to bring an authentic Italian dining experience, demonstrating the same passion I’ve had since the beginning. Sincerely, Vincenzo

ÀLAVITA is all about fresh pasta and local ingredients—from Agnolotti to Tortellini to Garganelli, Linguini to Pappardelle—created freshly every day using Northwest flour and local eggs. A restaurant whose name means “to life,” (Well actually two words– ‘alla’ ‘vita’ –that we put together to create one) ÀLAVITA is a great place for celebrating life with good friends and family alike. We offer craft cocktails, open kitchen and a warm, welcoming setting in the heart of Downtown Boise.

    We have been dining here since it opened. It’s evolving beautifully with the growth of Boise. The atmosphere, service and menu are consistently welcoming, consistently comforting yet fresh. We have our favorite menu items and there is always an interesting new dish or twist somewhere to try. The most extraordinary thing about this restaurant, however, is the consistent staff. This is a big deal. It means the back of the house must have some agency, they must be taken care of well. It means they genuinely know what they’re serving, care about your comments, questions, critiques.  It is no longer common to have a restaurant experience where a team are doing work they’re proud of, and to the best of their abilities, presenting it to you . Also, Justin was our server last night and he was fan-freaking fantastic !!! Explained everything well, never made us feel rushed, seemed super competent and relaxed.
