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.

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

    Can't beat their pasta and sauces. My husband and I had the tagliatelle with the bolognese and the pappardelle with spice sausage, both excellent. My mother had the chicken piccata with pasta on the side, delicious! I love the grilled artichoke appetizer although a little pricy for what you get. Otherwise the meal portions are generous. The cocktails were unique and delicious as well. Highly recommen!

    The music playing was very loud. The server was friendly and attentive. This our first time eating Indian food. I wish the food was explained better.
