About the restaurant

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

Vincenzo Trattoria is for people who love an authentic dining experience. This means the owners are always present - cooking, seating you, making things run smoothly. There is not just some manager appointed by an out of state owner of a big chain that only looks at the bottom line, or a chef who is still trying to figure out where things are. This is a family who are all in because they care: about making fresh pasta on the premises every day. About serving fresh seafood and risotto dishes cooked in imaginative ways every night. About preparing a wide variety of the most authentic Italian food in Boise. About offering many kinds of quality Italian wines to go with your dinner. About creating a warm, family-oriented atmosphere where you see gleaming tables with candles glowing when you come in. About providing prompt, attentive service. About charging a fair price. About wishing you well and making you feel cared about when you leave.

I love coming here for a fresh farm to table meal. Great food, service, and location. Just a nice place to have a tasty meal. I wish they offered more vegan options ( they alternate between 2 of the same ones). The food tastes wonderful, but a switch up every now and again would be great!

The “Millionaire” burger was delicious and perfectly cooked! Fries are the best…crunchy and addictively tasty. Service was terrific! Ambiance is beautiful!
