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

Best beef tartar I’ve ever had. It was perfectly chilled and served with hot steak fries. It was the marriage I’ve been waiting for. Nice wine selections. Can’t wait to go back and try more.

Eating at Kin is always a surprise and a delight. It is more than going out to dinner, it is an experience. The thought and artistry that goes into each course shows how much they care about giving their guests a special meal. I am always astonished at how they combine foods and flavors to make the most unique and delicious courses. Thank you Kin for all you do. We are lucky to have you here in Boise.
