About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Great for creative cocktails
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 love dining here, especially at the bar, but today we celebrated my Mom’s 81st Birthday! It was delightful as usual and we very much appreciate the quality of food, wine, cocktails and service.

    Always a wonderful dining experience at Alavita! Burrata appetizer is not to be missed. The Caesar salad was unlike any other Caesar and delicious. Chicken Piccata with fresh tagliatelle pasta and mushrooms and a divine sauce was outstanding. I took half home for another dinner. The Cacio e Pepe Ravioli my wife thoroughly enjoyed. We topped off our meal with a perfectly light Limoncello Tiramisu. Our server was most pleasant and let us dictate our pace. It should also be noted that ALL of the TEAM at Alavita are awesome and complement the Alavita experience - one not to be missed!

    We were visiting Boise for the 4th of July and wanted to find a restaurant that was open but not a chain, we found Alavita and was not disappointed! The waitress was wonderful and very versed on the menu. The food was amazing and we would definitely go back. We both got pastas that are hand made each day and they were delicious! I highly recommend Alavita!
