Boise

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

This was our second time celebrating our anniversary at Anderson Reserve. The tasty steak dinner, attentive service, upscale country setting, and warm hospitality were uniquely wonderful. It’s clear the Anderson family sets a high bar for a high-quality dining experience that makes every patron feel special. The highlight of our evening was a delightful conversation with Dennis and Phamie Anderson as we were leaving. Thank you to the Anderson family for making our anniversary celebration extra special.

I don't know where else you can get those cheddar biscuits or lobster, but for the money I think there are much better dining options. The food is adequate, but for the price it should be more than adequate.
