This is a very thoughtful, locally owned and run restaurant; the owners help serve, cook, and supervise. Because of the kitchen size, they are limited to a certain number of patrons at a time. This ensures a high-quality experience every time. The food is always delicious, the service fantastic, and the ambiance is superb. An authentic Missoula experience - we absolutely love it here!

About the restaurant

Abruzzo Italian Kitchen opened in December 2017. As is the Italian tradition, our focus is on the quality of our ingredients and simplicity of preparation. We cook by hand, from scratch, including all of our fresh pastas and wood fired pizzas. In addition to the Italian staples, we offer an extensive shared plates selection, grilled steaks, fresh seafood, and a small but decadent dessert list, all prepared in-house and served alongside an Italian-focused cocktail program and an Italian-centric wine list. Hospitality is the core of what we do: our staff is warm, genuine, knowledgeable, and attentive, and we pride ourselves on creating memorable experiences for every guest that walks through our doors.

Bar could have been better - long wait, light pours. Waitress was awesome in restaurant, food was good. No crab in seafood pasta - there was supposed to be crab and shrimp. All in all, it was good

The ambiance was lovely. Food was well presented and start to finish, the best meal we’ve had in Whitefish/ Kalispell. The wedge salad was a meal in itself; oversized and easily feeds 2 people. The Himalayan salt ribeye was delicious; didn’t even require additional sauce. The halibut special with shrimp risotto was large portion and seared perfectly. The finale was warm Jameson bread pudding and we substituted vanilla for huckleberry ice cream - heaven. Our server Colin was wonderful. He was the perfect balance of attentiveness while not hovering. He was professional and friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and went the extra mile with suggestions for hikes and other local activities.

Beautiful setting on the golf course. Not a large choice of entrees but everyone found something they enjoyed. The pork chop and wild meat bolognese were big hits! Free desert for the birthday girl!
