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.

    This place was as good as it gets! The service was 5 star and then we get to the meal. Our appetizer sampler ( you choose what you want off a very nice set of options) was fantastic. They offered up a seasonal risotto special in addition to our menu options. The risotto was exceptional and the local chanterelles were delicious. I had the cioppino and would highly recommend this dish as the flavor profiles were well balanced and the seafood was perfectly prepared. If you’re dining in the downtown Boise area, I cannot recommend this place enough. Enjoy.

    We had an early dinner at Altavita. The service was attentive and the food was fabulous and beautifully seasoned. Our wine went perfectly with the food we ordered. We will definitely return soon.

    Alavita is always exceptional. This dining experience was no different than all the other times I've been to Alavita. The pasta is amazing and the service is top notch.
