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.

    Can't beat their pasta and sauces. My husband and I had the tagliatelle with the bolognese and the pappardelle with spice sausage, both excellent. My mother had the chicken piccata with pasta on the side, delicious! I love the grilled artichoke appetizer although a little pricy for what you get. Otherwise the meal portions are generous. The cocktails were unique and delicious as well. Highly recommen!

    We have been dining at Alavita for many years and have always had a great experience. Unfortunately, if last night was any indications, Alavita has deteriorated on all fronts. My meal was basically inedible as it was way overcooked. The cocktails were amateurish, the ambiance was sorely lacking and the service was less than average. We won’t be eating at Alavita again.

    The service was really good but the food was marginal and the restaurant was to loud with very small seats.

    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.
