Abruzzo Italian Kitchen - Calamari - Italian Near Me - Whitefish, Montana

Downtown Whitefish is super cute area and this restaurant is on the strip where there is street parking. We did not have a reservation but we're sat pretty quickly. Our server was super nice and helpful. We got the baguette starter and it was delicious bread. I ordered the seafood pasta. Very tasty. Lots of seafood was in it. I was iffy about the creamed cauliflower but it was a good add. read more

Well we really liked this place we ate at the bar which we do a lot. Very lively (loud crowd) not necessarily bad for us. Ordered drinks and decided to just get a couple of starters. Calamari and Muscles. How could you go wrong? Well the muscles were very small and the calamari was more like cardboard than the chewy texture I associate with that seafood. Good service nice guys behind the bar but with the tip $110.00 and very disappointing meal read more

10/10 food! carbonara pizza, rigatoni all'amatriciana was soooo good, rigatoni alla vodka was great, calamari was delicious and light, elk tartar was great. Bread was warm. 10/10 from our waiter. But for a $300 dinner and to have our food delivered to the table next to us, passed around to each person and sat down at their table THEN PICKED UP and brought over to ours because they delivered it to the wrong table was a little uncomfortable. Not gonna kill us so we ate it but just unfortunate service and attention to detail when it came to the food that put a damper on it. I've never dined in a restaurant that has served our food to other guests came back and said oops wrong table. all in all, food was great. read more

My brother Tim treated me to a birthday dinner at this restaurant in Whitefish Montana. All I can say is "oh my goodness." it was outstanding. The food was impeccable. The service was spectacular and the ambience was inviting for conversation. Thank you, brother. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

More than 5 stars!! This spot is incredible!! We decided on cancelling our super fancy & expensive dinner to dine at Abruzzo's TWICE in one week! The elk tartare was a great starter with the crunchy Caesar salad. Boar Bolognese was also order twice because it was so perfect. Try to get in early because it fills up fast (summer) and try to people watch by the window. Would go back in a second! read more

We had a reservation here while on our girls trip to Glacier... after that dining experience, we decided to come back twice more before our trip was over! Their pizza and pasta are extremely hard to beat. Service was always great, loved the ambiance. Conveniently located in downtown Whitefish. The perfect spot to hit up after a day of hiking in Glacier National Park!! read more

Abruzzo Italian Kitchen - Pizza carbonara... 10/10!!! - Italian Near Me - Whitefish, Montana

This is a must stop if you're ever in Whitefish. The ambiance and service let me know right away this was going to be an amazing meal. Our server made some recommendations on drinks and food and our table decided to split the cauliflower and a pizza as appetizers before ordering our own entrees. When the entrees came out, we ended up passing them around so that everyone could enjoy the flavors. Every dish was made with care and tasted amazing. Will be thinking about this meal for a long time! read more

This was a pretty good restaurant! The food was very good! The place was smaller, so there was a wait. The waiter was very nice and was very knowledgeable about all of the options. Although we didn't get refills until we asked. Overall a good experience! read more

I loved the ambiance and service here. Our server, Brad, was very quick and attentive. I ordered the wild boar ragu which was delicious. The sauce was flavorful and rich. My only criticism is that the noodles seemed a little too al dente, in my personal opinion. My friend ordered the carbonara which was delicious. The sauce was creamy and well seasoned. I would highly recommend. It has a great atmosphere, overall. read more

Food was so good! Haven't had the best fine dining experiences in Montana so far because I feel like most of them only look nice rather than actually taste that good. But both food and presentation here were so good. My husband loved their calamari and called it the best he's had. Pasta was cooked perfectly. My husband got the wild boar and I got carbonara. Both delicious! I only give it 4 stars bc I think the service could've been more attentive and sweeter, given its ambience but all in all still a great experience! read more

We had our welcome dinner here and the food and staff were amazing. Highly recommend!

Such a delicious find in Whitefish! If you're a fan of Italian food, this is a must stop. Definitely recommend getting a reservation in advance. The inside is rustic, but still upscale and modern - love the large bars and visible pizza oven for the ambiance. Their patio also looked nice, but we sat inside. I started with a Bees Knees, which was cute and delicious - love that it was purple from the empress gin. We also shared a Cesar Salad & the Fruit Arugula Salad. Both were really tasty, but our group preferred the classic Cesar. I shared the Prosciutto Pizza & Pesto Pasta, both were rich and delicious. We both preferred the pasta, it's fresh and unique flavors made us just keep wanting more! Quick tip, ask for the noodles softer if you don't like Al Dente. All is homemade in house, and you can tell! My only downside is that at 7:45 they were already out of Lasagna, so we couldn't try it. But the wonderful service & staff made up for it by letting us know early so we could order the pizza instead. Overall, I wish this was in my town because I would eat here all the time! read more

Abruzzo Italian Kitchen - Bolognese, very tasty - Italian Near Me - Whitefish, Montana

It's difficult to stay open, serve great food & offer excellent service in the off-season, but Abruzzo comes through on all three. We went twice during a 6-night stay. A surprisingly flavorful starter was the charred octopus and white bean salad. The octopus was warm over the white beans and greens. One entree, a wood-fired pizza had a crisp, thin crust, fresh basil, parmesan cheese, light sauce; delicious. Another entree we enjoyed was the roasted chicken with mushroom & carmelized onion risotto: if you don't want pizza, try this chicken dish instead. There was one special dessert that I would have avoided: the tiramisu. It was meant to be shared...big serving...and instead of being topped with cocoa, the traditional ingredient, it was topped with cinnamon. I suppose cinnamon is a "healthier" substitution, but, well you can decide. read more

This was a recommend from our wedding site visit and it did not disappoint! Celebrated here saying yes to the vendor and could not have been happier with our choice!! Staff was super friendly and never made us feel rushed at any time considering they were due to close soon after we arrived. From the host who was very welcoming and offered a preference of seating choice, to our server and bus person and runner - all made us feel at home. We shared apps a salad and entree with a bottle of champagne and two specialty cocktails - so perfect! And let's talk about their made in house bread .... WOW! We almost fought over the last piece lol. Everything was so delicious and made to order (so be prepared for a lengthy stay). Our server coursed everything perfect and again, didn't make us feel rushed at all. We chose to sit on the patio to enjoy the weather, it was such a beautiful day and even though there wasn't a view of the surroundings, it was still such a pleasant experience. Just like sitting in grandmas backyard while she whips up her homemade recipes from Italy! Highly recommend making time to enjoy this incredible little restaurant! read more

After a long day of hiking in Glacier National Park, this place was just phenomenal. The food, vibe, drinks were really good. The staff was friendly and service was quite fast as well. The meal comes with a complementary bread; the pasta is homemade; the ambience is fancy and location is also great. It is slightly on pricier side, but I feel its fair for the food and service provided. read more

Food and service were very good. Must make a booking. Can get very crowded for walk ins.

Our family came here to celebrate my father's 70s birthday and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The food was amazing, the service extraordinary and their gluten free options were top notch! Our waitress Katie was incredible and made sure we had everything we needed before we even low we needed it! She was one of the best waitresses I've ever had! She's quite the gem! read more

The menu was enticing, and the food did not disappoint. My husband got the rustic baguette and the Amatriciana. I got one bite of it, and immediately regretted my choice. The Amatriciana was absolutely phenomenal! I cannot recommend it enough! I got the Truffle Gnocchi. Unfortunately, the Gnocchi were chewy and dry. The sauce was good, but there wasn't enough to save the dry Gnocchi. The price was too high for the quality in my opinion. The staff was wonderful, very helpful, and very quick. The restaurant was very quaint and charming, and it was a very nice experience overall. read more

The best of the best in town for dinner. Absolutely everyone goes here so their phone is constantly ringing off the hook. Walk in early to make a reservation if you can't on OpenTable - and give what they take you! (And folks - be kind to these hostesses! I am agog at the displays of entitlement and rudeness I've seen. As if that attitude ever got anyone a table!) read more

Have been to this restaurant in Whitefish a few times. Each time has been perfect. The food, no matter what we order has been exceptional. Service from beginning to end the Best. I usually get the wild boar Ragu. It has always been so amazing that I find it difficult to try something else, but I did. I opted for the ragu alla vodka. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce wow!!! My husband got the carbonara and he said undoubtedly it was one of the best pasta dishes he has ever had. We love the ambiance in the dining area, but the area out by the bar has been fun as well. Service is always top notch and this last visit was no exception. Can't wait to go again. Honestly there are many great restaurants in the valley, but I feel this is my favorite restaurant. read more

Great place to eat. Their food is amazing!! Never had a bad meal. The service is great too!

Valentine's Evening in Whitefish, Montana brought us and extended members of the upcoming wedding party to Abruzzo Italian Kitchen. I had found Abruzzo weeks ahead while doing some research for our first night in Whitefish. I suggested to my extended family the idea of all eating at one restaurant on Valentine's Day for dinner. They agreed to the idea. Unfortunately, most restaurants (anywhere) would struggle to host a party of 12 guest on Valentine's Day. A day where most tables are set up for couples or a party of 4. We booked 4 reservations over the course of the evening to get everyone in to Abruzzo that evening. There would likely be some cross over of parties coming and going, no big deal. We arrived on schedule and 2 of the 4 parties were seated and some were already finishing their dinner. We were seated in the front window and had the wonderful Sienna as our server. She was great at getting us a settled, updated us on the evening's specials and took our orders for beverages. 2 members of the party ordered the small steak special, I ordered the Bolognese pasta and lastly one ordered the veal T-bone steak. We all split a Caesar salad and enjoyed a bottle of wine. We chatted with the table next door and ended up buying them a round of drinks. Next, the future bride and groom stopped by our table and the other table of wedding guests. Our food arrived and all were pleased. The Bolognese was a great choice for me and the small steaks were very well received. The veal T-bone was the disappointment of the evening. It was super thick and lacked flavor. Additional wedding guest arrived for their reservation but ended up joining the 2nd party at their table. Once the table next to us emptied that group asked and was moved next to us to further continue our dining experience. Much laughter, chatting and reminiscing occurred that evening. We all finally, left the restaurant after paying our bills. Sienna, the manager(s) and host team were very accommodating to all the shenanigans and chaos that our large group presented to Abruzzo on a very busy night. Whitefish may never be the same but Abruzzo Italian Cafe was a great location for so many members of our extended group and should we find ourselves in Whitefish again we would absolutely visit Abruzzo again. read more

This is absolutely the best Italian restaurant in Whitefish and the valley. Great pasta and salads.

Very charming Italian restaurant in the heart of Downtown Whitefish. We visited due to celebrating a birthday and we got a little bit of everything. For starters, my favorite was the cauliflower and fresh baguette. Do not miss out on trying their olive oil and balsamic glaze with the baguette! For dinner I got the pear pizza and the cesar salad, the cesar salad was overly salty and the pizza was lacking in sauce. Others in my party got pasta dishes and said theirs was delicious so, I recommend getting a pasta if you are dining with Abruzzo. Lastly we finished with desert, do NOT leave without getting a desert. We had the fresh strawberry sorbet and another lemon cake item. I'm not typically a man of strawberry flavoring, but loved this sorbet, it was super fresh! One thing I did not understand though is if you split a meal they will charge you extra? So, just ask for a separate plate. Our server Hannah was a sweetheart as well! She was attentive and made sure we were taken care of especially since we were celebrating a birthday. read more

Great food great service menu changed to what's in season. Lovely atmosphere fresh food and fresh drinks.

This was a nice restaurant! We came here back in August and we really enjoyed our meal. We sat in the back dining area and we had good service throughout our meal. We enjoyed a nice cocktail and glass of wine and we really enjoyed our entrees; my wife's salmon was cooked perfectly and she loved it and my NY strip was also delicious and cooked well. We would definitely come here again the next time we're in Whitefish. read more

Abruzzo's is a very nice Italian restaurant. Unassuming from the quaint street entrance you enter into a lovely and roomy restaurant with a long beautiful bar at the far end. The menu is filled with favorites and we were not disappointed. We split the Spaghetti and meatballs (an old favorite) and were given an extra meatball to make it even! The half portion was more than enough. And it was scrumptious! Our server was very friendly, conversational. We were well taken care of. The place was really bustling when we were there. It's best to call ahead for reservations. read more

Great food and salads! We tried the pasta with boar, fantastic taste! Service is great also! Pizza we didn't try but looked good!

Good food, unique food. Small portions slow service. I think for the cost the service could be better

Excellent food and service! The Bolognese was amazing! Warm delicious bread, very comfortable setting. Lovely place to eat in Whitefish!

What a lovely and unexpected treat! The restaurant was utterly charming! We started with drinks and had a house special margarita. I'm not able to do it justice so I won't try. It's tasty! Tonight's special was the halibut with fingerling potatoes, a sauce that had olives and capers in it, along with pine nuts and eggplant. It melded together beautifully, so delicious! For dessert one of us had tiramisu and the other a butterscotch crème. I preferred the butterscotch but both were well done. Katie was our server, she was excellent, very knowledgeable about the wine list. She and the rest of the staff we had the pleasure to interact with were pleasant, professional and helpful. Next time we are up this way we'll be back! read more

Stopped in after a long long day of hiking at Glacier National Park. This place was busy but we were okay with sitting at the bar. Service was friendly and our bartenders went above and beyond to make sure we were having a good time. Their bread and olive oil/balsamic vinegar were delicious and all the pasta is homemade. I ordered this veggie pasta (no cheese) but my friends tried the basil & arugula pesto rigatoni and wild boar rigatoni and said good things. They were sadly out of the elk tartare but that was highly recommended. It is slightly on pricier side, but I feel its fair for the food and service provided. read more
