Blackbird Kitchen - Italian Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

I came here by a recommendation from two different people that also visited Bozeman. We got the pappardelle and caesar salad with tiramisu for dessert. All parts of the meal were SO good. It was probably one of the best Caesar salad salads I've ever had. The pasta was light and delicious. Parking was street parking, so make sure you factor that into your drive time as that area is busy. We made our reservation through Resy and that was a smooth process. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Blackbird is the hipster pizza and Italian joint of Bozeman--not dissimilar to what you would find in other new-tech-money cities: woodfire oven, the brown paper menu, the carafes. It's a profitable vibe, and it works. We had a lovely time here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was buzzing, and we got sat at a cozy table by the pizza space, which was fine by us.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The two of us shared a bottle of rose, which was half off for happy hour, so that was a sweet deal. We ordered all of the small veggie plates because they all looked amazing. We loved the cauliflower with its crispy bits and chili and nicely acidic with the capers. So good. The parsnips were a bit too much with the pecans, etc. but we still liked them. The delicata squash were a miss because the brown butter sauce was drowning the whole plate and they added sugar and it was way too sweet and the squash weren't cooked through. So, no. For mains, we all shared the margherita pizza and the mafaldine lamb sugo. Both of those dishes were impressive. You could taste how fresh the tomatoes were on the pizza, and the pasta had a ton of lamb. The dish was a meat flavor bomb. Dessert was a basic but delicious tiramisu and some chocolate chip gelato. While the host was very on top of his A-game, our server was not. She messed up our daughter's drink order, never once bothered to refill our wine glasses when they were going low, and was generally absent most of the evening. She was nice, but not of the caliber that this kind of establishment should be employing. We waffled between giving this place three or four stars, and we ultimately decided to round up from 3.5 because we did have a lovely time as a family on our last night in Bozeman. It's a good place, and a good enough meal, but for 'what it is', it could be better. read more

Great food and service from start to finish ! We were promptly seated for our reservation, and greeted by Mary our outstanding server. The restaurant was buzzing ~ a very uplifting environment. After reviewing the menu and discussing with Mary we decided to share a pasta dish, followed by a pizza. We had the Bucatini with walnut pesto and finally shaved parm, it was outstanding! Perfectly cooked, well dressed, as fresh as can be. Next we had the Salsiccia pizza, which features Fennel Sausage and sweet caramelized onion. The dough was super thin and crisp, the toppings plentiful. It had a little kick that was offset by the sweetness of the onions. The restaurant only offers beer and wine , but their selection is plentiful. All in all a great meal in the lovely town of Bozeman. read more

This place, Blackbird Kitchen, is generally not a walk-in so yesterday we made reservations for bar top seating so we could talk to the chefs. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Darker interior, crowded, nicely dressed clientele, this place is "jacked with a cool vibe".[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Our perch near the food prep station allowed us to watch them making the magic and discussing our choices for dinner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We started with marinated warm mixed beet salad with dill, sherry vinegarette, mint, chili, citrus, pistachios and smoked cherve. This was a show stopper with the dill waking up your mouth and the beet and cheese being perfect. The mafaldine braised lamb sugo and grana padano was good, but just not memorable. The salsiccio fennel sausage, garlic, red onions, sweet onion and chili pizza was another story. The dough was slightly chewy, good airyliness, sweetness and a firmness to hold the ingredients without wilting. A perfect white pie! If you can get reservations or by chance snag a bar seat, get over to Blackbird Kitchen for a nice evening, pleasant staff and delicious dishes, you won't regret it. To the staff at Blackbird, nice job and thank you. read more

I'm local and have been here several times so maybe I just noticed but $21 for a kids pizza is about as sleazy as it gets. You don't even see that in big cities where I'm from. I ordered the verde pizza and after 40 minutes the pizza came out with raw lamb sausage. This was all to go. I ended up leaving without my food and over paying for my sons. Shame on you. read more

SO, SO DELICIOUS! This is an inspiration in dining. smaller menu but so well thought out. Being a true Italian (home) cook, I love the authentic flavors. Every thing blended together beautifully from one bite to the next. Started with the pickled vegetables and stracciatella (with pickled rhubarb!) and fresh baked crostini... they practically had to pull this away from me. My husband and I then shared the lamb and beef pappardelle pasta- delish. Obviously homemade, melt in your mouth. I rarely eat pasta. This was worth every single bite. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Beautiful setting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We visited Blackbird after a day at Yellowstone so we sat and at the bar and it was still romantic yet casual.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Amazing restaurant. This place is a hidden gem, well not really hidden but a local spot. The food is stellar. Service is great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The area is small so get there early or get a reservation if you can, this place is worth it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The kale salad is great. The pizza is top tier. The beer and wine menu is one of the best in the area. I will be coming back when I'm in the area next time. read more

Flavor everywhere Options abound Serving team cares I got here ten minutes before close and was welcomed like the first patron in that afternoon. I got a wonderful table near the right side bar, and then was welcomed again by a fantastic server who knew his stuff inside and out. I elected to go with a glass of wine that suited my needs, along with the white beans and a pasta dish. They were delicious, and I augmented those with a cappuccino. All the while, pleasing tunes were playing, the clientele was enjoying themselves, and I felt like I was ready for a bit more. As entirely delicious as everything was, I did have a bit of room left. Thus, I went with a dessert wine and the affogato, and let me tell you, I have zero regrets. I know it's only one visit, but I'm thrilled with the spot, and recommend it highly. It'll be on my list to return when next I return to Bozeman, hands-down. Highly recommended. read more

Walked in without a reservation and we were seated at the bar. We got the pizza we ordered after waiting for over 40 minutes. Unfortunately the diavola pizza was not worth the wait. The crust was thin and soggy, and only the edges were cooked well. The pizza was blah, the flavors were nothing to rave about. Maybe a different pizza would've been better. We also got the oyster mushrooms with mole blanco and those were tasty. The service was just ok. read more

Blackbird is hands down one of the best dinner spots I've ever been to and easily the best Italian I've had. Every dish was AMAZING. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Something else I looooove about this place is they don't use seed oils, and you can taste the difference. The flavors are clean, fresh, and seriously amazing. If you're in Bozeman, you have to eat here. Either make a reservation or get there right when they open and grab a seat at the bar. Trust me, it's worth it. read more

Absolutely hands down one of the best meals we've enjoyed! The staff was amazing and so accommodating. We will be back very soon!!

Everything about this restaurant was fabulous. Best Cesar salad I have ever had. When we first got there, we were early and sat at the bar. There were two bartenders -lovely people. I wish I could remember their name. The meal was wonderful. What really stood out was our waitress, Abra. Honestly, the sweetest girl ever. Very friendly and took so much time to go over the menu. She had such a positive energy and seemed to really enjoy her job which I am sure is not easy at times. Best server we have met in a long time. Restaurant recommended by a bike tour and Airbnb. They were spot on read more

Made reservations for this restaurant that I found from TikTok. Glad I did because people were waiting for a table outside. They honored my reservation and sat us right away. There is no liquor only wine and beer. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place was a dark open kitchen , cool vibe that is located right on the strip.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They were out of 2 pastas. (I wasn't happy about that) The menu is very small but the food is good. I recommend the diavolo pizza read more

Great food and great server, Adriana! Would go here again. We had two of the pastas and a salad which were delightful.

The food at Blackbird Kitchen was excellent. Both pastas were packed with flavor, and overall the quality of the ingredients and execution were impressive. The only knock on the food was the pizza, which was a bit too saucy and floppy for my taste. The pastas were homemade. Also pretty cool to see a bunch of young men running the whole kitchen. Couldn't be someone more than 25 on the line. Very rad. Unfortunately, the service really dragged down the experience. As a table of two, we ordered just two pastas and a pizza, yet dinner stretched beyond two hours. Our server rarely checked in, and we had to flag someone down multiple times just to get water refills. It felt like our table was largely forgotten for most of the evening. I'd happily come back for the food because it was genuinely very good, but the service needs significant improvement. This would have been an easy 4-5 star experience if the hospitality matched the quality coming out of the kitchen read more

Visiting from Chicago. I thought the food and service were outstanding. The bread and pickled rhubarb on the appetizer menu was to die for!

I cannot say enough great things about this place. The food is outstanding. Every single dish - pizza, pasta, salad, dessert - was a hit. No misses. Excellent service, fabulous design, friendly staff. Easy 5. read more

This place is popular, but I'm grateful they were able to accommodate my husband and myself as walk-ins on a Monday night in the summer. I'd recommend making a reservation if you have a bigger party. They only serve beer/wine and didn't sell liquor- which I'm learning is common in Montana. Stracciatella was incredible, tomatoes were sweet and perfectly ripe. Chimmichurri skewers were a little tougher than I was expecting but had great flavor. And their ragu pasta was meaty, while the noodle shape did a great job capturing all the flavor of the sauce. read more

GHASTLY!!!! FRIGHTENING SERVICE. RESERVATIONS FOR 2 ! 7 parties were sat all walk ins before us. The host appeared to be drunk and was TWITCHING the whole time he was talking, He had a very rude tone and was dismissive as he sat any young women alone before any of the COUPLES. This is WEIRD! [[HIGHLIGHT]]What a chaos indicting environment it truly feels like a scene from the movie SAW! Not a good date spot. Feels haunted[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I had only been to Blackbird once as I had a horribly burnt pizza and said I would never go again. My husband wanted to take our kids there for his Birthday. The pizza was burnt again and the center was soggy so if you picked it up all the toppings fell off. The two pasta dishes were literally child size portions we literally all looked at each other when we saw how small it was and thought it was a joke! Then to top it off after a $200 meal they couldn't even comp my husband a $10 birthday dessert ! Beyond disappointing and the biggest waste of $200 ever! As a Bozeman native and previous owner of 2 restaurants in this Valley I know how important food quality and portion size is to people. They want a good value for their hard earned money. You do not provide either of those. Very sad by yet another terrible dining experience in Bozeman. read more

Dropped in on a Monday night without a reservation. The place was hopping, so no luck on a table, but they seated my party of three at the corner of the bar, so it worked out great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Atmosphere was lively and fun, service was attentive, and the food was just what we wanted.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Started with pickled carrots and shishito peppers, and finished with two pizzas. Cant wait to come again! read more

The food was ok, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the atmosphere was very nice[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], the service was horrible. We were greeted & seated quickly but the good service ended there. The waitress took a drink order & brought one cocktail right away. The other arrived 20 minutes later. It was nothing complicated, just an Italian soda. She kept walking by the table and saying- oh, I'll see where your drink is... when something wasn't right, my meal was missing an item, she did nothing to make it right, just really big smiled and said it was mixed in (it wasn't). The food... ugh. My grouper was cooked nicely and placed on a bed of risotto. Unfortunately they wrecked it by squeezing a ton of citrus juice over the entire dish. I couldn't eat it but the waitress never check on us to see how the food was. My husband's Oso Buco was sub par. The meat was dry and the sauce over seasoned. I'd avoid this one. read more

The food is always great when we come. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is crowded and you want a reservation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It is worth it!

Our family came in on July 4th, luckily despite the city block party right at the corner. The Host was able to accommodate us at the last minute for a big group and kids. All the dish are very well balanced and thoughtful. The Pizza dough are rival the best Pizza Los Angeles and Phoenix AZ has to offer, plus the super friendly pizzaiolo. Blackbird level of execution of farm to table is on par with Michelin star level for the front and back house. Hopefully you will get a red and a green star soon. read more

If you come to bozeman ever come here! I ate here so frequently when I lived here I lost count. Now I eat here every time I visit! It's consistently delicious fare. Their pizzas are life changing, their menu seasonally relevant palates, their summer gelatos are what I imagine heaven to be made of, and their roasted vegetables can cure you of any burdens. Definitely get their kale salad. Can't go wrong with their exceptional array of pastas either. Their wine selections invariably pair impeccably with their foods. If you haven't eaten here yet you should feel despondent enough about it to create a journal entry. Allow me to begin the jot, "Dear Diary, I have made some tragic choices that have kept my feet away from bozeman's hiking trails and my tongue in gastronomic Siberia..." read more

Amazing food. Went there over the summer and had a fantastic meal. Ordered a lamb ragu pasta that was mid but the Pizza and bison steak was top notch excellent. Service was good. My only critique is that the lighting on one side of the restaurant is very dim at night. So dim that I had to use the light from the street light through the window to see the menu. Luckily another table opned up that we were able to move to before our food came out. read more

Went here on a Saturday in January for a bachelorette weekend special dinner. Because of the size of our group, we had to do a set menu. Which I'm so glad we did because WOW. 6 courses. It was family style, which was news to us. So we all got to taste everything! My favorite was probably the tortelloni. But the straciatella with the amazinggggg house made bread was divine too. I took a photo of the menu so that lists everything we had. It was so much food, we took a whole pizza back to our airbnb. Our server was so kind and helpful. She took our epi-pen level food allergies seriously, which was so reassuring. Lastly, we had to push back our reservation by an hour and a half due to getting stuck behind an accident earlier in the day that significantly delayed us. The staff were so flexible and understanding, which we appreciated. I'm a Bay Area girl and this place was something I would expect in San Francisco, in vibes, decor, music and food. Can't wait to come back! read more

We ordered the bucatini all'amatriciana and the stracciatella pizza--both excellent. The bucatini was rich and comforting, with a well-balanced sauce that didn't feel heavy. The stracciatella pizza was a standout: perfectly cooked crust, creamy cheese, and great flavor balance. Thoughtful execution, quality ingredients, and an easy downtown vibe make this a spot we'd happily return to. read more

Came into town for a day after a week at Yellowstone and decided to give Blackbird a try. We arrived just before 5 o'clock and things were starting to fill up. We were able to get a seat as long as we were gone by 6:30 for a reservation that was coming - we were promptly seated in the main dining room and purchased a carafe of House wine.(23.00 and it was tasty.. they did offer wine by the glass but this was a better deal) it's not a large space, but does fit several two tops, and a few large tables. The space is very well appointed We tried the Barada and a pizza. Both were absolutely delicious. The bread and crust of the pizza cooked in a Woodfire oven makes a huge difference. The crust of the pizza was thin, airy and tasty. They were not real overly generous with the sausage, but it was enough to give you flavor. The sauce and sausage were spicy. I loved the intimate feel of this restaurant. It was packed when we left by 6 PM. When In Bozeman- add this to the love list read more

I recently stopped by Blackbird Kitchen in California City and had a great meal that really exceeded my expectations.
