Based on at least ten visits, (three last year before we moved here)…read more Great shop for; all types of pasta, sauces, custom ravioli, seasonings, olive oil, marinades, garden decorative items (seasonal too), soup packs (for crockpot especially), mustards and so much much more! We would bring back to one family the gluten free pastas. We are not gluten free..regular pasta for us. Now that we live here, this is our regular shop to enhance our home cooking recipes. Very good customer service. I highly recommend the soup packages, take a look at the salt percentage but the majority are on the low to moderate. We've been purchasing the same soup packages up north. If a veteran, let the cashier know. Oh.....the Star local monthly newspaper had a great article on The Milled Olive. Regarding prices vs quality....if this is your first visit, buy one pasta package and one marinade. You'll appreciate and notice the difference in taste. The price is worth the value. Bring some pasta home and treat your family!! Five plus stars!! Shop local also.

My girlfriend and I took Indulge Boise's Boise River Urban Wine Trail Tour, and it was about the…read morebest introduction to Boise we could have asked for. Angela, the head of Indulge Boise, led our tour herself! Her love for the area came through in every story and every stop on our journey. The Greenbelt and Garden City districts were calmly beautiful from the get-go, but she brought them alive with history, personality, and local pride. Henry, who was training to lead the same tour, was also a perfect presence--warm, curious, and already bringing his own perspective and enthusiasm to the experience. We absolutely lucked out with two pros, brimming with hometown pride. We started with amazing tacos at The Sandbar at the Riverside Hotel, then continued through a relaxed, beautifully paced mix of wine, food, river views, and local storytelling. Nothing felt rushed, and everything felt thoughtfully curated. (Every wine stop--Telaya, Proletariat, Dude Dewalt--was excellent and exactly what we needed at that point in the tour. As were the surprise lemonade and RIVER DOGS from PJ's!!) This is exactly the kind of tour I'd recommend to visitors, locals, or anyone thinking about making Boise part of their life. A 100% memorable afternoon--one that set us up for further exploration with a probable move here!

The food sampling was varied and oh so yummy. We had to indulge in the Basque cheesecake and bought pieces to take back to enjoy later at the hotel. There are two more delicious stops. You will not go hungry! You can also opt to add alcohol to your food tour but there is water and mocktails if you didn't. It was one of the best things we did on our trip. Book it and you won't regret it.

This place is a little gem…read more My wife and I came with three other couples to celebrate a couple of birthdays. They do take reservations and I strongly recommend making them, especially for a large party, of which we saw several last night, a Saturday. Located on Orchard St near the intersection with Franklin, the building itself it just average to look at. They do have a cool mural on the south side wall depicting various gangsters: Dillinger, Lanskey, Nelson, Capone, and Seigel. As you enter, on the left there is a small bar with seating near the check in desk. There is also a separate waiting room to the right of the entrance. There are a lot of tables packed fairly close together in the dining room. Our server was Arturo. He was friendly, attentive, and very knowledgable about the food, giving recommendations as to his favorite dishes and explaining in detail how the special of the night was prepared. Really, he was exceptional, especially taking care of a large group. To start, there is what I think was a rosemary bread, along with balsamic vinegar and oil to dip, which was very good. The mushrooms and the fried calimari appetizers weree great. And, all of the entrees were deemed "10/10" when we did our informal polling at the end of our visit. My wife had the scampi and I had the margherita pizza. Other entrees included lasagna, angel hair pasta with meatballs, chicken scallopini, and the "Gabriel". All of the food was delicious. Our group definitely plans to come back and enjoy another dining experience at Luciano's, in our opinion, the best Italian restaurnt in The Valley.

New owners, chef Natasha (Tasha) Getchell and Colton Messa, have made delightful improvements since…read morebuying this restaurant from the original owner in roughly December 2024. While the name remains the same, everything else seems an "ahhh..." some improvement from making the interior more welcoming, the service more gracious and the food more delicious. With the changes initiated in early 2025, it is still early days in their ownership and I'm sure there will be more to come as the eatery evolves. SPACE & SEATING: The original owner had such bright lighting inside that it felt as if one could land a plane there but now it is soft lighting that along with greeting offered by Colton makes guests feel very welcome stepping in the door. Italian themed music at just the right level to know it is there but not to compete with conversation. Table seating that was "sardine can tight" under the previous owner, so tight that it made it a squeeze for servers trying to get to the tables and even blocked the path to the loo, has been rearranged to offer space to get around. MENU & $: The new menu remains pasta centric; retains many of the former favorites and has been expanded to add new dishes. Pasta price points are roughly $23 and up for expertly prepared dishes in generous portions and served hot to the table. There are also antipasti (cold and hot) that start at about $13 (example; for salads) to $23 (example for fried calamari and shrimp). Arancini are on the antipasti menu here and they are hard to find in this area. The new chef has also added "of the day" specials for fish and risotto. Because the pizza oven has put back in order, they are also offering a handful of pizza options. One could order a meal as simple as a pizza and salad or do what we did when celebrating our anniversary recently, and share the beet salad with orange and goat cheese ($17) to start then order both the Risotto del Giorno (on this evening it was sausage, broccoli rabe, corn $32) and Pescato (fish) del Giorno (on this evening it was full of lobster meat and tail-on shrimp over pasta in a perfect light white sauce $39). Of the day, del Giorno, options are AQ so the server will provide the price when describing the dish. Both of our dishes were delicious with in generous portions; some of the risotto came home with us to be enjoyed the next day. (See my photos.) My husband is Italian on both sides and grew up in an Italian neighborhood in Brooklyn and he thought the dishes perfect. IF I WERE QUEEN: I would bid wave my scepter and have them I would reduce the number of pasta dishes (some carried over from the old menu) and add in a few other non-pasta Italian options. (A la A Cena or Nostrana in Portland. This chef has the skill to do it.) SERVICE: The chef's daughter has been the main server but an accident a couple of months ago means she is needing time to recover and the friendly young woman serving on the night of our visit, with back up from Colton, did a lovely job. We felt well tended but not hovered over and she seemed to be offering the same gracious care to the tables all around us. It seemed she may have been a little new to the menu ingredients but that will come with time and this was big tip worthy customer care. LIBATIONS: A thoughtfully crafted wine list, beer and soft beverages across price points and our two by glass wine options totaled only $21. RESERVATIONS & AN "ALL ARE WELOME HERE" GREETING FOR WALK INS: Reservations via Open Table or by calling the restaurant and it is best to make one, although on busy Thursday when we dined in, there were a couple of walk ins, both a single and a family of four, who were able to be seated. And it is worth noting that the single young man diner and the family of four with teens in tow were treated with the same welcome and attention as the reserved dining guests. That doesn't always happen in restaurants and it didn't happen here under the original owner with the wife working front of house. ACCESSIBILITY: The inside set up has some tables that would be accessible to diners using wheelchairs and that is a layout improvement made by the current owners. The ongoing problem is the parking lot here has always been non-compliant for ADA with not a single spot of accessible parking near the restaurant. The lot owner finally marked a space with the ADA logo but the infuriating (that is the right response) thing is that they did not add a curb ramp so unless a wheelchair user can step up over a roughly 6" curb this is worthless. It also violates 36 year old Federal law and Idaho State building code.

I was served a pale, bland piece of chicken that looked like the flash frozen kind you can get at Trader Joe's. The skin was not crispy at all. The chicken blended into the white plate. The sauce was not at all baked-in/carmelized. The veggies lacked flavor and had no yummy crispiness. So disappointing. I make chicken at home and rarely order it bc I can make it at home. BUT I'd get it at caci bc it was so darn good. No longer. Did I eat it? Yes, bc I was starving and wanted to fill up on protein and veg in an effort to avoid eating handfuls of unhealthy popcorn during a Three hour movie later today. Did I express my dissatisfaction when I was there? I sure did and received a "well, sorry."along w an explanation that they recently switched to a boneless hen as it saves time in the wood oven. (Nice server...manager stayed away!). Bad move. They need to return to the prior preparation. Very disappointing. I won't be back until they bring back the chicken. $40 tab with one lack luster dish and water....not worth it

If you live in the Treasure Valley, and enjoy going out to eat, and haven't been to Italianesque,…read morethen you are missing something special. This is more true if you live in Nampa, and this situation applied to my wife and I prior to yesterday. Don't be put off by it's location. Yes, this spot does not seem like a place where you would find a great eating establishment, but based upon our experience, that should be at the bottom of the list of concerns. The vibe of the place represents it's truth. Italianesque feels like a family run restaurant, run by people who enjoy what they do. That's because that is exactly what it is. There is no corporate mood or tone here, but rather it feels like friends wanting to run a neighborhood restaurant with all the good things that go with providing that kind of service to the local community. I'd recommend getting a reservation if you want to dine inside, but we failed to do that last night and the tables were full at 5:00pm on a Thursday. That's a pretty good signal that Italianesque has something good going on. Our experience was five-stars across the board. We ate on the patio which was pleasant in the shade, and the soft breeze felt nice in the informal al fresco environment. The service was excellent. Paula was a delight, and the other servers were all super friendly and helpful too. We enjoyed our specialty cocktails as our food was being prepared, and we enjoyed the appetizer special. The single word I would describe our dinner entrées would be "Wow". I had the spicy Cajun Seafood Linguini, and it was truly delicious. So full of flavor! We ended our meal with a slice of Key Lime Pie which did not disappoint. My opinion is that Italian food should be zesty and bold, cooked with passion and served with a smile. Italianesque delivered. If you enjoy bland Italian cooking, or just an average meal, there are plenty of other places you can go to. We'll be back to Italianesque, because there were many other things on the menu that I really want to try.
