A reservation was made and we made our way in Saturday to celebrate. My husband and I were late arriving cause of work. But my family and friends got drinks and apps started. I wasn't expecting them to wait but I'm happy that they did! The drinks and apps kept them at bay till we arrived. The venue is stunning! I love the decor here. I have always been intrigued with European vintage decor and this restaurant is beautifully devoted decorated with this kind of esthetic. Such a romantic setting. The rich deep red wall. The ornate vintage frames. The plants. It's truly a beautiful set up. After my husband and I got settled in and drinks ordered, we got dinner placed. I got 2 orders of meatballs and my husband got the seafood pasta. While food was being worked on, everyone shared the bread and balsamic olive oil dip that was on the table. I heard the bread was good. I didn't get a chance to try it since it was communal. Our meals were slowly trickling out. My meatballs looked amazing! My husband's plate looked fabulous. You can see the shrimp, mussels, clams.... We all became quiet and started on our meals. My meatballs were huge! I have had meatballs at other restaurants and have been hungry still. The size of these babies let me know I was not going to have that issue. It was nicely covered in marinara. A hearty covering of parmesan. Everything about the meatballs were great! I have severe fomo so of course I had to try my husband's plate. I tried a couple of his penne. I was really thrown back at the heat of the sauce. I tried another bite and it was still spicy. The spice was something neither one of us were expecting. Before I say anything to our server, I did look over the menu to see if we missed anything in the description of the dish. No chili was listed. Nothing about it being garnished with chili flakes. From reading the menu, no spice was described in the dish. My husband has a real sensitive pallet so I asked the manager/owner why spice wasn't indicted in the menu. We wouldn't have ordered it if there was. The manager said they can remove the sauce and add new sauce that didn't have chili flakes in it. "It would make it less spicy." I was actually surprised he didn't suggest a new dish that didn't have heat in it. We were complaining about the heat and I honestly don't think replacing sauce that has spice in it with new sauce with spice will do anything.... but hey, we went with it. The second dish was made and dropped off. Unfortunately, the sauce was still spicy and my husband could barely eat it. He ate the seafood which was a few pieces of shrimp, clams, bay scallops, mussels and fish. This dish was drowned in this sauce so there was no way to eat the seafood with the sauce. This dish is 34 bucks and my husband could barely finish the seafood. Our server was kind and got me birthday dessert. The chocolate cake was killer good! It wasn't overly sweet. The frosting was rich in chocolate and the cake was super moist. I only took a couple bites and took the rest home. I was not going to leave this bad boy behind. We spent a little over 70 dollars on dinner to have my husband leave hungry. I came home and made him a second dinner. Nothing more disappointing than spending that much money just to come home and eat again. Money is tight for everyone so the fact that we chose to come here and spend our heard earned money to have my husband hungry just makes my heart sad. Overall, my meatballs and cake were good. Service was great. The venue is very pretty. But, having my husband eat a meal that was poorly described in the menu is just disappointing and having him leave husband is upsetting. I'm happy I got to try it out but I don't think we will be hitting up this joint again any time soon.

The ambiance was warm, cozy, and inviting with a relaxed atmosphere that made it easy to sit back and enjoy myself. I ordered the lasagna with bread and olive oil, and everything was delicious and full of flavor. I paired my meal with a glass of white wine, which was perfect. For dessert, I had the tiramisu, and it was such a good way to end the evening. Zoe was my bartender, and she made the experience even better. She was welcoming, friendly, attentive, and made me feel comfortable from the moment I sat down. Great food, good wine, a cozy atmosphere, and wonderful service--I really enjoyed my visit to Italianesque and would definitely come back!

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.

The crunchy bread and warm mayo are all you need. The other sandwiches, like the Italian, are so large they could easily feed three people. You really get your money's worth here. I had lunch there last Friday, and the Noglista soup in the same cup brought back fond memories. The service met all my needs in this cozy, two-person grinder shop; everything runs like clockwork. The atmosphere is low-key, adorned with many photos of sports teams, from the Broncos to the local little league teams that are sponsored by Manicos. The place is kept tidy, which is impressive for a fast-paced eatery. I hope you enjoy your visit and create memories similar to those my family and I have shared there.

Sidequest can be compared to your widowed mother dating a new guy, and that guy finds one of your dad's shirts still in the closet, then makes the decision to wear it out for dinner. Sidequest, you aren't my real dad. When WHG took over the space that was previously occupied by a bench landmark restaurant, I thought they would update the space quite a bit. WHG has many restaurants in the valley, and they have a very specific feel to them. Everything was the restaurant it once was. The mural above the kitchen, the fixtures, the decor, even all the way down to silverware being in a tin placed on the table. NOTHING is an original concept other than going from French cuisine over to Italian, but even the menu is stripped down in the way the prior restaurants had. Some might call it honoring a legacy, but to me it seems incredibly lazy. As for the food, we started with a slice of tiramisu. This was the star of our evening. The desert was a generous portion, and it would be a shame if anyone missed out on it. The rigatoni was spicy without being overbearing, but the chitarra lacked an emphasis on lemon, and needed more cream. Additionally, charging $13 for a shrimp add on is pretty excessive, and not having a chicken option as a protein seems like a large oversight for those who have seafood allergies. Great service can be a wonderful lasting impression, but if the food is overpriced and underwhelming, I don't think there's a reason for me to ruin the memory of what this place once was.

From the moment we walked in, you could tell this was a true family-run restaurant.

The food was so good that we completely forgot to take pictures before digging in, which honestly says everything. We started with the Caesar salad, which was solid, but the stars of the meal were the entrées. My husband ordered the shrimp Alfredo, and I had the Rosemary Chicken Formaggio. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, flavorful, and homemade. Somehow, it was even better the next day as leftovers. My husband's favorite part of the meal was actually the rosemary focaccia loaf they bring out with oil and vinegar. Simple, but absolutely delicious.
