About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Great for creative cocktails
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.

    We enjoyed the Battilardo selections that were a perfect appetizer. Bolognase was well prepared, served with fresh pasta. Our server was informative, attentive, and engaging while maintaining a professional stance. We look forward to going back again to try other selections.

    Always a must when we stay in Boise. The food and service are always top notch. We had the mushroom salad and the grilled prawns and it was very good.
