About

Bar: Full bar

Downtown Boise's Àlavita is a locally inspired Italian joint that sources ingredients from local farmers and producers. Housed in a historic 1890 bank building, it features an open kitchen where you can watch chefs make pasta from Northwest flour and local eggs. The menu changes seasonally, and 90% of it can be prepared gluten-free.

The central u-shaped bar is a visual anchor, with custom light fixtures and local lodge-pole details. Garage doors open to Idaho Street for a true indoor-outdoor vibe. Reservations recommended, especially on weekends when they stay open an hour later.
