Made a reservation for Valentines Day while my husband and I were in town for a concert. Every place in town was booked solid for the holiday, but we got lucky and got a table last minute! We were not disappointed one little bit. The hostess and wait staff were very friendly and accommodating, the atmosphere was laid back with romantic vibes, drinks were mixed to perfection and the food was perfection. We ordered drinks first, a dirty martini for my husband and the sage berry bliss for me. Both were mixed well, mine was sweet but not overly sweet, it was just right and paired well with the burrata appetizer. It was light and sweet with pear, brown butter crumble and honey. It was exactly what we wanted for a light appetizer. For the main course I ordered the king salmon & my husband ordered the NY strip steak. Portions were bigger than we anticipated, but not overwhelming. The flavor combinations were unexpected but delicious on both entrees. We ordered cheesecake for dessert. It was surprisingly light but decadent as well, with a chocolate ganache, strawberry sauce and fresh strawberries. We topped off the meal with a couple of cappuccinos, which were divine. The entire meal was perfect and delicious. Our server was on point, very helpful with suggestions on entrees as well as our drinks. He never left us waiting & took very good care of us. The ambience inside the restaurant was aesthetically pleasing with beautiful table linens as well as candles on each table which gave a nice romantic feel to the whole experience. The restaurant was full but not loud at all. It was a unique experience to have full view of the kitchen & chefs while they prepared orders as well as the bartenders while they mixed drinks for the tables. We will definitely be making Tovalata a part of our trips whenever we travel to Boise in the future. It’s absolutely worth checking out. My husband and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for fresh and exquisitely prepared Italian cuisine!

Freshly made pasta, the atmosphere is good, more open with most of the seating seems your witnessing everyone else's dinner. Service was great, good staff and the food was on point. Will definitely go back.

Happy hour food specials were delicious and well priced. Flavors and quality of the pasta and meats were excellent. Service was great. Definitely will be back.. one of few places to have a cacio e pepe reminiscent of Itay and rigatoni and sausage, yum.

The atmosphere and service are worth a visit. The food is not. Not bad, just not worth the price point. Apps were better than mains.
We stopped in last minute on a Tuesday during dinner- I highly recommend reservations! The hostess went above and beyond to find us a table as they were very busy! Tavolata was recommended to us by a friend and we can’t recommend it enough! We both thoroughly enjoyed the food, the happy hour menu, the non alcoholic drinks were a nice touch, and the staff was on it. I do feel like you can keep it casual but you can also get all dressed up to go. I had the beets, the rigatoni, and the focaccia bread. It’s a menu I can’t wait to work thru! ❤️❤️❤️
