Malvagio's Italian Trattoria

The most amazing, charming Italian dining! Hosted a last minute wedding dinner for our group of 30 (during the Christmas holiday rush)!! Over the top service! From the moment we walked in the door we were pampered with the greatest service! I have never been so pleased with a restaurant!!! Many personal touches made our day perfect! From the delectable Caesar salad dressing, to the giant meatballs on the spaghetti! And the wood fired pizza was the Pièce de résistance!!!! Reach out to Tricia, you will be utterly pleased!

My husband and I had Malvagios cater our wedding up in Idaho and it was the best decision of the whole wedding (besides saying I do!!). The whole process of picking out the food, planning food into the timeline, and communicating back and forth about details was not just super easy, but so so enjoyable and exiting! Tricia was such a blessing throughout the whole process. She was so encouraging and supportive and made sure the whole process of planning and serving dinner and dessert amazing!!
The food was also some of the best tasting food I’ve ever had, all our guests were very impressed!! It was a huge blessing to have had Malvagios cater our wedding, we are so grateful!!

Closed for Labor Day I’m guessing because they didn’t answer the phone but their VM and Google page says they should be open

Terribly bland experience. I would not recommend the fettuccine Alfredo nor the sous vide chicken that they offer with it. The chicken somehow ended up tough and bland atop the fettuccine Alfredo that was also bland and rapidly on its way to being cold. Since it wasn't warm at all, it was sticky and clumpy. The ambiance was okay, but surely they could think of something better than just posting the same notable quote all over the restaurant. The server was nice, though slow, not the food, just the service. Waiting for her to return with the check, and then waiting for her to return with the leftover containers (for our chicken's and dog's- not for us to try struggling through this awful meal again). My daughter had the tomato basil soup, she said it was "okay, tastes like the soup from Panera bread, but costs more and doesn't come in a yummy bread bowl" - so there's that. My husband had a pizza, he said "it was alright, at least it was hot". BTW the soup was super hot, as if it had been microwaved.

Great pizza and quite comfortable atmosphere. A hidden gem!

My husband and I recently traveled to Italy for the first time. The concept is true, eating in Italy will ruin you. Dishes are prepared with passion, ingredients are whole foods and exceedingly fresh, flavors are blended perfectly, in most trattorias you feel as if you’re being welcomed to the table as family.

This evening we stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant. I can honestly say, in every way described above, we felt transported back to Italy.

The owners are a mother daughter duo who share their story on the front of the menu. The friendly and knowledgeable head chef was our waiter. The Caesar salad alone was worth the five stars. The pizza was amazing, the ravioli was superb, the shrimp were prepared to perfection.

This is a true “don’t judge a book by its cover”. From Government Way, it’s a standard American strip mall, complete with a vape store and trophy shop. But don’t let the humble exterior fool you. There’s a delightful dining experience awaiting you just behind that door.
