Bison Lasagna! Genius! I love lasagna and they took it to a whole new level. My wife had the Chicken Parmesan and raved about it. Everything was prepared to perfection! The service was every bit as amazing as the food.

Flew in to Boise enroute to McCall on Thursday. Was surprised I was able to secure a reservation for same day by the time we drove through Horseshoe Bend. Haven't been to the restaurant in about 5 years and it didn't disappoint. Meals were excellent as well as the focaccia and dessert.

Ragazza delivered an unforgettable evening of bold, soulful Italian flavors. The fennel sausage pasta was a masterpiece—handmade noodles tangled with juicy, herb-kissed sausage in a sauce that sang of garlic and chili. The mushroom special followed, earthy and luxurious, with wild fungi draped in a silky reduction that begged for bread-dipping. We capped it with the apple crisp: warm, caramelized fruit under a buttery crumble, crowned with house-made cinnamon ice cream that melted into pure autumn bliss. Service was flawless—attentive yet unobtrusive, with spot-on wine pairings from an inspired list. Chef Topple's touch is everywhere: precise, passionate, and utterly delicious. Ragazza isn't just dinner; it's a love letter to pasta.

Always a consistent wonderful experience.... Service, food and wine pairings in a cozy small town setting! You almost believe you are in Italy, in the middle of Idaho! Heat date night with my hubby... thank you Chef Topple and Team!

Ao many restaurants in the area have declined over time and become inconsistent. Ragazza is not one of those. It is always great service and food!

Always a favorite stop of ours when we are in the McCall area. The food is fabulous and very creative. I really enjoy the fresh made pasta. Last evening they had a fresh made bruschetta for the focaccia bread that was simply amazing. As they suggest you should consider reservations as even on a Tuesday night it was a very busy place.

This is a wonderful restaurant. Everything is superb..We had their signature “local shoemaker” lasagna with bison Italian sausage in a delicious cream sauce and the Idaho trout puttanesca both dishes were delicious, we shared a loaf of their homemade focaccia bread..it's a must..they also have a nice wine selection..I highly recommend making a reservation you'll be glad you did

Our server, Julie, was amazing! Very friendly, patient, and helpful!! My sister accidentally spilled her water, and Julie was quick to the rescue and even got us a new tablecloth. The food was AMAZING! I had the lobster linguine, which was divine. Truly. Huge chunks of meat and the sauce was incredible. I added the bread service to soak up my sauce. So delicious! If you have not tried this place yet, you must. It's my second time there and won't be my last. Prices are fair as well, especially considering the quality of the food and outstanding service. I highly recommend this restaurant!!!
Beautiful experience, from the great service to the delicious food. Love coming early 430 pm and enjoying a nice meal and still have the evening to enjoy!

We had a wonderful experience at Ragazza Di Bufalo. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with just the right mix of rustic Idaho charm and upscale Italian style. Service was attentive and friendly without ever feeling rushed. The food was the highlight—authentic flavors with creative touches. We especially enjoyed the bison lasagna and the clam chowder, both of which were outstanding. Portions were generous, and everything felt fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The wine list also paired nicely with the menu. It's not the least expensive option in town, but the quality and overall dining experience make it well worth it. A real gem in Donnelly and a place we'll definitely return to.

Amazing as always! The chicken parm is the best! Our waitress surprised us with a glass of prosecco for our anniversary! Service and food never disappoint! Can't wait to come back!
