23 Best Italian Restaurants near Eagle

“My husband and I have been dining here for 5-plus years, so I'm reviewing as a regular customer. I order the seafood lasagna and my husband gets the meat lasagna. In our minds we've found magnificent options, so why change? I"m sure other entrees are also wonderful, though,so I'm committed to trying something different next time. Maybe .We ordered the calamari appetizer in the bar a few months ago and it was better than the typical calamari offered by many restaurants.It was crispy, not greasy, and had a flavorful sauce that didn't taste like marinara from a bottle. Usually, we don't order appetizers here because the entrees are generously portioned. While we rarely have room left for dessert, the few times we've ordered it, it's been decent, but not memorable. That being said, ask your server if berry cobbler is available. If it is, order in advance (hot with vanilla ice cream) and save room for it. You'll thank this review later. Dinners start with the house salad and excellent bread (seriously delicious) and whatever beverages you want. There is a full bar and we've never been served a less-than cocktail. The wine menu is fairly basic with decent, affordable options. There are wines that will appeal to connoisseurs, as well. If you're looking for a place to watch a game and get a drink, the bar is cozy, and friendly with two or three tv's showing various sporting events (or just one if you're there during a Boise State Broncos game). You can order appetizers and dinner and eat in the bar, if you prefer that to the dining room. The restaurant is unpretentious and the people running it are friendly. Service has always been attentive and friendly. Occasionally there is live music. The restaurant is a bit on the small side and when it's busy, it gets noisy. It's not the best place for a quiet conversation and I wouldn't consider it romantic. It's got great food however, and a nice vibe! Dress is casual. Get reservations if you're showing up later than 5:30 on a Friday or Saturday. It's a busy place and is popular with us locals for a reason.“

“I left pics and comments regarding food. But wanted to update this. I called them and requested refund and they are sending me a gift card. They were very nice and were very apologetic. They get 5 star rating for service!!!.“

“Had trouble with this section. Would have raved more.“

“Was my first time in today. First off, when walking in was greeted by the owner and as soon as I heard his accent I immediately went back to the sandwich shops my grandpa used to take me to in New Jersey. Second, this is the first shop that has made a Philly cheesesteak like they do in Philadelphia. 10 out of 10. I’m definitely going back there as soon as possible“

“Dine in | $30–50 We hadn’t been to Vincenzo’s in several years and decided to give it another try last night. With the new ownership, the level of hospitality has truly stepped up. We ran about 10 minutes late for our reservation, and when I called, they assured me it was no problem — even though there were people waiting for tables when we arrived. I really appreciated that they still honored our reservation and welcomed us warmly. Our server was attentive, checking in often to make sure everything was just right. The owner, Colton, was engaged with guests, serving, chatting, offering suggestions, and making everyone feel at home. Chef Heidi’s dishes were outstanding. My friend ordered the meatballs (something I usually avoid), but they were absolutely delicious. We also had the fritto misto, zucchini fritters, fettuccine and veal, all fantastic dishes. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate — perfect for a date night. Between the warm hospitality, excellent food, and inviting setting, Vincenzo’s has become a spot we will happily return to.“

“We came in on Valentine's Day without a reservation. The staff were very accommodating and found us a table in the dining room. Staffing was exceptional with plenty of front end, waiters, bussers and bar help. My Wife asked for a dish that was not on the menu and after the waiter asked the chef the possibility, it was made for her. Wow! I ordered a steak and shrimp dish with broccoli. I was amazed at the tenderness and flavor, the sauce bathed the shrimp in a spicy wonderful sauce and the bocolli was cooked to perfection. Will be back. Staff were constantly attentive the entire time.“

“I’m really grateful they built an Olive Garden here in Meridian. The Boise and Nampa locations had gotten so busy that it was hard to enjoy a meal without a long wait, and this location has been a great addition for our area.

The restaurant is in a convenient spot, the atmosphere is welcoming, and it’s been a solid experience each time we’ve gone. And of course… the unlimited breadsticks are still a favorite. If you’ve been avoiding Olive Garden because the other locations were too crowded, this Meridian location is absolutely worth a visit.“

“Absolutely fantastic, every dish (including the kids' meals) was delicious, full of flavor and no one left hungry. Excellent service! 100% recommend.“

“Took my family out to dinner here, and it was AMAZING!!! Very delicious, and Antonio our server was very professional at what he does, and he made us feel really welcome. I'll surely come eat here again!! A+++++++ Food & service!“

“Home made ravioli’s were awesome! Tiramisu was huge!“

“Awesome scenery! Awesome staff! Awesome food!!“

“Outstanding pizza and great service! We will certainly be returning.“

“We visited Margherita Pizza for the first time tonight. Seeing a wood fired oven in a pizza restaurant is a good first sign. A friendly, personable staff is the second. Tasting a fresh salad, refreshing Italian soda, and delicious pizza (in a style very similar to what we had in Italy) sealed the deal for us! They just gained two more loyal customers.“

“Probably my favorite spot in Meridian to have a drink. Their espresso martini is the best in the valley. And they make a fantastic old-fashioned.

Their flatbeds are fantastic, but I really love their Bolognese. Trust me on this, it’s an amazing Italian dish.

The staff here is great, I’ve gotten to know them well. They treat you well and it truly feels like friends.“

“Visited for the first time today and loved their pizza. Waitresses were so attentive and service was stellar. Such great vibes! Will be back for lasagna night!“

“Food is fantastic and enjoyed the variety of options available. Our waitress was great, she was very polite, helpful and a joy to have as a server. We sat outdoors, which at first we were concerned due to the weather, but it was screened off and heaters were placed above most if not all tables. If you sit outdoors, wear warmer clothes on your legs as it was the only thing that got a little chilly. The only thing that would make the atmosphere better would for them to reduce the music. I would prefer a quiet and more intimate setting during dinner.“

“We order from these guys A lot. Best pizza in town by far! highly recommend!“

“Great lunch menu, had the bow tie pasta with chicken and it was wonderful. Good and friendly service, and good prices.“

“I never understand why this place isn’t busier. They have a fantastic happy hour menu. All the servers are so friendly and welcoming. It’s a very relaxed atmosphere. They have a lovely patio. Every kid gets a full cup of crayons and some coloring books. They have a little arcade room. It’s a great place to bring your family. My kids love the build your own pizza. I’m a huge fan of the mozzarella sticks (I love how thin they are and there’s a good crunch) and the vegetable Alfredo. The portions are huge.“

“Delicious food and friendly service! On recommendation from Spencer, I tried the stromboli. Glad I did. 😁😋“

“I ordered a special for $25. It was an extra pepperoni pizza, large and a 2-liter for $25. I did carry out and placed it for 6:45-7pm pickup because it was 6pm and I was doing uber but needed to feed my family! The food was super fresh and ready at 6:45pm. It looked absolutely amazing. I have ordered here a total of 8 times in the last 5 months and have not been disappointed once. I have always lived by Chicago connection being the absolutely best pizza ever due to there sauce being thick and cheese being thick, all pizzas being a deep dish, it’s amazing! It’s mine and my families favorite pizza 🍕 the woman at the front counter was super nice and friendly. I had already paid online so she just got my pizza and I got my two liter and skedaddled. This Chicago connection isn’t ever busy when I go in so there wasn’t a wait but the pizza is 100% worth it!“

“we had pizza and margaritas, the food was fantastic. and our server was the friendliest, and she recommended items for us. we will definitely be back. if you haven't tried this place you should. not only pizza, but have pastas, steaks, seafood, salads.“
