29 Best Italian Restaurants near Garden City

“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.“

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

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

“Had a fabulous dinner starting with the calamari and a charcuterie board. Our main dishes included the cacciuco (seafood stew), tagliatelle with bolognese and tortioli pasta with hazelnut pesto, carmelized pearl onions and local roasted assorted mushrooms. For dessert we shared the chocolate tiramisu. Everything was outstanding and the service was excellent. Definitely would recommend!“

“Ti Amo Ti Amo! Loved everything from start to finish. We arrived at 830p and was worried because they close at 9p but the welcome was warm, the service throughout was fabulous - no one rushed us, they gave just the right amount of attention, the food was delicious and good proportions at reasonable prices. We had calamari, olive tapenade, flatbread, chicken masala, pizza, gnocchi. I wish we took pictures but we ate eagerly and there was nothing left. I did do a takeout order of tiramisu and snapped photo. Best tiramisu I've had in a long time. A must try if you're in Boise!“

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

“We had such a great experience here! The place has a great, open floor plan that feels inviting. Everyone was very friendly and attentive. I'm recently sober, and was delighted with the mocktail options!! The crimson cooler was delightful! We shared the burrata and it was decadent! I had the Bucatini Carbonara and it was fantastic, with plenty left over to enjoy again at home! Definitely adding this place to my go-to list!“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Late lunch. Had hot Italian Stromboli and Strozzapreti. For the Stromboli, think Calzone. It was spicy and delicious. The other dish was chicken with pasta, mushrooms, chicken and a white sauce. I just had some that was left over and it is great. They also have a thorough wine list and spirits. Will go again.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Excellent pizza and family owned service I highly recommend this restaurant“

“Our server made a great recommendation on the leek and mushroom pasta with the addition of steak, it was an unexpected and delightful pairing! I was underwhelmed with the cliche art and seating. The table next us felt bad and kept trying to be more than quiet because it was so close and you couldn’t help overhearing a conversation, we eventually just made jokes about it and helped them celebrate their night. We enjoyed the food and unexpected guests, but it felt rushed and too quick for a date night.“

“I've been coming here since they first opened in the early 1990s. Best New York style pizza I have had in Boise. Highly recommend the Stromboli with their homemade meatballs.“

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

“Genuinely the best pizza I’ve had in the Boise area — and honestly even better than places I’ve tried in Seattle. You can taste how fresh and authentic everything is, from the ingredients to the final dish. The service was amazing, with perfect pacing between appetizers and entrées. I can’t recommend this place enough. Tony and his wife are incredibly kind and welcoming, and the entire experience was truly special.“

“Great sandwiches. Some of the best I have ever had in Boise. Can’t recommend it enough!“

“Not a bad choice!! If you're in a bus, truck trailer, or any other big rig, you're screwed for parking. There is 1 spot on the side of the road you can park a bus or similarly sized vehicle, but it seems that employees park in it.“

“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.“

“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!!!.“

“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.“
