While the various versions of rustic steakhouses on Main Street may be the stereotypical image of tourist Bozeman, every once in a while you just need variety - and perhaps a place that is warm, friendly, and comfortable without having to be so "Montana" image-conscious. We found Blacksmith Italian for dinner last night and had a wonderful experience. Our server was very friendly (thanks Justin), and the food was really delicious! I would definitely go again!

It was absolutely amazing. The buzz of the whole restaurant was great! We didn't have a reservation, so we sat on the line of the kitchen where it was a bit noisy, but Absolutely amazing to see the kitchen work like they did!
We wanted Italian before a race so we have this place a try. The patio was nice and had heaters. We had reservations and they even had reservations booked at the bar so they should have known how many people to expect. We waited over an hour for our food and everyone around us waited similar times. Two of our party had spaghetti and it was overcooked and nothing special. I had the Orecchiette Rustica which was good. The waiter said sorry for the wait when the food came out but that's it. I'm not sure if this is normal or if something happened but it wasn't a great experience.

Odd experience. Ravioli Bolognese was wonderful and also our Corn Dumpling entree was tasty. Inattentive staff and food could have been warmer if they paid attention instead of chatting one another up… for an expensive tab, would expect a lot

Not your typical italian food restaurant. Small and quaint. Very different dishes, truly unique and delicious. They do serve cocktails and wine.
Disappointing dinner for our 17th wedding anniversary. I ordered the chicken Marsala and my husband ordered the salmon risotto special. When our entrees came out, mine was hot and delicious while my husbands was lukewarm at best. Clearly it had been prepared earlier and they attempted to reheat it. For $40, you don’t expect reheated food. So, I ate my dinner by myself, and my husbands newly reheated dinner was delivered to the table just as I took my last bite. Romantic, right? They offered us a dessert on the house—-but that didn’t make up for the entree disaster. The tiramisu was barely edible anyway. Served in a little rectangular dish, it also had been prepared quite a while before. The whipped cream on top was very heavy,and crusty. We won’t go here again.

Food was fair. Bread toooo hard to eat even after second return. No one at table could eat it. Seafood risotto was just good too much lemon. Steamed mussels tasted old and real fishy. Service was good but overall not worth the money.

The food is delicious. For appetizer we had the greens goat cheese beet salad which was excellent.Then the sweet corn and mushroom agnolotti and squid ink pasta. Pasta definitely tastes really fresh since they make it in house. The flavors for both were varied and tasty.Recommend reservations as they were booked for Friday so we sat at the bar. That was fine but if you want a table better call ahead.

This is the story. We had 5 in our party. I had the lamb chops they were wonderful. However, my other guests had menu items and our appetizers were OK but not fantastic and very small portions with very high prices. Even high for bozeman prices. The staff was great. I was very happy to tip them well. The building is a bit cramped, and it's difficult to maneuver.
