ÀLAVITA is all about fresh pasta and local ingredients—from Agnolotti to Tortellini to Garganelli, Linguini to Pappardelle—created freshly every day using Northwest flour and local eggs. A restaurant whose name means “to life,” (Well actually two words– ‘alla’ ‘vita’ –that we put together to create one) ÀLAVITA is a great place for celebrating life with good friends and family alike. We offer craft cocktails, open kitchen and a warm, welcoming setting in the heart of Downtown Boise.

    We had an early dinner at Altavita. The service was attentive and the food was fabulous and beautifully seasoned. Our wine went perfectly with the food we ordered. We will definitely return soon.

    Alavita is always exceptional. This dining experience was no different than all the other times I've been to Alavita. The pasta is amazing and the service is top notch.
