About the restaurant

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’ve been dining at Chandlers for 5 years now. It is every bit as outstanding as it was the first time we were here. That speaks volumes! We will be clients forever. Food quality, cocktails quality, service quality, entertainment quality are unmatched. You pay for what you get as the saying goes. Chandlers is worth the value!

The Pre Fixe Menu is wonderful. Steaks, salad, lobster bisque and sides and desert. What more could you ask for. The Christmas decorations were beautiful and the staff was wonderful. Ruth Chris will make any evening special.

Best newer restaurant I have been to in Boise for a long time. Impressive experience from start to end, might be the only place in Boise that is not trying to turn a table quickly, you’re able to take your time and enjoy. Tables were nicely spaced, felt cozy and quiet even though the space is fairly large. Food was top notch, made me want to go back and try some of their more adventurous starters. Great to see a place like this in Boise that is seemingly thriving and can’t wait to return.
