Welcome to Vincenzo Trattoria, where the heart of Italy beats in Northwest Boise! We’re Natasha and Colton, the new owners, and we’re thrilled to carry on the legacy of authentic Italian cuisine that Vincenzo Nicoletta established in 2017. We loved the soul of this place – the handmade pasta, the wonderful aromas, the commitment to tradition – and we knew our family had to be a part of it.

While we’re keeping beloved staples like the homemade bread and pasta that you’ve come to know and love, we’re also excited to introduce some new flavors to the menu. Get ready for the return of our hand-tossed pizzas, crafted with the same passion and quality ingredients, and keep an eye out for unique nightly dinner specials inspired by our culinary explorations. We believe in creating an experience where every dish tells a story, from creamy Penne alla Vodka to the freshest Pescato del Giorno (fish of the day), and of course, the classic Spaghetti alla Carbonara.

What truly sets us apart? It’s our dedication to quality, from the ingredients we source (local whenever possible!) to the care we put into every plate. Our pasta and bread are made fresh in-house daily, a testament to our commitment to authentic Italian flavors. And to perfectly complement your meal, we offer a carefully curated selection of over 60 Italian wines.

Our journey? It started with a very serious question disguised as a joke: ‘What if we quit our jobs and owned a restaurant together?’ It was one of those musings while on a weekend road trip, fueled by a shared passion for all things delicious and a healthy dose of ‘we deserve better than this!’ Natasha’s culinary journey, which began in Portland with training under an Italian chef and continued with two James Beard-nominated chefs, combined with Colton’s own restaurant background and a yearning for something more flavorful than spreadsheets, made us realize this crazy idea wasn’t so crazy after all. What began as a playful ‘what if’ quickly morphed into serious planning—late-night brainstorming sessions fueled by amazing food and wine (of course!). We explored different cuisines, dreamed of perfect atmospheres, and even debated the merits of various pasta shapes (a very important discussion, as you know). Then fate, or maybe just a well-timed online search, brought us to Vincenzo Trattoria. We tasted the food, felt the warmth, and knew instantly: this was it. This was our chance to turn a whimsical dream into a delicious reality. And now, here we are, ready to share our passion, our story, and, most importantly, our amazing Italian food with you!

We envision a place where families gather, couples celebrate, friends reconnect, and everyone can enjoy a taste of authentic Italy. More than just a restaurant, it’s an experience. Whether it’s a special occasion, a casual weeknight dinner, or just a craving for the best Italian food and wine in Boise, we welcome you to our trattoria.

You’ll find us conveniently located in the Northgate shopping center in Northwest Boise on State Street. While our location might be unassuming, the warmth and flavors inside are anything but. Come experience the difference at Vincenzo Trattoria. We can’t wait to share our passion for Italian cuisine with you!
