About the restaurant

Welcome to Vincenzo Trattoria! We are Natasha and Colton, the new owners as of December 2024. We are so excited to carry on the legacy of authentic Italian cuisine in the Treasure Valley.

Like so many of our customers, the handmade pasta, the wonderful aromas, and the commitment to authentic Italian food is really what drew us in to the restaurant – and we knew our family had to be a part of it. We continue to make all bread and pastas in-house from scratch daily, as well as homemade sauces, hand-rolled meatballs, and nightly dinner specials using locally sourced meats and produce.

Our vision was to establish a place where families can gather, couples can celebrate, friends can reconnect, and everyone can enjoy a taste of authentic Italy. 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!

We made reservations same day and got lucky. We had never been before. We arrived a bit early so we waited at Art Haus but we still got to go in before our actual time. Drinks were great! Views were great! Staff was great! We’ll be back. With friends!

We had heard of Candle in the Woods and finally visited with friends for my wife's birthday. We love food and wine and Joahua provided many tasty bites and sips throughout the dining experience. His presentation was creative and classy. We cant wait for our next visit!
