This was our first experience and it was absolutely fabulous! Experience from start to finish was amazing. Staff was very nice and our waitress Ryllee was very helpful with the menu and made sure we were taken care of! Food was fantastic. I ordered their pasta primavera, it was incredible and the vegetables were cooked to perfection. The lemon zest added a burst of flavor that was sensational. Thank you so much for such a fantastic experience. We will be back again for sure.

The best lasagna I have ever had! You can just taste to freshness and the sauce was perfection. Not sweet or overly cheeses but only fresh mouth watering taste! My husband had the Cajun sea food linguini. Spicy but not too spicy. Just right and delicious. Ever server and apparently a family were kind friendly and gracious! Nice surprise to find this Italian restaurant. Our new favorite!

My friend and I decided to try this out and we were not disappointed one bit. Started with espresso martinis that were to die for. Shared the burrata pomoddoro for an app then decided we would do family style with our entrees. We got the ravioli with butternut squash and pancetta and Cajun seafood linguine. Both dishes were presented so beautifully and each had a unique taste that was so mouth watering. Definitely going to be back to try more dishes.

This place was absolutely delicious! The passion from the owner to the chef clearly shows. The sourcing behind the food was very thoughtful as well. We had the burrata appetizer and the bolognese. Highly recommend we will be back.

Our first time dining and we love it! In our opinion it's way better than Olive Garden and Johnny Carinos. My husband had the Mac and cheese with added bacon. I had the ravioli with butternut squash and both were phenomenal. We'll definitely be back. For our 2 entrees and non-alcoholic drinks we paid $50. Not bad for a nice restaurant on a date night.

The food here is outstanding! My wife and I came to town on business and really wanted some good Italian and the reviews are definitely what brought us in. However, the delicious dishes we had along with the super friendly service will have us coming back every chance we get. I should note, we did come late in the day and near closing time but we were still met with a friendly staff and welcomed in. My wife ordered their amazing Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and I ordered the Lasagna but later came to find that they were out of the later. Our waitress/bartender (I later found was the co-owner) recommended their Pappardelle Bolognese in place of the lasagna and WOW - I was not disappointed. In fact, I think I would have ordered it instead if I knew how good it was going to be. I should note that even though this restaurant is located in the back corner of a dying outdoor mall, it is my understanding that they can get quite busy and while it wasn't needed for our visit, it'd probably be a good idea to call and make reservations. Atmosphere is very cozy and modern with a cool factor. There is outside dining available as well and on a warm evening, I would imagine that'd be the place to be. Of course, if you enjoy imbibing on fine wines or a bourbon, they do have a full bar with specialty cocktails available as well. And, if there's a final note that I'd like to make, the owner/chef is a Jeeper with a very nice CJ that you might be able to see parked out front. Need I say, I would highly recommend this very fine dining establishment.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND This is my favorite Italian restaurant in the valley. I love authentic food that is genuine to the culture it represents and the chef does a fabulous job of bringing Italian cuisine to Idaho. His scratch kitchen elevates the quality, taste, and experience of legit Italian food. The dishes are not over-sauced and their desserts are not over-sweet. They are light and delicious—just like real Italian food is supposed to be. I had the chicken parmesan and it was superb. Lightly breaded chicken, just the right amount of sauce and pasta. So flavorful and not heavy at all. Their tiramisu is wonderful! I wish I had taken photos to share. Next time. The service is top notch and the ambiance fits the food. The servers make you feel like family in the best sense.

Very first time attending Italianesque and did not disappoint. We were attended and greeted right away, very friendly staff. The food was amazing and felt genuine, considering they make the pasta from scratch. The wait for food is understandable, and much respect to the chef with generous portion sizes and presentation of dishes. Staff was attentive and helpful knowing it was our first time. Atmosphere felt cozy and great italian asthetic. Will definitely come back when given the chance, this is one of our top choices for fine dining without being too formal. Amazing for first dates, family dinners, or a place to catch up with friends. We wish the best for this restaurant and all the staff who made us feel welcomed. All was to the highest standard and was much appreciated 🙏

If I could give a 6, I would. Landon our waiter was very nice and professional. We got great recommendations from him and one of the ladies. The food was phenomenal. We got the ravioli plate and the Cajun plate. Then of course we had todo the bread. So good. The olive oil was very good paired with the bread. We didn’t do any drinks other than an americano coffee with cream and sugar which in itself was fantastic. The environment was also spot on. Very Italian feeling. I’ve been to Italy and this had a great vibe. We will definitely return. Highly recommended
