RUN, don’t walk! I hosted an event here tonight with a group of people, and the whole process was seamless.
The Brussel sprouts as an appetizer…make time for them. About half of the people got pizza and half got pasta. The pizza dough sold itself. And the cool pizza oven near the kitchen is awesome! Pasta dishes were very fresh tasting and definitely authentic Italian food. Trisha(owner/chef) is very talented! I was the host so didn’t have enough time to eat while dining in, but I got spaghetti to go. See the photo…meatballs were bigger than my fist.
Just trust me and go get food here. Then make room for dessert. GOOEY BROWNIE COOKED IN THE PIZZA OVEN TOPPED WITH ICE CREAM!?! WHATTTTTTT

Lasagna, manascotti(seasonal special), and spaghetti with meatballs were all amazing….A flavor explosion with every bite! Best Italian I have ever had. The lemon bar and carmel brownie were also very excellent!
Our server Scott was phenomenal. Very attentive and had excellent customer service. Nice atmosphere and family friendly. Celebrated a family birthday here and they had a card and birthday sash for them. 100% recommend coming here for special celebrations, date night or just a quiet dinner.

“WOW, OUTSTANDING”
We had a Suprise birthday party for my wife at Malvagios Italian Trattoria. Tricia the owner/chef and Scott the waiter exceeded our expectations. The restaurant, decorations, food, service, and ambiance were outstanding. Everyone in our party was impressed and wants to come back.
Thank you Tricia, for making my wife feel like a Queen. I strongly recommend Malvagios Italian Trattoria.

Don’t let the strip mall fool you. This place is cozy and adorable inside. Scott was amazing. Great customer service and enjoyable to talk to. We tried two appetizers, a couple entrées and the pistachio ice cream. Everything was great!

We had my 30th birthday at Malvagio’s and it was incredible! The food was delicious, the ambiance was perfect, and the owner, Tricia, went above and beyond to ensure we were all taken care of. She made sure that every detail was perfect including the beautiful decor (even the bathrooms are adorable!!!!). This is our go to spot for any and all occasions, from a random week day when we don’t want to cook to numerous birthday parties (kids included – magical unicorn 4th birthday party anyone?! )… Malvagio’s and their staff will make sure that you always feel special and like you are part of the family the second you walk through their door. Can’t wait for our next visit!

Quaint little place with great food and friendly service. Had the pizza, and the crust was soft, chewy, and delicious, with quality toppings. Wings and salads were also very good. She brought us this apple pie dessert baked in the pizza oven with a side of vanilla ice cream, and it was AMAZING. Definitely will go back!

Walking in this place was the best feeling! So warm, welcoming, clean and smelt amazing. I felt like a VIP here. Never had service so good. Then the food comes, I had the lasagna and my friend got the Thai pizza! Best lasagna I’ve ever had! I had a bite of the pizza (i don’t like spicy) but I was told to try the dough! Cooked fire oven perfectly!!! I can’t wait to come back!

My husband and I had Malvagios cater our wedding up in Idaho and it was the best decision of the whole wedding (besides saying I do!!). The whole process of picking out the food, planning food into the timeline, and communicating back and forth about details was not just super easy, but so so enjoyable and exiting! Tricia was such a blessing throughout the whole process. She was so encouraging and supportive and made sure the whole process of planning and serving dinner and dessert amazing!!
The food was also some of the best tasting food I’ve ever had, all our guests were very impressed!! It was a huge blessing to have had Malvagios cater our wedding, we are so grateful!!
