My fiancé and I went here this last weekend for the first time to splurge and have a nice meal. This place definitely met our expectations. The service was great and every seat was filled in the restaurant. They have a nice open format. You can’t see the kitchen, but you can see just about everything else. It feels a little dated inside, but the black curtains on the windows make it feel intimate and not like you’re in a shopping mall/plaza.
First items we got were the margherita pizza and the zucchini fritters. The pizza was ok. The dough was nice and fresh, but it was almost like it was too close between a thin crispy cracker crust and a light fluffy dough. It was light and crispy, but almost firm and chewy.
The zucchini fritters were amazing. 1000% the best thing we had. They came with a whipped ricotta that had herbs mixed in. They weren’t oily at all and still had a delicious crispiness to them that still felt light even though it was fried. They were seasoned extremely well.
For the main course we got two pastas. One was the zozzana that was tomato sauce with guanciale, homemade Italian sausage, pecorino, and Italian peppers. It would probably be on the spicier side for most people, but it was perfect for me. The sauce was creamy, salty, spicy and delicious. The guanciale was cooked well and didn’t become soggy too. Still had a nice crunch around the crispy bits.
My fiancé got the carbonara and it was good, but tasted very buttery in my opinion. She really liked it though. The guanciale was really nice again and served as a perfect component to mix up textures.
For dessert we got a cappuccino, espresso and the tiramisu. Some tiramisus are extremely sweet, but this was perfectly balanced, especially with the coffees. Just don’t inhale when you take a bite or the cocoa powder on top might turn into the old cinnamon challenge. The cocoa powder on top balanced the richness of the whipped cream and sweetness of the rest of the dessert.
We also got a bottle of cab sav that was reasonably priced and complimented our entire meal.
Individual entrees:
Margherita Pizza: 6.5
Zucchini Fritters: 9.5
Carbonara: 7
Zozanna: 8.25
Tiramisu: 8
Food: 8 (rounded up because the wine was good)
Atmosphere: 7.5

We hadn’t been to Vincenzo’s in several years and decided to give it another try last night. With the new ownership, the level of hospitality has truly stepped up.
We ran about 10 minutes late for our reservation, and when I called, they assured me it was no problem — even though there were people waiting for tables when we arrived. I really appreciated that they still honored our reservation and welcomed us warmly.
Our server was attentive, checking in often to make sure everything was just right. The owner, Colton, was engaged with guests, serving, chatting, offering suggestions, and making everyone feel at home. Chef Heidi’s dishes were outstanding. My friend ordered the meatballs (something I usually avoid), but they were absolutely delicious. We also had the fritto misto, zucchini fritters, fettuccine and veal, all fantastic dishes.
The atmosphere is cozy and intimate — perfect for a date night. Between the warm hospitality, excellent food, and inviting setting, Vincenzo’s has become a spot I’ll happily return to.

The restaurant hit on all cylinders… The Clam Pasta and Lamb Shank was as authentic and delusions as anything I’ve ever had! Cheers to the best Italian restaurant in Boise… thank you Colton and Chef Tasha!!

The best Italian food I have found in Boise. Just wonderful! The pasta carbonate is pure heaven. The arancini appetizer will change your life!

I obviously really enjoyed this place. We had diavola pizza, which was a wonderfully done Neapolitan style, not spicy, so I maybe would add some red pepper flakes or something, but no complaints. The pesto pasta with breaded chicken, the pesto was great and there was enough to enhance the chicken with some remaining to be sopped up by the delicious warm bread that was served.
Besides the food, the place is nicely decorated. It is in a strip mall type thing, but I find more and more that is just the way it goes and my odds of success for finding a gem are as good as anywhere.
Ownership changed, and while this place had been on my list for years, I never experienced the previous experience. I can say the new owners seemed great. They are both there (probably everyday?), and have taken some time to introduce their ideas very successfully in my opinion. Highly recommend you try it out.

Walking in felt so warm and homey! The service was friendly and knowledgeable. We didn’t wait too long for anything. The pizza was great as well as the pasta. Would recommend this place 10/10. Go check it out!

Wow! Authentic tasting italian food. Carbonara is amazing! Love the family run restaurant. Their house wine Montepulciano di Abruzzo is delicious. Atmosphere inside nails Italian evening dining. We will be back again and again and again!

We were looking for a good Italian restaurant and Vincenzo Trattoria came highly recommended with great reviews. The ambiance was great and felt very traditional. Our waitress was good but at times it felt awkward. We started off with the calamari. At first sight, it looked amazing, but the breading and sauce were oddly bland and lacked salt and citrus. The carbonara was good, the noodles were cooked Al dente, but the flavor was 6/10 and lacked a wow factor. The chicken cutlets were tiny pieces of pan fried chicken that had a lot of flavor, there was just very little of it. The rigatoni ciciliana looked great, but still just kind of bland again. The tirimasu came out kind of like a blob onto the plate. The flavor was reminiscent of a tirimasu, but lacked a bold flavor. The cannoli came with 2 options. Both options, the filling was out flavored by the flavoring of the pastry. Overall, it was a 6 out of 10 if we had to give it a score just based on the food. The restaurant itself was beautiful and staff seemed very friendly.

What a hidden gem in a strip mall! We had a group of 8 for dinner, and booking via OpenTable was a breeze with plenty of parking outside. The tinted windows give it a mysterious vibe, but stepping inside feels warm and inviting—soft lighting, casual decor, a stunning Italian pizza oven, and a traditional closed door French/Italian kitchen setup. About a dozen tables with classic settings make it cozy without feeling cramped.
We were greeted warmly and seated immediately. Service was spot-on: drinks arrived quickly, along with complimentary flatbread and some killer olive oil. Appetizers like calamari, caprese salad, meatballs, and sausage risotto balls were simple but packed with flavor—well executed and satisfying.
Everyone in our group ordered something different, and every dish was a winner. Highlights included the pork and saffron risotto special (total fire) and the clam spaghetti (perfection). We shared bites, and you could taste the care in every ingredient. Pro tip: Use that flatbread to sop up the sauces—scarpetta style!
Desserts sealed the deal: cannoli’s, tiramisu, and especially the citrus cake—a light, sweet sponge with a zesty frosting that was the perfect refresher. We skipped coffee because we were stuffed, but the whole evening felt like we could have found ourselves in a perfectly renovated hole in the wall off the streets of Italy itself. No watered down Olive Garden type crap here. Locally owned and operated. Highly recommend for groups or dates—great food, vibe, and value!

We tried Vincenzo’s Trattoria for the first time tonight and were sufficiently impressed. We have never experienced better service than what we received tonight. Everyone we came in contact with, over the phone, when we arrived, our waitress and the entire staff as we left the building were so kind and gracious. I would come back again just for the service alone. However, the pasta was top notch. We ordered the spaghetti alla carbonara and the penne zozzana. They were both incredible, especially the penne. We will be back!
