“ Boise... it doesn't get better than this!! I am a longtime fan and I have never been anything but impressed and delighted every time I am either eating or shopping at A'tavola, enjoying something at a party that has been catered by A'tavola, or on one of their culinary tours! Not to be dramatic, but I went to Tuscany with them in the Fall of 2024 and it was LIFE CHANGING! I truly cannot recommend anything and everything that Lisa Peterson creates enough! ”
“ This was the most picture perfect breakfast I’ve ever had! Basic but everything was cooked to perfection. So many amazing choices on the menu. Wish I wasn’t leaving today. Don’t miss out! ”
“ A’tavola - where have I been. The espresso is acceptable. The food is 110% top notch. I had the Loraine Scramble and my wife had the big breakfast. I can’t wait to try the catering options. Need something last minute? They have huge trays of great tasting food ready go. ”
“ I had the pecan French toast, which was insanely good. It doesn't look like much before it's assembled (it was my first time there so I had no idea) but it is stunning when you get it! The coffee, just the basic black drip, is good. The cookies I brought home were gobbled up immediately. I loved the vibe, the gifts and crazy amount of imported foods are great. I am not going to buy the 200 candle, but I did get a tiny pumpkin for the fall & that made me happy enough with the delicious food! ”

“ This place is a little overstimulating, but only because there is just so many amazing goods and food to look at! The employees were so kind and I loved the breakfast I had. I would love to go back and try some of their ready to bake meals! ”
“ Call me excessive! Call me an emotional eater! Call me to the table Honey! Wow! No wonder so many west coast folks are moving to Boise. A' Tavola Boise is by far the stuff that dreams are made of. I had forgotten what it is like to be inspired when walking into a space that transports one from the everyday to extraordinary. Lisa and Peter, Wow! You have to be proud of this place! The quality of food is excessively GOOD! The staff here has always been inviting and a joy to chat with. This feels like a little piece of Italy in downtown Boise. Also, today we had to sample a few items from the Bakery as well! Who knew that even a cookie could taste that good. Reminded me of something my mom had made for me years ago! You can't go wrong here! Absolutely delicious!! ”
