Their focaccia bread is to die for!! Soooo flavorful. I always get it with their oil & herb dip. I’m obsessed!! And then don’t even get me started on their chicken Alfredo…. It’s just the best. The chicken is so flavorful and it’s cooked perfectly. I wish I could just eat here every single day of my life. Best Italian restaurant we have in the state.

Wonderful restaurant that has a very family-owned, family run feeling. The dishes all had unique take on them, which sets them apart from any franchise restaurant! The service was very friendly and attentive giving great suggestions and making us feel welcome. The desserts were a great way to finish!

Reminded me of my Italy trip, the closest thing in town to traditional tasting Italian dishes. Absolutely delicious!
Love how Italianesque supports local businesses.Not the biggest fan of this dish. The sausage seemed to overpower the flavor of the mushrooms. (Advertised as a mushroom pasta) wish there were more mushrooms and a fat pinch of salt, especially for the price

We really wanted to love this place after reading all the positive reviews, but the food quality was very poor.The salad was spring mix lettuce, with one cherry tomato cut in half and 4 thinly sliced pieces of carrot.The ravioli (5 pieces) was served luke warm and didn't appear to have any filling and was topped with a cream sauce, cheese and diced butternut squash. The bread was a very small slice of foccosia, that was just ok. Ordered the frozen chocolate pie for dessert and was very disappointed. We are Italians and this is NOT traditional Italian food. We will not be back and we will not recommend this to others.

Some of the best Italian food in the valley. The ambiance is very romantic and cozy. If you want high quality service this is your place!

This is definitely our new favorite place for Italian cuisine. We've been a few times now, and it's always exceeding our expectations. Love the staff and the environment.
Very quaint and cute. Food was excellent and service was amazing too. They did say they couldn't get us in but my husband showed up and walked in and was sat at a table. Excellent!!!
Wow. Our first time and we are very happy! We went to Luciano’s and had high hopes and were absolutely disappointed. I really didn’t want Italian but our daughter did so we tried this place and I am so glad we did. We got their special which was a mushroom pasta and it was amazing! And we got the last slice of lasagna and I am not a lasagna person but it was so good. We also got the garlic knots with the sides of red sauce and Alfredo and I am legit going to be craving them!! The Alfredo sauce is a little different of a flavor but in a good way. And the red sauce was just as good. The focaccia that came with our meals were so soft and flavorful. The owner served us as we did come later in the day but we also had others checking on us.We got the key lime dessert and we devoured it, including our kids.And speaking of kids. I loved the little dining set up’s and cups they had did for the kids.Everyone was friendly. And yea it was a little chilly but that’s due to the cold weather and the flooring but we just grabbed a jacket and moved on. Some of the other reviews on here complaining about the cups being too small or it being kinda chilly are ridiculous.We will be back; absolutely!

Brought my daughter for her birthday and we absolutely loved it! Everyone was super friendly and everything we ordered was delicious! We will definitely be back!Kid-friendliness: They have cute cups and plates for the kids which was so helpful because I have an 11mos old and she wanted to play with the plate and good thing it was plastic!

Food and service are top notch. Family run establishments are wonderful and they need our support. We will be going back again for sure!
Everything is homemade and it is one of Nampa’s most hidden great restaurants. I have not had one bad thing here.
Great food and cozy atmosphere. We had the ravioli, seafood linguini and the burrata. All very delicious!
