Idaho's most delicious Italian food comes from one of the most unsuspecting towns. I know, because I'm from there, and let's just say the town I'm referring to doesn't have the greatest reputation...

And that town is Pocatello!

Though, they're growing rapidly, so I'm not sure I can even call it a town anymore, but either way they have some of the best Italian food we've ever tried. Keep scrolling for more amazing restaurants, including the Top 12 Highest Rated & Reviewed Italian Restaurants here in the Boise Area 👇

So, where can you find some of this signature Italian food and delicious homemade recipes?

Pocatello's one and only...

They've been rated Pocatello's BEST in Italian Food since 1961, and they promote that they offer free parking, Wi-Fi, buffet-style catering, and delicious, old-fashioned, homemade recipes that you won'r find anywhere else. So, here's the question for us Boise area locals, is it worth the drive?

Just take a look at these mouthwatering photos of their food and let your stomach decide haha! In all seriousness, I think we all want more Buddy's, but making the drive just for that might not happen. So just remember next time you're in the area — this is one of Idaho's "hidden gems" that you don't want to miss.
