Bella Aquila in Eagle

Very nice...wish it hadn't started raining so we could have sat out by the river. Great service!

One of my favorite restaurants, especially for a romantic lunch. Nice view of the river and a beautiful patio during nice weather with fountains on each side. The food is very good as well. Not super large portions,which is good, but tasty and varied depending on the season.

We didn't have reservations, but the two of us managed an early table on a weekday right at the windows overlooking the outdoor water feature and river. Service was attentive without being in your face. The menu was fairly extensive, supplying a wide range of choices for various diets and tastes. We found our food to be quite good (cioppino and scallops) and reasonable priced. We'll be back when in the area.

We went here for a date night. We made a reservation beforehand, but traffic was INSANE (maybe a wreck?) so we called while stuck in standstill traffic to let the restaurant know we were inevitably going to be late. The hostess assured us that would be fine, they would keep the table and not cancel our reservation (which we totally would have understood). Well, we got there and the hostess at the front asked our names. We mentioned we were late, apologizing again, and she replied with a rude and snarky "You sure are [late]." I was kinda shocked that she was so openly rude to us. That cast a damper on our evening, but the server was very professional and kind, and I would've given this place a 4 star if it weren't for the calamari appetizer. It was like chunky breaded "steak fries", not at all what I was expecting and honestly pretty gross. The soup and salad and pasta dishes we tried were good.

The food was great, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was wonderful. I couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate my birthday.

One of my favorite restaurants and not just because my husband proposed to me here. I just love the romantic ambiance, eating outside along the river, the music, food and service. I always get creme brulee for dessert with a cappuccino. Yum!

I went to this restaurant a year ago and it was fabulous! Went last night and so disappointed. We had to ask for things repeatedly and when food arrived, barely warm. Our waiter would disappear for extended periods of time. I gave two stars because of the wonderful outdoor patio. Based on previous reviews, hopefully they can turn things around.

Very good Italian food. Service was excellent.

Excellent service. Great food. Our party was 17 people and the service and food preparation was perfect.

Wife and I went for a date night. Nice place with outdoor dining right on the river. Tuck in your shirt or don't, mix of t-shirts and button up. Great service and great food. I had paella (special) at an Italian restaurant, but the rice was like risotto. And the fish was awesome, smoked sturgeon, prawns, mussels, clams, andouli sausage. I ordered a mushroom risotto as well because you can't have enough risotto and it was great as well. 5 stars for sure, but the prawns should have been peeled, and a little more salt. We'll be back, hoping this is our new go to. Reasonable prices too.

The customer service is constantly prompt, good vibes, super friendly staff members. I will visit here again when I am in the area.

Expensive and not good quality. $29 for alfredo with 3 shrimp.

Service was friendly and the food was delicious! Make reservations to insure a seat, and you can also request a table location. Our waitress was friendly. It's a slower pace dining experience so don't be in a rush. They have a beautiful patio overlooking the Boise river.

This place provides superb service and delicious meals. One of the best restaurant around here. The drinks and food served rapidly and the prices were affordable. Recommended.

Mallorie did a terrific job serving tonight. The summer halibut was delicious & we were treated with a suprise dessert for our anniversary. Thanks to all. It was a wonderful evening!

Beautiful atmosphere, great location and good service. However, the cuisine was not Italian from the 2 dishes and appetizers ordered. Fettuccini Alfredo and Chicken Piccatta were ok but not close to the dish they were mentioned on the menu. Loved our dessert and wine offering.

Our meal was delicious and the service was top notch. The only reason that I'm giving 4 stars is because we were seated in the front section facing the entrance. The intimate ambience was ruined by two bright lights in the reception area and the hallway. The couple seated next to us asked if those could be dimmed, but unfortunately they could not.

Very delicious and fancy food. Probably the best place to get Italian food here in idaho.

Excellent Food and Service again!The Owner recognized me from my Previous Review and came by to thank me.This is one of Our New Favorite Restaurants, whenever we are in the area.

Very good food. Excellent atmosphere. Close to river. Very nice outside seating.Server was very attentive.$$$ + for prices. Nice for special occasions. Recommend

Delicious, good service, a nice atmosphere. Quite pricey though. The lighting is almost too doin in the winter evenings, and our table had a draft from the door. The river side patio is gorgeous the rest of the year.

The worse red sauce that I ever had! Taste like can sauce!

Truly an exquisite experience. We enjoyed patio seating today by the waterfall. The service is always exceptional and the food fabulous. You can’t go wrong. What a treat we enjoyed over lunch today with our friends. 😊♥️

Amazing as always nice setup with the covid going on everything easy perfect.

I would say it is fine dining atmosphere. Our waiter was a little pompous. And the food was only so so especially for the price.

Nice place to take a date or your partner for some fine food and drinks. I personally like the coconut shrimp.

Bella Aquilla has great ambiance but the service is hit and miss. The appetizers and specialty drinks are always good. The main dishes are usually very good. However, I have experienced really great service and really poor service. Some of the staff seem to do the bare minimum to get by leaving you with the feeling they'd rather be somewhere else. That said, I still go there hoping I get one of the great servers.

The best thing I can say about this establishment is that the patio dining next to the river is second to none in ambiance. However, it is horribly managed. The service was the worst I’ve experienced in the past two years. 20 minutes to see the waiter for the first time, 30 minutes to receive our cocktails, and over an hour wait for our meal. The food wasn’t bad, but the terrible service ruined the evening. A decent manager running this place could turn it around into one of the top restaurants in the valley.

I had the shellfish salad for lunch. It was excellent! The atmosphere is first class. First time visitor - I will definitely go back.

The food here is always excellent as is the service and their wine selection.

Atmosphere decent, food below average, service abysmal.Went here for my sons birthday. Patio had a nice atmosphere, but my steak was riddled with veins, they got 2 of the 6 orders wrong, and their pasta was very average.The worst part of the evening was that our server Andrew would literally disappear for 10-15 minutes at a time. It got so ridiculous, we had to ask other servers to go find him...which did not seem to help as they would also disappear.The kicker came at the end if the evening. The place was hardly even busy, yet it took us like 20 minutes just to get our bill. Apparently as a party of 6, a 20% tip is automatically included. I guess they even took the opportunity to leave a bad tip away from me.I would not waste your time with this place - there are way too many good restaurants out there to spend top dollar on this mismanaged mess of a place.

Quiet so you can talk, great place for a date night. Food was delicious. I had the lamb and my wife had the chicken masala. Large portions and great flavor. The shrimp appetizer and wedge salad were delicious too. If I lived in the area I would be back.

The atmosphere was very romantic, great place to go for an anniversary or any other special occasion. The food had a unique taste, it felt like I was actually eating authentic Italian food. I have gone to other Italia restaurants but it did not have the same taste as the food in Bella Aquila, the pizza appetizer was to die for as well. The service was one of the best I have experienced, very friendly and attentive, if there was a way to give more then 5 stars I would give it to Bella Aquila.

Amazing italian with an impressive wine list. Quiet, a bit tucked away, has been around for years. Prices are very reasonable in comparison to some of the newer California transplant italian restaurants around town. Food is always great. Never had a complaint, been dozens of times over the years. Staff knowledgable and polite. Fellas, wear a collared shirt of some kind... let's keep this place classy.

Great local place for some delicious italian food. Service is always top notch and the place is immaculate. Prices are fair for the quality of the food and we had no issues getting a table.

Visited Idaho twice in the last two years. Each time had a meal at Bella Aquila. Each meal was excellent!.Lovely restaurant. Beautiful outdoor scenery.

We chose Bella Aquila specifically to enjoy a romantic dinner on a beautiful patio on the river. Being Eagle residents, we have the luxury of choosing between many fine restaurants. We had a reservation and arrived on time. We waited 20 minutes before being served our wine/beer. After our order was taken, we waited an additional 45 minutes before being served. We fully understand a busy restaurant and sometimes wait times are longer than normal. The biggest problem was the quality of our meals. My “seafood Bianca” had been sitting out for a long time before being served. The “seafood” was microscopic and the pasta had no sauce. The gnocchi (with added chicken) was plentiful but tasteless and the chicken breast tasted as cardboard-obviously cooked long before and reheated to accompany the gnocchi. Bottom line...don’t waste your precious time and money on this establishment. I might add this is the 4th visit over many years and not an anomaly.

Great Italian food. Good wines, too.

On the advice of my friend, who is a regular, I ordered the cheese tortellini--substituting the Alfredo sauce for pesto and adding a chicken breast.It was magnificent. I also really appreciated their version of the Old Fashioned.

Excellent appetizers and really enjoyed my cocktail. Service was spot on. Enjoyed our time here and hope to go back soon.

We had a big party of 16 people for my dads 60th birthday on the patio everything was amazing from the staff to the delicious food. Everything on the menu was perfect, definitely the best Italian restaurant in the area by far. Exceeded our expectations.

Lovely view, outdoor seating is nice almost any time of year (even in the cold). Overall the food is good. Had a bad experience the first time I ate here but must have just been a bad night. I've eaten here 3 times since and it's been a great experience.

Exceptional food! I ordered seasonal Salmon and it was perfectly prepared with fingerling potatoes, carrots, shallots and olives. My wife had shallot ravioli which was cooked aldente to perfection. Service is almost as good.

Wonderful relaxing atmosphere. Reasonably priced, will definitely go again.

Great patio right next to the Boise river, good food and drinks!!

One of our favorite local places for great dinners and relaxing drinks in the bar. We have always been treated exceptionally well and love the staff here! Particularly recommend lunch or dinner on the patio during warm weather months

Dinner guests were great! Dinner, not so good. I've eaten here before and I was good. This time, was food was inconsistent. 4 guests food was unsatisfactory. I ordered a half rack of lamb...what I got was one rib. In all, I was delighted to spent with with friends, dinner, not to good. Too bad.

We arrived at 12:30 for lunch.We left at 2. And there were 2 others tables there besides us. The waitress kept disappearing for long periods of time, we never got our appetizer we ordered, and the food was very bland and tasteless. I was not impressed.

What a great experience my family and I had at Bella Aquila . The food and the service were both great. I will definitely e back..

My husband, daughter and I had a wonderful dinning experience at Bella Aquila tonight to celebrate her birthday.
