Guidebook for Boise
Food Scene
Black Rock Coffee Bar
1604 Broadway AveThe BEST Italian food you will ever eat. We highly recommend the stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer. Call about an hour ahead and get your name on the wait list as they are always busy. Don't be fooled by the humble outsides of the building, the food is fantastic.
