Reviews for Blacksmith Italian in Bozeman, MT
We had a lovely dinner here at the recommendation of Billie from Yellowstone RoughRiders (who we also highly recommend). It was... a Saturday night and we didn't have a reservation, but they were able to seat us at the counter. We split the Cesar, Brusselssprouts, corn and mushroom agnolotti, and the squid ink linguine. Everything was amazing. Service was also impeccable. The only(very minor) critique would be for the butterscotch budino, which didn't seem to have the expected texture. Still, amazing mealand highly recommend checking it out. Read more
I was disappointed in the service and the food. I really wanted it to be good, so I’ll definitely give it another chance in... hopes that I can give it a better review. We started with bread & butter. The bread, to me, tasted tough and stale. One bite wasenough. I had hoped to order the bone marrow as an appetizer, but they were unfortunately out of it for our 5:30pm reservation.No problem. More room for pasta, right? I ordered the oriecchete rustica. The sauce was nice & flavorful, but the pasta itselfwas very thick and tough. This was not the fresh pasta experience I had hoped for. The ravioli bolognese was definitely the bestdish at the table. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the ricotta was fresh, and the bolognese was rich in flavor. We also orderedthe “ribeye” special, but it wasn’t a ribeye at all. It was a strip. It was flavorful, but not the tender ribeye wethought we were getting. The mushroom risotto that accompanied it, however, was delicious. The most disappointing part for mewas the service. Our waitress looked sick, had red, watery eyes, and was coughing continuously as she served us. I truly hopeshe feels better soon, but I also wished she would have stayed home to heal instead of share the illness with me, my family, andthe rest of the restaurant patrons. Read more
This food! Oh I ate so much! This chicken marsala that I took the picture of is divine! Very tasty. We ordered mussels in wine... sauce for our appetizer and homemade tiramisu! Everyone better eat here! Excellent service by our waitress Taylor! Read more
Unfortunately my food was very bad. Raviolis seemed previously frozen, we’re very cold and generally undercooked. I sent the... plate back after a few bites and was still charged full price. The rest of the food was good, a bit overpriced. Read more
Great experience! Our waiter, Grant, made some great recommendations and was super attentive. The chicken marsala is one of the... best menu items I've ever ordered. I highly recommend Blacksmith Italian! Read more
Food was good, atmosphere was more lively than I expected, pricing was to be expected. We spent about $100 on an appetizer, two... main courses and two drinks. We had the Octopus Risotto and Wild Boar Gnocchi. Would definitely get the Gnocchi again - it wasso good! The octopus was a little salty mixed with the rich risotto and I felt like it needed just a bit more of the grapefruitwedges to compliment the flavors. Both dishes were beautiful! Read more
I grew up Italian in New Jersey and I never could have dreamed of a place like this under Big Sky country. This is the only... place I would even think of getting Italian from in the future. The calamari was cooked just so when so many cook it too long.The octopus just the same, being such a delicate dish I have not had such amazing octopus since my trip to Italy itself. Itmelted in your mouth. The risotto was perfect. The desserts were the crowning jewel of the meal. I was blown away and highlyrecommend this restaurant. I will be returning. Read more
Unique delicious Italian food. Servier was very knowledgeable and able to pair three courses with wine.
