a week agoNew city for me. Have been to Pocatello but not to Buddy's Italian Restaurant. It's a pretty old building it seems,but it kinda added to the vibe. Looks like they have been in business for a long time. I very much enjoyed my food. The salad was wonderful,the garlic cheese bread even better,and the tiramisu was delicious. It took me a minute to warm up to the environment,but I finally did. Definitely check this place out if given the opportunity .

a week agoI wouldn't recommend the meatballs or the burger. Both truly are not inventive, finely ground formed and pressed. Says in house, but if that's true it's no better than frozen, The bread was a plus though. The bread was obviously local and tasty. The dessert the Carmelo Sundae was absolutely fabulous. I don't know that I would come all the way from Idaho Falls back to Pocatello for the Sundae, but if I'm in Pocatello I'm going to be thinking about it lol. The service was, at first very bartender like, but she softened up to us out of towners. The person I was with, had a very unique salad that is worth five stars to her. I could see that it was unique, with cheese and seasonings and like a creamy Italian. It looked very good. The coffee was okay. The best part about the whole trip was the dessert. And the waitress' line, when I said to her "you look familiar". She's said to me "is it from your dreams" 🤣 possibly!

a week agoTasty as always! The salad-dressing is strong, so make sure your date eats it too! Sometimes we do takeout instead, it's just as tasty! Great service and food again! July 1st June 14, '24, nice servers, still good food! Google wanted another update... November 25 and these folks are still dishing out great food! Likely my favorite Italian food in Poky!

3 weeks agoI have a SEVERE shellfish allergy. They don’t have a lot on their menu but upon notifying them of my allergy, they made sure I was safe - THAT’S HUGE! There was so much food, if you can finish a full plate, bravo! Our waiter was great too. I love me some good, home style cooked meals with great customer service
