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 was so good! The octopus was a little salty mixed with the rich risotto and I felt like it needed just a bit more of the grapefruit wedges to compliment the flavors. Both dishes were beautiful!

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 was enough. 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 itself was very thick and tough. This was not the fresh pasta experience I had hoped for. The ravioli bolognese was definitely the best dish at the table. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the ricotta was fresh, and the bolognese was rich in flavor. We also ordered the “ribeye” special, but it wasn’t a ribeye at all. It was a strip. It was flavorful, but not the tender ribeye we thought we were getting. The mushroom risotto that accompanied it, however, was delicious. The most disappointing part for me was the service. Our waitress looked sick, had red, watery eyes, and was coughing continuously as she served us. I truly hope she feels better soon, but I also wished she would have stayed home to heal instead of share the illness with me, my family, and the rest of the restaurant patrons.

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. It melted in your mouth. The risotto was perfect. The desserts were the crowning jewel of the meal. I was blown away and highly recommend this restaurant. I will be returning.

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!

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!

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.

Great food and good service. However, we went there for our 1 year wedding anniversary. We unfortunately got sat at a large booth on the left side of the restaurant next to large groups and loud parties. When we left, we realized the other side was much more quiet and intimate. If you make a date reservation ask to be seated on the quieter side.

Bozeman’s best. I’ve tried 5 different dishes and I would happily eat any one of them for the rest of my life. Damn near religious experience with the ravioli bolognese. If you want to experience food as an art form, this is the place. Well worth the prices. If you disagree, it’s probably because your life has been too good and you have no grasp on reality.
In all seriousness, I’m no food critic. Just a recent college grad, so if you think you know better, you might. However, this was the best food I’ve ever had. Not just the best Italian food. Please do yourself a favor and give it a try. Truly brings meaning to the phrase “food is life”.
