Cucina Florabella

I don’t eat pasta that often and hadn’t had Italian food in years but this place completely won me over. We went for date night and from the moment we arrived I was impressed. The building is absolutely beautiful, contemporary, warm, and inviting with a great atmosphere that set the tone for the evening. We started with their lavender butter and fresh bread which was such a fun and delicious surprise. Subtle, floral, and super creamy. But the real stars were the pasta dishes. My date had the rotini plate and I went with the bucatini. Both were extraordinary. The sauces were incredibly flavorful, layered, balanced, and clearly made with care. You could taste the thought and quality in every bite. If you’re craving Italian that feels fresh, creative, and made with love this spot is absolutely worth checking out.

The food was so good, when I was done with my pasta I got a spoon and ate the sauce like soup. The staff was very kind and welcoming. I will absolutely be back.

Hello, it was my first time here. As I walked in, I was pleased by the look: very clean, open, and lots of light! We were greeted nicely and were there for lunch. The first thing I noticed was that all of us were freezing, which was uncomfortable. As I looked at the menu, there were items that were on the online menu but not on the physical menu. We were coming for pizza at 1 PM and also desserts. I was confused when I ordered a Caesar salad; it was sliced cabbage, not romaine, and quite weird. My cup of soup was less than half full, about four bites, and that was disappointing. We asked if they had dessert, and of all the desserts, they said tiramisu, which is what we opted for to be safe. It was a big bowl of I-have-no-idea, and the top was a huge pile of chocolate cocoa powder. One of my guests, who was paying for everything, only ate half of her dish and was going to ask for a to-go box, but the waiter just grabbed it and threw it out. Being a chef myself and trying to enjoy a meal out at a new place, I was just confused on a few things like my salad and the dessert.

We visited December 2024. The meal experience was top notch!! Our waitress was fabulous! We ordered the short ribs and vodka pasta, both were amazing. Panna cotta for dessert was yummy and I enjoyed my sparkling lemonade - it was very refreshing. The atmosphere is a must see. We are so glad we went here on our last night in Missoula. It was a great way to finish off our trip.

The visual of this restaurant alone makes this a place to see. On top of that, the food is outstanding and offers a unique take on Italian food. The wine bar is amazing, as is the variety of the wines. As great as the ambiance and food is, the service. We never felt rushed, and our server Alcyone made our anniversary dinner such a special night. Alcyone made our visit so special and was so knowledgeable as to the wines available as well as every item on the menu. She is such a treasure, and we cannot thank her enough for her service.

We walked in only to find out that they did reservations. We were lucky when the waiter found out that someone canceled their reservation so the waiters let us come in. Service was great and the waiters did a good job checking up on us and filling our waters. The wait time for our food was around 20-30 minutes. The Rigatoni pasta was decent but was a bit bland especially for the price. The tiramisu was good and not too sweet but looked really sad presentation wise. The atmosphere was amazing and I was shocked as to how nice the building was when I first walked in. The parking lot was full so many people ended up parking on the side of the road or across the street. I’ll definitely come back and when I do, I’ll definitely try something else.

We came here twice: lunch and dinner. Both the times, the food and service were excellent. Their kale soup was hearty with a hint of spice from the sausage. The grilled cheese sandwich was among the best I’ve ever had.

Best food we had while visiting Missoula by far. The Funghi pizza was insanely good, highly recommend! The atmosphere, service, and presentation were all top notch! Our waitress Alcy was truly outstanding, she was so kind and so professional, you couldn’t ask for better! We will be back for sure :)
