Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

Food was amazing! Wonderful gluten free options and great flavors. Staff very helpful with my many questions regarding gluten free. Martini drinks were a bit spendy for what I got.
(4)Kathi C.
We had dinner. There was a 30 minute wait for dinner at 7pm on a Sunday. The service was prompt and friendly. The food was excellent. Most exciting for me was the number of gluten-free menu items. The items were indicated on the menu and the server & kitchen staff took great care to get my order correct. This is my new favorite restaurant!
(5)Dave K.
Very Popular place - crowded (30-min wait) but probably worth it. We were lucky enough to catch a couple leaving a booth in the bar - we dove for it and got it! The waitress was a very busy young lady, but we were served quickly, with a smile and a laugh, and she checked on us regularly. She got a good tip! Food was very good, and we had spumoni to top it off. The only gripes I have are inconvenient parking, and the heat was sauna-like. I love Tomato Street!
(4)Tawni B.
I've been going here since I was a kid, and it's always been one of my favorites. I love the cheezy paper tablecloths with crayons!!! The garlic bread basket is delicious....so much better than a breadstick from Olive Garden....it has REAL flavor. The pastas are all good of course and the smashed sandwiches are tasty as well. They used to have spumoni ice cream but I didn't see it last time I was there. The pizzas and calzones are pretty good too. Probably one of the best places to eat in Coeur d'Alene. ESPECIALLY for lunch :)
(5)Gary W.
Popular, great food makes up for the service and bring an empty stomach!
(4)Don M.
This place is awesome the service was great and the food is delicious. Our servers name was mick he was very nice. The blackened chicken sandwich is a must try. It is the best sandwich I have had ever.
(5)Kim B.
Kind of cute, not overly impressed but fit the bill while my husband carbo loaded before and after his Ironman triathlon in CDA. Somewhat reminiscent of Romeo's in Austin, for the faux-Italian garden patio effect, with large tomato cans on the wall. We tried cheese pizza one night (decent) and some sandwiches another night. Our servers were fast and friendly both times. Seems like a family-friendly restaurant.
(3)Susan B.
Tomato Street does a good job of bringing new dishes to the menu while keeping the quality of favorites there, too. My drink was excellent and you could actually taste the alcohol in it. The wait staff was moving quickly and quick to provide anything you might request in a somewhat timely manner. I tried the new dish Mancini's Pie which was an indulgent Italian take on Shepard's Pie. Meatballs, bacon, spinach, sun dried tomatoes served on top of Alfredo sauce covered with garlic mashed potatoes. It way too much for me alone but so wonderful I couldn't leave it behind. My companions shared a classic pepperoni and sausage pizza. Let's not forget the yummy tomato basil soup and garlic bread! I am rarely disappointed at this restaurant!
(4)Jimbo R.
Great for what it is - a no frills Italian restaurant. Amazing ragu with lots of depth on their lasagna. The smoked chicken manicotti was good too. Wish we had one near us.
(5)Debbie F.
This was my favorite restaurant for years but in the last six months the food has been slipping. First I told myself they are having an off day but now it has been consistently going downhill. Friday's dinner was greasy and my friends didn't eat their food because they said the meatballs tasted frozen. This makes me sad because you were the best.
(2)Mike H.
It has a nice atmosphere. Food is sub par with a high price. While I watched most of the staff being very friendly and helpful our waiter was slow and forgetful.
(3)Clinton H.
We were seated promptly, and they were very kid friendly. The kids menu is stamped on the butcher paper, which was kind of a neat idea. The kids liked their mac n' cheese, I enjoyed my special which was a spicy meat pasta dish, and my partner thought the seafood manicotti was fantastic. We also had dessert: the tiarmissu (sorry, spelling) was very good, the kids enjoyed their spumoni which came with their meals, and my partner thought his chocolate lush was wonderful. A very good experience for expected prices. Total for all four of us, which includes no drinks (we had water) 2 lunch main courses, 2 desserts, and 2 kids meals was $47, which includes a decent tip.
(4)Diana N.
My husband and I have been eating out a lot since recently moving here. We both love Italian food and looked forward to finding a local one that would be our "Italian night out restaurant." The ambience was great, like that of a New Jersey Italian Diner. We started with calamari which tasted like something that came straight out of the freezer. Next came the soups. The Clam Chowder was better than the below par Minestrone soup. The house salads were average. The entrees we selected were the spaghetti with meat sauce. The spaghetti had a glued together texture and the sauce lacked a good taste. We had such high hopes and were so disappointed. Unfortunately we can not recommend this restaurant and we will not be back again.
(1)Steve V.
All around great experience. Popped in when in town looking for a solid Italian...thanks again Yelp! Even on a packed Friday Prom night we got a quick table in bar area and had a solid 'Olive Garden' style meal (but better). Would recommend for families and groups. GREAT service!
(4)Kevin D.
Ate there last night and it was fabulous! The ambience is fantastic the service was excellent! Joy was our server and she did an outstanding job! We will definitely be back! It is our newest favorite restaurant in CDA!
(5)Jessie S.
Love this place!!! Fantastic garlic bread and marinara, carne bollas, Caesar salad, calamari and Aunt Rose's pasta is to die for! Great atmosphere, cozy, good service!
(5)A L C.
Always a sure bet in my book. The kids totally love it and are welcomed there & the lazoni is to die for, as is the artichoke appetizer.
(5)J. C.
This is a great family restaurtant! Their service is good, food is great, and its a fun place for kids because they can actually write on the tables with crayons, a little chalk to doodle, and other little activities whether play dough or pasta necklaces! Pretty fun place
(4)andrew h.
nice decor, festive atmosphere, nice, friendly staff. garlic bread with pesto sauce was great but probably a vein clogger. the calamari appetizer was good. but the food that required real culinary skills sucked. my eggplant parmigian was fresh out of the freezer. my friend's blackened chicken sandwich was not good either- it was overcooked and burnt (yes its supposed to be blackened but not cooked til it is rock hard and dried out). my other friend's pasta (pasta with blackened chicken) was soaked in oil and flavorless as well. the entrees are nothing great. they look good when they are delivered to your table but are flavorless. it's amazing to me how the chefs in these restaurants throw things together and think the meals are good. so, go there for appetizers or pizza or other finger foods.
(2)Jay M.
this was the only restaurant in idaho to get us seated promptly and get our order right. theresa's service was unparalleled. the food is pretty good too.
(4)Mei-Lu M.
I'm not from this area, so I'd never heard of Tomato Street before (must be a local chain?) and the reviews made me check it out. I can see how this would be a fun place to go with a group of people but the food I had was really mediocre. Literally everything tasted like it was out of the massed produced food section of the grocery store. The soup tasted canned, the pizza crust tasted like cardboard, the garlic bread was really cheap and gross and the calamari tasted straight out of a box. Maybe I ordered all the wrong things but I'm not going back to try again.
(2)Lagarto B.
I was driving from Seattle to Denver, and needed a big meal to get through the next several hours. I wanted quality, no "road food", and this was JUST THE RIGHT spot for it. I've had a lot of Eggplant Parmesan in my years, and never better than here. It seemed a bit pretentious to have the huge banner outside listing "best of 2009", but it was indeed deserved (the rating, not the banner). Since I was solo, and not looking for a romantic dinner that lasts over an hour, I opted for a seat at one of the 4 bar-area tables. My server was top notch, she was so attentive, I was asked before I needed anything, if I needed anything. Refill on bread? no problem. Extra marinara for that awesome side of grilled vegetables? no problem. Beverage refills? even before the glass was empty. I tipped 30% for the best bar service a non-drinker can expect (I drink, just not before driving, especially in the dark, at highway speed, over mountains, with treacherous curves...) For anyone local, or visiting, who wants a special place to go, with romantic seating, great service, and the best Italian dishes available, I'm quite comfortable saying "this is the place". Ambiance - 6 out of 5 Service - 6 out of 5 Food Quality - 5 out of 5 (no sense in exaggerating ;) If it weren't for the fact that it's over 1000 miles from home, I'd be a regular.
(5)Jon Anne D.
I'll go back to this restaurant anytime I'm in Coeur d'Alene. The garlic bread alone is worth the trip. Tomato, basil soup was super. Raspberry poppy salad was yummy and the bread pudding was roll-your-eyes-back-in-your-head good! Service was fast, friendly and attentive. It was a great end to our day.
(4)John V.
A fun little place and the food was pretty good, the service was better than average. A great place to bring the family!
(4)Matt C.
Food is bland. Atmosphere is nice and so are the servers but not worth eating here.
(1)Travis M.
Love this restaurant. I love the garlic bread and their calzones are amazing. I love bringing my family here since its affordable with great food. Its a great atomsphere!!!
(5)Jon A.
Fun family Italian restaurant. The kids love drawing on the tables and making necklaces out of the little bags of pasta, string and clay that they have there for them, which gives Mom and Dad a break. The bread they give out is really good, as well as all the food there. Would recommend it for sure
(5)Rosa I.
So yummy! The calzone with bacon, chicken and Alfredo sauce was FANTASTIC. Really great flavor. The Alfredo fettuccine was lacking flavor, but still good. Definitely good home style cooking. I'll be back.
(4)Richard P.
Great for kids, food was good. Beware of large portions. Felt that food was rushed out, but over all a positive experience. Service was average.
(4)Jen O.
I can't really say anything negative about this place. The service was great, even though the place was pretty full. They had a large selection of pizzas and pastas. Prices were very reasonable and each meal was enough for two. I had pizza while my friend had pasta and we both enjoyed our meals. I would definitely go there again.
(5)Christy R.
Our waitress was in a hurry and didn't know anything! The beer/wine menu on the table didn't have prices. I asked how much the glass of wine was that I wanted. Waitress told me $5 or 6 not sure. Really? It ended up being $7.50. Food was ok not wonderful.
(3)Brian H.
Whats with all the hats the srevers were wearing? Lol. Food was really good. Spaghettishould have had more sauce. Lasagna was really good. DO NOT get it baked. Its just not worth it. We had K.C. for our server. He was very nice.
(3)Maria B.
Its all about the name... I liked this place. The name got me in the door, how great is that name? The food was quite tasty. I did take out - got some ravioli app and a salad. Both were very nice. The service is pleasant, the place was hopping, even at 5 pm in the afternoon. They have a bar area and a restaurant, there were happy hour people and families coming in the door. My food arrived in a timely fashion, and well packaged. I'd come here again, and if its a chain (felt like it might be), I'd visit another one too.
(4)Mika D.
I've heard really good reviews about this place for the past couple of years so I was excited to finally try it. I sadly wasn't impressed one bit. The service wasn't good and the food was average. The best thing about my meal (Eggplant Parmigiana) was the side salad that came with it. The chances of me coming in again are pretty slim.
(2)Joysbugs ..
I really wanted to like this place. However, it was awful. My glass of wine was the best thing about my experience. I ordered a lasagna dinner. The salad was just iceberg lettuce. The garlic bread is ok. The lasagna was worse than frozen store bought. The noodles were soggy and mealy. There was almost no cheese. There was no oven burnt crispy bits at all and it was drowning in marinara sauce. I paid $25 dollars for the awfulness that was this dinner.
(1)Kasey L.
They are more on the expensive side, but worth it! Best lasagna I have ever had. Great happy hour! Yummy cocktails! Their meatball calzone type appetizer things are delicious. Also their lasagna wrapped in pizza dough and baked (think its called Lazoni) is bomb! Definitely go check it out!!
(5)Ken B.
Friendly. Decent food. Lots of energy in the room. Good place to go. I lucked out. I took a cheap hotel room and wanted something in the neighbourhood. This was about two blocks away. It really worked out. The food was good and filling. Decent flavour, good quality. The price was a little higher than I hoped but it was good value. The room is casual, warm, and friendly. This is clearly a joint that locals love. There was a 20 minute line up so I ate at the bar. The employees were young and you could tell morale was high. The bartender who served me was friendly and helpful. The food came out very quickly. I had a baked vegetarian pasta. It came with good garlic breads and a decent green salad. I also had a huckleberry lemonade which was good. Came to 20 bucks before tip. Probably the best dinner I could have had in the neighbourhood.
(4)Lisa M.
Delicious italian food including Gluten free pasta- hooray! This is a Fun, friendly restaurant that's great for kids and large groups. They bring the kids play dough and pasta to make necklaces so that keeps them happy. The service was good and the food was great. I had the gluten free blackened chicken Alfredo which was delish! Oh- and get the huckleberry lemonade. Yum.
(4)Angela I.
My family and I ate here for my sister's graduation. We were satisfied with the service and food but gratuity was added to the bill and we were never informed. Without realizing it, the waitress got a very generous tip on top of the 18% gratuity. After realizing the amount of money spent on service we called the restaurant, not to get the money back, but to mention to them that it would be considerate for the server to inform the party of added gratuity. The manager Terri handled the situation completely wrong and was very inconsiderate to our concern. She was rude, belittling, not helpful and provided horrible customer service. We were frequent flyers but will not be returning to this restaurant because of how poorly the manager handled the situation.
(1)Hope T.
We stopped here on our way through town, I got eggplant Parmesan and my friend had the baked spaghetti, we both enjoyed our dishes and left stuffed.
(5)Todd C.
I had the Penne Pallame and it was fantastic. Excellent cream based sauce and the chicken and peppers where fresh and delicious. My wife had the shrimp pasta, it was bland. She was disappointed. The garlic bread is great and the tomato basil soup was awesome. The service was good. The wine and beer selection is ok. We will be back to try some of the other menu items.
(3)Andrew B.
I went here again this is one of the absolute best places in Couer d'Alene the staff is awesome and the food is excellent very filling and good portions try it!
(5)Kayla S.
Blackened chicken panini is where it's at!!! Love their salads, bread and that sandwich is yum! Fun atmosphere, up beat!
(5)Gina M.
Not very good food. I ordered the chicken dish and it was so dry I couldn't eat it. Just ate pasta. My son loved his butter noodle and staff was great. Just passing through but wouldn't come back
(2)Barbara B.
Right away you notice the wacky hats the help is wearing. At the table there is a paper table cloth with crayons. Even as an adult you can't help but want to color. Garlic Ranch dressing was good. Garlic bread also very tasty. I had the chicken manicotti. I was thankful for a reasonably priced lunch portion. it was very good and filling. I will definitely go back.
(5)Tim H.
The people were nice. the service was great. The food was bland.
(2)sue M.
After being on the road and eating out 2 or 3 times a day we wanted good flavor. Found this place based on Yelp comments and want to add mine. Great variety of food and excellent flavors. Garlic bread is super tasty and not swimming in butter. Pasta sauces are the homemade baked type - not out of a can or bottle! Even the calamari rings were fresh and tender with a variety of great and flavorful dipping sauces. I'd eat here again!
(5)Debbie W.
What a fun place! Friendly staff that wear crazy hats, rubber stamp little bambino's menu on paper table cloth, crayons for the kids to draw on paper with, play dough for kids. Best garlic bread ever. Food was great. You don't go away hungry. Fast service. Very kid friendly. Bibs are available for all ages, just ask, I did.
(4)Matthew W.
I love Tomato Street, have been eating here since they opened, back when they were still called Tomato Brothers. Great food, great appetizers, wonderful desserts. The service is always great and everyone who works there is always very friendly. My personal favorite is the Penne Pallame followed by the Chocolate Lush, which I was very excited to see return to the menu after its absence of a few years. The only reason they get 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the rising prices. I understand that the cost of everything has risen over the last several years, but their price increases have easily outstripped anywhere else I regularly eat at. Still, the food is very good, I'm just sad I can't afford to go there as often as I used to. An addendum: They are a terrific place to get an order to-go from. They do an awesome job bagging up your food, I've never had a mistake in a to-go order, and the manager has sometimes called the next day just to verify that the order was correct and that everything was good. Can't beat that kind of customer service.
(4)Angie L.
Excellent food, had the twice baked spaghetti and strawberry lemonade. Our server Jake was personable without being intrusive. The salad was fresh, the dressing (garlic ranch) was wonderful, and the food came out fast. This will certainly make my regular restaurant rotation!
(4)Darian D.
The Tomato Street in Coeur D'Alene is IMO just as great as the Tomato Street in Spokane yet it doesn't seem to be as popular as the Spokane location yet the quality of their food and service is in the same league, I definitely prefer Tomato Street to Olive Garden any day, I think you get more food for your money at Tomato Street.
(5)Scott S.
The pepperoni and sausage calzone was outstanding. It's basically an 11" pizza folded over and stuffed with the freshest ingredients. The crust tasted like a real hand tossed pizza crust - the kind you used to be able to get in a pizzeria, before the big chains took over. Their free bread also tastes great.
(5)Marie D.
For a large group of 25 and during rush hour, they did extremely well and even let us pay for separate checks! Their portions are large with real cheese so if you want a smaller portion, you can request for the lunch portion and it's cheaper too. The garlic bread is amazing and so is their garlic ranch dressing for their salad!
(4)Max G.
The food is overpriced for the quality and experience. The pasta was mediocre. I would recommend finding a better place that is cheaper. I had the blackened chicken and it tasted like it had been sitting out for at least 15 minutes before I got it and it came out about 10 minutes after ordering. There is a point at which service is too fast...
(3)Ryan D.
Changed the menu and made the portions half the size but same price. When ordered chicken was completely raw. Manager never apologized for issue and did not fix issue. Never going back.
(1)Renee Q.
We loved this place. I loved the ambiance and decor. The large menu. The staff were excellent. Our food was divine(portions were huge) and the creme brulee and bread were to die for. I wish we had one near us. Can't recommend this place enough.
(5)Psudonyme I.
Well they raised their prices again, AND YOU HAVE TO NOW PAY EXTRA FOR A SALAD. It is too bad that we can no longer go this establishment. I QUIT!!! ...I wrote this out on my phone 6-12 months ago. I forgot to get to the PC and post it.
(1)Ruth C.
I stopped in Tomato Street while passing through town on my way to Spokane. The food was excellent and I was pleasantly surprised. When I left, I accidentally forgot my credit card. I didn't realize it, until I got to Spokane and I had a flight to catch. When I called the establishment, they graciously offered to mail it back to me. I was doubtful if my credit card would ever make it - but they were true to their word, and it arrived a few days later in the mail. THANKS for being so honest and trustworthy Tomato Street!!! It is really great with all the negative things you read in the newspapers and see on the news to find someone willing to help a stranger out and make their day. Your food was excellent, but your service was AWESOME.
(5)Cameron G.
I've been here many times over my lifespan, for various occasions, and have never been dissatisfied. Great food and an amazing environment. Best Italian in CDA.
(4)Erin S.
Tomato Basil Soup.....check. Garlic bread, with lots of garlic that will give you bad breath for days....check. I can't think of a time that I've ever been disappointed coming here. This past time we enjoyed a soup and a tasty appetizer. The appetizer was basically a mini calzone that consisted a spicy meatball that was surrounded by mozzarella cheese, so good! I usually get the Penne Pallame, it's my personal favorite. IA dish with an excellent balance of bacon, chicken, green pepper that are then topped off with fresh roma tomatoes on a bed of penne alfredo. Also, if you actually have room for dessert, my friend and I highly recommend the bread pudding, the best in town!!! So, if you're hungry for large, tasty portions of pasta, then this is the place for you.
(4)Marc M.
Crowd-pleaser -- good food, great for kids, huge portions.
(4)Jennifer C.
We were in Coeur d'Alene briefly over Labor Day weekend and stayed at the Shilo Inn on Appleway. Our dining options within walking distance were pretty limited, but Tomato Street seemed like a reasonable choice. Ultimately, it was pretty so-so. We arrived during happy hour so it was nice to be able to take advantage of the reduced drink prices. I was pleased to see the browned butter & myzithra cheese pasta option but it really didn't live up to my expectations. (OK, I was expecting something along the lines of Old Spaghetti Factory and it wasn't as good as that...to put things into perspective...) My pasta was swimming in a pool of melted butter, totally disjointed from the cheese. Serviceable starter salad and good herb bread, though, and our server was friendly. I was glad we'd chosen sit in the bar as there seemed to be a fair amount of craziness (hooting and hollering) by some of the staff working in the dining area.
(2)Radashack R.
Overall good experience. I would go here again. Pros: Good tasting food Very friendly service Fun table cloth drawing and pasta necklace making for the kids Fun atmosphere Delicious garlic bread comes complimentary Cons: Small portions for the price (my spinach salad seemed rather small for $10) the kids pizza seemed kind of small and meager for the price Decor is kind of gaudy and dated
(4)Tim S.
A few friends got together for dinner last Friday night. there was a total of eight of us and we all had separate tickets.we paid our bill and left a hefty tip also. Come to find out they had already added a gratuity on to our bill so we all gave them a tip on top of the tip they added in. This is a bullshit business practice. We had no idea we were being taken advantage of like that. I highly recommend that no one goes to this restaurant.
(1)LaNae P.
We just moved up here from Arizona, and this quickly became our new favorite place to go! The fun atmosphere Is a great balance of grown up food and kid friendly touches without feeling like you are at Chucky Cheese! The food is amazing!! The seafood manicotti is a personal favorite while my husband is a big fan of their sandwiches.
(5)Michael And Deborah R.
Good news, bad news, great news. My partner and I came here a little later in the evening looking for a not too expensive but good restaurant in the area while visiting family. We ordered a bottle of wine, I ordered a calzone and he ordered seafood manicotti. Our waiter was personable and attentive. My calzone arrived and it was hot, but not burn the roof of your mouth hot. His seafood manicotti arrived and he took one bite and said, no, no, no. As we eat out frequently, we made a promise to one another that we would NOT accept inferior product. You know, when your wait staff comes around and says "how is everything" and you quietly nod and say "fine", well, we decided that we both work too hard for our $$$$ to accept less than quality service/food. Therefore, when his manicotti arrived, he took one bite and the inside was not only not hot, but cold, almost frozen. He believed that the item was taken from the freezer and "nuked". The pasta kind of rubbery and the filling still almost frozen. We told our waiter who then summoned a manager. We told the manager of our concerns. We expected that they would return it and take it from the bill, which in fact they did. My calzone was there and it was so big that by the time the management talked with you we were now rather full from the calzone. We let the manager know that even the calzone was not as hot as it should be. Long story short, not only did the management remove the less than perfect dish of the seafood manicotti from out tab BUT, and this is a huge BUT to their credit, they gave us a $20 gift certificate to use at another time!! Now, if this isn't customer service, I don't know what is. As we live on the opposite side of the country, East Coast, it is doubtful we can use the gift certificate, but the point is that here is an eating establishment that truly honors their guests. I say, to all other eateries, take a lesson from Tomato Street. Customer Friendly. If ever you are in the Coeur D'Alene Area, you must, must, must give this place a try. I think we may have just hit them on a "bad hair day", as we all have, but they bent over backwards to accomodate us and I can not say enough about that business practice. Thank you. kudos 11

Since the spaghetti factory is all the way deep into Spokane,(and concord), this place is very very good..... It's been a while, but I can't wait to get a craving again for it.....
(5)Amy W.
Food was amazing! Wonderful gluten free options and great flavors. Staff very helpful with my many questions regarding gluten free. Martini drinks were a bit spendy for what I got.

I'm not from this area, so I'd never heard of Tomato Street before (must be a local chain?) and the reviews made me check it out.

For anyone local, or visiting, who wants a special place to go, with romantic seating, great service, and the best Italian dishes available, I'm quite comfortable saying "this is the place". Ambiance - 6 out of 5 Service - 6 out of 5 Food Quality - 5 out of 5 (no sense in exaggerating ;) If it weren't for the fact that it's over 1000 miles from home, I'd be a regular.

I'll go back to this restaurant anytime I'm in Coeur d'Alene. The garlic bread alone is worth the trip. Tomato, basil soup was super.

Love this restaurant. I love the garlic bread and their calzones are amazing. I love bringing my family here since its affordable with great food. Its a great atomsphere!!!
(5)Debbie F.
This was my favorite restaurant for years but in the last six months the food has been slipping. First I told myself they are having an off day but now it has been consistently going downhill. Friday's dinner was greasy and my friends didn't eat their food because they said the meatballs tasted frozen. This makes me sad because you were the best.
(2)Mike H.
It has a nice atmosphere. Food is sub par with a high price. While I watched most of the staff being very friendly and helpful our waiter was slow and forgetful.
(3)Clinton H.
We were seated promptly, and they were very kid friendly. The kids menu is stamped on the butcher paper, which was kind of a neat idea. The kids liked their mac n' cheese, I enjoyed my special which was a spicy meat pasta dish, and my partner thought the seafood manicotti was fantastic. We also had dessert: the tiarmissu (sorry, spelling) was very good, the kids enjoyed their spumoni which came with their meals, and my partner thought his chocolate lush was wonderful. A very good experience for expected prices. Total for all four of us, which includes no drinks (we had water) 2 lunch main courses, 2 desserts, and 2 kids meals was $47, which includes a decent tip.

My husband and I have been eating out a lot since recently moving here. We both love Italian food and looked forward to finding a local one that would be our "Italian night out restaurant." The ambience was great, like that of a New Jersey Italian Diner. We started with calamari which tasted like something that came straight out of the freezer. Next came the soups. The Clam Chowder was better than the below par Minestrone soup. The house salads were average. The entrees we selected were the spaghetti with meat sauce. The spaghetti had a glued together texture and the sauce lacked a good taste. We had such high hopes and were so disappointed. Unfortunately we can not recommend this restaurant and we will not be back again.
(1)Steve V.
All around great experience. Popped in when in town looking for a solid Italian...thanks again Yelp! Even on a packed Friday Prom night we got a quick table in bar area and had a solid 'Olive Garden' style meal (but better). Would recommend for families and groups. GREAT service!
(4)Kevin D.
Ate there last night and it was fabulous! The ambience is fantastic the service was excellent! Joy was our server and she did an outstanding job! We will definitely be back! It is our newest favorite restaurant in CDA!
(5)Jessie S.
Love this place!!! Fantastic garlic bread and marinara, carne bollas, Caesar salad, calamari and Aunt Rose's pasta is to die for! Great atmosphere, cozy, good service!
(5)A L C.
Always a sure bet in my book. The kids totally love it and are welcomed there & the lazoni is to die for, as is the artichoke appetizer.
(5)Kathi C.
We had dinner. There was a 30 minute wait for dinner at 7pm on a Sunday. The service was prompt and friendly. The food was excellent. Most exciting for me was the number of gluten-free menu items. The items were indicated on the menu and the server & kitchen staff took great care to get my order correct. This is my new favorite restaurant!
(5)Dave K.
Very Popular place - crowded (30-min wait) but probably worth it. We were lucky enough to catch a couple leaving a booth in the bar - we dove for it and got it! The waitress was a very busy young lady, but we were served quickly, with a smile and a laugh, and she checked on us regularly. She got a good tip! Food was very good, and we had spumoni to top it off. The only gripes I have are inconvenient parking, and the heat was sauna-like. I love Tomato Street!
(4)Tawni B.
I've been going here since I was a kid, and it's always been one of my favorites. I love the cheezy paper tablecloths with crayons!!! The garlic bread basket is delicious....so much better than a breadstick from Olive Garden....it has REAL flavor. The pastas are all good of course and the smashed sandwiches are tasty as well. They used to have spumoni ice cream but I didn't see it last time I was there. The pizzas and calzones are pretty good too. Probably one of the best places to eat in Coeur d'Alene. ESPECIALLY for lunch :)
(5)Gary W.
Popular, great food makes up for the service and bring an empty stomach!
(4)Don M.
This place is awesome the service was great and the food is delicious. Our servers name was mick he was very nice. The blackened chicken sandwich is a must try. It is the best sandwich I have had ever.
(5)Kim B.
Kind of cute, not overly impressed but fit the bill while my husband carbo loaded before and after his Ironman triathlon in CDA. Somewhat reminiscent of Romeo's in Austin, for the faux-Italian garden patio effect, with large tomato cans on the wall. We tried cheese pizza one night (decent) and some sandwiches another night. Our servers were fast and friendly both times. Seems like a family-friendly restaurant.
(3)Susan B.
Tomato Street does a good job of bringing new dishes to the menu while keeping the quality of favorites there, too. My drink was excellent and you could actually taste the alcohol in it. The wait staff was moving quickly and quick to provide anything you might request in a somewhat timely manner. I tried the new dish Mancini's Pie which was an indulgent Italian take on Shepard's Pie. Meatballs, bacon, spinach, sun dried tomatoes served on top of Alfredo sauce covered with garlic mashed potatoes. It way too much for me alone but so wonderful I couldn't leave it behind. My companions shared a classic pepperoni and sausage pizza. Let's not forget the yummy tomato basil soup and garlic bread! I am rarely disappointed at this restaurant!
(4)Jimbo R.
Great for what it is - a no frills Italian restaurant. Amazing ragu with lots of depth on their lasagna. The smoked chicken manicotti was good too. Wish we had one near us.
(5)J. C.
This is a great family restaurtant! Their service is good, food is great, and its a fun place for kids because they can actually write on the tables with crayons, a little chalk to doodle, and other little activities whether play dough or pasta necklaces! Pretty fun place
(4)andrew h.
nice decor, festive atmosphere, nice, friendly staff. garlic bread with pesto sauce was great but probably a vein clogger. the calamari appetizer was good. but the food that required real culinary skills sucked. my eggplant parmigian was fresh out of the freezer. my friend's blackened chicken sandwich was not good either- it was overcooked and burnt (yes its supposed to be blackened but not cooked til it is rock hard and dried out). my other friend's pasta (pasta with blackened chicken) was soaked in oil and flavorless as well. the entrees are nothing great. they look good when they are delivered to your table but are flavorless. it's amazing to me how the chefs in these restaurants throw things together and think the meals are good. so, go there for appetizers or pizza or other finger foods.
(2)Jay M.
this was the only restaurant in idaho to get us seated promptly and get our order right. theresa's service was unparalleled. the food is pretty good too.
(4)Lynn Y.
I'm here from the East Coast visiting my dad in the hospital and Jerome brings me to this wonderful, friendly atmosphere to fuel up for the difficult weekend ahead. Brendon in the lounge was helpful, attentive and just awesome! Great food and generous portions. Eat here!

I was driving from Seattle to Denver, and needed a big meal to get through the next several hours. I wanted quality, no "road food", and this was JUST THE RIGHT spot for it. I've had a lot of Eggplant Parmesan in my years, and never better than here. It seemed a bit pretentious to have the huge banner outside listing "best of 2009", but it was indeed deserved (the rating, not the banner). Since I was solo, and not looking for a romantic dinner that lasts over an hour, I opted for a seat at one of the 4 bar-area tables. My server was top notch, she was so attentive, I was asked before I needed anything, if I needed anything. Refill on bread? no problem. Extra marinara for that awesome side of grilled vegetables? no problem. Beverage refills? even before the glass was empty. I tipped 30% for the best bar service a non-drinker can expect (I drink, just not before driving, especially in the dark, at highway speed, over mountains, with treacherous curves...) For anyone local, or visiting, who wants a special place to go, with romantic seating, great service, and the best Italian dishes available, I'm quite comfortable saying "this is the place". Ambiance - 6 out of 5 Service - 6 out of 5 Food Quality - 5 out of 5 (no sense in exaggerating ;) If it weren't for the fact that it's over 1000 miles from home, I'd be a regular.
(5)Jon Anne D.
I'll go back to this restaurant anytime I'm in Coeur d'Alene. The garlic bread alone is worth the trip. Tomato, basil soup was super. Raspberry poppy salad was yummy and the bread pudding was roll-your-eyes-back-in-your-head good! Service was fast, friendly and attentive. It was a great end to our day.
(4)John V.
A fun little place and the food was pretty good, the service was better than average. A great place to bring the family!
(4)LaNae P.
We just moved up here from Arizona, and this quickly became our new favorite place to go! The fun atmosphere Is a great balance of grown up food and kid friendly touches without feeling like you are at Chucky Cheese! The food is amazing!! The seafood manicotti is a personal favorite while my husband is a big fan of their sandwiches.
(5)Matt C.

Fun family Italian restaurant. The kids love drawing on the tables and making necklaces out of the little bags of pasta, string and clay that they have there for them, which gives Mom and Dad a break. The bread they give out is really good, as well as all the food there. Would recommend it for sure
(5)Rosa I.
So yummy! The calzone with bacon, chicken and Alfredo sauce was FANTASTIC. Really great flavor. The Alfredo fettuccine was lacking flavor, but still good. Definitely good home style cooking. I'll be back.
(4)Richard P.
Great for kids, food was good. Beware of large portions. Felt that food was rushed out, but over all a positive experience. Service was average.
(4)Jen O.
I can't really say anything negative about this place. The service was great, even though the place was pretty full. They had a large selection of pizzas and pastas. Prices were very reasonable and each meal was enough for two. I had pizza while my friend had pasta and we both enjoyed our meals. I would definitely go there again.
(5)Christy R.
Our waitress was in a hurry and didn't know anything! The beer/wine menu on the table didn't have prices. I asked how much the glass of wine was that I wanted. Waitress told me $5 or 6 not sure. Really? It ended up being $7.50. Food was ok not wonderful.
(3)Brian H.
Whats with all the hats the srevers were wearing? Lol. Food was really good. Spaghettishould have had more sauce. Lasagna was really good. DO NOT get it baked. Its just not worth it. We had K.C. for our server. He was very nice.
(3)Maria B.
Its all about the name... I liked this place. The name got me in the door, how great is that name? The food was quite tasty. I did take out - got some ravioli app and a salad. Both were very nice. The service is pleasant, the place was hopping, even at 5 pm in the afternoon. They have a bar area and a restaurant, there were happy hour people and families coming in the door. My food arrived in a timely fashion, and well packaged. I'd come here again, and if its a chain (felt like it might be), I'd visit another one too.
(4)Mika D.
I've heard really good reviews about this place for the past couple of years so I was excited to finally try it. I sadly wasn't impressed one bit. The service wasn't good and the food was average. The best thing about my meal (Eggplant Parmigiana) was the side salad that came with it. The chances of me coming in again are pretty slim.
(2)Joysbugs ..
I really wanted to like this place. However, it was awful. My glass of wine was the best thing about my experience. I ordered a lasagna dinner. The salad was just iceberg lettuce. The garlic bread is ok. The lasagna was worse than frozen store bought. The noodles were soggy and mealy. There was almost no cheese. There was no oven burnt crispy bits at all and it was drowning in marinara sauce. I paid $25 dollars for the awfulness that was this dinner.
(1)Ken B.
Friendly. Decent food. Lots of energy in the room. Good place to go. I lucked out. I took a cheap hotel room and wanted something in the neighbourhood. This was about two blocks away. It really worked out. The food was good and filling. Decent flavour, good quality. The price was a little higher than I hoped but it was good value. The room is casual, warm, and friendly. This is clearly a joint that locals love. There was a 20 minute line up so I ate at the bar. The employees were young and you could tell morale was high. The bartender who served me was friendly and helpful. The food came out very quickly. I had a baked vegetarian pasta. It came with good garlic breads and a decent green salad. I also had a huckleberry lemonade which was good. Came to 20 bucks before tip. Probably the best dinner I could have had in the neighbourhood.
(4)Lisa M.
Delicious italian food including Gluten free pasta- hooray! This is a Fun, friendly restaurant that's great for kids and large groups. They bring the kids play dough and pasta to make necklaces so that keeps them happy. The service was good and the food was great. I had the gluten free blackened chicken Alfredo which was delish! Oh- and get the huckleberry lemonade. Yum.
(4)Angela I.
My family and I ate here for my sister's graduation. We were satisfied with the service and food but gratuity was added to the bill and we were never informed. Without realizing it, the waitress got a very generous tip on top of the 18% gratuity. After realizing the amount of money spent on service we called the restaurant, not to get the money back, but to mention to them that it would be considerate for the server to inform the party of added gratuity. The manager Terri handled the situation completely wrong and was very inconsiderate to our concern. She was rude, belittling, not helpful and provided horrible customer service. We were frequent flyers but will not be returning to this restaurant because of how poorly the manager handled the situation.
(1)Hope T.
We stopped here on our way through town, I got eggplant Parmesan and my friend had the baked spaghetti, we both enjoyed our dishes and left stuffed.
(5)Todd C.
I had the Penne Pallame and it was fantastic. Excellent cream based sauce and the chicken and peppers where fresh and delicious. My wife had the shrimp pasta, it was bland. She was disappointed. The garlic bread is great and the tomato basil soup was awesome. The service was good. The wine and beer selection is ok. We will be back to try some of the other menu items.
(3)Andrew B.
I went here again this is one of the absolute best places in Couer d'Alene the staff is awesome and the food is excellent very filling and good portions try it!
(5)Kayla S.
Blackened chicken panini is where it's at!!! Love their salads, bread and that sandwich is yum! Fun atmosphere, up beat!
(5)Gina M.
Not very good food. I ordered the chicken dish and it was so dry I couldn't eat it. Just ate pasta. My son loved his butter noodle and staff was great. Just passing through but wouldn't come back
(2)Kasey L.
They are more on the expensive side, but worth it! Best lasagna I have ever had. Great happy hour! Yummy cocktails! Their meatball calzone type appetizer things are delicious. Also their lasagna wrapped in pizza dough and baked (think its called Lazoni) is bomb! Definitely go check it out!!
(5)Barbara B.
Right away you notice the wacky hats the help is wearing. At the table there is a paper table cloth with crayons. Even as an adult you can't help but want to color. Garlic Ranch dressing was good. Garlic bread also very tasty. I had the chicken manicotti. I was thankful for a reasonably priced lunch portion. it was very good and filling. I will definitely go back.
(5)sue M.
After being on the road and eating out 2 or 3 times a day we wanted good flavor. Found this place based on Yelp comments and want to add mine. Great variety of food and excellent flavors. Garlic bread is super tasty and not swimming in butter. Pasta sauces are the homemade baked type - not out of a can or bottle! Even the calamari rings were fresh and tender with a variety of great and flavorful dipping sauces. I'd eat here again!
(5)Debbie W.
What a fun place! Friendly staff that wear crazy hats, rubber stamp little bambino's menu on paper table cloth, crayons for the kids to draw on paper with, play dough for kids. Best garlic bread ever. Food was great. You don't go away hungry. Fast service. Very kid friendly. Bibs are available for all ages, just ask, I did.
(4)Matthew W.
I love Tomato Street, have been eating here since they opened, back when they were still called Tomato Brothers. Great food, great appetizers, wonderful desserts. The service is always great and everyone who works there is always very friendly. My personal favorite is the Penne Pallame followed by the Chocolate Lush, which I was very excited to see return to the menu after its absence of a few years. The only reason they get 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the rising prices. I understand that the cost of everything has risen over the last several years, but their price increases have easily outstripped anywhere else I regularly eat at. Still, the food is very good, I'm just sad I can't afford to go there as often as I used to. An addendum: They are a terrific place to get an order to-go from. They do an awesome job bagging up your food, I've never had a mistake in a to-go order, and the manager has sometimes called the next day just to verify that the order was correct and that everything was good. Can't beat that kind of customer service.
(4)Angie L.
Excellent food, had the twice baked spaghetti and strawberry lemonade. Our server Jake was personable without being intrusive. The salad was fresh, the dressing (garlic ranch) was wonderful, and the food came out fast. This will certainly make my regular restaurant rotation!
(4)Darian D.
The Tomato Street in Coeur D'Alene is IMO just as great as the Tomato Street in Spokane yet it doesn't seem to be as popular as the Spokane location yet the quality of their food and service is in the same league, I definitely prefer Tomato Street to Olive Garden any day, I think you get more food for your money at Tomato Street.
(5)Scott S.
The pepperoni and sausage calzone was outstanding. It's basically an 11" pizza folded over and stuffed with the freshest ingredients. The crust tasted like a real hand tossed pizza crust - the kind you used to be able to get in a pizzeria, before the big chains took over. Their free bread also tastes great.
(5)Marie D.
For a large group of 25 and during rush hour, they did extremely well and even let us pay for separate checks! Their portions are large with real cheese so if you want a smaller portion, you can request for the lunch portion and it's cheaper too. The garlic bread is amazing and so is their garlic ranch dressing for their salad!
(4)Max G.
The food is overpriced for the quality and experience. The pasta was mediocre. I would recommend finding a better place that is cheaper. I had the blackened chicken and it tasted like it had been sitting out for at least 15 minutes before I got it and it came out about 10 minutes after ordering. There is a point at which service is too fast...
(3)Ryan D.
Changed the menu and made the portions half the size but same price. When ordered chicken was completely raw. Manager never apologized for issue and did not fix issue. Never going back.
(1)Renee Q.
We loved this place. I loved the ambiance and decor. The large menu. The staff were excellent. Our food was divine(portions were huge) and the creme brulee and bread were to die for. I wish we had one near us. Can't recommend this place enough.
(5)Psudonyme I.
Well they raised their prices again, AND YOU HAVE TO NOW PAY EXTRA FOR A SALAD. It is too bad that we can no longer go this establishment. I QUIT!!! ...I wrote this out on my phone 6-12 months ago. I forgot to get to the PC and post it.
(1)Ruth C.
I stopped in Tomato Street while passing through town on my way to Spokane. The food was excellent and I was pleasantly surprised. When I left, I accidentally forgot my credit card. I didn't realize it, until I got to Spokane and I had a flight to catch. When I called the establishment, they graciously offered to mail it back to me. I was doubtful if my credit card would ever make it - but they were true to their word, and it arrived a few days later in the mail. THANKS for being so honest and trustworthy Tomato Street!!! It is really great with all the negative things you read in the newspapers and see on the news to find someone willing to help a stranger out and make their day. Your food was excellent, but your service was AWESOME.
(5)Cameron G.
I've been here many times over my lifespan, for various occasions, and have never been dissatisfied. Great food and an amazing environment. Best Italian in CDA.
(4)Erin S.
Tomato Basil Soup.....check. Garlic bread, with lots of garlic that will give you bad breath for days....check. I can't think of a time that I've ever been disappointed coming here. This past time we enjoyed a soup and a tasty appetizer. The appetizer was basically a mini calzone that consisted a spicy meatball that was surrounded by mozzarella cheese, so good! I usually get the Penne Pallame, it's my personal favorite. IA dish with an excellent balance of bacon, chicken, green pepper that are then topped off with fresh roma tomatoes on a bed of penne alfredo. Also, if you actually have room for dessert, my friend and I highly recommend the bread pudding, the best in town!!! So, if you're hungry for large, tasty portions of pasta, then this is the place for you.
(4)Marc M.
Crowd-pleaser -- good food, great for kids, huge portions.
(4)Jennifer C.
We were in Coeur d'Alene briefly over Labor Day weekend and stayed at the Shilo Inn on Appleway. Our dining options within walking distance were pretty limited, but Tomato Street seemed like a reasonable choice. Ultimately, it was pretty so-so. We arrived during happy hour so it was nice to be able to take advantage of the reduced drink prices. I was pleased to see the browned butter & myzithra cheese pasta option but it really didn't live up to my expectations. (OK, I was expecting something along the lines of Old Spaghetti Factory and it wasn't as good as that...to put things into perspective...) My pasta was swimming in a pool of melted butter, totally disjointed from the cheese. Serviceable starter salad and good herb bread, though, and our server was friendly. I was glad we'd chosen sit in the bar as there seemed to be a fair amount of craziness (hooting and hollering) by some of the staff working in the dining area.
(2)Radashack R.
Overall good experience. I would go here again. Pros: Good tasting food Very friendly service Fun table cloth drawing and pasta necklace making for the kids Fun atmosphere Delicious garlic bread comes complimentary Cons: Small portions for the price (my spinach salad seemed rather small for $10) the kids pizza seemed kind of small and meager for the price Decor is kind of gaudy and dated
(4)Tim S.
A few friends got together for dinner last Friday night. there was a total of eight of us and we all had separate tickets.we paid our bill and left a hefty tip also. Come to find out they had already added a gratuity on to our bill so we all gave them a tip on top of the tip they added in. This is a bullshit business practice. We had no idea we were being taken advantage of like that. I highly recommend that no one goes to this restaurant.
(1)Michael And Deborah R.
Good news, bad news, great news. My partner and I came here a little later in the evening looking for a not too expensive but good restaurant in the area while visiting family. We ordered a bottle of wine, I ordered a calzone and he ordered seafood manicotti. Our waiter was personable and attentive. My calzone arrived and it was hot, but not burn the roof of your mouth hot. His seafood manicotti arrived and he took one bite and said, no, no, no. As we eat out frequently, we made a promise to one another that we would NOT accept inferior product. You know, when your wait staff comes around and says "how is everything" and you quietly nod and say "fine", well, we decided that we both work too hard for our $$$$ to accept less than quality service/food. Therefore, when his manicotti arrived, he took one bite and the inside was not only not hot, but cold, almost frozen. He believed that the item was taken from the freezer and "nuked". The pasta kind of rubbery and the filling still almost frozen. We told our waiter who then summoned a manager. We told the manager of our concerns. We expected that they would return it and take it from the bill, which in fact they did. My calzone was there and it was so big that by the time the management talked with you we were now rather full from the calzone. We let the manager know that even the calzone was not as hot as it should be. Long story short, not only did the management remove the less than perfect dish of the seafood manicotti from out tab BUT, and this is a huge BUT to their credit, they gave us a $20 gift certificate to use at another time!! Now, if this isn't customer service, I don't know what is. As we live on the opposite side of the country, East Coast, it is doubtful we can use the gift certificate, but the point is that here is an eating establishment that truly honors their guests. I say, to all other eateries, take a lesson from Tomato Street. Customer Friendly. If ever you are in the Coeur D'Alene Area, you must, must, must give this place a try. I think we may have just hit them on a "bad hair day", as we all have, but they bent over backwards to accomodate us and I can not say enough about that business practice. Thank you. kudos 11

Since the spaghetti factory is all the way deep into Spokane,(and concord), this place is very very good..... It's been a while, but I can't wait to get a craving again for it.....
(5)Amy W.
Food was amazing! Wonderful gluten free options and great flavors. Staff very helpful with my many questions regarding gluten free. Martini drinks were a bit spendy for what I got.
(4)Mei-Lu M.
I'm not from this area, so I'd never heard of Tomato Street before (must be a local chain?) and the reviews made me check it out. I can see how this would be a fun place to go with a group of people but the food I had was really mediocre. Literally everything tasted like it was out of the massed produced food section of the grocery store. The soup tasted canned, the pizza crust tasted like cardboard, the garlic bread was really cheap and gross and the calamari tasted straight out of a box. Maybe I ordered all the wrong things but I'm not going back to try again.
(2)Kevin D.
Ate there last night and it was fabulous! The ambience is fantastic the service was excellent! Joy was our server and she did an outstanding job! We will definitely be back! It is our newest favorite restaurant in CDA!
(5)Jessie S.
Love this place!!! Fantastic garlic bread and marinara, carne bollas, Caesar salad, calamari and Aunt Rose's pasta is to die for! Great atmosphere, cozy, good service!
(5)A L C.
Always a sure bet in my book. The kids totally love it and are welcomed there & the lazoni is to die for, as is the artichoke appetizer.
(5)Kathi C.
We had dinner. There was a 30 minute wait for dinner at 7pm on a Sunday. The service was prompt and friendly. The food was excellent. Most exciting for me was the number of gluten-free menu items. The items were indicated on the menu and the server & kitchen staff took great care to get my order correct. This is my new favorite restaurant!
(5)Dave K.
Very Popular place - crowded (30-min wait) but probably worth it. We were lucky enough to catch a couple leaving a booth in the bar - we dove for it and got it! The waitress was a very busy young lady, but we were served quickly, with a smile and a laugh, and she checked on us regularly. She got a good tip! Food was very good, and we had spumoni to top it off. The only gripes I have are inconvenient parking, and the heat was sauna-like. I love Tomato Street!
(4)Tawni B.
I've been going here since I was a kid, and it's always been one of my favorites. I love the cheezy paper tablecloths with crayons!!! The garlic bread basket is delicious....so much better than a breadstick from Olive Garden....it has REAL flavor. The pastas are all good of course and the smashed sandwiches are tasty as well. They used to have spumoni ice cream but I didn't see it last time I was there. The pizzas and calzones are pretty good too. Probably one of the best places to eat in Coeur d'Alene. ESPECIALLY for lunch :)
(5)Gary W.
Popular, great food makes up for the service and bring an empty stomach!
(4)Don M.
This place is awesome the service was great and the food is delicious. Our servers name was mick he was very nice. The blackened chicken sandwich is a must try. It is the best sandwich I have had ever.
(5)Kim B.
Kind of cute, not overly impressed but fit the bill while my husband carbo loaded before and after his Ironman triathlon in CDA. Somewhat reminiscent of Romeo's in Austin, for the faux-Italian garden patio effect, with large tomato cans on the wall. We tried cheese pizza one night (decent) and some sandwiches another night. Our servers were fast and friendly both times. Seems like a family-friendly restaurant.

Tomato Street does a good job of bringing new dishes to the menu while keeping the quality of favorites there, too. My drink was excellent and you could actually taste the alcohol in it. The wait staff was moving quickly and quick to provide anything you might request in a somewhat timely manner. I tried the new dish Mancini's Pie which was an indulgent Italian take on Shepard's Pie. Meatballs, bacon, spinach, sun dried tomatoes served on top of Alfredo sauce covered with garlic mashed potatoes. It way too much for me alone but so wonderful I couldn't leave it behind. My companions shared a classic pepperoni and sausage pizza. Let's not forget the yummy tomato basil soup and garlic bread! I am rarely disappointed at this restaurant!

Great for what it is - a no frills Italian restaurant. Amazing ragu with lots of depth on their lasagna. The smoked chicken manicotti was good too. Wish we had one near us.

This is a great family restaurtant! Their service is good, food is great, and its a fun place for kids because they can actually write on the tables with crayons, a little chalk to doodle, and other little activities whether play dough or pasta necklaces! Pretty fun place

nice decor, festive atmosphere, nice, friendly staff. garlic bread with pesto sauce was great but probably a vein clogger. the calamari appetizer was good. but the food that required real culinary skills sucked. my eggplant parmigian was fresh out of the freezer. my friend's blackened chicken sandwich was not good either- it was overcooked and burnt (yes its supposed to be blackened but not cooked til it is rock hard and dried out). my other friend's pasta (pasta with blackened chicken) was soaked in oil and flavorless as well. the entrees are nothing great. they look good when they are delivered to your table but are flavorless. it's amazing to me how the chefs in these restaurants throw things together and think the meals are good. so, go there for appetizers or pizza or other finger foods.

I'm here from the East Coast visiting my dad in the hospital and Jerome brings me to this wonderful, friendly atmosphere to fuel up for the difficult weekend ahead. Brendon in the lounge was helpful, attentive and just awesome! Great food and generous portions. Eat here!

Fun family Italian restaurant. The kids love drawing on the tables and making necklaces out of the little bags of pasta, string and clay that they have there for them, which gives Mom and Dad a break. The bread they give out is really good, as well as all the food there. Would recommend it for sure
(5)Rosa I.
So yummy! The calzone with bacon, chicken and Alfredo sauce was FANTASTIC. Really great flavor. The Alfredo fettuccine was lacking flavor, but still good. Definitely good home style cooking. I'll be back.
(4)Richard P.
Great for kids, food was good. Beware of large portions. Felt that food was rushed out, but over all a positive experience. Service was average.
(4)Jen O.
I can't really say anything negative about this place. The service was great, even though the place was pretty full. They had a large selection of pizzas and pastas. Prices were very reasonable and each meal was enough for two. I had pizza while my friend had pasta and we both enjoyed our meals. I would definitely go there again.
(5)Christy R.
Our waitress was in a hurry and didn't know anything! The beer/wine menu on the table didn't have prices. I asked how much the glass of wine was that I wanted. Waitress told me $5 or 6 not sure. Really? It ended up being $7.50. Food was ok not wonderful.
(3)Brian H.
Whats with all the hats the srevers were wearing? Lol. Food was really good. Spaghettishould have had more sauce. Lasagna was really good. DO NOT get it baked. Its just not worth it. We had K.C. for our server. He was very nice.
(3)Maria B.
Its all about the name... I liked this place. The name got me in the door, how great is that name? The food was quite tasty. I did take out - got some ravioli app and a salad. Both were very nice. The service is pleasant, the place was hopping, even at 5 pm in the afternoon. They have a bar area and a restaurant, there were happy hour people and families coming in the door. My food arrived in a timely fashion, and well packaged. I'd come here again, and if its a chain (felt like it might be), I'd visit another one too.
(4)Mika D.
I've heard really good reviews about this place for the past couple of years so I was excited to finally try it. I sadly wasn't impressed one bit. The service wasn't good and the food was average. The best thing about my meal (Eggplant Parmigiana) was the side salad that came with it. The chances of me coming in again are pretty slim.

I really wanted to like this place. However, it was awful. My glass of wine was the best thing about my experience. I ordered a lasagna dinner. The salad was just iceberg lettuce. The garlic bread is ok. The lasagna was worse than frozen store bought. The noodles were soggy and mealy. There was almost no cheese. There was no oven burnt crispy bits at all and it was drowning in marinara sauce. I paid $25 dollars for the awfulness that was this dinner.

Friendly. Decent food. Lots of energy in the room. Good place to go. I lucked out. I took a cheap hotel room and wanted something in the neighbourhood. This was about two blocks away. It really worked out. The food was good and filling. Decent flavour, good quality. The price was a little higher than I hoped but it was good value. The room is casual, warm, and friendly. This is clearly a joint that locals love. There was a 20 minute line up so I ate at the bar. The employees were young and you could tell morale was high. The bartender who served me was friendly and helpful. The food came out very quickly. I had a baked vegetarian pasta. It came with good garlic breads and a decent green salad. I also had a huckleberry lemonade which was good. Came to 20 bucks before tip. Probably the best dinner I could have had in the neighbourhood.
(4)Lisa M.
Delicious italian food including Gluten free pasta- hooray! This is a Fun, friendly restaurant that's great for kids and large groups. They bring the kids play dough and pasta to make necklaces so that keeps them happy. The service was good and the food was great. I had the gluten free blackened chicken Alfredo which was delish! Oh- and get the huckleberry lemonade. Yum.

My family and I ate here for my sister's graduation. We were satisfied with the service and food but gratuity was added to the bill and we were never informed. Without realizing it, the waitress got a very generous tip on top of the 18% gratuity. After realizing the amount of money spent on service we called the restaurant, not to get the money back, but to mention to them that it would be considerate for the server to inform the party of added gratuity. The manager Terri handled the situation completely wrong and was very inconsiderate to our concern. She was rude, belittling, not helpful and provided horrible customer service. We were frequent flyers but will not be returning to this restaurant because of how poorly the manager handled the situation.

We stopped here on our way through town, I got eggplant Parmesan and my friend had the baked spaghetti, we both enjoyed our dishes and left stuffed.
(5)Todd C.
I had the Penne Pallame and it was fantastic. Excellent cream based sauce and the chicken and peppers where fresh and delicious. My wife had the shrimp pasta, it was bland. She was disappointed. The garlic bread is great and the tomato basil soup was awesome. The service was good. The wine and beer selection is ok. We will be back to try some of the other menu items.
(3)Andrew B.
I went here again this is one of the absolute best places in Couer d'Alene the staff is awesome and the food is excellent very filling and good portions try it!
(5)Kayla S.
Blackened chicken panini is where it's at!!! Love their salads, bread and that sandwich is yum! Fun atmosphere, up beat!
(5)Gina M.
Not very good food. I ordered the chicken dish and it was so dry I couldn't eat it. Just ate pasta. My son loved his butter noodle and staff was great. Just passing through but wouldn't come back
(2)Kasey L.
They are more on the expensive side, but worth it! Best lasagna I have ever had. Great happy hour! Yummy cocktails! Their meatball calzone type appetizer things are delicious. Also their lasagna wrapped in pizza dough and baked (think its called Lazoni) is bomb! Definitely go check it out!!
(5)Barbara B.
Right away you notice the wacky hats the help is wearing. At the table there is a paper table cloth with crayons. Even as an adult you can't help but want to color. Garlic Ranch dressing was good. Garlic bread also very tasty. I had the chicken manicotti. I was thankful for a reasonably priced lunch portion. it was very good and filling. I will definitely go back.
(5)Tim H.
The people were nice. the service was great. The food was bland.
(2)sue M.
After being on the road and eating out 2 or 3 times a day we wanted good flavor. Found this place based on Yelp comments and want to add mine. Great variety of food and excellent flavors. Garlic bread is super tasty and not swimming in butter. Pasta sauces are the homemade baked type - not out of a can or bottle! Even the calamari rings were fresh and tender with a variety of great and flavorful dipping sauces. I'd eat here again!
(5)Debbie W.
What a fun place! Friendly staff that wear crazy hats, rubber stamp little bambino's menu on paper table cloth, crayons for the kids to draw on paper with, play dough for kids. Best garlic bread ever. Food was great. You don't go away hungry. Fast service. Very kid friendly. Bibs are available for all ages, just ask, I did.

I love Tomato Street, have been eating here since they opened, back when they were still called Tomato Brothers. Great food, great appetizers, wonderful desserts. The service is always great and everyone who works there is always very friendly. My personal favorite is the Penne Pallame followed by the Chocolate Lush, which I was very excited to see return to the menu after its absence of a few years. The only reason they get 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the rising prices. I understand that the cost of everything has risen over the last several years, but their price increases have easily outstripped anywhere else I regularly eat at. Still, the food is very good, I'm just sad I can't afford to go there as often as I used to. An addendum: They are a terrific place to get an order to-go from. They do an awesome job bagging up your food, I've never had a mistake in a to-go order, and the manager has sometimes called the next day just to verify that the order was correct and that everything was good. Can't beat that kind of customer service.
(4)Angie L.
Excellent food, had the twice baked spaghetti and strawberry lemonade. Our server Jake was personable without being intrusive. The salad was fresh, the dressing (garlic ranch) was wonderful, and the food came out fast. This will certainly make my regular restaurant rotation!
(4)Darian D.
The Tomato Street in Coeur D'Alene is IMO just as great as the Tomato Street in Spokane yet it doesn't seem to be as popular as the Spokane location yet the quality of their food and service is in the same league, I definitely prefer Tomato Street to Olive Garden any day, I think you get more food for your money at Tomato Street.
(5)Scott S.
The pepperoni and sausage calzone was outstanding. It's basically an 11" pizza folded over and stuffed with the freshest ingredients. The crust tasted like a real hand tossed pizza crust - the kind you used to be able to get in a pizzeria, before the big chains took over. Their free bread also tastes great.
(5)Marie D.
For a large group of 25 and during rush hour, they did extremely well and even let us pay for separate checks! Their portions are large with real cheese so if you want a smaller portion, you can request for the lunch portion and it's cheaper too. The garlic bread is amazing and so is their garlic ranch dressing for their salad!
(4)Max G.
The food is overpriced for the quality and experience. The pasta was mediocre. I would recommend finding a better place that is cheaper. I had the blackened chicken and it tasted like it had been sitting out for at least 15 minutes before I got it and it came out about 10 minutes after ordering. There is a point at which service is too fast...
(3)Ryan D.
Changed the menu and made the portions half the size but same price. When ordered chicken was completely raw. Manager never apologized for issue and did not fix issue. Never going back.
(1)Renee Q.
We loved this place. I loved the ambiance and decor. The large menu. The staff were excellent. Our food was divine(portions were huge) and the creme brulee and bread were to die for. I wish we had one near us. Can't recommend this place enough.
(5)Psudonyme I.
Well they raised their prices again, AND YOU HAVE TO NOW PAY EXTRA FOR A SALAD. It is too bad that we can no longer go this establishment. I QUIT!!! ...I wrote this out on my phone 6-12 months ago. I forgot to get to the PC and post it.
(1)Ruth C.
I stopped in Tomato Street while passing through town on my way to Spokane. The food was excellent and I was pleasantly surprised. When I left, I accidentally forgot my credit card. I didn't realize it, until I got to Spokane and I had a flight to catch. When I called the establishment, they graciously offered to mail it back to me. I was doubtful if my credit card would ever make it - but they were true to their word, and it arrived a few days later in the mail. THANKS for being so honest and trustworthy Tomato Street!!! It is really great with all the negative things you read in the newspapers and see on the news to find someone willing to help a stranger out and make their day. Your food was excellent, but your service was AWESOME.

I've been here many times over my lifespan, for various occasions, and have never been dissatisfied. Great food and an amazing environment. Best Italian in CDA.
(4)Erin S.
Tomato Basil Soup.....check. Garlic bread, with lots of garlic that will give you bad breath for days....check. I can't think of a time that I've ever been disappointed coming here. This past time we enjoyed a soup and a tasty appetizer. The appetizer was basically a mini calzone that consisted a spicy meatball that was surrounded by mozzarella cheese, so good! I usually get the Penne Pallame, it's my personal favorite. IA dish with an excellent balance of bacon, chicken, green pepper that are then topped off with fresh roma tomatoes on a bed of penne alfredo. Also, if you actually have room for dessert, my friend and I highly recommend the bread pudding, the best in town!!! So, if you're hungry for large, tasty portions of pasta, then this is the place for you.

Crowd-pleaser -- good food, great for kids, huge portions.

We were in Coeur d'Alene briefly over Labor Day weekend and stayed at the Shilo Inn on Appleway. Our dining options within walking distance were pretty limited, but Tomato Street seemed like a reasonable choice. Ultimately, it was pretty so-so. We arrived during happy hour so it was nice to be able to take advantage of the reduced drink prices. I was pleased to see the browned butter & myzithra cheese pasta option but it really didn't live up to my expectations. (OK, I was expecting something along the lines of Old Spaghetti Factory and it wasn't as good as that...to put things into perspective...) My pasta was swimming in a pool of melted butter, totally disjointed from the cheese. Serviceable starter salad and good herb bread, though, and our server was friendly. I was glad we'd chosen sit in the bar as there seemed to be a fair amount of craziness (hooting and hollering) by some of the staff working in the dining area.
(2)Radashack R.
Overall good experience. I would go here again. Pros: Good tasting food Very friendly service Fun table cloth drawing and pasta necklace making for the kids Fun atmosphere Delicious garlic bread comes complimentary Cons: Small portions for the price (my spinach salad seemed rather small for $10) the kids pizza seemed kind of small and meager for the price Decor is kind of gaudy and dated
(4)Tim S.
A few friends got together for dinner last Friday night. there was a total of eight of us and we all had separate tickets.we paid our bill and left a hefty tip also. Come to find out they had already added a gratuity on to our bill so we all gave them a tip on top of the tip they added in. This is a bullshit business practice. We had no idea we were being taken advantage of like that. I highly recommend that no one goes to this restaurant.
(1)LaNae P.
We just moved up here from Arizona, and this quickly became our new favorite place to go! The fun atmosphere Is a great balance of grown up food and kid friendly touches without feeling like you are at Chucky Cheese! The food is amazing!! The seafood manicotti is a personal favorite while my husband is a big fan of their sandwiches.
(5)Michael And Deborah R.
Good news, bad news, great news. My partner and I came here a little later in the evening looking for a not too expensive but good restaurant in the area while visiting family. We ordered a bottle of wine, I ordered a calzone and he ordered seafood manicotti. Our waiter was personable and attentive. My calzone arrived and it was hot, but not burn the roof of your mouth hot. His seafood manicotti arrived and he took one bite and said, no, no, no. As we eat out frequently, we made a promise to one another that we would NOT accept inferior product. You know, when your wait staff comes around and says "how is everything" and you quietly nod and say "fine", well, we decided that we both work too hard for our $$$$ to accept less than quality service/food. Therefore, when his manicotti arrived, he took one bite and the inside was not only not hot, but cold, almost frozen. He believed that the item was taken from the freezer and "nuked". The pasta kind of rubbery and the filling still almost frozen. We told our waiter who then summoned a manager. We told the manager of our concerns. We expected that they would return it and take it from the bill, which in fact they did. My calzone was there and it was so big that by the time the management talked with you we were now rather full from the calzone. We let the manager know that even the calzone was not as hot as it should be. Long story short, not only did the management remove the less than perfect dish of the seafood manicotti from out tab BUT, and this is a huge BUT to their credit, they gave us a $20 gift certificate to use at another time!! Now, if this isn't customer service, I don't know what is. As we live on the opposite side of the country, East Coast, it is doubtful we can use the gift certificate, but the point is that here is an eating establishment that truly honors their guests. I say, to all other eateries, take a lesson from Tomato Street. Customer Friendly. If ever you are in the Coeur D'Alene Area, you must, must, must give this place a try. I think we may have just hit them on a "bad hair day", as we all have, but they bent over backwards to accomodate us and I can not say enough about that business practice. Thank you. kudos 11

Since the spaghetti factory is all the way deep into Spokane,(and concord), this place is very very good..... It's been a while, but I can't wait to get a craving again for it.....
