Join us for Brunch saturday & sunday
W e believe in ingredients, so we always start there. Our
approach is to give you upscale flavors in a casual and fun setting. We work closely with our local farmers, growers and purveyors to source products with integrity, flavor and soul. The result is food that is honest, straightforward and pays homage to the bounty of the region we are so lucky to call home. Our wine and beer lists are the same way. You’ll notice that we have stayed
almost exclusively within the Pacific Northwest to find and bring you the gems that are produced so close to us.
Our balcony level can accommodate large groups in any number up to 60 guests. On the main level, a hand crafted juniper wood table serves as our chef’s
table. This is a special reservation spot where you can enjoy a pre-fixe meal and wine pairing specially selected by Chef Aaron and will be a little different than our normal menu.
We love Boise, mostly because its cool without trying too hard. We wanted to capture that essence in our restaurant. We want you to feel like you are enjoying something special, but you don’t have to get dressed up or be fancy to do so (unless you want to, and that’s cool too. We aren’t afraid of a little black dress). That is Boise. That is Juniper.

Our space has been brought back to life by uncovering our brick wall and original high windows that were covered sometime in the early 20th century. We love the warmth and light those elements brought to our funky modern space.

Using only the freshest ingredients, a “secret recipe” pizza sauce, handmade mozzarella cheese and dough, Grimaldi’s serves traditional pizza (as it began in Naples, Italy) in an upscale yet casual, family-oriented restaurant.
