While visiting Sandpoint, I asked a local walking by if she could recommend a place to eat dinner. She suggested Ivano's and it was wonderful. We ordered the Lasagna Bolognese family style. It was delicious. Great salad, perfect mixed veggies with the dinner, the lasagna bolognese was spectacular, and the dessert was a perfect finishing touch. We very much enjoyed... More

Perfect dining on a summer evening is outdoors at Ivano's. A great Italian menu with lots of variety for different eaters. But for me, I am so glad that they offer delicious meals, but they also offer GLUTEN FREE pasta and bread. I can eat all the great Italian foods along with everyone else when we eat at Ivano's.

Very average at best. I find it very difficult to believe reviews of 4 & 5 stars? This was a Saturday night, as we were being shown to our table I noticed about a third of the tables had tablecloths and the rest didn't? They sat us at a table for two which was adequate in size. The problem was... More

We drove over to Sandpoint to put some mileage on a new car, stay a few nights in town and eat at Ivano's. A long trip from Kalispell, Montana. Ivano's was worth the drive. We had no idea about the amount of food per dish. Bruschetta was ordered while we searched the menu. What came out was a huge plate... More

This place covered the bases - good service - good wine list - good food. The duck special was very tasty and flavorful, although the polenta it rested on was dry and almost burned. My husband had a pork ragu, however and that was melt-in-your mouth delicious. Their bread is fantastic.

I finally tried Ivanos. And i liked it. We started with the grilled feta and crustinis. Yummy. My friend had a veal dish that was a great portion and very tastey. I had linguni with shrimp and scalops. Cooked perfect. The wine menu was slim by the glass but priced resonable by the bottle. And i end up getting a... More

My husband had the seafood pasta for lunch and the flavored were so amazing - I asked and they make their own fish sauce which I am sure is why it is so good! Great wine list too!

We ate here several years ago and enjoyed it so we decided to take our boys there, as we were in town for the Winter Carnival. We arrived at 5pm and they asked us if we had reservations - We did not. When they said we will seat you but you will need to be out by 7pm. I should... More

We have eaten hear a number of times as we pass through Sandpoint and we can always count on an excellent meal with lots of options for everyone. The service is quick and efficient and the ambience is friendly and relaxing. Last night I thoroughly enjoyed the cioppino and my husband loved the lasagne.

They usually have an excellent fresh fish on special. Other than that, the menu is mainly pasta based. They do have gluten free pasta and good veggies.
