1. Café Tuscano: Café Tuscano is an Italian restaurant located
in, of all things, a gas station; though with its warm and
inviting atmosphere, diners will forget its location once they
step inside this Tuscan-inspired café. Serving lunch and
dinner daily, guests will be impressed by the numerous
options, which are all made with fresh and high quality
ingredients. Notable savory items include penne pasta
with chicken, artichoke hearts, tomato, and basil in a creamy
bacon carbonara sauce and lamb chops marinated in
pomegranate sauce served with fresh vegetables and your
choice of potato. Café Tuscano is also a big supporter of
local art and animal organisations, and features an
impressive wine list with both national and international
varieties.

2. Sumisu: Located in Pocatello’s historic Old Town,
Sumisu is an restaurant specializing in sushi and creative
Asian cuisine. In a friendly atmosphere with minimal décor,
this place features a whole host of menu items including
bento boxes, various entrées, and sushi. Everything is
made-to-order using quality produce, which includes flying
in fresh fish from both coasts. Red onion and pineapple
shrimp with cilantro-lime butter and omakase (sushi of the
chef’s choosing) are just a couple of highlights. For those
seeking sushi rolls, try the Chief Pocatello made with
cucumber, avocado, and spicy tuna rolled and topped with
tempura salmon nuggets, sweet soy and spicy mayo.
