Discover Florabella’s Handmade Italian Tradition in Missoula, Montana

At Florabella, we’re committed to doing things the old-fashioned way because we believe it genuinely tastes better. Located right here in Missoula, our restaurant blends classic Italian cooking methods with the freshest local ingredients Montana has to offer. Our focus is on making meals that bring people together in a beautiful space and spark a genuine sense of community around the table.

Locally Sourced, Italian Inspired

We work closely with the Western Montana Growers Cooperative to source organic Red Winter Wheat and other high-quality grains. Italian cuisine traditionally highlights what’s grown nearby, so we’ve embraced that philosophy by partnering with our regional farmers. Our bread and pasta reflect the character of this area, infusing every dish with a taste of Montana’s fields, orchards, and valleys.

Handmade Bread and Pasta, Every Single Day

We’re serious about the craft of making things by hand. Our team bakes bread from scratch and rolls pasta fresh in our kitchen every day. By doing the work ourselves, we maintain complete control over quality and ensure each loaf and each batch of noodles offers the flavors and textures we’re proud to serve. No shortcuts—only time, skill, and care go into creating meals that resonate with authenticity.

A Nod to the Past, a Taste of Today

Our home in the old Café Dolce building felt like the ideal place to keep Italian cuisine thriving in Missoula. We love blending time-tested culinary techniques with Montana’s seasonal bounty, creating dishes that honor tradition yet still feel at home here. Think of it as classic Italian recipes balanced with local personality – all served in an environment that respects the past while embracing the present.

Always Changing with the Seasons

Our menu follows Montana’s natural rhythm. When stone fruits in the Bitterroot ripen under the late summer sun, we lean into them. As fall’s root vegetables arrive, we incorporate their earthy depth. We also choose select Italian imports to complement what’s fresh and abundant locally, giving you a reason to explore our menu as the seasons shift. By doing so, we celebrate the continuous change in both our region and our kitchen.

Options for Everyone

We understand that not everyone’s diet is the same, which is why we’re pleased to offer gluten-free and alternative grain options. Since we prepare so much of our food to order, it’s easy for us to adapt and ensure your meal aligns with your preferences or dietary needs. Our goal is to ensure that each guest finds something inviting, satisfying, and just right.
