Bistro 45 Wine Bar & Grill

Had the beef short rib pasta, lemon shrimp linguine, apple monchango cheese salad, Italian ragu rigatoni, beef tenderloin pasta, and the garlic bread. All were great you cant go wrong with any of these dishes with exceptional service.

Food was delicious! Service was great!
Awesome view! We'll definitely be back.

What a wonderful experience!
We sat outside with our pup. Obviously, beautiful surroundings.
The perk of having an onsite retail wine purchase with the $6 corkage fee was amazing. The gentleman behind the bar gave a great recommendation on an Italian wine. It was perfect for the weather and our food selection.
Collette is a personable, informative server. Such a pleasure. Someone you want to pull up a chair and talk with.
The young lady who was the “runner” was so pleasant and adept and had a wonderful smile.
And the food: the bruschetta was a beautiful elevation of norm. This was accomplished partly by the bread base. The only way to describe it … a delicate and tender bread base..no idea if the preparation unfortunately. The toppings with the balsamic reduction was delicious. However, It was the bread base that made it stand above others. Collette recommended the salmon with such enthusiasm, that I had to order it….a complete winner. The sear on the salmon…the pesto…the spinach risotto… the perfectly cooked veggie medley…wow.
My husband loved his pork chop and garlic mashed potatoes. I cannot elaborate since I did not eat it.
We topped off the dinner with the lava cake and gelato. It was also very tasty. Dense dark chocolate with the right amount of softness in the middle. Gelato was a delicious accent.
I cannot attest to the other offerings on the menu, but, if they are anything like the quality of ours…who could go wrong?
Kudos to the owners, the chef and the rest of the team!

We ate here tonight for our anniversary. They sat us outside with water front views. The food was awesome. We had the clam chowder. It's the best I've ever had. My husband had the lamb with kuskus. It was phenomenal. They had a drink call the Payette Mule.its my new favorite drink. It's a mule with huckleberry vodka and real huckleberries. We would very much recommend it.

We liked the appetizers here sitting at the bar and talking to Richard. The food came so fast and l liked the calamaris, the shrimp tacos were ok, our friend tried the meatballs.
The place was mellow in a week day in February and closes at 8pm. Will definitely come back to try the new chef recipes.

We’ve been here twice now in the past two months and it’s been a winner every time! The chef is an artist in every way. I’ve had the salmon both times - the lemon pesto crust on it and cooked to perfection on the inside. My husband has ordered the short rib pasta that is a culinary masterpiece that melts in your mouth - proof that the chef is in the kitchen, not a short order cook. It’s our new favorite in McCall!!

Perfection. Our waiter Craig was professional and likeable, provided recommendations from his own palette as well as offering the tempting special. The view from mid deck was still spectacular. We tried eggplant/zucchini and mushroom pockets to start- Wow the sauces and presentation were delightful. When we ordered the chicken paella as a huge shared entree we thought it was a per person cost (GREAT VALUE!) and were concerned we had not been charged enough for such a yummy meal. Dessert did not disappoint and really was the embellished beauty promised. I cannot wait to return and enjoy this experience again and excited to try new items because this really is a place where everything is special.

They live up to everything fabulous and more! Pasta Al denti, sauces are multi layered, service superb! A must destination for a wonderful meal.

This is the best of both worlds. Bistro 45 is a beloved, tiny wine bar where you can socialize and have a light, reasonably priced meal. Regazza was a higher end restaurant with a limited but good wine selection. When they joined forces, a very special alchemy occurred. You can go there for a quick glass of wine and reasonably priced bistro fare, or you can enjoy top notch fine dining and premium wine. You can just go have some wine, beer or jazzed up canned cocktails and socialize in the very relaxed bar area and take in whatever is on the TV. I will be a regular customer. I love the new vibe.

*The* Best Meal I had in Idaho!

Ragazza di Lago is right along Payette Lake: The atmosphere is inviting; and the view is wonderful!

Both my dinner and dessert were flavorful and made with care. Chef was in and came by to greet tables. Absolutely wonderful experience.

For having dined in McCall so many different times, I can't believe we haven't dined here yet until now. It's probably one of McCall's best kept secrets, we absolutely loved the food, the service and the view is pretty sweet too. We'll be back for sure, now that we know about it.

Its more of a 4.5. But 4 stars wouldn't be fair. I am rounding up to 5 because all the small mistakes were remedied. A must-try!

We enjoyed the Wine and the Brie. Burgers and paninis were delicious.

My wife and I opted for the elk burger and the beef tenderloin steak and they were delicious. Great view of the lake and mountains, overall great experience.

First time try this kind of breakfast. Rancher . For me it’s like egg cake with cheese. The cheese is light not heavy taste. Overall taste very light. Not too salty. Good meal for health

This restaurant was phenomenal. We had three small tapas to start. The pecan bacon wrapped dates, the garlic bread, and the steamed mussels in chorizo. The only one that really was not anything special was the garlic bread. I think it could be elevates with a garlic confit, and cheese or something along those lines. It was just kind of basic. But the other two small tapas were AMAZING. For dinner, I got the mushroom truffle gnocchi and my husband got the fried chicken with the spinach artichoke sauce. They were both amazing. The fried chicken was well breaded and the spinach artichoke sauce was over the fried chicken and the side of pasta. The gnocchi was well cooked and had amazing flavor. For dessert, we have the lemon cheesecake that was incredible. The cocktails were also well made and delicious! We will be eating here again before the end of our vacation.

Amazing food. We have been all over the world, and just thought we should try this little restaurant out in McCall, Ragazza Di Lago, and it was a big surprise. Chef Kyle did not disappoint. Our appetizer was the Mushroom Purse. So amazing, and you should have bread to soak up the decadent sauce. Then the clam chowder. OK, we have had hundreds of bowls of clam chowder every where in America, and we have now dubbed this restaurant as having the best!. Then I ordered the Beef Short Rib Pasta. It was so rich and creamy and tender, that I could only eat half of it, and boxed the rest to have for breakfast tomorrow! My wife had the Chorizo crusted seared scallops, and she too agreed, this is a must destination for restaurant foodies to come and experience.

The food was excellent try the bacon wrapped dates. The service was perfect and the price was low for the quality of the food. I would highly recommend it!

The short rib pasta was amazing. The appetizers were also really good. I would go back!

My only complaint is they refuse to split the check with our party. We only wanted two - as we were with another family. Seems a bit odd that they counted the two babies in their tally to say we couldn’t split it.

We had a delightful dinner experience celebrating my husband's birthday. He had the trout and said it was delicious. Terri was our server, very pleasant. She recommended the halibut, it was very good.

We had a dinner reservation. We were seated immediately and brought water. Our server was friendly and efficient. Food was brought out in a reasonable amount of time it was very good. They have gluten free options. We had a nice, quiet, delicious dinner. Would definitely go back.
