izza has returned to Coeur d Alene s Riverstone complex in an unintended pandemic expansion. Vicino, which means nearby in Italian, is the sister restaurant to Vine & Olive, also in Riverstone. Vine & Olive s dining room was closed due to Idaho s stay-home order, says owner Naomi Boutz, who opened the restaurant in January 2018. I was beyond mentally drained, says Boutz, who adds she had been open to someday starting a second restaurant, yet not during a pandemic. She blanched when Vine & Olive executive chef Josh Pebbles suggested she look into the former Bullman s Pizza location. But the seed, once planted, took root as Boutz researched the idea. Pizza has fared better than most restaurant concepts during the pandemic as takeout continues to gain market share, she realized. Riverstone gets good foot traffic, she posited, and Vicino s could echo Vine & Olive s soulful approach, including a stellar wine list.
