The city of Caldwell has seen quite a bit of growth over the past few years, especially when it comes to places to eat. And now, foodies have a new upscale option, brought to Caldwell by Chef Steven Topple, a cook who was born “across the pond” in England but is proud to call the Gem State home.
His newest restaurant –Ragazza di Bufalo– is housed in the former Orphan Annie’s building on Everett Street, and serves up house-made, hand-crafted pastas and sauces, from a chunky marinara to a lobster cream sauce to a bison-stuffed tortellini.
The menu at the Canyon County eatery is centered around the food of northern Italy, a region the British-born chef became fond of during his travels across Europe. Topple recalls, “I just fell in love with the sauces and the pastas, and sealing stuff inside like the raviolis.”
