Tomato Street
Tomato Street is an Italian restaurant in Coeur d'Alene housed in a building with brick walls, large windows, and warm lighting that creates a cozy dining space. The open kitchen design lets guests watch cooks prepare fresh pasta, pizza from brick ovens, and other dishes made with local ingredients throughout the day.
The restaurant began in 1993 when owners transformed the original Tomato Brothers into this new concept and it quickly gained popularity in the community. It has remained an established spot that continues to work with local farmers and vendors to keep food fresh and regional.
The name Tomato Street came from owners Erkki Oranen and Cyrus Vaughn, who transformed the original Tomato Brothers into a lively community gathering place. It has become a social hub where locals and visitors connect over homemade Italian food in a space filled with local art.
The restaurant opens most evenings with shorter hours on weekdays and later closing times on weekends, making reservations helpful on busy nights. Indoor and outdoor seating are available depending on the season, and takeout options are offered for those who prefer to dine elsewhere.
The restaurant sources ingredients fresh daily from local farmers and vendors, allowing guests to taste the difference in their meals from day to day. The open kitchen paired with local artwork displayed on the walls creates a sense of genuine connection to the community and its food traditions.
