Some of our favorite places to eat are not the new, fancy restaurants but rather, the hole-in-the-wall restaurants that have been around forever. That’s the case with Buddy’s Italian Restaurant in Pocatello, a restaurant that has been serving some of the best Italian food in the Gem State since 1961.
