The food is beautiful and the atmosphere is relaxed but elegant, I've never had anything but an incredible time here.Vegetarian options: There are multiple vegeterian options throughout the menu.Dietary restrictions: Hyacinth is an alergy aware resturant and is willing to midify dishes to accomodate all dietary restrictions.Parking: There is no parking lot, and Hyacinth is located on a busy stretch of grand ave where street parking is hard to come by. Plan to walk at least a block.Wheelchair accessibility: There are no automatic doors, and there is no accessible parking on the block.

“I recently ordered a pizza to-go from Mama’s Pizza and it was absolutely amazing! The pizza itself was perfectly cooked, with just the right balance of flavors. On top of that, I had a wonderful conversation with Tony, who made the experience even more delightful with his warm and engaging personality. It’s clear that Mama’s Pizza not only excels in their culinary craft but also in their customer service. Highly recommend to anyone craving a top-notch pizza experience!“

“This was an amazing Italian food shoppe with lots of cheese, desserts, and imports. Napolitano , Pistachio Gelato, tiramisu, or my favorite was la duce del Vito. Lots of decadent desserts like Italian horn, and cream puffs and so many more she said. This is in a great location convenient to Airport. Reasonable prices as well.“

“Dominick's is my go to spot for pizza, Strombolis, and sandwiches in the metro! The food is always amazing and the owners employees are always friendly and engaging. I was nervous, like everyone, when the ownership changed in 2023 but the good news is the food and service is exactly the same still!“

“Amazing food. I had the spaghetti and meatballs and was impressed with the flavor. Not over or under cooked and full of flavor. The restaurant gives you cheese bread and with the main entree, garlic bread. Both prepared and executed perfectly. My co driver order the raspberry cheesecake and said it was amazing. Looked very fancy and gourmet. Also the waitresses are very cute. Excellent environment, service and food. Very recommended and will be back.“

“It is very pricey. That's the first point I need to make. The place is a bit small and hot (temperature wise), second important point. The service was great very attentive. Now the food, damn, the food was very vey good! I think, as of now for me, as I've been to many Italian restaurants in MN, this one might be the best Italian restaurant so far. I will most definitely be coming back. Their desserts were also really good.“

“Yarussos has been a staple in our family for generations. My dad absolutely loved eating here or getting takeout sauce and meatballs. So, when he passed away in November, we knew we had to have his memorial service catered by Yarussos. Jerry and staff are amazing. Thank you for always being there for us!“

“Went to Olive garden for lunch. I had spaghetti, salad and bread it was very good. Our waitress was excellent very professional told us what the lunch specials were. And made sure we always had fresh breadsticks and salad. Would definitely recommend Olive garden in Woodbury off radio drive.“

“I loved the food here. It was really good. I had a shrimp pasta dish (Shrimp Garganelli) from here and it was really yummy. We also had the cheese curds and they were delicious. The beets were good too. Had a cherry flavored drink and that wasn't my favorite but their sparkling water was amazing.“

“First time here. Made a reservation. Hosts there don't seem like they want to be there. The waitresses were friendly. You walk in and it doesn't seem like a restaurant, layout is weird. Looks like an ice cream shop. Then they take you to the dining and you see pink panther stuffed animal decor.The bread that comes with the dinner salad was pretty decent. Got the ravioli appetizer. A little bland on the inside but the sauce and outside were decent.Service was a little slow and the pop was flat. Great portion for the pasta. Had leftovers for the next day. Deep dish pizza was good and very filling.It was a good try at something new but I probably won't go back.“

“Cannot say enough good things about our experience at Zambonis on 7th!! Stopped in Friday and camped out and ate and loved the entire experience! We attempted to give wild bills our business Saturday night, and after awful service we left and returned to zambonis! The food, drinks, and atmosphere are everything you would want from a local bar/restaurant! Ps...ask for Gus! He is hilarious!“

“Our waitress very clearly did not want to be there and another kept running over to make up for her poor/complete lack of service. I felt bad for her. I wish I could have given the tip to the other one who visited our table way more, brought our food and to go boxes, and looked generally uncomfortable to be working alongside our waitress. Hopefully whatever was on our waitresses mind and distracting her was resolved positively.“

“We ate on the 2nd floor balcony tonight and everything was absolutely amazing! We were greeted the second we walked thru the doors, given advice on the best pace to sit, and our server, Thomas, was very knowledgeable about everything on the menu. We ordered the wagyu steak and butternut risotto with blue crab cakes and Caesar salad to start. The food was perfect! The service was incredible, at the atmosphere was homey and romantic at the same time. 10/10 will recommend and we will be back!!“

“We have tried the Grand Ave, Northeast MPLS, Roseville, and Eden prairie locations, and all are fantastic. They are consistent, fairly priced, and delicious. I chose to review the Grand Ave location because of the area - we stopped by Grand Ole Creamery afterwards, and had a great time there as well. Plenty of other places to visit on that streetEach location features plentiful parking, even the high-traffic locations of NE and Grand Ave. They are efficient with the ordering/cooking, and we choose to go here over Black Sheep & Pizza Luce every single timeI enjoy both styles they offer, but usually build my own. The focaccia is good too, but we normally just get pizzas. They freshly shave their parmesan cheese and offer bottles of olive oil and balsamic vinegar to take to your table, which we love“

“Absolutely loved this spot, serves amazing Italian cuisine and also caters for gluten restriction and other food allergies. The atmosphere is a very authentic, comfortable vibe with dates, families with small kids, friends, etc. and beautiful, live piano music in the background. Our waitress was so thoughtful and we met the owner Kim who was present and very hands on with operating the business, and introduced herself to our table - cannot say that about any other restaurant in the 5 years we’ve lived here. This is a must-go in Woodbury, … we’re surprised that it took us this long to find it and we will be repeat customers!“

“Literally the best food I've had in a while.Super authentic, cozy and has a familiar almost home-like atmosphere.The waitress was one of the nicest ladies I have ever met, I truly felt welcomed.ALSO! Those were the BEST! breadsticks EVER.“

“This is a great classic style Italian restaurant. The kind of place that brings out bread ? before the meal in this keto friendly world. We really enjoyed our experience. I had the Eggplant ? Parmesan, and the wife had spaghetti ? and meatballs. She ended up with leftovers as the portions are generous. I did not. Highly recommend if you enjoy Italian food.“

“My wife and I had made a trip into South St Paul to our accountant's office and were looking for Italian food. I was craving a dago sandwich and Angelo's Italian Restaurant did not disappoint! This family run restaurant had a delicious dago sandwich with homemade sauce and a large piece of Italian sausage, we got it to go and it was more than enough for two of us for lunch. Thanks Josh and family for a great dining experience, we will be back to try some more dishes from your menu!“

“I read reviews of Louis Restaurante & Bar raving about their fun patio, and yet we stopped by in March. Not to worry, it was still excellent!! It has an almost speakeasy vibe with dark wood and a fantastic bar. We grabbed a quick house cocktail (perfect), house caesar (highly recommend), and house-made pasta (Rigatoni and Pappardelle). The food was excellent and the service was delightful. Our servers were bubbly and well-informed when it came to their menu. We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of all aspects of this restaurant. We will definitely be back!“

“I love this Carbone’s Pizza location! I tell everyone about it. Seriously top notice!My family actually lives in another town and we have another location here and rather drive out to the Saint Paul Park location. You guys know what you’re doing for sure!“

“Outstanding Pizza Goodness!!!Awesome pizza! Exactly what I was hoping for!!! Superb blend of tangy legit home-made pizza sauce, great crispy chewy hand tossed crust, perfectly done & generous fresh quality topping galore! (not too much, just right). I got the spicy Italian, (highly recommended!), I had them put the Buffalo sauce on the side. They included the garlic sauce, but didn't need it but I dipped my crust for some extra savory goodness! Yummo!!! I stopped in and ordered at the counter, very quick 15mins done! W tons of other pies going out the door. 10+++“

“Reds on White Bear is GREAT! Thin crust, tons of toppings and cheese- lots of cheese and cut in squares, the correct way to eat this type of pizza. Kidding aside, Savoys is an excellent choice for delivery or take out pizza! Not sure if there are tables inside....but single slices are available lunch hours. Wait times at prime times can be around an hour but plan ahead and call early and no problem. In-house delivery is an advantage because their employees are delivering, so your customer service is impeccable! Our favorite is the Savoy house special. The leftovers, if you are lucky to have any, are great in the air fryer! Treat yourself with Savoys! No pics because we ate it all“

“Casual service of delicious, thin crust, reminds me of Naan bread. We had a pepperoni Margherita and a salami and fungus and they were mouth blowing! With the fresh Punch salad and the addition of some oil and vinegar made it all pop! I love the crust dipped in oil amd vinegar and the salad on the pizza. The friendly, helpful workers made our first visit great fun! The pizza oven is amazing in how it works and the pizza that comes out!Thanks for fun pictures to the staff and a great lunch to all!!Wine by the glass and bottle available and beer, no NA yet, hopefully soon!Thanks all!Parking: Weird GPS directions sometimes to get into the strip mall.Wheelchair accessibility: No auto doors but wide access and ramps.“

“This is the kind of place that no matter what you order you will not be disappointed. In the past I have had the ribs(10/10 would recommend) and the fried chicken it amazing. Tonight I opted for the meatball hoagie and I wish I could have two, it's unbelievably good“
