Italian Restaurants near Mounds View

“Updating my review from 1 star to 5 because I've twice recently ordered through the app and the pizza was perfectly the way it should be and both times ready early. Either I was lucky or the store manager/owner has made a point to improve service at this restaurant.“

“Visited 4/15/24. Back at BLG. As always, give yourself time (and money) for parking. I like the ramp across the street vs trying to find street parking. We got a reservation in advance which was good because this place was popping on a Monday night! To start, we split the garlic and EVOO and then the charred red onion with goat cheese bruschettas. My sister and I were partial to the goat cheese one but both were solid. I got the gnocchi with cauliflower and orange (my fave), my sister got the red wine with pine nut spaghetti, and my mom got the mushroom and taleggio agnolotti. I've had the gnocchi before and it was just as good this time. The sleeper hit of the night was as the red wine with pine nut spaghetti-honestly a good price for the portion size and the overall flavor. The agnolotti was rich but delicious. Honestly everything that I've had at BLG has been on the richer side but that's low key how I prefer my Italian food. I love this place and would recommend it to anyone. Old school Italian meets modern in a trendier place that still feels homestyle like my Italian grandma's kitchen.“

“The restaurant is very beautiful. The space is fairly large and there are different coves for seating. There's also a decent size bar area. The restaurant is also very aesthetically pleasing. Our server was great and explained everything to us. He was also very knowledgeable about the food choices. I would say the food was just okay. Nothing really to rave about. I don't think there was a single thing we had that I could say was phenomenal. The portion sizes are small, but it's definitely good for a tapas style meal if you get enough. I would give this place a four out of five stars more so because of the great service.“

“more of a classy ambiance - great for business meetings, team dinners, dinner with parents (which is what we did!) it's a solid spot, just misses with the "IT" factor. servers are very kind and had great recs we enjoyed. fav dishes: crab cakes, linguine, Rossa pasta & tres leches gelato skip on: risotto, tiramisu (very rummy, unless ur into that) , caramel custard (too sweet)“

“Walleye is always excellent! Garganzola salad is as well. Spicy chicken penne is wonderful and any salmon is done to perfection. We've been going here for years and never have been disappointed.Wheelchair accessibility: No steps for main dining.“

“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!“

“I love Punch Pizza! It’s one of my absolute favorite pizza spots in the Twin Cities. Additionally, Nick the manager absolutely rocks! He took care of my family and made sure that our visit was happy and exceptional! Thank you Nick!Dietary restrictions: We had two gluten free people and one person with lactose intolerance. Their gluten free crust is delicious. It is cooked along with other flour pizzas, but that shouldn’t be a problem unless you are celiac. Their non-dairy cheese was delicious as well!“

“We’ve been here several times and it’s always excellent but this time was even better. JoJo, our server had great recommendations. The oysters were perfect, entrees were delicious as always, and the sticky toffee cake put it over the top along with the China China Amaro that JoJo recommended. Thank you to all who work so hard to continue to make Red Rabbit so excellent in the North Loop.“

“I brought my boss who was visiting Minneapolis for the first time to this place. The pizzas were absolutely delicious. Though for some reason we only ordered four items and ended up spending $150. I’m not saying this is a bad thing, because he paid for the meal. So I guess what I’m trying to say is thank you for making corporate spend money on me. The staff were great and again, the food was incredibly delicious.“

“Can I give EATO, ten stars? Food - the best I have had in years; the service - flawless, perfect mix of professional and friendly; the atmosphere - welcoming and casual. I would not have changed a thing! I had a large group of people coming into Minneapolis from all over the country and a few local friends recommended EATO for the group farewell dinner. A few weeks ago I stopped in and talked to the manager, Jason, and he suggested a half restaurant buyout for the group with tables over by the bar. (Excellent idea, it worked out great!) Then he connected me with Chloe who helped me pick menu items so my guests could choose a salad course and an entree course from five options, with optional protein additions, she also printed out custom menus to welcome my guests. Super easy process, and Chloe had great suggestions,. When we arrived Jesse, Connor, and Chloe were ready and waiting at the bar to handle the group of 30 people, serving them drinks with fresh flowers in them, special tap beers, and bubbly Prosecco. I think part of the group also had some killer Old Fashions they raved about. Connor and Jesse were our servers and they moved through the tables taking orders, delivering the food, filling water glasses, getting drinks, etc. The table service was impeccable, these guys know how to treat guests like honored family. (What more could you ask for?!) I don't know the chef's name, but kudos to the kitchen. The food came out quickly, and was plated beautifully. Without fail, every guest told me that their meal was fantastic. I personally had the beet salad (yum!) and the chicken Parmesan. It was the best chicken parm I have ever had, not kidding. Thank you, EATO, for helping me put on a wonderful event! - Libby Huebner, corporate event planner“

“Had a great dinner on a Saturday night. The roasted beet salad was a perfect preparation - beet , citrus, ricotta - one of the best beet salads I have ever had. The parsnip ravioli was also a winner. My dining companion raved about his radiatori nero - had a nice spice!“

“Good but why put the toppings under the cheese? The cheese slides right off and the vegetables don't get cooked. Had an incredible amount of raw onion under the cheese that even after scraping all the onions out it still tasted of strong raw onion. I like crispy pepperoni on top not a stack under the cheese lol. Confused but still think it's pretty good.“

“I am a frequent customer. I have been going to the sweet taste of Italy for 5+ years. The location I originally went to was the one in Crystal, MN. It was 5 minutes away from my house (by vehicle) Dominic (Long ponytail), the owners nephew is just a magnificent human being.Parking: It is in an outside town center. There are plenty of spaces to park.Kid-friendliness: They have place mats and televisions that can entertain your child(ren).Wheelchair accessibility: There is a huge walkway that can comfortably fit a Honda Civic, so you know a wheelchair can fit.“

“I drove 7 hours to Minneapolis to see the twins play baseball on Friday May 3rd and stopped in for lunch before the game with my son. We ordered The Bear pizza. I got to say the food was worth the trip. Best pizza I have ever had. Sorry Casey's. My next trip to Minnesota I will be stopping there for sure. Make sure to stop at the downtown location. Hands down well worth it. Thank me later. Thank you Pizza Lucé downtown team for all that you do.“

“Nice place! We’d never been here before, but looked for an Italian place Friday evening to break up the fish fry monotony. They seated us right away, service was great, the restaurant is clean, and the food was tasty! Great job Giuseppe’s! We’ll be back again!“

“Stopped by for an early dinner, there was no wait, which was nice. Had the crab cake as a starter, and that was delicious. Our waitress was super helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. She had excellent timing - knew when to pop in for refills on drinks and waters and overall had a very positive attitude and vibe. We had the Burgers and fries for dinner, and they were amazing! The French Fries are addictive. The only bummer was the limited menu. Everything we had was great. We would have loved more food offerings. We will be back, we had an excellent experience.Parking: Street parking only, read the street signs so you don't get towed.“

“Our three days were just perfect. The staff is wonderful, friendly, and desperate to fulfill their goal of making everything about staying here ideal. Spotless facilities, quiet rooms, comfortable beds, good food… I’m not sure what more to say in order to make my point. One cannot go wrong staying at a Four Seasons!“

“The food and ambiance was spectacular. We love the atmosphere and the lobster ravioli was delicious. Not to mention my Cosmopolitan was awesome. We have been going here for years and never have been disappointed. John does a great job of making everyone feel at home.“

“I've seen dagwoods recommended on quite a few pages so I made my way in when i had a weekday downtown. It is good, but not outstanding. Friendly counter staff. Quick enough. I just expect a lot out of an Italian sandwich and I've had better. But it's worth a stop“

“This place has some of my favorite pizza, even if the ownership changed! Make sure to try it out especially if you like variety. They used to ship the water in from Jersey which made it delicious, can't tell if they still are but still tastes great.“

“I am just going to say if you have not been here, i would suggest you better give it a try. The family portions are perfect for a family or a large group. I was with a group of 12, and we ordered almost everything on the menu. I think ?. The shrimp linguini was ?. Or as the kids would say smackin ?. The service was very fast for the amount of food we ordered. We also ordered a couple of desserts that were just as ?. The brownie dessert was my favorite. The server Christy was was very good. Better get there and give it a try.“

“We just moved here and Marino's is so far one of our favorite things about our neighborhood. We have been twice and everything we have tried has been fantastic. They are also very helpful and pleasant folks! It's our new regular spot for take out. The pizza sauce is some of the best I've had.“

“We've been visiting this Rocky Rococo for years. It's become a necessary stop each time we head to the other side of the cities. The slices are large, the dough is soft, the sauce and cheese pair well, and the sausage is always flavorful. They usually take about half an hour from call to pick up and the pizzas are always piping hot (so be careful!). We usually get two single topping pizzas with their breadsticks (those come with marinara and cheese sauce). For our family, it feeds 7 hungry adults with leftovers. If you've never tried this style of pizza, this is the place to do it.“

“The variety of pizzas you can get at Punch is astounding. With combinations that I would have never have thought to try on my own. It is the only pizza place I've been to where the pizza manages to feel light and isn't even remotely bad on the stomach. The Vesuvio is a pretty good pizza! Give it a try!“

“Bartenders and waitresses are great ,food is great ,ice cold tap beer ,only problem is ,it's the most expensive place around to drink Tap Beer.I would go there more often but it's too expensive to drink there( Over Priced Tap Beer )“

“New favorite pizza spot! Have tried several different places for pizza but Savoy pizza is something else, the sauce is great, plenty of cheese, great crust. Overall 9/10, the workers at this location are always nice and answer any questions you have about the place!“

“Great food, the best spaghetti sauce, best meatballs, the best caesar salad, good prices & portions, it's the best Italian I've found downtown Minneapolis! Every Monday all of the salads are on special for just under $6.50 (including tax). It's hard to find lunch downtown for that price!“

“Andrea Pizza has been a fixture in the Skyway for many years. At lunchtime, they crank out pizza by the slice for the hungry office workers in downtown Minneapolis - and it's really, really good. No frills - pick your slices, they put them in the oven to warm, put them on a paper plate and hand you a cup. Quick and easy. A handful of tables to sit at, or take it back to the office. My fave - the veggie artichoke and tomato slice.“

“We were able to make reservations when I called they were awesome polite listened to what I had to say we arrived a few minutes early our table was ready our server was great, food was awesome . Very quick service for a Friday night. Made for a great experience for our daughter's birthday.“

“I went to catch up with my family over endless pasta and it did not disappoint. I hadn't been to olive garden in quite awhile but it was just as I remembered it to be. Lots of options to mix and match on the endless pasta and the server was prompt about returning for refills on salad, soup, breadsticks, and pasta!“

“Absolutely wonderful! We came for the Broadway Pizza and stayed for the environment! We ate in the secondary dining room, felt like my childhood years at the Original Broadway pizza. Fantastic food, cheap drinks, & a good night out!Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly in the dining areaWheelchair accessibility: Accessible ramps“

“Was recommended by a coworker. Figured "hey, this looks good, nice options, etc"Online order was easy, order was ready for pickup on time.First bite and i just gasped and said "Oh my god this is amazing". My only regret is buying one pizza instead of 2.I had the Circus Maximum pizza, fantastic.“

“$15.13 with tax for all you can eat pizza. I can eat a lot of pizza, so that is a good deal. It isn't a huge selection, but they rotate the options fairly quickly. The pasta was exceptional. The wings were good. The soup was super hot, but tasty once it cooled. The country music was annoying, but not the worst country music I've ever heard. Overall, it was good, and a fair value. It's not going to win awards as the worlds greatest pizza buffet in history, but it was a good meal and I am satisfied“

“I don't often take the time to write a review of a restaurant, but I would have felt guilty if I didn't in this case. Seriously great pizza, with the perfect crust, sauce and toppings - piping hot and served with a smile. The cleanliness of this pizza joint was awesome, the staff friendly and, even though it was super busy, the attention to the customer and product was spot on.Thank you for a great experience and a "perfect pie".“
