Italian Restaurants near Savage

“I have bought lunch takeout twice. The dairy free cheese is good, they cook it until it is slightly browned with is great. Pizza is done right on time, if not a few minutes early.Dietary restrictions: Dairy free cheese melts as well as you can expect and it’s nicely browned. Good flavor. Not sure what they use but it’s better than Daiya.“

“Simply wonderful !! Daughter picked it as our last dinner together for a while , leaving her in Minn, for a new job !! Everything was perfect , food, wine , dessert !! Sitting outside was wonderful, perfect lighting , and music ! Thank you for being the perfect ending to an amazing trip !! Definitely will be a new tradition , with each visit !!“

“What a great experience! The entire staff was so friendly, smiles all around. We've sampled many things across the menu from Chopped Romaine Caesar Salad to Classic House Salad to Spice Chicken Penne to Steak Florentine. Everything is very well prepared and tasty. ?“

“Prima is one of our favorite date night spots. My husband and I always debate which is the best Italian restaurant in the Twin Cities because we have so many great ones. Prima is our favorite for: fresh seasonal food they grow at their own farm, long-standing servers who remember you each time, always seems to squeeze us in, curbside pickup.Parking: Parking lot is out back with a back entrance by Subway.“

“All and all- really good! Would go back, maybe do a online order...I have never been so wanted to check it out- small, friendly and helpful staff, canolli was delicious, we also ordered sandwiches- which they make fresh. Spendy- you pay for what you get!“

“The menu has variety and is very interesting. In fact that is what drew us in. So I was not expecting a smallish space in a strip mall, but that is not their fault. So managing my expectations here, I would like to point out that the demographic for their choice (and volume) of music was more for the employees than anyone who was actually eating at the tables during dinner on a Monday. The food I ordered was such a great idea, but the wild rice and chicken soup was not made on site and had possibly been on the hob too long(?). The club sandwich on a bagel was very good, the aoli was perhaps jarred (and not as good). Overall, nice enough place with a good varied menu. A bit difficult to carry on a conversation beneath the driving music though. Atmosphere is important. Maybe some would love it.“

“Best pizza in town. Everything here is great though: the sammiches, the gelato, the staff, the cooks..Dining room is a bit tight when busy but you can always take it home.It's the only reason I go into murederapolis anymoreParking: Busy intersection and neighborhood, small lot, limited parking. you may walk a bit but it's worth it!“

“The seasonal touches on the menu are great. We went during morel season and had a crespelle with morels in a wine sauce that was incredible. There are a several different dish sizes to choose from which makes it easy to try a few different things. The pastas were made in house and top notch. The staff was also very friendly. It felt like having a delicious dinner at a friend’s house!“

“Wow!!!! What a wonderful experience. Quaint restaurant with amazing food Must go. We had the shrimp tetrazzini and the chicken parmigiana. Both the Alfredo and Red sauces were amazing. House bread and seasoned oil are a wonderful treat. Wines were reasonably priced. Great value. Thanks for a wonderful evening. We will definitely be back“

“Checking out DeLeo Bros was one of the best surprises I've had in quite some time! The pizza is not pretentious, but it doesn't pretend to be either! Instead, it's exactly the way I remember as a kid! It's nostalgic in the best way possible! The food is great, the atmosphere is amazing, and the staff are spectacular!“

“Did an order ahead and ended up having to wait about 15 minutes past my pickup time, but honestly just watching how much fun the staff were having was worth the wait. They very clearly love their job and it made for a really warm environment. They also gave me $20 off for my next visit!“

“Vegetarian options: They don’t have a special menu per se, however you do have the option to customize your own pizza slice/whole with your choice of veggies.Kid-friendliness: Plenty of space for a family of 6 or more to eat in the food courtWheelchair accessibility: They have an elevator that can take you to all the floors the mall has available“

“This location was hit or miss for a while a few years ago. I'm happy to say that lately this Gina Maria's location is consistently excellent! The pizza is phenomenal (we usually get the New York style pepperoni) and the service is first class! Living very close to this location we almost always get carry-out. The pie is always ready and hot at the time given upon ordering. It is an absolute luxury to have this pizza option so close in EP!“

“family oriented and really great pizza ? old school pizza pallor feel with arcade 99% staff is consumer friendly out the couple years eating there just had couple staff that seem more like hurry go I am for a paycheck only l.Kid-friendliness: they have an arcade“

“I haven't been to Pizza Luce in years - and my kids 1st time. Our server Jamie was great. We had ordered stuffed shells for our kids and they came out cold. We mentined it to our server and she took them right away and got us a new order. At the end of the meal she told us she had taken the shells off the bill - which we thanked her for. Great service, kids loved it too. Will definitely be back.“

“First timer. Pizza is one of my favorites. It was a little expensive but nowadays everything is, food prices have went up drastically so you can never blame the restaurant. The pizza was delicious, fresh ingredients & the salted caramel cheesecake? Don't pass it up! The driver was also super friendly, he called upon arrival as I was staying in a hotel. I was willing to meet him at the front desk but he was adamant to bring it to me. And he did with a smile, super friendly! Any time I'm in the area, I'll definitely order again.“

“Used to be 5 stars, but recently they have reduced amount of meat they put on pizza - pretty sure it is a deliberate cost-cutting measure. Have to order 'extra sausage' just to get an ok amount of meat. Still tasty, but reducing protein is the opposite of what restaurants should be doing for their customers.“

“This location is one with integrity. My daughter and I came in to have a pizza for dinner. The server was great - she was friendly, took our order, and made sure we had our drinks.However, we ran into a small snag. Turns out, she'd mistakenly given our pizza to a different table. Whoops. Things happen, not really a big deal.What impressed me was that the manager and store took full ownership of the situation. He came over apologized and told us that he was buying our pizza and appetizer for us.He didn't need to, it's an honest mistake it happens and we were willing to wait. I asked if I could pay for the pizza anyway. He was very insistent that I not worry about it, so I didn't.The pizza was delicious, as it always is with Giordano's.“

“We ordered 2 pizzas (meat lover & supreme), 2 apps (fried ravioli & mojos) & 2 desserts (Tiramisu & chunk cookie), which were a delicious treat during football Sunday!! They delivered which is always ideal during a MN winter. Needless to say we have a new favorite pizza place...Yay!! **Super friendly person taking our order...keep up the good work!!“

“Pretty basic, not bad, not super memorable. Handy to grab a quick slice at lunch. Limited topings. Cheesy bread was ok, maybe a bit above average. If you near by - great grab some, but probably not really worth going much out of your way.“

“This was the best meal I've ever had. I couldn't even understand how it was so good.It was the second time my husband and I have visited - the first time was great too. This time though, I got the filet and it was amazing. The asparagus was perfectly cooked. My husband realized at the end that he cut his whole filet with his butter knife! We got the Caramel Gelato at the end and I was thinking "this better be something special for $9.....". Oh my gosh. It was. I can't even express how wonderful it was - so so smooth and concentrated with flavor (the perfect hint of salt at the end of each bite).She's a good one. Spendy... but worth it.“

“I recently visited Cafe Viola in Eden Prairie, Minnesota and was thoroughly impressed! The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with friendly baristas who took the time to get to know me. But the real star of the show was the coffee - rich, smooth, and expertly crafted. I ordered a latte and it was truly one of the best I've ever had. The perfect spot to grab a cup of joe and catch up with friends or get some work done. 5 stars and highly recommended!“

“Just a quick and tasty pizza. I didn’t realize they were a franchise until my 3rd visit but it still always hits the spot. I recommend the deep dish pizza. It’s basically like a Detroit style or Sicilian style but it’s thick and crispy.Vegetarian options: Plain cheese pizza and probably a veggie pizzaParking: Plenty of parking in the strip mallKid-friendliness: What kid doesn’t love pizza?!?!?!“

“Ones of my fav restaurants to visit when I'm in town. It was pretty busy but the line went by fast. I ordered the carbonara with Italian sausage. Ahh noticed when I got to the sausage it was not the sausage I was used to getting. This looked like round Italian sausage pieces that belong on a pizza. I have to say I prefer the sausage links that they cut. It added more flavor to the dish. I'm pretty sure I'll be back to try something else on the menu.“

“Have both been in a while and was delighted! I have limited options (gf df) but had options and the waited was very helpful! We were a large family group and we had a great time together! The restaurant was clean and felt well cared for. I look forward to next timeDietary restrictions: There is GF pasta and it was well cooked! I was glad to hear the red sauce is dairy free and I had a salad with oil and vinegar -Kid-friendliness: Definitely a family welcoming place!Wheelchair accessibility: Main floor and lots of room“

“Tried the Shrimp Fra Diavolo. We were able to request our desired spice level which is great for those that like things mild. Sara G was so helpful in helping out with suggestions and was just a pleasure to work with. THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD MAKE THIS PLACE OVER THE TOP WOULD BE TO BEING BACK THE FRUTTI DE MARI PASTA. Please ?? That was our favorite!!!!“

“It's some of the best thin crust pizza I've had since I can remember. We had a 4 meat pizza and added oinion. This is why it was expensive, 5 toppings. I would do it again. There are no surprises. They are not trying to make a traditional pizza into something it is not. The best part of the pizza, I would say, are the toppings, especially the sausage. Red's has the best sausage by far anywhere. That is saying something since it's not even my favorite topping, but it was tonight. Missed the buffet at lunch, and that does look to be the best value. I ended up adding 4 garlic and cheese slices(one order) with a large ramekin of marinara for $8.00. That is $2.00/ slice, not a great value there, so perhaps try it 1st at a lunch buffet to see if you would order it as a stand-alone order some other time. Lastly, the staff were very kind and just the right amount of attentiveness . Lastly lastly the pizza is in squares. Grab a knife and fork for all you triangle lovers out there. You will do just fine. See you next time red's!Parking: Big lot, shared parking with strip mall business.“

“It's tight in there so we always do take out and it's been fabulous food and service every time. We're on a first name basis and that's rare these days. The food is authentic Italian, so don't expect "Americanized" fare!“

“I used to think of Olive Garden similar to Red Lobster; a place I might go on special occasions, but not somewhere I would go on regular days, due to high prices. This changed recently when my father passed away and my mother suggested we go to the location in Bloomington. She introduced me to the NeverEnding Soup & Salad. For a very reasonable price near lunchtime they would serve exactly what it says… bowl after bowl of soups. You can ask for the same soup or try different ones, your choice. In addition they bring out a large salad made up of lettuce, tomatoes, croutons, red onions, olives, peppers…with cheese if you like. We would order the salad without olives or peppers and no added cheese. Soup on the other hand I would have them add cheese. They don’t stop adding it until you tell them to stop either!I remember stories about Olive Garden trying to push wine onto customers, and customers taking advantage of the endless breadsticks. I don’t drink and I’m not that big a fan of bread, but their breadsticks are amazing.Recently we went on a weekend, when the soup & salad is $2 more, and at a busy time of day. I joined a waitlist online and without realizing it had provided my email address and agreed to receive advertising from them. The very first email was for a free appetizer (or dessert) with an adult entree, not the soup & salad. I started to look at the menu for their other items. We had looked at the menu before and thought it was mostly pasta dishes and or seafood. which I wasn’t particularly interested in. But now I realized they offered a steak as well. My mouth began to water. I’m not one for desserts, and theirs are decadent, but a free appetizer intrigued me. I chose the Burnsville location as its closer to where I live, plus currently there’s construction on the road by the Bloomington one.I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the building looked very similar if not exactly the same as the other location, on the inside. I had viewed the menu online and pre-chosen what I would order. The least decadent appetizer was meatballs, and because too much cow meat didn’t appeal to me, decided on the chicken Alfredo for my entree. I was going by myself.I had a feeling that the dishes were large amounts of food, and I was right. I knew I wouldn’t be able to eat it all, because in addition to the entree you also got either a soup or salad, and breadsticks, but had learned I could take food home with me. I hadn’t ever done it before, but I needed to today.The server was very pleasant and helpful with my coupon. My meal would have been $33 plus tax but with the coupon came out to only $22 including tax; not really expensive when you take in the service, amount of food and ambience. Because I was getting something free, I decided to tip more than my usual 25%. I give less if the service isn’t good, but I received excellent service.I was surprised when the Chef (or what appeared to be the chef) came to check up on me. It may have been the manager, but he was in a chef’s outfit. This really made me feel special! I hadn’t seen anyone like this at the Bloomington location, and I’ve been there several times.I was very impressed!“
