“The server we had was above par. He was the nicest and best server we've ever had. A very handsome Hispanic gentleman that really made my mother's birthday so much better. We wish we would've asked for his name because idk that we'll be back unless he's working and is our server. I highly recommend the stuffed chicken marsala.“

“My kids just treated me to a birthday dinner at Italian Eatery! It was a fantastic experience all the way around - food, service, and atmosphere. The entrees were delicious (we ordered a variety and shared!), and my dessert - the crostata al limone (a lemon tart) was out of this world! This was my first time at Italian Eatery. I’ll be back!“

“My husband and I chose to celebrate our one year anniversary here today. It was both of our first times dining at Broders’ and we enjoyed everything about this wonderful experience! Upon arriving we were attempting to take a selfie photo outside and one of the employees opened the front door and asked us if we would like him to take our photo. Tyson so kindly took several photo angles and opened up the door for us as we walked in. It truly felt like we were being welcomed into someone’s warm and inviting home. Our sweet waitress helped me select the most delectable glass of wine I have ever tasted. Words cannot explain how delicious the pasta was… we lapped up every single drop and were in absolute food heaven. To top it all off… we were treated to a free dessert of our choosing along with two chocolate cocoa truffles on the house!! After we finished our meal we went across the street to their storefront to purchase some pasta and sauce to enjoy at some point in the coming weeks. We will definitely be back for all special occasions and certainly for our two year anniversary. If you are looking for a once in a lifetime experience and meal this is the place!! Enjoy!“

“If you need your party catered, this is the place to go. Staff: Easy to work with, on time, good prices, friendly and very accommodating. Food: Gorgeous/amazing presentation , fresh, hot, professionally packed. I ordered from Red Rabbit in Saint Paul for my work holiday party. Everyone LOVED the food and the portions are generous. I was able to easily and beautifully display it. The timing was perfect and everything went smoother than I had hoped. This is your one stop shop for all of your party food needs. Hats off to the chefs and management for making our party wonderful.“

“Great service and food!!!!“

“Everything we had was great! Normally we enjoy steak but this was a great change that he and I both enjoyed! Friendly staff also at the bar!“

“This is one of the most delightful little restaurants I've been to. It reminds me of an Italian cafe of a side street in Italy. The food and service amazing. You can tell by all the locals that come in and the staff knows them. Make a reservation if you can. They do get busy, but also take walk-ins“

“The meals are consistently fantastic. I’ve never had a bad meal at this restaurant over the last few years. The ingredients are high quality, fresh, and well prepared. The dishes come out delicious every time. It makes dining incredibly easy when I know I can choose anything on the menu and it will be great. The service is also incredible. Knowledgeable, prompt, and friendly staff. The dining and bar areas are equally beautiful in distinctive ways. Very pleasing to the eye. Zelo is a must try downtown, and if you do, it will become one of your go to restaurants for a nice night out.“

“Truly impeccable service and such a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel so comfortable. The menu provides such vibrant dishes that carry you through a story that gives each bite with such flavor. I’ll definitely be back, I was happy to be introduced to this establishment by Jaelin, it is places like this that you absolutely need to try.“

“Average little place in what looks to be next door to a bowling alley. Warning: They serve authentic Italian hoagie, so if you don't want your gums to bleed, get a different type of bread. Food great, but the markup probably isn't worth the return trip.“

“Outstanding as usual!! Fabulous!“

“Food, atmosphere, and drinks were all fantastic. The Owner/Chef Joel has created something special at this gem nestled in a Minneapolis neighborhood. We had a large party for a friends pre-wedding dinner and the staff handled it great. From the apps to the desert, you can’t go wrong with anything you pick off the menu. We were all tasting each others food by the end of the night wanting to try EVERYTHING! Some have stated a smaller menu and prices, but then say the food blew them away…I for one like to pay to keep amazing food and ingredients an option. Can’t wait to bring my wife and other family members in the Twin Cities to do it again.“

“Great food. Homemade taste. Locally sourced. Affordable. Friendly, efficient service.“

“Amazing food always. Owners are very lovely folks“

“What a wonderful place. My boys took me here for dinner last night and it was fantastic. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and the food was incredible. I will be back again and again. Thank you!“

“They support their community. Real American values.“

“We had a great dinner last week with our family of eight! Bethany was our server and she was fabulous!!“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Hendrix & Siena last night . The beautifully lit dining room made you feel at home the second you sat down. I could see from my table the kitchen crew busily preparing the food with love and it was ever so apparent by the constant smiles on their faces that they loved what they were doing. Now for the food... we started with the lemony beans which was so refreshing and well seasoned. I ordered the lasagne duefoglie and it was amazing......you must try it! Others at the table ordered the asparagus caesar salad that had perfectly marinated sea beans and asparagus and the Sorpresine with a carmelized cream sauce to die for. I highly recommend this restaurant and I plan to be back!“

“Had a very special celebrations here recently and it was amazing. Staff was awesome, food was delicious and ambiance was top notch. Every person in our party commented on what a great find this place was and how they couldn’t wait to come back. Thank you to the Luci Ancora team for making our celebration so wonderful.“

“We have been coming to Perrone’s for 15 years and have never ever had a meal that wasn’t awesome. The steaks are phenomenal, especially if you add a sauce like peppercorn. The pasta is excellent and the duck if you haven’t tried, it is phenomenal as well. Our waitress Taylor was attentive, friendly and very efficient. We just love this place and enjoy coming back every time.“

“Great food!! The crab cake was Amazing… don’t forget to get an Amazing margarita 🍹“

“Date night. Food was good. Wine was good. The waiter could be more attentive. He did not even ask us once how the food was and if we needed anything. Had to get extra sauce from the girl who brought out our food.“

“Great dinner tonight. Salad and the short rib, deliciously flavored and tender. Great red wine. Followed by tiramisu. They never disappoint.“

“Had a very crispy and super delicious slice today, like outstanding pizza. 🍕“

“Serves was unbelievably fantastic the server Troy was amazing!!!. He accommodated us perfectly and made our night brighter. I will be coming back as soon as possible!! The food was outstanding and we had too many left overs. We were able to have so much food for our group of five. If you want a special night out this is the place to go!!“

“BEST FOOD IN THE AREA!!!!“

“My steak was just ok. Not very seasoned. But he Alfredo was spot on and so was the Zuppa Soup. My server was amazing. I cannot remember her name but I overheard her telling another table she was a kindergarten teacher. So if you see this, you rock 😍“

“Stopped for dinner before a show at the Orpheum. The bartender made the drinks to perfection and recommended some great food choices for us. Will definitely be back to try some more off the menu. Friendly service!“

“Always delicious! A real treat.“

“Delicious pizza and great service!

I was in town for a work trip and had all day meetings and a social event. Myself and some colleagues were hungry after the event and decided to stop at Carbone’s next to our hotel. We got there at ~8:30 which was 30 minutes before they closed, by the time we finished eating it was 9:20. Not only was the pizza very good, the service was great. At no point during our visit did the two staff members make us feel rushed.

I’ve been to several places where they have started closing up shop and stopped taking orders well before closing time. The staff here still provided us with good service and quality food even though we likely kept them from home later than they expected.

100% would recommend, and will be back (well before closing time) next time I’m in the area.“

“Party of 12 had a blast and the fettuccine was not bland at all! The sirloin steak was fabulous! The Strawberry Margarita was perfectly made. Chicken was not soggy. The minestrone soup was excellent and the salad was perfect. Pleasantly surprised with this Olive Garden visit. Servers were so attentive.“

“This is literally one of the best places I have ever eaten, that I have to write a review more than one place 😂 Absolutely everything is amazing, and I always get it when I have guests in town, to blow their mind 🤯 I am amazed at their quality, especially with delivery. You guys are beyond impressive!! ❤️“

“This is a great casual place to grab a drink…..or have some really great food.…or take a gab with your friends (or strangers)… they do have a beautiful community table!“

“We stopped in search of some great pizza prior to attending an event at TCO stadium. Everything was incredible. The prices oint is perfect, it was like 30 dollars to feed a family of four. That was including tip. 1000% would recommend this to anyone and would go back again.

The pizza itself was perfectly cooked. The crust was crunchy outside and soft inside.“

“I cannot express how much I love this place! The food, the drinks, the service- it’s all wonderful. I never would have gone into this place but I read it was associated with Petit Leon which I’ve loved, so I gave it a try. No, it is not a Mexican restaurant as I assumed ( Tijuana is in Mexico. Right?) The food has a more Asian origin ( Mapo rigatoni, scallion pancake..) and it’s delicious! The drinks were fresh and flavorful. It’s my new favorite place. Love the neighborhood, love the vibe.“

“One of the best pizza places around! They always have great food. My sister and I went on a Friday evening, which we knew would be busy. We arrived at our designated time only to find out that they were behind on orders. The first thing I noticed was how hard your employees were working. They looked so overwhelmed and stressed out, but we’re still able to give us great customer service. I saw the order receipts flowing in by the bunches to the point they had to put them in a huge pile on the countertop. Please limit how many people can order per time slot online. Your employees are working so hard for indoor dining as it is.“
