30 Best Italian Restaurants near Burnsville

“This is one of the best restaurants that I have been to in SO long! The waitress, who I believe to be Carmen, was the nicest person I've met all year, and she was super energetic! (And kind) Then, thee food, oh the food!!! It's amazing! And all in all, this place is amazing!“

“This is such a great little spot that you really wouldn't expect from just passing it by. I've gone here several times both pre covid and now and the food has always been delicious. They're good about honoring special requests and making things vegetarian as well. Definitely worth stopping for dinner - just be careful not to fill up on the seasoned oil and bread!“

“Absolutely incredible food made with love, by very dedicated passionate people!!! We love The Cave!“

“Invite your family and friends and they won’t be disappointed.“

“Amazing food always. Owners are very lovely folks“

“I tried this last week. The sandwiches are fully loaded, great size, and taste good. A half is probably good for two people. I thought the meat ball was the better of the two I tried (the turkey was good though, and the Pastrami was well received). The chicken parm was also good. I like it with a lot of sauce and this place gives it with ample sauce.“

“Good food, great time😊😊“

“Such a great dinner at Perron’s Sul Lago. This is our favorite local spot for a nice night out. On Friday night, we had a wonderful server, Shannon, and loved seeing the new menu since our last visit.

We started with the garlic cheese bread which was amazing! I had the steak tip pasta and my husband had his favorite, the steak tip gnocchi. Everything was delicious, and I cannot wait to go back and try more.“

“I came here with my mom for lunch on Friday to take advantage of their $13 soup, salad, and breadsticks offer.

We came in and it seemed really busy because the waiting room was full, but it was just a large group. They seated us promptly.

We were served by Rebekah. She was great — quick service and a great attitude. She also offered refills on our lunch items consistently.

The food was good. Not much to say here — it’s Olive Garden! But it was consistent and delicious.

Would recommend!“

“The chicken Alfredo was amazing! It's honestly hard to find good food and you guys deserve your recognition and flowers 💐👏🏿 Shout out to head culinary chef at MOA in Bloomington 🤘🏿🤗“

“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.“

“BEST FOOD IN THE AREA!!!!“

“Late review frm 12/2025. Cyanna was our Server (for the second time). Kind, polite, exceeds our expectations AND she ALWAYS makes sure we are taken care of! Also, hope she is feeling better?! Pls let her know, she has been in our thoughts!! 10/10 for Cyanna, xoxo“

“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.“

“I had a fantastic time enjoying my pizza while staying at a nearby hotel—it was a delightful treat for a Friday night! The flavor was amazing, and I loved that I could order a vegan option since it's been a while since I visited Pizza Luce. The staff was incredibly friendly when I came in to pick up my order.“

“Had the House Special today and it was WONDERFUL! My old boss use to order from the Mendota one & it was great...this at Edina was just as good as I remembered the one's my boss brought into work... yes, I'll be back!“

“Coolest atmosphere. Consistently delicious food (delivery, takeout or in-house!). Excellent staff. We've mostly been enjoying our Lucé at home the past few years, but had a teen visiting and wanted to give them the full Lucé experience. I made a reservation requesting a booth because of hearing loss and sensory sensitivities in our family. We were given a booth back in the corner and we haven't had an evening out that was so pleasant as a family in years! Staff was excellent - for us and the family at the next table with a high-energy toddler who had a spill that was cleaned by cheerful staff who assured the family it was no problem. We used to be that family, so I appreciated this! Everything was clean and the restaurant looks to be in great condition. The artichoke dip was the best ever (I swear we marvel this every time we have it). We tried two new pizza types - the Classic and Wild Mushroom - both were excellent, though Athena and The Lucé will still be our go-to choices. The greek salad was high quality and very fresh. The slice of cheese pizza we took home to our youngest was good (as always - it's the picky little dude's favorite pizza!) Another word on staff - We appreciated our host and server's clear communication; I'm unsure if they did this because of awareness of our noted hearing issue, but thanks to that and the booth placement, I don't think any of us had to ask for repeats. Thank you Luce for honoring the booth request and being consistent with excellent food and service - it made a world of difference for our whole family! ("Tubular" as our visiting teen said)“

“Best pizza in MN by far. Friendly and fast service!!!“

“Best deep dish pizza in the area. Lots of cheese and toppings.“

“Great food and service was awesome“

“Had the Chicago torpedo, which was excellent. They also had a banana drink on the dessert menu. It’s alcoholic And tastes just like banana cream pie! You have to try it. Aaron is absolutely awesome and our server Elena was super nice and provided great service. We will definitely be back.“

“Took a chance on a small mall coffee shop-what a surprise. Best coffee I’ve had around the Twin cities. Whatever coffee they’re using, it’s fantastic. Wish they had as many locations as the other chain stores (or at least one out in Eagan 😆)“

“I can't say enough about this Pizza Man! Their pizza is #1 in Eagan. And they really know how to take care of their customers. Thank you Chad for all you have done!! We have been customers since you opened and we are not changing. You guy are AWESOME!!“

“Great pizza, crust, sauce, toppings are all quality stuff. Fast, friendly service. Very clean restaurant. Definitely coming back!“

“awesome deep dish pizza thank you“

“Yum! All I need to say!“

“1 cup of dressing and 4 croutons for my $7.50 “Caeser salad”? Where’s Ashton Kutcher because I’ve been punked. 🤦🏼‍♀️“

“Hopefully it will never change like so many places do , I don't know what makes it so good but it's even better than 5 ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ so I'll have to give it 10 . My usual is the 4 corner w / sausage, extra sauce and Turbo crust and I ask for it well done. They haven't disappointed me for the last 9 years and I am already looking forward to the next one. Tuesday is a good deal with the coupon that comes with every order on their takeout menu 😘“
