29 Best Italian Restaurants near Burnsville

“Took my mother for her 77th birthday on 4/10. Good food and great service. Ingrid was on top of everything. We love the Caprese salad. I recommend the seafood manicotti and the seafood linguine. Of course the strawberry cheesecake is delicious as well. I love to see Jill as she is always smiling. Thanks, ladies!“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 !!“

“It has been many years since a restaurant has provided excellent service, flavorful food and reasonable prices. I drive from South Minneapolis to Woodbury for Family Dinners and to-go orders, it is more than worth the trip. Andiamo is my new favorite.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“I live in the outer suburbs which isn’t close to a Pizza Luce, so I’ve never ordered from here. My friends wanted pizza from here for a wedding shower. I called them to ask for prices, and the man who answered the phone was so friendly and patient. I appreciated it so much. I finally found the online order and ordered that way for curbside pickup the next day. The pizzas and salads were delicious. Worth every dollar!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“This is a very nice Olive Garden. Its a beautiful building and has attractive decor. My wife and I stopped in for the all you can eat soup, salad bar, and breadsticks. The soups were extremely flavorful, the signature Olive Garden salad has always been a favorite, and the breadsticks were fresh and hot. We couldn't have eaten for much less at a fast food place. I highly recommend giving them a visit.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!!“

“I was staying at the Marriott next door and walked here for some good pizza and was not disappointed. Get the deep dish. It’s really good pizza and way more authentic than Punch. In May I’m be coming back for training and will try the thin crust.“

“25-year customer of Italian Pie Shoppe They had there struggled the past year, but I will say they are doing a fine job now. We were in restaurant Saturday night, and it was very busy, the staff is up to speed. The food is awesome! we had deep dish, and it was cooked perfect. Remember this is a small business, and not a large chain. They get busy and may. need to throttle back from time to time. If you are a customer and haven't been in a year or so, go back.“

“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?!?!?!“

“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!“

“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.“

“In a world of fast food garbage, Piada in Eagan stands out as something delicious and unique that you can still get quickly for lunch. Everything I have had on the menu has been wonderful, but it’s the team that really stands out. Always filled with recommendations and suggestions, they are willing to steer you towards what they like and how they like it. I have become addicted to the BLT with grilled chicken, but I love their bowls as well!Chef Steve is The Bomb and it’s always great to chat with the good folks who perk up a busy day with flavor and smiles.“
